## Critical Fixes Applied

### 1. Sensitive Data Logging (Security)
- Sanitize scenario text in decision_context.py (truncate to 30 chars)
- Sanitize entity names in context_retriever.py (truncate to 20 chars)
- Sanitize category names in context_retriever.py (truncate to 20 chars)
- Replace raw exception details with exception type names
- Prevents PII/PHI leakage into application logs

### 2. Random Embedding Fallback (Reliability)
- Remove random embedding fallback in semantic embedding generation
- Remove random embedding fallback in structural embedding generation
- Replace with clear RuntimeError exceptions with actionable messages
- Prevents silent degradation and misleading similarity results

### 3. Filter Decisions kwargs TypeError (API Compatibility)
- Add **kwargs parameter to VectorStore.filter_decisions()
- Process kwargs ending with '_min'/'_max' as range filters
- Process other kwargs as exact match filters
- Maintains backward compatibility with existing API

### 4. Entities Filter Never Matches (Core Functionality)
- Fix list-to-list comparison in _filter_by_metadata()
- Handle both scalar and list metadata values correctly
- Use set intersection for list-to-list matching
- Fixes search_by_entities() and filter_decisions(entities=...)

## Testing Verification
- All critical fixes tested and verified working
- Sensitive data properly truncated in logs
- Embedding failures raise clear errors
- kwargs API works with loan_amount_min filters
- Entities filter correctly matches decisions
- Context retriever logging sanitized

## Impact
- Security: Prevents sensitive data exposure in logs
- Reliability: Clear error messages instead of silent failures
- Compatibility: Full backward API compatibility maintained
- Functionality: Core filtering features now work correctly

+
+## [0.2.5] - 2026-01-27
+
+### Added

+- **Configurable LLM Retry Logic**:
+    - Exposed `max_retries` parameter in `NERExtractor`, `RelationExtractor`, `TripletExtractor` and low-level extraction methods (`extract_entities_llm`, `extract_relations_llm`, `extract_triplets_llm`).
+    - Defaults to 3 retries to prevent infinite loops during JSON validation failures or API timeouts.
+    - Propagated retry configuration through chunked processing helpers to ensure consistent behavior for long documents.
+    - Updated `03_Earnings_Call_Analysis.ipynb` to use `max_retries=3` by default.
+
+### Added
+- **Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) Support**:
+    - Enabled full support for custom Hugging Face models in `NERExtractor`, `RelationExtractor`, and `TripletExtractor`.
+    - Added support for custom tokenizers in `HuggingFaceModelLoader` to handle models with non-standard tokenization requirements.
+    - Implemented robust fallback logic for model selection: runtime options (`extract(model=...)`) now correctly override configuration defaults.
+- **Enhanced NER Implementation**:
+    - Added configurable aggregation strategies (`simple`, `first`, `average`, `max`) to `extract_entities_huggingface` for better sub-word token handling.
+    - Implemented robust IOB/BILOU parsing to reconstruct entities from raw model outputs when structured output is unavailable.
+    - Added confidence scoring for aggregated entities.
+- **Relation Extraction Improvements**:
+    - Implemented standard entity marker technique (wrapping subject/object with `<subj>`, `<obj>` tags) in `extract_relations_huggingface` for compatibility with sequence classification models.
+    - Added structured output parsing to convert raw model predictions into validated `Relation` objects.
+- **Triplet Extraction Completion**:
+    - Added specialized parsing for Seq2Seq models (e.g., REBEL) in `extract_triplets_huggingface` to generate structured triplets directly from text.
+    - Implemented post-processing logic to clean and validate generated triplets.
+
+### Fixed
+- **LLM Extraction Stability**:
+    - Fixed infinite retry loops in `BaseProvider` by strictly enforcing `max_retries` limit during structured output generation.
+    - Resolved stuck execution in earnings call analysis notebooks when using smaller models (e.g., Llama 3 8B) that frequently produce invalid JSON.
+- **Model Parameter Precedence**:
+    - Fixed issue where configuration defaults took precedence over runtime arguments in Hugging Face extractors. Runtime options now correctly override config values.
+- **Import Handling**:
+    - Fixed circular import issues in test suites by implementing robust mocking strategies.
+
+## [0.2.4] - 2026-01-22
+
+### Added

+    - Added `ingest_ontology` convenience function and integrated it into the unified `ingest(source_type="ontology")` interface.
+    - Added recursive directory scanning support for batch ontology ingestion.
+    - Exposed ingestion tools in `semantica.ontology` for better discoverability.
+    - Added `OntologyData` dataclass for consistent metadata handling (source path, format, timestamps).
+- **Documentation**:
+    - **Ontology Usage Guide**: Updated `ontology_usage.md` with comprehensive examples for single-file and directory ingestion.
+    - **API Reference**: Updated `ontology.md` with `OntologyIngestor` class documentation and method details.

+    - **Demo Script**: Added `examples/demo_ontology_ingest.py` for end-to-end usage demonstration.
+
+## [0.2.3] - 2026-01-20
+
+### Fixed
+- **LLM Relation Extraction Parsing**:
+    - Fixed relation extraction returning zero relations despite successful API calls to Groq and other providers
+    - Normalized typed responses from instructor/OpenAI/Groq to consistent dict format before parsing
+    - Added structured JSON fallback when typed generation yields zero relations to avoid silent empty outputs
+    - Removed acceptance of extra kwargs (`max_tokens`, `max_entities_prompt`) from relation extraction internals
+    - Filtered kwargs passed to provider LLM calls to only `temperature` and `verbose`
+- **API Parameter Handling**:
+    - Limited kwargs forwarded in chunked extraction helper to prevent parameter leakage
+    - Ensured minimal, safe parameters are passed to provider calls
+- **Pipeline Circular Import (Issues #192, #193)**:
+    - Fixed circular import between `pipeline_builder` and `pipeline_validator` triggered during `semantica.pipeline` import
+    - Lazy-loaded `PipelineValidator` inside `PipelineBuilder.__init__` and guarded type hints with `TYPE_CHECKING`
+    - Ensured `from semantica.deduplication import DuplicateDetector` no longer fails even when pipeline module is imported
+- **JupyterLab Progress Output (Issue #181)**:
+    - Added `SEMANTICA_DISABLE_JUPYTER_PROGRESS` environment variable to disable rich Jupyter/Colab progress tables
+    - When enabled, progress falls back to console-style output, preventing infinite scrolling and JupyterLab out-of-memory errors
+
+### Added
+- **Comprehensive Test Suite**:
+-    - Added unit tests (`tests/test_relations_llm.py`) with mocked LLM provider covering both typed and structured response paths
+-    - Added integration tests (`tests/integration/test_relations_groq.py`) for real Groq API calls with environment variable API key
+-    - Tests validate relation extraction completion and result parsing across different response formats
+- **Amazon Neptune Dev Environment**:
+-    - Added CloudFormation template (`cookbook/introduction/neptune-setup.yaml`) to provision a dev Neptune cluster with public endpoint and IAM auth enabled
+-    - Documented deployment, cost estimates, and IAM User vs IAM Role best practices in `cookbook/introduction/21_Amazon_Neptune_Store.ipynb`
+-    - Added `cfn-lint` to `.pre-commit-config.yaml` for validating CloudFormation templates while excluding `neptune-setup.yaml` from generic YAML linters
+- **Vector Store High-Performance Ingestion**:
+-    - Added `VectorStore.add_documents` for high-throughput ingestion with automatic embedding generation, batching, and parallel processing
+-    - Added `VectorStore.embed_batch` helper for generating embeddings for lists of texts without immediately storing them
+-    - Enabled default parallel ingestion in `VectorStore` with `max_workers=6` for common workloads
+-    - Added dedicated documentation page `docs/vector_store_usage.md` describing high-performance vector store usage and configuration
+-    - Added `tests/vector_store/test_vector_store_parallel.py` covering parallel vs sequential performance, error handling, and edge cases for `add_documents` and `embed_batch`
+
+### Changed
+- **Relation Extraction API**:
+-    - Simplified parameter interface by removing unused kwargs that were previously ignored
+-    - Improved error handling and verbose logging for debugging relation extraction issues
+-    - Enhanced robustness of post-response parsing across different LLM providers
+- **Vector Store Defaults and Examples**:
+-    - Standardized `VectorStore` default concurrency to `max_workers=6` for parallel ingestion
+-    - Updated vector store reference documentation and usage guides to rely on implicit defaults instead of requiring manual `max_workers` configuration in examples
+
+
+## [0.2.2] - 2026-01-15
+
+### Added
+- **Parallel Extraction Engine**:
+    - Implemented high-throughput parallel batch processing across all core extractors (`NERExtractor`, `RelationExtractor`, `TripletExtractor`, `EventDetector`, `SemanticNetworkExtractor`) using `concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor`.
+    - Added `max_workers` configuration parameter (default: 1) to all extractor `extract()` methods, allowing users to tune concurrency based on available CPU cores or API rate limits.
+    - **Parallel Chunking**: Implemented parallel processing for large document chunking in `_extract_entities_chunked` and `_extract_relations_chunked`, significantly reducing latency for long-form text analysis.
+    - **Thread-Safe Progress Tracking**: Enhanced `ProgressTracker` to handle concurrent updates from multiple threads without race conditions during batch processing.
+- **Semantic Extract Performance & Regression**:
+    - Added edge-case regression suite covering max worker defaults, LLM prompt entity filtering, and extractor reuse.
+    - Added a runnable real-use-case benchmark script for batch latency across `NERExtractor`, `RelationExtractor`, `TripletExtractor`, `EventDetector`, `SemanticAnalyzer`, and `SemanticNetworkExtractor`.
+    - Added Groq LLM smoke tests that exercise LLM-based entities/relations/triplets when `GROQ_API_KEY` is available via environment configuration.
+
+### Security
+- **Credential Sanitization**:
+    - Removed hardcoded API keys from 8 cookbook notebooks to prevent secret leakage.
+    - Enforced environment variable usage for `GROQ_API_KEY` across all examples.
+- **Secure Caching**:
+    - Updated `ExtractionCache` to exclude sensitive parameters (e.g., `api_key`, `token`, `password`) from cache key generation, preventing secret leakage and enabling safe cache sharing.
+    - Upgraded cache key hashing algorithm from MD5 to **SHA-256** for enhanced collision resistance and security.
+
+### Changed
+- **Gemini SDK Migration**:
+    - Migrated `GeminiProvider` to use the new `google-genai` SDK (v0.1.0+) to address deprecation warnings.
+    - Implemented graceful fallback to `google.generativeai` for backward compatibility.
+- **Dependency Resolution**:
+    - Pinned `opentelemetry-api` and `opentelemetry-sdk` to `1.37.0` to resolve pip conflicts.
+    - Updated `protobuf` and `grpcio` constraints for better stability.
+- **Entity Filtering Scope**:
+    - Removed entity filtering from non-LLM extraction flows to avoid accuracy regressions.
+    - Applied entity downselection only to LLM relation prompt construction, while matching returned entities against the full original entity list.
+- **Batch Concurrency Defaults**:
+    - Standardized `max_workers` defaulting across `semantic_extract` and tuned for low-latency: ML-backed methods default to single-worker, while pattern/regex/rules/LLM/huggingface methods use a higher parallelism default capped by CPU.
+    - Raised the global `optimization.max_workers` default to 8 for better throughput on batch workloads.
+
+### Performance
+- **Bottleneck Optimization (GitHub Issue #186)**:
+    - **Resolved Bottleneck #1 (Sequential Processing)**: Replaced sequential `for` loops with parallel execution for both document-level batches and intra-document chunks.
+    - **Performance Gains**: Achieved **~1.89x speedup** in real-world extraction scenarios (tested with Groq `llama-3.3-70b-versatile` on standard datasets).
+    - **Initialization Optimization**: Refactored test suite to use class-level `setUpClass` for LLM provider initialization, eliminating redundant API client creation overhead.
+- **Low-Latency Entity Matching**:
+    - Avoided heavyweight embedding stack imports on common matches by improving fast matching heuristics and short-circuiting before embedding similarity.
+    - Optimized entity matching to prioritize exact/substring/word-boundary matches and only fall back to embedding similarity when needed, reducing CPU overhead in LLM relation/triplet mapping.
+
+
+## [0.2.1] - 2026-01-12
+
+### Fixed
+- **LLM Output Stability (Bug #176)**:
+    - Fixed incomplete JSON output issues by correctly propagating `max_tokens` parameter in `extract_relations_llm`.
+    - Implemented automatic error handling that halves chunk sizes and retries when LLM context or output limits are exceeded.
+    - Fixed `AttributeError` in provider integration by ensuring consistent parameter passing via `**kwargs`.
+- **Constraint Relaxations**:
+    - Removed hardcoded `max_length` constraints from `Entity`, `Relation`, and `Triplet` classes to support long-form semantic extraction (e.g., long descriptions or names).
+- Fixed orchestrator lazy property initialization and configuration normalization logic in `Orchestrator`.
+- Resolved `AssertionError` in orchestrator tests by aligning test mocks with production component usage.
+- Fixed dependency compatibility issues by pinning `protobuf>=5.29.1,<7.0` and `grpcio>=1.71.2`.
+- Added missing dependencies `GitPython` and `chardet` to `pyproject.toml`.
+- Verified and aligned `FileObject.text` property usage in GraphRAG notebooks for consistent content decoding.
+
+### Changed
+- **Chunking Defaults**:
+    - Increased default `max_text_length` for auto-chunking to **64,000 characters** (from 32k/16k) for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, and DeepSeek providers.
+    - Unified chunking logic across `extract_entities_llm`, `extract_relations_llm`, and `extract_triplets_llm`.
+- **Groq Support**:
+    - Standardized Groq provider defaults to use `llama-3.3-70b-versatile` with a 64k context window.
+    - Added native support for `max_tokens` and `max_completion_tokens` to prevent output truncation.
+
+### Added
+- **Testing**:
+    - Added `tests/reproduce_issue_176.py` to validate `max_tokens` propagation and chunking behavior across all extractors.
+
+

-**Open Source Framework for Semantic Layer & Knowledge Engineering**
-
-> **Transform chaotic data into intelligent knowledge.**
-
-*The missing fabric between raw data and AI engineering. A comprehensive open-source framework for building semantic layers and knowledge engineering systems that transform unstructured data into AI-ready knowledge — powering Knowledge Graph-Powered RAG (GraphRAG), AI Agents, Multi-Agent Systems, and AI applications with structured semantic knowledge.*
-
-**100% Open Source** • **MIT Licensed** • **Latest Version: 0.2.0** • **Production Ready** • **Community Driven**
-
-[**Discord**](https://discord.gg/pMHguUzG)
+> **Transform Chaos into Intelligence. Build AI systems that are explainable, traceable, and trustworthy — not black boxes.**
 
 </div>
 
-## What is Semantica?
-
-Semantica bridges the gap between raw data chaos and AI-ready knowledge. It's a **semantic intelligence platform** that transforms unstructured data into structured, queryable knowledge graphs powering GraphRAG, AI agents, and multi-agent systems.
-
-### What Makes Semantica Different?
-
-Unlike traditional approaches that process isolated documents and extract text into vectors, Semantica understands **semantic relationships across all content**, provides **automated ontology generation**, and builds a **unified semantic layer** with **production-grade QA**.
-
-| **Traditional Approaches** | **Semantica's Approach** |
-|:---------------------------|:-------------------------|
-| Process data as isolated documents | Understands semantic relationships across all content |
-| Extract text and store vectors | Builds knowledge graphs with meaningful connections |
-| Generic entity recognition | General-purpose ontology generation and validation |
-| Manual schema definition | Automatic semantic modeling from content patterns |
-| Disconnected data silos | Unified semantic layer across all data sources |
-| Basic quality checks | Production-grade QA with conflict detection & resolution |
 
 ---
 
-## 🎯 The Problem We Solve
+## 🚀 Why Semantica?
 
-### The Semantic Gap
+**Semantica** bridges the **semantic gap** between text similarity and true meaning. It's the **semantic intelligence layer** that makes your AI agents auditable, explainable, and trustworthy.
 
-Organizations today face a **fundamental mismatch** between how data exists and how AI systems need it.
-
-#### The Semantic Gap: Problem vs. Solution
-
-Organizations have **unstructured data** (PDFs, emails, logs), **messy data** (inconsistent formats, duplicates, conflicts), and **disconnected silos** (no shared context, missing relationships). AI systems need **clear rules** (formal ontologies), **structured entities** (validated, consistent), and **relationships** (semantic connections, context-aware reasoning).
-
-| **What Organizations Have** | **What AI Systems Require** |
-|:------------------------------|:------------------------------|
-| **Unstructured Data** | **Clear Rules** |
-| PDFs, emails, logs | Formal ontologies |
-| Mixed schemas | Graphs & Networks |
-| Conflicting facts | |
-| **Messy, Noisy Data** | **Structured Entities** |
-| Inconsistent formats | Validated entities |
-| Duplicate records | Domain Knowledge |
-| Missing relationships | |
-| **Disconnected, Siloed Data** | **Relationships** |
-| Data in separate systems | Semantic connections |
-| No shared context | Context-Aware Reasoning |
-| Isolated knowledge | |
-
-### **SEMANTICA FRAMEWORK**
-
-Semantica operates through three integrated layers that transform raw data into AI-ready knowledge:
-
-**Input Layer** — Universal ingestion from multiple data formats (PDFs, DOCX, HTML, JSON, CSV, databases, live feeds, APIs, streams, archives, multi-modal content) into a unified pipeline.
-
-**Semantic Layer** — Core intelligence engine performing entity extraction, relationship mapping, ontology generation, context engineering, and quality assurance. Includes **advanced entity deduplication** (Jaro-Winkler, disjoint property handling) to ensure a clean single source of truth.
-
-**Output Layer** — Production-ready knowledge graphs, vector embeddings, and validated ontologies that power GraphRAG systems, AI agents, and multi-agent systems.
-
-**Powers: GraphRAG, AI Agents, Multi-Agent Systems**
-
-
-
-
-
-### What Happens Without Semantics?
-
-**They Break** — Systems crash due to inconsistent formats and missing structure.
-
-**They Hallucinate** — AI models generate false information without semantic context to validate outputs.
-
-**They Fail Silently** — Systems return wrong answers without warnings, leading to bad decisions.
-
-**Why?** Systems have data — not semantics. They can't connect concepts, understand relationships, validate against domain rules, or detect conflicts.
+Perfect for **high-stakes domains** where mistakes have real consequences.
 
 ---
 
-## 💡 The Semantica Solution
+### ⚡ Get Started in 30 Seconds
 
-**Semantica** is an **open-source framework** that closes the semantic gap between real-world messy data and the structured semantic layers required by advanced AI systems — GraphRAG, agents, multi-agent systems, reasoning models, and more.
+```bash
+pip install semantica
+```
 
-### How Semantica Solves These Problems
+```python
+from semantica.semantic_extract import NERExtractor
+from semantica.kg import GraphBuilder
 
-**Efficient Embeddings** — Uses **FastEmbed** by default for high-performance, lightweight local embedding generation (faster than sentence-transformers).
+# Extract entities and build knowledge graph
+ner = NERExtractor(method="ml", model="en_core_web_sm")
+entities = ner.extract("Apple Inc. was founded by Steve Jobs in 1976.")
+kg = GraphBuilder().build({"entities": entities, "relationships": []})
 
-**Universal Data Ingestion** — Handles multiple formats (PDF, DOCX, HTML, JSON, CSV, databases, APIs, streams) with unified pipeline, no custom parsers needed.
+print(f"Built KG with {len(kg.get('entities', []))} entities")
+```
 
-**Automated Semantic Extraction** — NER, relationship extraction, and triplet generation with LLM enhancement. Includes **auto-chunking** for long documents and **robust error handling** with automatic retry logic.
-
-**Knowledge Graph Construction** — Production-ready graphs with entity resolution, temporal support, and graph analytics. Queryable knowledge ready for AI applications.
-
-**GraphRAG Engine** — Hybrid vector + graph retrieval achieves 91% accuracy (30% improvement) via semantic search + graph traversal for multi-hop reasoning. Features LLM-generated responses grounded in knowledge graph context with reasoning traces. [See Comparison Benchmark](cookbook/use_cases/advanced_rag/02_RAG_vs_GraphRAG_Comparison.ipynb)
-
-**AI Agent Context Engineering** — Persistent memory with RAG + knowledge graphs enables context maintenance, action validation, and structured knowledge access.
-
-**Automated Ontology Generation** — 6-stage LLM pipeline generates validated OWL ontologies with HermiT/Pellet validation, eliminating manual engineering.
-
-**Production-Grade QA** — Conflict detection, deduplication, quality scoring, and provenance tracking ensure trusted, production-ready knowledge graphs.
-
-**Pipeline Orchestration** — Flexible pipeline builder with parallel execution enables scalable processing via orchestrator-worker pattern.

+
+## 🚨 The Problem: The Semantic Gap
+
+### Most AI systems fail in high-stakes domains because they operate on **text similarity**, not **meaning**.
+
+### Understanding the Semantic Gap
+
+The **semantic gap** is the fundamental disconnect between what AI systems can process (text patterns, vector similarities) and what high-stakes applications require (semantic understanding, meaning, context, and relationships).
+
+**Traditional AI approaches:**
+- Rely on statistical patterns and text similarity
+- Cannot understand relationships between entities
+- Cannot reason about domain-specific rules
+- Cannot explain why decisions were made
+- Cannot trace back to original sources with confidence
+
+**High-stakes AI requires:**
+- Semantic understanding of entities and their relationships
+- Domain knowledge encoded as formal rules (ontologies)
+- Explainable reasoning paths
+- Source-level provenance
+- Conflict detection and resolution
+
+**Semantica bridges this gap** by providing a semantic intelligence layer that transforms unstructured data into validated, explainable, and auditable knowledge.
+
+### What Organizations Have vs What They Need
+
+| **Current State** | **Required for High-Stakes AI** |
+|:---------------------|:-----------------------------------|
+| PDFs, DOCX, emails, logs | Formal domain rules (ontologies) |
+| APIs, databases, streams | Structured and validated entities |
+| Conflicting facts and duplicates | Explicit semantic relationships |
+| Siloed systems with no lineage | **Explainable reasoning paths** |
+| | **Source-level provenance** |
+| | **Audit-ready compliance** |
+
+### The Cost of Missing Semantics
+
+- **Decisions cannot be explained** — No transparency in AI reasoning
+- **Errors cannot be traced** — No way to debug or improve
+- **Conflicts go undetected** — Contradictory information causes failures
+- **Compliance becomes impossible** — No audit trails for regulations
+
+**Trustworthy AI requires semantic accountability.**

+# Semantica Performance Benchmark Suite
+
+This document outlines the architecture, directory structure, and usage of the performance benchmarking suite for the Semantica Agentic RAG framework.
+
+## Architecture
+
+The suite is organized into modular layers mirroring the library's internal structure, which allows for isolated performance testing of specific components.
+
+### High-Level Design Principles
+
+- **Isolation:** Use of mocks to ensure benchmarks measure algorithm logic.
+
+- **Virtualization:** A custom `conftest.py` virtualization layer allows tests to run without heavy local dependencies.
+
+- **Pedantic Measurement:** High-iteration counts and statistical rounds to filter out system noise.
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+Based on the current production environment, the suite is organized as follows:
+
+|                       |                                                                    |
+| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| Folder                | Description                                                        |
+| context/              | Low-level graph operations and memory storage logic.               |
+| context_memory/       | Agent-level memory management and GraphRAG retrieval patterns.     |
+| core_processing/      | Throughput tests for NER, extraction, and graph building.          |
+| export/               | Serialization benchmarks for JSON, CSV, RDF, and GraphML.          |
+| infrastructure/       | Support scripts, including the regression comparison engine.       |
+| input_layer/          | Ingestion, parsing, and splitting performance.                     |
+| normalize/            | Text cleaning, encoding handling, and date normalization.          |
+| ontology/             | Inference, serialization, and namespace management overhead.       |
+| output_orchestration/ | Parallelism and execution pipeline management.                     |
+| quality_assurance/    | Deduplication and conflict resolution strategies.                  |
+| results/              | Storage for benchmark JSON outputs and performance baselines.      |
+| storage/              | Latency tests for Vector stores (FAISS) and Triplet stores (Jena). |
+| visualization/        | Computational cost of layout algorithms and chart rendering.       |
+
+## Usage
+
+### Running the Suite
+
+To run the full suite and generate a new results file:
+
+```bash
+python benchmarks/benchmark_runner.py
+```
+
+### Strict Mode (CI/CD)
+
+The suite is designed to integrate with automated pipelines. Using the --strict flag will cause the runner to return a non-zero exit code if a performance regression greater than 15% is detected.
+
+```bash
+python benchmarks/benchmark_runner.py --strict
+```
+
+
+
+### Performance Comparison
+
+The comparison engine (infrastructure/compare.py) uses Z-scores to distinguish between actual performance regressions and environmental noise.
+
+- Regression: Change > 15% AND Z-score > 2.0.
+
+- Noise: Change > 15% but Z-score < 2.0.
+
+### Updating Baseline
+
+When a performance change is intentional (e.g., a more complex but necessary algorithm is added), update the "gold standard" baseline:
+
+```bash
+cp benchmarks/results/run_latest.json benchmarks/results/baseline.json
+```

+# Apache Arrow Exporter
+
+## Overview
+
+The Apache Arrow exporter provides high-performance columnar data export for Semantica's knowledge graphs, entities, and relationships. It uses explicit schemas (no inference) and writes Arrow IPC files (.arrow) that are compatible with Pandas and DuckDB.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Explicit Schemas**: Pre-defined schemas for entities and relationships (no inference)
+- **Columnar Format**: Efficient storage and fast analytics
+- **Metadata Support**: Converts metadata dictionaries to Arrow struct fields
+- **Field Normalization**: Handles various entity and relationship field name variations
+- **Progress Tracking**: Integrated progress monitoring
+- **Error Handling**: Structured error handling with detailed logging
+- **Pandas/DuckDB Compatible**: Direct conversion to DataFrames and SQL queries
+
+## Installation
+
+The Arrow exporter requires PyArrow:
+
+```bash
+pip install pyarrow
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```python
+from semantica.export import ArrowExporter
+
+# Initialize exporter
+exporter = ArrowExporter()
+
+# Export entities
+entities = [
+    {"id": "e1", "text": "Alice", "type": "Person", "confidence": 0.95},
+    {"id": "e2", "text": "Acme Corp", "type": "Organization", "confidence": 0.88}
+]
+exporter.export_entities(entities, "entities.arrow")
+
+# Export relationships
+relationships = [
+    {"id": "r1", "source_id": "e1", "target_id": "e2", "type": "WORKS_FOR"}
+]
+exporter.export_relationships(relationships, "relationships.arrow")
+
+# Export knowledge graph
+knowledge_graph = {
+    "entities": entities,
+    "relationships": relationships
+}
+exporter.export_knowledge_graph(knowledge_graph, "kg_base")
+# Creates: kg_base_entities.arrow, kg_base_relationships.arrow
+```
+
+### Using Convenience Function
+
+```python
+from semantica.export import export_arrow
+
+# Simple export
+export_arrow(entities, "entities.arrow")
+
+# Export multiple types
+data = {
+    "entities": entities,
+    "relationships": relationships
+}
+export_arrow(data, "output_base")
+```
+
+### With Compression
+
+```python
+# Use LZ4 compression
+exporter = ArrowExporter(compression="lz4")
+exporter.export_entities(entities, "entities_compressed.arrow")
+```
+
+## Schemas
+
+### Entity Schema
+
+```python
+ENTITY_SCHEMA = pa.schema([
+    pa.field("id", pa.string(), nullable=False),
+    pa.field("text", pa.string(), nullable=True),
+    pa.field("type", pa.string(), nullable=True),
+    pa.field("confidence", pa.float64(), nullable=True),
+    pa.field("start", pa.int64(), nullable=True),
+    pa.field("end", pa.int64(), nullable=True),
+    pa.field("metadata", pa.struct([
+        pa.field("keys", pa.list_(pa.string())),
+        pa.field("values", pa.list_(pa.string()))
+    ]), nullable=True),
+])
+```
+
+### Relationship Schema
+
+```python
+RELATIONSHIP_SCHEMA = pa.schema([
+    pa.field("id", pa.string(), nullable=False),
+    pa.field("source_id", pa.string(), nullable=False),
+    pa.field("target_id", pa.string(), nullable=False),
+    pa.field("type", pa.string(), nullable=True),
+    pa.field("confidence", pa.float64(), nullable=True),
+    pa.field("metadata", pa.struct([
+        pa.field("keys", pa.list_(pa.string())),
+        pa.field("values", pa.list_(pa.string()))
+    ]), nullable=True),
+])
+```
+
+## Field Normalization
+
+The exporter automatically normalizes field names:
+
+**Entities:**
+- `text`, `label`, `name` → `text`
+- `type`, `entity_type` → `type`
+- `id`, `entity_id` → `id`
+- `start`, `start_offset` → `start`
+- `end`, `end_offset` → `end`
+
+**Relationships:**
+- `source`, `source_id` → `source_id`
+- `target`, `target_id` → `target_id`
+- `type`, `relationship_type` → `type`
+
+## Reading Arrow Files
+
+### With PyArrow
+
+```python
+import pyarrow as pa
+import pyarrow.ipc as ipc
+
+with pa.OSFile("entities.arrow", 'rb') as source:
+    with ipc.open_file(source) as reader:
+        table = reader.read_all()
+        print(table.schema)
+        print(table.to_pandas())
+```
+
+### With Pandas
+
+```python
+import pandas as pd
+import pyarrow.ipc as ipc
+
+with ipc.open_file("entities.arrow") as reader:
+    df = reader.read_all().to_pandas()
+    print(df)
+```
+
+### With DuckDB
+
+```python
+import duckdb
+
+# Query Arrow file directly
+result = duckdb.query("SELECT * FROM 'entities.arrow' WHERE type = 'Person'")
+print(result.df())
+```
+
+## Methods
+
+### `export(data, file_path, schema=None, **options)`
+
+Generic export method that handles both single and multiple files.
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `data`: List of dicts or dict with list values

+- `**options`: Additional options
+
+### `export_entities(entities, file_path, **options)`
+
+Export entities to Arrow IPC file with normalization.
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `entities`: List of entity dictionaries
+- `file_path`: Output Arrow file path
+- `**options`: Additional options
+
+### `export_relationships(relationships, file_path, **options)`

+
+Export knowledge graph to multiple Arrow files.
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `knowledge_graph`: Knowledge graph dictionary with 'entities' and 'relationships'
+- `base_path`: Base path for output files (without extension)
+- `**options`: Additional options
+
+## Examples
+
+See `examples/arrow_export_example.py` for comprehensive usage examples.
+
+## Testing
+
+Run the test suite:
+
+```bash
+# All Arrow exporter tests
+pytest tests/test_arrow_exporter.py -v

 ---
 
-## 🏗️ Understanding Semantica's Architecture
+## Quick Start
 
-Semantica uses a **modular architecture** where each module handles a specific aspect of semantic processing. This design gives you flexibility and control over your pipeline.
-
-### Primary Approach: Individual Modules
-
-The recommended approach is to use individual modules directly. Each module can be imported and used independently:
-
-- **`semantica.ingest`**: Data ingestion from files, web, databases
-- **`semantica.parse`**: Document parsing and text extraction
-- **`semantica.semantic_extract`**: Entity and relationship extraction
-- **`semantica.kg`**: Knowledge graph construction
-- **`semantica.embeddings`**: Vector embedding generation
-- **`semantica.vector_store`**: Vector database operations
-
-**Benefits of the modular approach:**
-- **Full control**: Customize each step of your pipeline
-- **Flexibility**: Mix and match modules as needed
-- **Transparency**: Clear understanding of what each step does
-- **Easy debugging**: Isolate issues to specific modules
-
-**Quick Example:**
 ```python
-from semantica.ingest import FileIngestor
-from semantica.parse import DocumentParser
-from semantica.semantic_extract import NERExtractor, RelationExtractor
+from semantica.semantic_extract import NERExtractor
 from semantica.kg import GraphBuilder
 
-# Each module is used independently
-ingestor = FileIngestor()
-parser = DocumentParser()
-ner = NERExtractor()
-builder = GraphBuilder()
+# Extract entities
+ner = NERExtractor(method="ml", model="en_core_web_sm")
+entities = ner.extract("Apple Inc. was founded by Steve Jobs in 1976.")
+
+# Build knowledge graph
+kg = GraphBuilder().build({"entities": entities, "relationships": []})
+print(f"Built KG with {len(kg.get('entities', []))} entities")
 ```
 
-**For detailed examples, see:**
-- **[Welcome to Semantica Cookbook](https://github.com/Hawksight-AI/semantica/blob/main/cookbook/introduction/01_Welcome_to_Semantica.ipynb)**: Comprehensive introduction to all modules and architecture
-  - **Topics**: Framework overview, all modules, architecture, configuration
-  - **Difficulty**: Beginner
-  - **Time**: 30-45 minutes
-  - **Use Cases**: First-time users, understanding the framework structure
-
-### Alternative Approach: Orchestration Class
-
-For complex workflows, you can use the `` `Semantica` `` class for orchestration. This class coordinates multiple modules and provides lifecycle management.
-
-**When to use orchestration:**
-- Complex multi-step workflows spanning multiple modules
-- Need lifecycle management (initialization, shutdown)
-- Want centralized configuration
-- Building applications with multiple components
-
-!!! tip "Getting Started"
-    For beginners, start with individual modules to understand how each component works. As you build more complex applications, consider using the orchestration class for workflow management. See the [Core Module Reference](reference/core.md) for orchestration details.
-
-## ⚙️ Configuration
-
-Semantica modules can be configured individually or through environment variables. Configuration options vary by module, allowing you to customize behavior for your specific needs.
-
-### Environment Variables
-
-Common configuration via environment variables:
-
-```bash
-export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_key
-export EMBEDDING_MODEL=all-MiniLM-L6-v2
-export EMBEDDING_DEVICE=cuda
-```
-
-### Module-Specific Configuration
-
-Each module accepts configuration parameters when instantiated. For example, the NER extractor can be configured with different methods, providers, and thresholds.
-
-### Config File (`config.yaml`)
-
-For centralized configuration, you can use a YAML config file to manage settings across multiple modules:
-
-```yaml
-api_keys:
-  openai: your_key_here
-
-embedding:
-  provider: openai
-  model: text-embedding-3-large
-
-knowledge_graph:
-  backend: networkx
-  temporal: true
-```
-
-**For detailed configuration examples, see:**
-- **[Welcome to Semantica Cookbook](https://github.com/Hawksight-AI/semantica/blob/main/cookbook/introduction/01_Welcome_to_Semantica.ipynb)**: Configuration examples for all modules
-- **[Core Module Reference](reference/core.md)**: Complete configuration documentation
+**What this does:**
+- Extracts entities (people, organizations, dates) from text
+- Builds a knowledge graph from extracted entities
+- Outputs the number of entities found

-## 🎯 The Problem We Solve
+### ⚡ Get Started in 30 Seconds
 
-### The Semantic Gap
-
-Organizations today face a **fundamental mismatch** between how data exists and how AI systems need it.
-
-#### The Semantic Gap: Problem vs. Solution
-
-Organizations have **unstructured data** (PDFs, emails, logs), **messy data** (inconsistent formats, duplicates, conflicts), and **disconnected silos** (no shared context, missing relationships). AI systems need **clear rules** (formal ontologies), **structured entities** (validated, consistent), and **relationships** (semantic connections, context-aware reasoning).
-
-| **What Organizations Have** | **What AI Systems Require** |
-|:------------------------------|:------------------------------|
-| **Unstructured Data** | **Clear Rules** |
-| PDFs, emails, logs | Formal ontologies |
-| Mixed schemas | Graphs & Networks |
-| Conflicting facts | |
-| **Messy, Noisy Data** | **Structured Entities** |
-| Inconsistent formats | Validated entities |
-| Duplicate records | Domain Knowledge |
-| Missing relationships | |
-| **Disconnected, Siloed Data** | **Relationships** |
-| Data in separate systems | Semantic connections |
-| No shared context | Context-Aware Reasoning |
-| Isolated knowledge | |
-
-### What Happens Without Semantics?
-
-**They Break** — Systems crash due to inconsistent formats and missing structure.
-
-**They Hallucinate** — AI models generate false information without semantic context to validate outputs.
-
-**They Fail Silently** — Systems return wrong answers without warnings, leading to bad decisions.
-
-**Why?** Systems have data — not semantics. They can't connect concepts, understand relationships, validate against domain rules, or detect conflicts.
-
-### The Semantica Framework
-
-Semantica operates through three integrated layers that transform raw data into AI-ready knowledge:
-
-**Input Layer** — Universal ingestion from multiple data formats (PDFs, DOCX, HTML, JSON, CSV, databases, live feeds, APIs, streams, archives, multi-modal content) into a unified pipeline.
-
-**Semantic Layer** — Core intelligence engine performing entity extraction, relationship mapping, ontology generation, context engineering, and quality assurance. Includes **advanced entity deduplication** (Jaro-Winkler, disjoint property handling) to ensure a clean single source of truth.
-
-**Output Layer** — Production-ready knowledge graphs, vector embeddings, and validated ontologies that power GraphRAG systems, AI agents, and multi-agent systems.
-
-**Powers: GraphRAG, AI Agents, Multi-Agent Systems**

+## 🚨 The Problem: The Semantic Gap
 
-### 4. 📚 Ontology Generation & Management
+### Most AI systems fail in high-stakes domains because they operate on **text similarity**, not **meaning**.
 
-Generate formal ontologies automatically using a **6-stage LLM-based pipeline**:
+### Understanding the Semantic Gap
 
-1. **Semantic Network Parsing** → Extract domain concepts
-2. **YAML-to-Definition** → Transform into class definitions
-3. **Definition-to-Types** → Map to OWL types
-4. **Hierarchy Generation** → Build taxonomic structures
-5. **TTL Generation** → Generate OWL/Turtle syntax
-6. **Symbolic Validation** → HermiT/Pellet reasoning (F1 up to 0.99)
+The **semantic gap** is the fundamental disconnect between what AI systems can process (text patterns, vector similarities) and what high-stakes applications require (semantic understanding, meaning, context, and relationships).
 
-### 5. 🔍 Hybrid Search & Retrieval
+**Traditional AI approaches:**
+- Rely on statistical patterns and text similarity
+- Cannot understand relationships between entities
+- Cannot reason about domain-specific rules
+- Cannot explain why decisions were made
+- Cannot trace back to original sources with confidence
 
-Power GraphRAG applications with:
+**High-stakes AI requires:**
+- Semantic understanding of entities and their relationships
+- Domain knowledge encoded as formal rules (ontologies)
+- Explainable reasoning paths
+- Source-level provenance
+- Conflict detection and resolution
 
-- **Vector Search**: Semantic similarity using embeddings
-- **Graph Traversal**: Multi-hop reasoning for context expansion
-- **Hybrid Retrieval**: Combine vector + graph for improved accuracy
-- **Temporal Queries**: Query knowledge at specific time points
+**Semantica bridges this gap** by providing a semantic intelligence layer that transforms unstructured data into validated, explainable, and auditable knowledge.
+
+### What Organizations Have vs What They Need
+
+| **Current State** | **Required for High-Stakes AI** |
+|:---------------------|:-----------------------------------|
+| PDFs, DOCX, emails, logs | Formal domain rules (ontologies) |
+| APIs, databases, streams | Structured and validated entities |
+| Conflicting facts and duplicates | Explicit semantic relationships |
+| Siloed systems with no lineage | **Explainable reasoning paths** |
+| | **Source-level provenance** |
+| | **Audit-ready compliance** |
+
+### The Cost of Missing Semantics
+
+- **Decisions cannot be explained** — No transparency in AI reasoning
+- **Errors cannot be traced** — No way to debug or improve
+- **Conflicts go undetected** — Contradictory information causes failures
+- **Compliance becomes impossible** — No audit trails for regulations
+
+**Trustworthy AI requires semantic accountability.**

+# Snowflake Integration
+
+Semantica features a native integration with **Snowflake**, the powerful cloud data warehouse that enables scalable data storage and analytics for enterprise workloads.
+
+## Overview
+
+Snowflake is integrated into Semantica's `ingest` module via the `SnowflakeIngestor`. This allows you to seamlessly extract structured data from Snowflake tables and queries into semantic structures that can be indexed, searched, and analyzed within the Semantica framework.
+
+- 📖 **Semantica Snowflake Integration Docs**: [Reference Guide](../reference/ingest.md)
+- 💻 **Semantica Snowflake Integration GitHub**: [Source Code](https://github.com/Hawksight-AI/semantica/blob/main/semantica/ingest/snowflake_ingestor.py)
+- 🧑🏽‍🍳 **Semantica Snowflake Integration Example**: [Snowflake Clear Code Example](../CodeExamples.md#snowflake-clear-code-example)
+- 📦 **Semantica Snowflake Integration PyPI**: [Installation Guide](../installation.md)
+
+---
+
+## 📖 Integration Documentation
+
+The `SnowflakeIngestor` provides a high-level interface for Snowflake data ingestion. It supports:
+
+*   **Multiple Authentication Methods**: Password, key-pair, OAuth, and SSO authentication.
+*   **Advanced Querying**: Custom SQL queries with parameterization and batching.
+*   **Schema Introspection**: Automatic table schema discovery and metadata extraction.
+*   **Document Export**: Convert Snowflake data to Semantica document format.
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```python
+from semantica.ingest import SnowflakeIngestor
+
+# Initialize with environment variables
+ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor()
+
+# Ingest a table
+data = ingestor.ingest_table("CUSTOMERS")
+
+# Access the structured data
+print(f"Retrieved {data.row_count} rows")
+print(f"Columns: {data.columns}")
+```
+
+For more details, see the [Ingest Reference](../reference/ingest.md).
+
+---
+
+## 🧑🏽‍🍳 Integration Example
+
+We provide a detailed cookbook and clear code examples to help you get started quickly.
+
+### Snowflake Clear Code Example
+
+```python
+from semantica.ingest import SnowflakeIngestor
+import os
+from dotenv import load_dotenv
+
+# 1. Load environment variables
+load_dotenv()
+
+# 2. Initialize the Snowflake Ingestor
+ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
+    account=os.getenv("SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT"),
+    user=os.getenv("SNOWFLAKE_USER"),
+    password=os.getenv("SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD"),
+    warehouse=os.getenv("SNOWFLAKE_WAREHOUSE"),
+    database=os.getenv("SNOWFLAKE_DATABASE"),
+    schema=os.getenv("SNOWFLAKE_SCHEMA")
+)
+
+# 3. Ingest a table with filters
+data = ingestor.ingest_table(
+    "CUSTOMERS",
+    where="COUNTRY = 'USA' AND CREATED_DATE > '2024-01-01'",
+    order_by="CREATED_DATE DESC",
+    limit=10000
+)
+
+# 4. Access the structured data
+print(f"--- Customer Data ---")
+print(f"Retrieved {data.row_count} customers")
+print(f"Columns: {data.columns}")
+
+# 5. Iterate through rows
+for row in data.data[:5]:  # Print first 5 rows
+    print(f"Customer: {row['NAME']} ({row['EMAIL']})")
+
+# 6. Export as documents for Semantica processing
+documents = ingestor.export_as_documents(
+    data,
+    id_field="CUSTOMER_ID",
+    text_fields=["NAME", "EMAIL", "NOTES"]
+)
+
+print(f"Created {len(documents)} documents for processing")
+```
+
+See more in our [Code Examples](../CodeExamples.md).

+
+## 📦 PyPI & Installation
+
+Snowflake connector is an optional dependency for Semantica. You can install it along with Semantica or as a separate requirement.
+
+### Install via Semantica
+```bash
+# Install with Snowflake support
+pip install semantica[db-snowflake]
+
+# Or install with all database connectors
+pip install semantica[db-all]
+```
+
+### Install Snowflake connector manually
+If you are working in a custom environment:
+```bash
+pip install snowflake-connector-python
+```
+
+For full installation details, see the [Installation Guide](../installation.md).
+
+---
+
+## 🔐 Authentication Methods
+
+Snowflake integration supports multiple authentication methods for different security requirements:
+
+### Password Authentication
+```python
+ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
+    account="myaccount",
+    user="myuser",
+    password="mypassword",
+    warehouse="COMPUTE_WH"
+)
+```
+
+### Key-Pair Authentication (Recommended for Production)
+```python
+ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
+    account="myaccount",
+    user="myuser",
+    private_key_path="/path/to/rsa_key.p8",
+    warehouse="COMPUTE_WH"
+)
+```
+
+### OAuth Authentication
+```python
+ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
+    account="myaccount",
+    user="myuser",
+    authenticator="oauth",
+    token="your_oauth_token",
+    warehouse="COMPUTE_WH"
+)
+```
+
+### SSO Authentication
+```python
+ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
+    account="myaccount",
+    user="myuser",
+    authenticator="externalbrowser",
+    warehouse="COMPUTE_WH"
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Advanced Features
+
+### Schema Introspection
+```python
+# Get table schema
+schema = ingestor.get_table_schema("CUSTOMERS")
+for column in schema["columns"]:
+    print(f"{column['name']}: {column['type']}")
+```
+
+### Custom Queries
+```python
+# Execute custom SQL
+data = ingestor.ingest_query("""
+    SELECT 
+        CUSTOMER_ID,
+        SUM(AMOUNT) AS TOTAL_AMOUNT
+    FROM SALES
+    WHERE DATE >= '2024-01-01'
+    GROUP BY CUSTOMER_ID
+""")
+```
+
+### Batch Processing
+```python
+# Handle large result sets
+data = ingestor.ingest_query(
+    "SELECT * FROM LARGE_TABLE",
+    batch_size=5000
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Best Practices
+
+### Use Environment Variables
+```python
+import os
+from dotenv import load_dotenv
+
+load_dotenv()
+ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor()  # Reads from environment
+```
+
+### Use Key-Pair Authentication for Production
+```python
+ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
+    account=os.getenv("SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT"),
+    user=os.getenv("SNOWFLAKE_USER"),
+    private_key_path=os.getenv("SNOWFLAKE_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH"),
+    warehouse="COMPUTE_WH"
+)
+```
+
+### Paginate Large Results
+```python
+PAGE_SIZE = 10000
+for page in range(total_pages):
+    data = ingestor.ingest_table(
+        "LARGE_TABLE",
+        limit=PAGE_SIZE,
+        offset=page * PAGE_SIZE
+    )
+    process_batch(data)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔍 Troubleshooting
+
+### Connection Issues
+```python
+# Test connection
+connector = SnowflakeConnector(
+    account="myaccount",
+    user="myuser",
+    password="mypassword"
+)
+
+if not connector.test_connection():
+    print("Connection failed - check credentials")
+```
+
+### Performance Optimization
+```python
+# Use appropriate warehouse size
+ingestor = SnowflakeIngestor(
+    account="myaccount",
+    user="myuser",
+    password="mypassword",
+    warehouse="LARGE_WH"  # For heavy workloads
+)
+```
