Description:

pprlclient 0.3.0

This package contains a small HTTP-based library for working with the server provided by
the PPRL service package.
It also contains a command-line application which uses the library to process CSV files.
Weight estimation requires additional packages which are not shipped by default.
To add them, install this package using any of the following commands as desired.
$ pip install pprl_client[faker]
$ pip install pprl_client[gecko]
$ pip install pprl_client[all]

Library methods
The library exposes functions for entity pre-processing, masking and bit vector matching.
They follow the data model that is also used by the PPRL service, which is exposed through
the PPRL model package.
In addition to the request objects, each function accepts a base URL, a full URL and a connection timeout in seconds as
optional parameters.
By default, the base URL is set to http://localhost:8000.
The full URL, if set, takes precedence over the base URL.
The connection timeout is set to 10 seconds by default, but should be increased for large-scale requests.

Command line interface
The pprl command exposes all the library's functions and adapts them to work with CSV files.
Running pprl --help provides an overview of the command options.
$ pprl --help
Usage: pprl [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

HTTP client for performing PPRL based on Bloom filters.

Options:
--base-url TEXT base URL to HTTP-based PPRL service
-b, --batch-size INTEGER RANGE amount of bit vectors to match at a time [x>=1]
--timeout-secs INTEGER RANGE seconds until a request times out [x>=1]
--delimiter TEXT column delimiter for CSV files
--encoding TEXT character encoding for files
--help Show this message and exit.

Commands:
estimate Estimate attribute weights based on randomly generated data.
mask Mask a CSV file with entities.
match Match bit vectors from CSV files against each other.
transform Perform pre-processing on a CSV file with entities

The pprl command works on two basic types of CSV files that follow a simple structure.
Entity files are CSV files that contain a column with a unique identifier and arbitrary additional columns which
contain values for certain attributes that identify an entity.
Each row is representative of a single entity.
id,first_name,last_name,date_of_birth,gender

002,Eric,Lynch,1910-01-11,female
003,Pam,Vaughn,1983-10-05,male
004,David,Jackson,2006-01-27,male
005,Rachel,Dyer,1904-02-02,female

Bit vector files contain an ID column and a value column which contains a representative bit vector.
These bit vectors are generally generated by masking a record from an entity file.

Pre-processing is done with the pprl transform command.
It requires a base transform request file, an entity file and an output file to write the pre-processed entities to.
Attribute and global transformer configurations can be provided, but at least one must be specified.
In this example, a global normalization transformer which is executed before all other attribute-specific transformers
is defined.
Date time reformatting is applied to the "date of birth" column in the input file.

Masking is done with pprl mask and its subcommands.
It requires a base mask request file, an entity file and an output file to write the masked entities to.

Matching is done with the pprl match command.
It allows the matching of multiple bit vector input files at once.
If more than two files are provided, the command will pick out pairs of files and matches their contents against one
another.
In this example, the bit vectors of two files are matched against each other.
The Jaccard index is used as a similarity measure and a match threshold of 70% is applied.

"config": {
"measure": "jaccard",
"threshold": 0.7

Weight estimation is done with the pprl estimate command.
It generates random data based off of user specification and computes estimates for attribute weights.
Data can be generated using Faker and Gecko.
These are exposed through the faker and gecko subcommands respectively.
Both subcommands require a file that tell Faker and Gecko how to generate data, as well as a path to a file to write
results to.
Refer to the example files in the test asset directory.
