Each cluster represents one publication, abstracted +from its concrete representation as a link to a PDF. + +We call the abstract publication +[work](https://guide.fatcat.wiki/entity_work.html) and the concrete instance a +[release](https://guide.fatcat.wiki/entity_release.html). One goal is to group +releases under works and to implement a versions feature (self-match). Another +goal is to have support for matching of external lists (e.g. title lists or +other document) to the existing records. + +This repository contains both generic code for matching as well as fatcat +specific code using the fatcat openapi client. + +## Running and Deployment + +We defer more packaging polish until the code stabilizes a bit more. For now: + +``` +$ git clone git@github.com:miku/fuzzycat.git && cd fuzzycat +$ pipenv install --deploy +$ pipenv run python -m fuzzycat.main +``` + +For the future, an independent [pex](https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex) or +[shiv](https://github.com/linkedin/shiv) executable would be a convenient +option to allow execution from any directory. + +## Datasets + +A few relevant datasets are: + +* release and container metadata from a bulk fatcat export, e.g. + [https://archive.org/details/fatcat_bulk_exports_2020-08-05](https://archive.org/details/fatcat_bulk_exports_2020-08-05) +* issn journal level data, via [issnlister](https://github.com/miku/issnlister) +* journal abbreviation lists + +## Matching approaches + + + +## Performance data points + +### Against elasticsearch + +Candidate generation via elasticsearch, 40 parallel queries, sustained speed at +about 17857 queries per hour, that is around 5 queries/s. + +``` +$ time cat ~/data/researchgate/x04 | \ + parallel -j40 --pipe -N 1 ./fatcatx_rg_unmatched.py - \ + > ~/data/researchgate/x04_results.ndj +... +real 3409m16.442s +user 29177m5.516s +sys 4927m3.277s +``` + +### Without a search index + +Candidate grouping for self-match can be done locally by extracting a key per +document, then a group by (via sort and uniq).
