Progressive Semantic Match
=========================

.. automodule:: src.actions.entities.metabolites.matching.progressive_semantic_match

Overview
--------

The ``PROGRESSIVE_SEMANTIC_MATCH`` action orchestrates a comprehensive 4-stage metabolite matching pipeline that progressively applies different matching strategies to achieve maximum coverage. This is the primary action for metabolomics identifier harmonization in the biomapper framework.

The progressive approach starts with high-confidence exact matches and gradually relaxes criteria to capture more difficult cases, achieving typical coverage rates of 75-80% for well-curated metabolomics datasets.

- **Confidence Scoring**: Weights matches based on stage reliability
- **Consensus Building**: Resolves conflicts using multiple signals

Quality Metrics Tracking
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Monitors pipeline health and performance:

- **Coverage Progression**: Tracks cumulative coverage by stage
- **Confidence Distribution**: Analyzes confidence score distributions
- **Error Rate Analysis**: Identifies systematic matching failures
- **Performance Benchmarks**: Compares against expected baselines

       "low_confidence": 50,
       "flagged_for_review": 23
     }
   }

Advanced Configuration
----------------------

Threshold Optimization
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fine-tune thresholds based on dataset characteristics:

.. code-block:: yaml

   # Conservative profile (high precision)
   conservative_config:
     stage1_threshold: 0.98
     stage2_threshold: 0.85
     stage4_threshold: 0.80
     
   # Aggressive profile (high recall)
   aggressive_config:
     stage1_threshold: 0.92
     stage2_threshold: 0.75
     stage4_threshold: 0.70
     
   # Balanced profile (recommended)
   balanced_config:
     stage1_threshold: 0.95
     stage2_threshold: 0.80
     stage4_threshold: 0.75

Performance Optimization
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For large datasets (>10K metabolites):

.. code-block:: yaml

   performance_config:
     enable_parallel_stages: true
     stage2_chunk_size: 2000
     stage3_batch_size: 100
     stage4_batch_size: 500
     cache_intermediate_results: true

Custom Stage Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Override individual stage parameters:

.. code-block:: yaml

   custom_stage_config:
     stage1_params:
       reference_source: "custom_metabolite_db"
       normalization_rules: ["remove_stereochemistry"]
     stage2_params:
       algorithm: "jaro_winkler"
       biological_synonyms: true
     stage3_params:
       target_databases: ["hmdb", "kegg", "chebi", "pubchem"]
       concurrent_requests: 3
     stage4_params:
       use_llm_validation: true
       embedding_cache: true

Error Handling and Recovery
---------------------------

Stage-Level Error Recovery
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Each stage includes independent error handling:

- **Stage Isolation**: Failure in one stage doesn't affect others
- **Partial Results**: Successfully completed stages preserve their matches
- **Error Reporting**: Detailed logs for debugging stage-specific issues
- **Graceful Degradation**: Pipeline continues with reduced functionality

Common Recovery Patterns
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: yaml

   error_handling:
     stage1_fallback: "skip_to_stage2"
     stage2_timeout_action: "reduce_batch_size"  
     stage3_api_failure: "retry_with_exponential_backoff"
     stage4_memory_error: "process_in_smaller_chunks"

Monitoring and Alerting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Built-in monitoring for production deployments:

- **Progress Tracking**: Real-time progress updates for long-running pipelines
- **Performance Alerts**: Notifications when stages exceed expected runtimes
- **Quality Alerts**: Warnings when coverage drops below baselines
- **Resource Monitoring**: Memory and API quota usage tracking

Real-World Case Studies
-----------------------

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**Dataset**: 1,351 unique metabolites from personalized medicine platform
**Result**: 77.9% coverage (1,053 matched metabolites)
**Processing Time**: 2 minutes 34 seconds
**Stage Performance**:
- Stage 1: 692 matches (51.2%)
- Stage 2: 201 additional (14.9%) 
- Stage 3: 105 additional (7.8%)

     - name: compare_coverage
       action:
         type: CALCULATE_SET_OVERLAP
         params:
           dataset1_key: matched_a
           dataset2_key: matched_b

Troubleshooting
---------------

Low Overall Coverage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. **Check Input Data Quality**: Verify metabolite names are clean and standardized
2. **Adjust Thresholds**: Lower thresholds to increase recall
3. **Enable All Stages**: Ensure no stages are being skipped
4. **Review Reference Data**: Confirm reference databases are current

Stage-Specific Issues
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- **Stage 1 Low Coverage**: Check reference data alignment and normalization
- **Stage 2 Timeouts**: Reduce batch sizes or enable chunking  
- **Stage 3 API Failures**: Verify API credentials and network connectivity
- **Stage 4 Performance**: Ensure vector database is properly indexed

Performance Problems
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. **Memory Issues**: Enable chunked processing for large datasets
2. **API Timeouts**: Increase timeout values and reduce batch sizes
3. **Slow Processing**: Enable parallel processing where supported
4. **Resource Limits**: Monitor CPU and memory usage during execution
