The Backbase Local Application Development Environment (Blade) is a convenience plugin to run WAR files in an embedded Tomcat container. It's specifically tailored to run multiple web applications in a single Tomcat where the startup order is important. All dependencies of type WAR are automatically deployed inside Tomcat. The artifactId of each dependency is used as context path.

The AppOptics Java agent provides an instrumentation SDK for AWS Lambda as the appoptics-aws-lambda Maven artifact, which provides a convenience wrapper to trace functions, wrappers to trace the operation and propagate the trace context in Apache Http clients, and OpenTelemetry-compatible SDK to create custom spans for additional insight. In addition, appoptics-aws-lambda supports code profiling when the function is configured with enough memory/CPU.

This module contains some wrappers to make usage of the TCSAlignmentToolbox easier. Most important for beginners is the StringEditDistance, which provides convenience functions for simple string comparisons. For sequences of vectors we provide the VectorialSequences wrapper. The RandomSequenceGenerator enables you to generate random multi-modal sequences for testing purposes.

StaxMate is a light-weight framework that adds convenience to streaming XML-processing without significant additional overhead. It builds on top of a Stax (JSR-173) compliant XML processors such as Woodstox or Sjsxp (default Stax implementation of JDK 1.6) and offers two basic abstractions: Cursors, which build on XMLStreamReaders and Output objects, which build on XMLStreamWriters.

Voyager is a library for performing fast approximate nearest-neighbor searches on an in-memory collection of vectors. Voyager features bindings to both Python and Java, with feature parity and index compatibility between both languages. It uses the HNSW algorithm, based on the open-source hnswlib package, with numerous features added for convenience and speed. Voyager is used extensively in production at Spotify, and is queried hundreds of millions of times per day to power numerous user-facing features.

JavaUtil is a utility library to speed the development of Java software. We developed it over multiple years during our internal development efforts, and it has reached a point of stability where we have decided to make it available to the outside world. The JavaUtil package aims to fill in the gaps of the Apache Commons and similar utility libraries out there. Features include convenience classes for string, collections, arrays, dates, iterators, colors, logging, unit testing, a little bit of basic statistics, database queries, caching and more.

This module defines the interfaces for Comparators in the TCS Alignment Toolbox. A Comparator has the purpose of defining the dissimilarity between elements in the input sequences of an Alignment. More specific information on Comparators can be found in the 'Comparator' interface. You can find a lot of helpful standard implementations of Comparators in the comparators-lib module. In the TCS Alignment Toolbox we require the output values of Comparators to lie in the range [0,1]. Many natural dissimilarities on value sets do not meet this criterion, such that additional normalization has to be applied. To that end this package also contains a Normalizer interface for functions that map real values from the range [0, infinity) to the range [0,1]. This package also provides a few convenience implementations of the Comparator interface to make the implementation of custom Comparators simpler, namely: SkipExtendedComparator, ParameterLessSkipExtendedComparator, ComparisonBasedSkipExtendedComparator, and ParameterLessComparisonBasedSkipExtendedComparator. Finally the TCS Alignment Toolbox also provides the means to learn parameters of Comparators. To enable that Comparators must implement the DerivableComparator interface to properly define the parameters that can be learned and the gradient of the dissimilarity with respect to these parameters. Gradients are stored using the Gradient interface as well as some convenience implementations of said interface, namely EmptyGradient, SingletonGradient, ArrayGradient and ListGradient.
