Cornerstone compare file in wrong line - cornerstone

I check the file change in the cornerstone 3(version 3.0.1(22,575))
It seems the basic function of compare file with ridiculous result. I got the right result when use the Kaleidoscope instead.
How can I fix the internal file compare tools ?
Is it a really difficult science for the software to deal with ?
Cornerstone 3 compare result
Kaleidoscaope compare result

How to convert model.tflite to model.cc and model.h on Windows 10

I have created a TensorFlow Lite .tflite model which I plan to use on a microcontroller. However, this file must be converted to a C source file, i.e, a TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers model. TensorFlow documentation provides a simple way to convert to a C array with the unix command xxd. I am using Windows 10 and do not have access to the unix command and there are no alternative Windows methods documented. After searching superuser, I saw that xxd for Windows now exists. I downloaded the command and ran it on my .tflite model. The results were different than the hello world example.
First, the hello world example model.h file has a comment that say it was "Automatically created from a TensorFlow Lite flatbuffer using the command: xxd -i model.tflite > model.cc" When I ran the command, model.h was not "automatically created".
Second, comparing the model.cc file from the hello world example, with the model.cc file that I generated, they are quite different and I'm not sure how to interpret this (I'm not referring to the differences in the actual array). Again, in the example model.cc file, it states that it was "automatically created" using the xxd command. Line 28 in the example is alignas(8) const unsigned char g_model[] = { and line 237 is const int g_model_len = 2488;. In comparison, the equivalent lines in the file I generated are unsigned char _________g_model[] = { and unsigned int _________g_model_len = 4009981;
While I am not a C expert, I am not sure how to interpret the differences in the files and if I have generated the model.cc file incorrectly. I would greatly appreciate any insight or guidance here on how to properly generate both the model.h and model.cc files from the original model.tflite file.
After doing some experiments, I think this is why you are getting differences:
xxd replaces any non-letter/non-digit character of the path to the input file by an underscore ('_'). Apparently you called xxd with a path for the input file that has 9 such leading characters, perhaps something like "../../../g.model". The syntax of C allows only letters (a to z, A to Z), digits (0 to 9) and underscore as characters of objects' names, and the names need to start with a non-digit. This is the only "manipulation" xxd does to the name of an input file.
Since xxd knows nothing about TensorFlow, it could not had generated the copyright notice. Using this as indication, any other difference had been inserted by other means by the TensorFlow authors, despite the statement "Automatically created from a TensorFlow Lite flatbuffer ...". This could be done manually or by a script, unfortunately I did not find any hint in some quick research on their repository. Apparently the statement means just the data values.
So you need to edit your result:
Add any comment you see fit.
Add the compiler-specific alignas(8) to the array, if your compiler supports it.
Add the keywords const to the array and the length variable. This will tell the compiler to prohibit any write access. And probably this will place the data in read-only memory.
Rename array and length variables to g_model and g_model_len, respectively. Most probably TensorFlow expects these names.
Copy "model.cc" into "model.h", and then apply more editions, as the example demonstrated.
Don't be bothered by different values. Different contents of the model's file are the reason. It's especially simple to check the length variable, it has to have exactly the same value as the size of the input file.
EDIT:
On line 28 which is this text alignas(8) const unsigned char as shown in the example converted model. When I attempt to convert a model (whether it's my custom model or the "hello_world.tflite" example model) the text that would be on line 28 is unsigned char (any other text on that line is not in question). How is line 28 edited & explained?
Concerning the "how": I firmly believe that the authors of TensorFlow literally used an editor (an IDE or a stand-alone program like Notepad++ or Geany) and edited the line, or used some script to automate this.
The reason for alignas(8) is most probably that TensorFlow expects the data with an alignment of 8 bytes, for example because it casts the byte array to a structure that contains values of 8 bytes width.
The insertion of const will also commonly locate the model in read-only memory, which is preferable on most microcontrollers. If it were left out, the model's data were not only writable, but would be located in precious RAM.
On line 237, the text specifically is const int. When I attempt to convert a model (whether it's my custom model or the "hello_world.tflite" example model) the text that would be on line 237 is unsigned int (any other text on that line is not in question). Why are these two lines different in these specific places? It makes me believe that xxd on Windows is not functioning the same?
Again, I firmly believe this was edited manually or by a script. TensorFlow might expect this variable to be of data type int, but any xxd I tried (Windows and Linux) generates unsigned int. I don't think that your specific version of xxd functions differently on Windows.
For const the same thoughts apply as above.
Finally, when I attempt to convert the example model "hello_world.tflite" file using the xxd for windows utility, my resulting array doesn't match the example "hello_world.cc" file. I would expect the array values to be identical if the xxd worked. The last question is how to generate the "model.h" and "model.cc" files on Windows.
Did you note that the model you link is in another branch of the repository?
If I use the branch on GitHub as in your link to "hello_world.cc", I find in "../train/README.md" this archive hello_world_2020_12_28.zip. I unpacked it and ran xxd on the included "model.tflite". The result's data match the included "model.cc" in the archive. But it does not match the data of "hello_world.cc" in the same branch that you linked. The difference is already there.
My conclusion is, that the example result was not generated from the example model. This happens, since developers sometimes don't pay enough attention on what they commit. Yes, it's unfortunate, as it irritates and frustrates beginners like you.
But, as I wrote, don't let this make you headaches. Try the simple example, use the documentation as instructions on the process. Look at the differences in specific data as a quirk. You will encounter such things time after time when working with other's projects. It is quite normal.

Executing functions stored in a string

Lets say that there is a function in my Delphi app:
MsgBox
and there is a string which has MsgBox in it.
I know what most of you are going to say is that its possible, but I think it is possible because I opened the compiled exe(compiled using delphi XE2) using a Resource Editor, and that resource editor was built for Delphi. In that, I could see most of the code I wrote, as I wrote it. So since the variables names, function names etc aren't changed during compile, there should a way to execute the functions from a string, but how? Any help will be appreciated.
EDIT:
What I want to do is to create a simple interpreter/scripting engine. And this is how its supposed to work:
There are two files, scr.txt and arg.txt
scr.txt contains:
msg_show
0
arg.txt contains:
"Message"
And now let me explain what that 0 is:
First, scr.txt's first line is function name
second line tells that at which line its arguments are in the arg.txt, i.e 0 tells that "Message" is the argument for msg_show.
I hope my question is now clear.
I want to make a simple scripting engine.
In order to execute arbitrary code stored as text, you need a compiler or an interpreter. Either you need to write one yourself, or embed one that already exists. Realistically, the latter option is your best option. There are a number available but in my view it's hard to look past dwscript.
I think I've already solved my problem! The answer is in this question's first answer.
EDIT:
But with that, as for a workaround of the problem mentioned in first comment, I have a very easy solution.
You don't need to pass all the arguments/parameters to it. Just take my example:
You have two files, as mentioned in the question. Now you need to execute the files. It is as simple as that:
read the first line of scr.txt
check if it's a function. If not, skip the line
If yes, read the next line which tells the index where it's arguments are in arg.txt
pass on the index(an integer) to the "Call" function.
Now to the function which has to be executed, it should know how many arguments it needs. i.e 2
Lets say that the function is "Sum(a,b : integer)".It needs 2 arguments
Now let the function read the two arguments from arg.txt.
And its done!
I hope it will help you all.
And I can get some rep :)

What does "SEM1:3ENCE_B:NW:NG102:EECT300:120:0900:2" mean?

In my project I am developing teachers and their timetable. I was provided with a text file that contains the teacher timetable from my uni.

It's not code, it's data. And the best way of interpreting it is to compare this representation with another : Think Rosetta Stone.
Obviously, colon is used to separate the fields, and each line probably represents a single tinmetable item. Each line appears to have 8 fields on it.
One field looks like a course ID : EECT300
Another looks like a time : 0900
As for the rest, you'll have to work it out...
University of Westminster, maybe...?
It is not a code language.
It is just a plain text file which contains data using colons : as a separator
I guess you have to parse it and retrieve the information for each column. You have to be aware of the signification of each column (if no ask to your uni)

R - extract number from string

I used max(list.files(path, "my_files_v")) to read in the latest my_files_v version.
The directory had files of:
my_files_v1, my_files_v2, ... my_files_v9
My code seemed to work perfectly fine as the script read in always the my_file_v with the highest version until I came to version _v10. From that point onwards max(list.files(..)) always detected _v9 as the max and therefore skipped _v10 and _v11 etc.
One solution would be to extract the version number from the string using substr or something like that but is there a better way of doing that? If not, does anyone know how to extract that pattern from a string as I am very poor regarding that
You could use:
max(as.integer(gsub('my_files_v', '', list.files(path, "my_files_v")))
assuming your files do not have extensions like you've shown. However, so they sort properly in my file browsers, I usually name files with zero padding. In R you can do that with sprintf:
sprintf('%03d', 1:10)
For what its worth, to extract the number portion of the file name you can use regular expressions and grouping:
gsub('my_files_v([0-9]+)\\.Rdata', '\\1', list.files(path, 'my_files_v'))

sas generate all possible miss spelling

Does any one know how to generate the possible misspelling ?
Example : unemployment
- uemployment
- onemploymnet
-- etc.
If you just want to generate a list of possible misspellings, you might try a tool like this one. Otherwise, in SAS you might be able to use a function like COMPGED to compute a measure of the similarity between the string someone entered, and the one you wanted them to type. If the two are "close enough" by your standard, replace their text with the one you wanted.
Here is an example that computes the Generalized Edit Distance between "unemployment" and a variety of plausible mispellings.
data misspell;
input misspell $16.;
length misspell string $16.;
retain string "unemployment";
GED=compged(misspell, string,'iL');
datalines;
nemployment
uemployment
unmployment
uneployment
unemloyment
unempoyment
unemplyment
unemploment
unemployent
unemploymnt
unemploymet
unemploymen
unemploymenyt
unemploymenty
unemploymenht
unemploymenth
unemploymengt
unemploymentg
unemploymenft
unemploymentf
blahblah
;
proc print data=misspell label;
label GED='Generalized Edit Distance';
var misspell string GED;
run;
Essentially you are trying to develop a list of text strings based on some rule of thumb, such as one letter is missing from the word, that a letter is misplaced into the wrong spot, that one letter was mistyped, etc. The problem is that these rules have to be explicitly defined before you can write the code, in SAS or any other language (this is what Chris was referring to). If your requirement is reduced to this one-wrong-letter scenario then this might be managable; otherwise, the commenters are correct and you can easily create massive lists of incorrect spellings (after all, all combinations except "unemployment" constitute a misspelling of that word).
Having said that, there are many ways in SAS to accomplish this text manipulation (rx functions, some combination of other text-string functions, macros); however, there are probably better ways to accomplish this. I would suggest an external Perl process to generate a text file that can be read into SAS, but other programmers might have better alternatives.
If you are looking for a general spell checker, SAS does have proc spell.
It will take some tweaking to get it working for your situation; it's very old and clunky. It doesn't work well in this case, but you may have better results if you try and use another dictionary? A Google search will show other examples.
filename name temp lrecl=256;
options caps;
data _null_;
file name;
informat name $256.;
input name &;
put name;
cards;
uemployment
onemploymnet
;
proc spell in=name
dictionary=SASHELP.BASE.NAMES
suggest;
run;
options nocaps;
