TempBench — Temporal KG Indexer
===================================
Implements the dual-index structure (entity index + interval tree temporal index)
described in the TempBench paper.
Usage:
from indexer import TemporalKGIndexer
indexer = TemporalKGIndexer()
indexer.load_tkgl_smallpedia("path/to/tkgl-smallpedia.csv")
# or from a list of quadruples:
indexer.build(quadruples)
# Query: all triples valid at a given timestamp
valid_triples = indexer.query_valid_at(entity="Q1234", t=2015.5)
# Query: temporally-filtered 1-hop neighbourhood for an anchor entity
neighbourhood = indexer.neighbourhood(entity="Q1234", t_query=2015.5)
