# ⚡ Normalized ConceptNet Explorer (V7)

This application is a high-performance explorer for a normalized, filtered, and optimized version of the ConceptNet 5.5 knowledge graph.

It is designed to be **extremely fast**, returning queries in milliseconds instead of minutes. It queries a 1.78 GB optimized SQLite database with integer-based joins, not the 23.6 GB un-normalized file.

## Features

This app provides a full suite of tools to explore the normalized database:

- **⚡ Semantic Profile**: Explore relations for any word in real-time. This now runs in ~4 fast SQL queries instead of 24+ slow ones.
- **⚡ Query Builder**: Build custom queries (start node, relation, end node) that are executed with fast, integer-based joins.
- **⚡ Raw SQL**: Execute SQL queries directly against the new, normalized database schema (see schema below).
- **⚡ Schema**: Browse the new, efficient database schema, including all tables, indexes, and row counts.

## How It Works: The Normalized Database

This app's speed and correctness come from the new database it queries: [cstr/conceptnet-normalized-multi](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cstr/conceptnet-normalized-multi).

This database was created by a V7 normalization script that fixed critical issues found in the original data:

1. **Normalization (Speed & Size)**: The original 23.6 GB `edge` table (34M rows) was bloated with text URLs. The new 1.78 GB `edge_norm` table replaces these with tiny integer foreign keys.

2. **Data Correctness (V7 Fix)**: The original `node` table (28M rows) was used as the source of truth. We migrated all 28M nodes and their authoritative `language` columns.

3. **Preserves Cross-Language Links**: The 34M edges were filtered to keep any edge where at least one node (start or end) was in our 11 target languages (`en`, `de`, `fr`, `it`, `es`, `ar`, `fa`, `grc`, `he`, `la`, `hbo`). This is critical, as it correctly preserves cross-language connections (e.g., `犬 (ja) -> hund (de)`), which were broken in previous attempts.

The result is a clean, fast, and data-correct database that contains all relevant connections for our target languages.

## Supported Languages

This normalized version includes edges for 11 languages:
- English (en)
- German (de)
- French (fr)
- Italian (it)
- Spanish (es)
- Arabic (ar)
- Persian (fa)
- Ancient Greek (grc)
- Hebrew (he)
- Latin (la)
- Biblical Hebrew (hbo)

Cross-language connections from other languages to these target languages are preserved.
