choregraph 1.4.2

Data processing engine for the NVEIL Toolkit. Install via: pip install nveil

Choregraph

The pure-Python data-processing engine behind NVEIL — usable on its own.

---

Choregraph turns declarative pipeline specifications into executable Kedro data pipelines. It is the data-processing engine inside the NVEIL platform — and a standalone library you can use on its own: wire inputs and transforms in Python (or portable XML), run them locally, and get DataFrames back. No NVEIL server required.

Install

pip install choregraph

Optional extras:

pip install "choregraph[extra]"    # geo (geopandas), NLP, scikit-learn, Pillow, …
pip install "choregraph[dicom]"    # DICOM medical imaging

Quick start

from choregraph import Choregraph
from choregraph.parser import InputPortSpec

cg = Choregraph(workspace_path="./my_project")
cg.add_input(id="population", location="data/population.csv", format="CSV")

cg.add_node(
    id="large",
    type="filter_greater_than",
    input_ports=[
        InputPortSpec(name="df", source_ref="population"),
        InputPortSpec(name="column", value="population"),
        InputPortSpec(name="value", value="1000000"),
    ],
)

cg.run()
df = cg.get_dataset("large_result")

Pipelines are portable — save and reload them as XML:

cg.export_to_xml("pipeline.xml")

with Choregraph(xml_spec="pipeline.xml") as cg:
    cg.run()
    df = cg.get_dataset("large_result")

What's inside

• Declarative pipelines — define inputs, transforms, and outputs in Python or portable XML, executed as Kedro pipelines.
• 50+ transforms — filtering, aggregation, joins, pivots, normalization, discretization, row/column operations, …
• Geo — geocode location names to coordinates; join country-boundary polygons for map visualizations.
• NLP — multi-label binarization with automatic language detection, lemmatization, and fuzzy matching.
• Excel intelligence — LLM-assisted detection and tidying of messy multi-table spreadsheets.
• Biosignals — EDF/EDF+ ingestion (EEG, ECG, polysomnography, …).

Part of NVEIL

Choregraph is one of the open-source engines of the NVEIL platform. Most people reach it through the NVEIL Toolkit (pip install nveil) or the platform itself — but Choregraph stands on its own for anyone who wants a programmable, XML-portable data-processing engine. Its results feed the NVEIL platform's visualization engine.
