List of Patterns 🎇 'Pattern-Collector'

The 'awesome List' of Patterns *(the only repo of it's kind)
Please edit this draft wildy 🎉: Spreadsheet / Readme ) Please don't hesitate to add sublists for specific scientific fields such as DNA
Exploration: Patterns make bite-sized tools🍒🍟 ( Searching such list (,once well populated,) you will already have mentally defined the specific, regular scope of your goal (the task of identifying specific data / matches). That can be more efficient / versatile than searching Stack Overflow Answers or node.js NPM's. Yet each regex could also he an NPM or module/package in any language.

1. Regular Expressions(=Search Patterns=Data format definitions.)

Regex are most common & most efficient to type. (Despite they are one of the oldest dicsiplines in programming to make sense of data, convert it, clean it or spell-check it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression)
Regex are versatile, because they work in most languages and editors and many apps.

Common Data Formats²	match	replacement	comment/justify	extra³_

1.1 Automatic pattern generation / AI

Currently little of this is automated. Solutions such as Microsoft Power Automate for Desktop (Windows 11) want to change some of it.

1.2 Pre-processing Patterns

A raw text / data source material - or a list or category of patterns - can sometimes be analyzed for similarities and thus be combined in one preprocessing step. i.e. Preprocessing might Reduce Input data by 90% already in a fraction of the time / CPU

2. Contextual & Semantic patterns

word-lists, topics, frequencies, thesaurus, antonyms, semantic dictionaries, psychologic & sentiment dictionaries

wordnet, framenet, google ngrams, google trends, ....

3. Structured Data. Querying Public Databases & the internet. SPARQL, SQL, NoSQL

Semantic web

WikiData

AWS public databases

4. Merging the above "1.-3."
