🔍 Problem Statement

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Current performance metrics are basic (time, swaps, comparisons) and don't provide predictive insights, pattern recognition, or intelligent recommendations. Users can't understand long-term performance trends, algorithm suitability for different data patterns, or receive AI-powered optimization suggestions.

User Story
As a researcher or advanced student studying algorithm performance, I want intelligent analysis and predictions about algorithm behavior so that I can make data-driven decisions about algorithm selection and understand complex performance patterns across different scenarios.

💡 Proposed Solution

Describe the solution you'd like
Implement an advanced analytics dashboard powered by machine learning that provides:

• Performance Prediction: ML models predicting algorithm performance for different input sizes/patterns
• Pattern Recognition: Identify optimal algorithms for specific data characteristics
• Trend Analysis: Historical performance tracking with anomaly detection
• Smart Recommendations: AI-powered algorithm selection based on use case
• Performance Clustering: Group similar algorithm runs and identify patterns
• Predictive Scaling: Forecast performance at larger scales

Key Features/Requirements:

• ML model training on algorithm performance data
• Real-time performance prediction engine
• Interactive data visualization dashboard
• Pattern recognition for data characteristics
• Historical performance trend analysis
• Anomaly detection for performance regressions
• Smart algorithm recommendation system
• Performance forecasting for large datasets
• Export ML insights and reports
• A/B testing framework for algorithm comparison

Acceptance Criteria:

• ML models achieve >85% accuracy in performance prediction
• Dashboard loads and updates in real-time without lag
• Pattern recognition correctly identifies data characteristics
• Recommendations are relevant and actionable
• Historical data is stored and queryable efficiently
• Works across all supported algorithms and array sizes
• Mobile-responsive dashboard design

🔄 Alternative Solutions

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Static performance charts lack predictive capabilities
• Manual algorithm selection requires deep expertise
• External analytics tools don't integrate with sorting context

Why is this the best approach?
ML-powered insights provide intelligent guidance that adapts to user behavior and data patterns, transforming SortVision from a visualization tool into an intelligent algorithm analysis platform.

🎨 Design & Implementation Ideas

Technical Considerations:

• Frontend: React with advanced charting libraries (D3.js, Recharts)
• ML Framework: TensorFlow.js for client-side inference
• Data Storage: IndexedDB for local performance history
• Analytics: Web Workers for ML computations
• Visualization: Canvas-based high-performance charts

Advanced ML Implementation:

  constructor() {
    this.model = null;
    this.isTraining = false;
    this.trainingData = [];
  }
  
  async initializeModel() {
    // Initialize TensorFlow.js model for performance prediction
    this.model = tf.sequential({
      layers: [
        tf.layers.dense({inputShape: [6], units: 64, activation: 'relu'}),
        tf.layers.dropout({rate: 0.2}),
        tf.layers.dense({units: 32, activation: 'relu'}),
        tf.layers.dense({units: 1, activation: 'linear'})
      ]
    });
    
    this.model.compile({
      optimizer: 'adam',
      loss: 'meanSquaredError',
      metrics: ['meanAbsoluteError']
    });
  }
  
  async predictPerformance(algorithm, arraySize, dataPattern) {
    const features = this.extractFeatures(algorithm, arraySize, dataPattern);
    const prediction = this.model.predict(tf.tensor2d([features]));
    return prediction.dataSync()[0];
  }
  
  extractFeatures(algorithm, arraySize, dataPattern) {
    return [
      this.encodeAlgorithm(algorithm),
      Math.log(arraySize),
      this.encodeDataPattern(dataPattern),
      arraySize / 1000,
      this.getAlgorithmComplexity(algorithm),
      this.getDataPatternComplexity(dataPattern)
    ];
  }
}

// Pattern recognition system
class DataPatternAnalyzer {
  analyzeArray(array) {
    return {
      sortedness: this.calculateSortedness(array),
      duplicateRatio: this.calculateDuplicateRatio(array),
      variance: this.calculateVariance(array),
      entropy: this.calculateEntropy(array),
      clusteriness: this.calculateClusteriness(array)
    };
  }
  
  recommendOptimalAlgorithm(pattern, constraints) {
    const features = [
      pattern.sortedness,
      pattern.duplicateRatio,
      pattern.variance,
      constraints.timeLimit,
      constraints.memoryLimit
    ];
    
    return this.algorithmRecommendationModel.predict(features);
  }
}

// Performance anomaly detection
class AnomalyDetector {
  detectPerformanceAnomaly(currentMetrics, historicalData) {
    const normalizedCurrent = this.normalizeMetrics(currentMetrics);
    const historicalMean = this.calculateMean(historicalData);
    const historicalStd = this.calculateStandardDeviation(historicalData);
    
    const zScore = Math.abs((normalizedCurrent - historicalMean) / historicalStd);
    return {
      isAnomaly: zScore > 2.5,
      severity: this.calculateSeverity(zScore),
      explanation: this.explainAnomaly(currentMetrics, historicalMean)
    };
  }
}
