CLI Guide

The CLI is usually the better fit for:

• batch processing many slides from a manifest

• reproducible config-file-driven runs

• generating on-disk embedding artifacts for later use

Basic Command

slide2vec /path/to/config.yaml

This command:

• loads the config file

• builds a Model, PreprocessingConfig, and Pipeline

• runs Pipeline.run(manifest_path=cfg.csv)

What the Config Controls

In practice, the config controls:

• the path to the input manifest (see Input Manifest for details)

• preprocessing/tiling parameters (see Preprocessing for details)

• which model preset to use (see Model Zoo for available presets)

• output directory

• execution parameters (see Controlling Execution for details)

The main bundled defaults live under slide2vec/configs/default.yaml.

Outputs

The CLI writes artifact directories under output_dir. See Output Layout for the full directory structure and persisted file schemas.
