GSoC Report for Week 4 of Phase 2

I’m excited to have made progress on the filtering work. I have tested and pushed code which should be able to handle the tagging of different types of irrelevant changes. I have also fixed diff-match-patch issues along with Rob. I'm also excited to have made progress on creating new methods for computing differences. I have discussed a few ideas with Rob and we should have new functions soon.

I have finished working on the following issues:

• Create functions that ID/characterize page elements for later use in filtration
• Diff-match-patch seems to be working poorly

I started working on the following issue:

• Create experimental methods for computing differences

I have put the following issues on hold for now:

• Implement caching to reduce loading time while working with diff files

The following PR was updated:

• Filters and cache work was changed to Filtering Work

I'm working on pushing the filtering to the staging db and hopefully will get some analysts to test it once it has been done.
