# This builtin function implements SliceLine, a linear-algebra-based
# ML model debugging technique for finding the top-k data slices where
# a trained models performs significantly worse than on the overall
# dataset. For a detailed description and experimental results, see:
# Svetlana Sagadeeva, Matthias Boehm: SliceLine: Fast, Linear-Algebra-based
# Slice Finding for ML Model Debugging.(SIGMOD 2021)
#
# INPUT:
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# X        Feature matrix in recoded/binned representation
# e        Error vector of trained model
# k        Number of subsets required
# maxL     maximum level L (conjunctions of L predicates), 0 unlimited
# minSup   minimum support (min number of rows per slice)
# alpha    weight [0,1]: 0 only size, 1 only error
# tpEval   flag for task-parallel slice evaluation,
#          otherwise data-parallel
# tpBlksz  block size for task-parallel execution (num slices)
# selFeat  flag for removing one-hot-encoded features that don't satisfy
#          the initial minimum-support constraint and/or have zero error
# verbose  flag for verbose debug output
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# OUTPUT:
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# TK    top-k slices (k x ncol(X) if successful)
# TKC   score, total/max error, size of slices (k x 4)
# D     debug matrix, populated with enumeration stats if verbose
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
