Construct RAG Utility with Cohere Command-R & Rerank – Half 2

Introduction

Within the earlier article, we experimented with Cohere’s Command-R mannequin and Rerank mannequin to generate responses and rerank doc sources. We now have applied a easy RAG pipeline utilizing them to generate responses to consumer’s questions on ingested paperwork. Nonetheless, what we’ve got applied could be very easy and unsuitable for the overall consumer, because it has no consumer interface to work together with the chatbot immediately. On this article, we are going to modularize the codebase for simple interpretation and scaling and construct a Streamlit utility that can function an interface to work together with the RAG pipeline. The interface shall be a chatbot interface that the consumer can use to work together with it. So, we are going to implement an extra reminiscence part inside the utility, permitting customers to ask follow-up queries on earlier responses.

Studying Goals

• Utilizing object-oriented programming (OOP) ideas, develop a reusable, modular codebase for varied RAG pipelines.
• Create an ingestion pipeline for doc ingestion parts and a question pipeline for query-related parts. Each are impartial and may run individually.
• Join solely the question pipeline to the Streamlit app for consumer queries, with an possibility so as to add doc ingestion by modifying the code.
• Implement a reminiscence part to allow follow-up queries based mostly on earlier responses.
• Flip pocket book experiments into demo-able functions inside the Python ecosystem.
• Facilitate sooner prototype improvement with minimal code adjustments by creating reusable code for future RAG pipelines.

Doc QnA Pipeline Improvement

Step one in constructing a prototype or deployable utility is defining the configurations and constants used inside varied utility sections. The applying has a number of configurable choices, equivalent to chunk dimension and overlap within the Ingestion pipeline, the API key for Cohere endpoints, and the temperature for LLM technology. These configurations shall be in a central config file, accessible from wherever inside the utility.

We might want to comply with a folder construction for this venture. We could have a ‘src’ listing the place all the mandatory information shall be saved, and the app.py file shall be within the root listing. Under is the construction that we’ll comply with:

.
├── .venv
├── src
│   ├── config.py
│   ├── constants.py
│   ├── ingestion.py
│   └── qna.py
├── app.py
└── necessities.txt

We’ll create two information for 2 functions: A config.py file to carry the key keys, a vector retailer path, and some different configurations and a constants.py file to carry all of the constants used within the utility just like the chunk dimension, chunk overlap, and immediate template. Under are the contents for the config.py file:

COHERE_EMBEDDING_MODEL_NAME = "embed-english-v3.0" 
COHERE_MODEL_NAME = "command-r" 
COHERE_RERANK_MODEL_NAME = "rerank-english-v3.0" 
DEEPLAKE_VECTORSTORE = "/path/to/doc/vectorstore" 
API_KEY = “”
Under are the contents for constants.py file: 
PDF_CHARSPLITTER_CHUNKSIZE = 1000 
PDF_CHARSPLITTER_CHUNK_OVERLAP = 100 
TEMPERATURE = 0.3 
TOP_K = 25 
CONTEXT_THRESHOLD = 0.8 
PROMPT_TEMPLATE = """
<YOUR PROMPT HERE>
Chat Historical past: {chat_history} Context: {context} Query: {query} Reply:
"""

Within the config.py file, I’ve put the Cohere API key, names of all of the fashions used, and path to the doc vector retailer. Within the constants.py file, I’ve put immediate template and different ingestion and technology configurations like chunk dimension and chunk overlap values, temperature for LLM technology, top_k for the topmost related chunks, and the context threshold to filter out chunks which have relevancy
rating beneath 0.8. The contents of the config.py and constants.py information might be modified based mostly on use instances.

Half 1 – Ingestion

Subsequent, we are going to take a look at how we are able to modularize the Ingestion pipeline. We’ll create a single class named Ingestion and add a technique to generate embeddings and retailer them within the vector retailer. Be aware

that we’ll have single information for our use case for every pipeline. Because the complexity of the use case will increase, a number of information might be created to deal with every pipeline part. It will guarantee
code readability and ease in additional adjustments and updates.

Under is the code for the Ingestion class:

import timeimport time
import src.constants as fixed
import src.config as cfg

from langchain_cohere import CohereEmbeddings
from langchain.document_loaders.pdf import PyPDFLoader
from langchain.text_splitter import CharacterTextSplitter


class Ingestion:
    def __init__(self):
        self.text_vectorstore = None
        self.embeddings = CohereEmbeddings(
            mannequin=cfg.COHERE_EMBEDDING_MODEL_NAME,
            cohere_api_key=cfg.API_KEY,
        )

    def create_and_add_embeddings(
        self,
        file_path: str,
    ):
        self.text_vectorstore = DeepLake(
            dataset_path=cfg.DEEPLAKE_VECTORSTORE,
            embedding=self.embeddings,
            verbose=False,
            num_workers=4,
        )

        loader = PyPDFLoader(file_path=file_path)

        text_splitter = CharacterTextSplitter(
            separator="n",
            chunk_size=fixed.PDF_CHARSPLITTER_CHUNKSIZE,
            chunk_overlap=fixed.PDF_CHARSPLITTER_CHUNK_OVERLAP,
        )
        pages = loader.load()
        chunks = text_splitter.split_documents(pages)
        _ = self.text_vectorstore.add_documents(paperwork=chunks)
import src.constants as fixed
import src.config as cfg

from langchain_cohere import CohereEmbeddings
from langchain.document_loaders.pdf import PyPDFLoader
from langchain.text_splitter import CharacterTextSplitter


class Ingestion:
    def __init__(self):
        self.text_vectorstore = None
        self.embeddings = CohereEmbeddings(
            mannequin=cfg.COHERE_EMBEDDING_MODEL_NAME,
            cohere_api_key=cfg.API_KEY,
        )

    def create_and_add_embeddings(
        self,
        file_path: str,
    ):
        self.text_vectorstore = DeepLake(
            dataset_path=cfg.DEEPLAKE_VECTORSTORE,
            embedding=self.embeddings,
            verbose=False,
            num_workers=4,
        )

        loader = PyPDFLoader(file_path=file_path)

        text_splitter = CharacterTextSplitter(
            separator="n",
            chunk_size=fixed.PDF_CHARSPLITTER_CHUNKSIZE,
            chunk_overlap=fixed.PDF_CHARSPLITTER_CHUNK_OVERLAP,
        )
        pages = loader.load()
        chunks = text_splitter.split_documents(pages)
        _ = self.text_vectorstore.add_documents(paperwork=chunks)

Let’s perceive every a part of the above code. First, we import all obligatory packages, together with the constants and config information. Then, we outline the category Ingestion and its class constructor utilizing the __init__ methodology. We set the text_vectorstore variable to None, which shall be initialized with the vector retailer occasion later. Then, we initialize the Embeddings mannequin occasion utilizing the mannequin title and the API key from the config.

Subsequent, we create the create_and_add_embeddings methodology, which takes the file_path to which the doc is ingested. Inside this methodology, we first initialize the vector retailer utilizing the vector retailer path and embeddings. We now have additionally set the num_workers to 4 in order that 4 CPU cores are utilized for sooner processing. Then, we initialize the PDF Loader object utilizing the file_path, after which we use the Character Splitter to separate the chunks. We then load the PDF file and cut up the pages into additional chunks. The ultimate chunks are then added to the vector retailer.

Half 2 – QnA

Now that we’ve got the ingestion pipeline setup, we are going to create the QnA pipeline. Under is the code for the QnA class:

import time
import src.constants as fixed
import src.config as cfg
from pymongo import MongoClient
from langchain_cohere import CohereEmbeddings
from langchain_cohere import ChatCohere
from langchain.reminiscence.chat_message_histories.sql import SQLChatMessageHistory
from langchain.reminiscence import ConversationBufferWindowMemory
from langchain.chains.conversational_retrieval.base import ConversationalRetrievalChain
from langchain.prompts import PromptTemplate
from langchain.retrievers import ContextualCompressionRetriever
from langchain_cohere import CohereRerank


class QnA:
    def __init__(self):
        self.embeddings = CohereEmbeddings(
            mannequin=cfg.COHERE_EMBEDDING_MODEL_NAME,
            cohere_api_key=cfg.API_KEY,
        )
        self.mannequin = ChatCohere(
            mannequin=cfg.COHERE_MODEL_NAME,
            cohere_api_key=cfg.API_KEY,
            temperature=fixed.TEMPERATURE,
        )
        self.cohere_rerank = CohereRerank(
            cohere_api_key=cfg.API_KEY,
            mannequin=cfg.COHERE_RERANK_MODEL_NAME,
        )
        self.text_vectorstore = None
        self.text_retriever = None

    def ask_question(
        self,
        question,
        session_id,
        verbose: bool = False,
    ):
        start_time = time.time()
        self.init_vectorstore()

        memory_key = "chat_history"
        historical past = SQLChatMessageHistory(
            session_id=session_id,
            connection_string="sqlite:///reminiscence.db",
        )

        PROMPT = PromptTemplate(
            template=fixed.PROMPT_TEMPLATE,
            input_variables=["chat_history", "context", "question"],
        )
        reminiscence = ConversationBufferWindowMemory(
            memory_key=memory_key,
            output_key="reply",
            input_key="query",
            chat_memory=historical past,
            okay=2,
            return_messages=True,
        )
        chain_type_kwargs = {"immediate": PROMPT}
        qa = ConversationalRetrievalChain.from_llm(
            llm=self.mannequin,
            combine_docs_chain_kwargs=chain_type_kwargs,
            retriever=self.text_retriever,
            verbose=verbose,
            reminiscence=reminiscence,
            return_source_documents=True,
            chain_type="stuff",
        )
        response = qa.invoke({"query": question})
        exec_time = time.time() - start_time

        return response

    def init_vectorstore(self):
        self.text_vectorstore = DeepLake(
            dataset_path=cfg.DEEPLAKE_VECTORSTORE,
            embedding=self.embeddings,
            verbose=False,
            read_only=True,
            num_workers=4,
        )

        self.text_retriever = ContextualCompressionRetriever(
            base_compressor=self.cohere_rerank,
            base_retriever=self.text_vectorstore.as_retriever(
                search_type="similarity",
                search_kwargs={
                    "fetch_k": 20,
                    "okay": fixed.TOP_K,
                },
            ),
        )

We created a QnA class with an initializer that units up the question-answering system. It creates an occasion of the CohereEmbeddings class for producing textual content embeddings utilizing the mannequin’s title and API key. It additionally initializes the ChatCohere class for conversational duties with a temperature worth for textual content randomness and the CohereRerank class for reranking responses based mostly on relevance.

The ask_question methodology takes a question, session ID, and elective verbose flag. The init_vectorstore methodology initializes the vector database and retriever parts. A reminiscence key and an occasion of SQLChatMessageHistory manages dialog historical past. The PromptTemplate codecs the question and historical past, and the ConversationBufferWindowMemory manages the dialog buffer reminiscence.

The ConversationalRetrievalChain class combines the retriever and language mannequin for question-answering. It’s initialized with the language mannequin, immediate template, retriever, and different settings. The invoke methodology generates a response based mostly on the question and historical past and calculates the execution time of ask_question.

The init_vectorstore methodology units up the vector database and retriever. The DeepLake occasion initializes the vector database with the trail, embedding mannequin, and different parameters. The ContextualCompressionRetriever manages the retriever part with the reranking mannequin and vector database, specifying the search sort and parameters.

Half 3 – Streamlit UI

Now that each the Ingestion and QnA pipelines are prepared, we are going to construct the Streamlit interface that can make the most of the pipelines. Under is all the code for the Streamlit interface:

import streamlit as st

from src.qna import QnA
from dataclasses import dataclass

@dataclass
class Message:
    actor: str
    payload: str


def important():
    st.set_page_config(
        page_title="KnowledgeGPT",
        page_icon="📖",
        format="centered",
        initial_sidebar_state="collapsed",
    )
    st.header("📖KnowledgeGPT")

    USER = "consumer"
    ASSISTANT = "ai"
    MESSAGES = "messages"

    with st.spinner(textual content="Initializing..."):
        st.session_state["qna"] = QnA()

    qna = st.session_state["qna"]
    if MESSAGES not in st.session_state:
        st.session_state[MESSAGES] = [
            Message(
                actor=ASSISTANT,
                payload="Hi! How can I help you?",
            )
        ]
    msg: Message
    for msg in st.session_state[MESSAGES]:
        st.chat_message(msg.actor).write(msg.payload)

    immediate: str = st.chat_input("Enter a immediate right here")

    if immediate:
        st.session_state[MESSAGES].append(Message(actor=USER, payload=immediate))
        st.chat_message(USER).write(immediate)
        with st.spinner(textual content="Considering..."):
            response = qna.ask_question(
                question=immediate, session_id="AWDAA-adawd-ADAFAEF"
            )

        st.session_state[MESSAGES].append(Message(actor=ASSISTANT, payload=response))
        st.chat_message(ASSISTANT).write(response)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    important()

Streamlit UI Performance

The Streamlit UI serves because the user-facing part of our utility. Right here’s a breakdown of its performance:

• Web page Configuration: The st.set_page_config perform units the web page title, icon, format, and preliminary state of the sidebar.
• Constants: We outline constants for the consumer (USER), assistant (ASSISTANT), and messages (MESSAGES) to enhance code readability.
• QnA Occasion Initialization: We initialize the QnA occasion and retailer it within the st.session_state dictionary. This ensures that the occasion persists throughout totally different app classes.
• Chat Messages Initialization: If MESSAGES is just not current in st.session_state, we initialize it with a welcome message from the assistant.
• Show Chat Messages: The code iterates via the MESSAGES checklist and shows every message together with the sender (consumer or assistant).
• Person Enter: Immediate the consumer to enter a immediate utilizing st.chat_input.
• Processing Person Enter: If the consumer offers a immediate, code appends it to the MESSAGES checklist and generates the assistant’s response utilizing the ask_question methodology of the QnA occasion.
• Show Assistant Response: Append the assistant’s response to the MESSAGES checklist and show it to the consumer.

Lastly, we run the primary methodology to launch the app. We will begin the app utilizing the next command:

streamlit run app.py

Working of the App

Under is a brief demo of how the app works:

Right here’s how KnowledgeGPT will work:
