使用来源进行问答

本文档介绍如何使用 LangChain 在文档列表上进行带来源的问答。它涵盖了四种不同的链式类型:stuffmap_reducerefinemap-rerank。有关这些链式类型的更详细解释,请参阅这里open in new window

准备数据

首先,我们准备数据。在本示例中,我们对一个向量数据库进行相似性搜索,但这些文档可以以任何方式获取(本文档的重点是强调在获取文档后要做什么)。

from langchain.embeddings.openai import OpenAIEmbeddings
from langchain.embeddings.cohere import CohereEmbeddings
from langchain.text_splitter import CharacterTextSplitter
from langchain.vectorstores.elastic_vector_search import ElasticVectorSearch
from langchain.vectorstores import Chroma
from langchain.docstore.document import Document
from langchain.prompts import PromptTemplate
with open("../../state_of_the_union.txt") as f:
    state_of_the_union = f.read()
text_splitter = CharacterTextSplitter(chunk_size=1000, chunk_overlap=0)
texts = text_splitter.split_text(state_of_the_union)

embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
docsearch = Chroma.from_texts(texts, embeddings, metadatas=[{"source": str(i)} for i in range(len(texts))])
Running Chroma using direct local API.
Using DuckDB in-memory for database. Data will be transient.
query = "What did the president say about Justice Breyer"
docs = docsearch.similarity_search(query)
from langchain.chains.qa_with_sources import load_qa_with_sources_chain
from langchain.llms import OpenAI

快速入门

如果您只想尽快开始,以下是推荐的操作方式:

chain = load_qa_with_sources_chain(OpenAI(temperature=0), chain_type="stuff")
query = "What did the president say about Justice Breyer"
chain({"input_documents": docs, "question": query}, return_only_outputs=True)
{'output_text': ' The president thanked Justice Breyer for his service.\nSOURCES: 30-pl'}

如果您希望对所发生的情况有更多的控制和了解,请查看下面的信息。

stuff

本部分展示了使用 stuff 链进行带来源的问答的结果。

chain = load_qa_with_sources_chain(OpenAI(temperature=0), chain_type="stuff")
query = "What did the president say about Justice Breyer"
chain({"input_documents": docs, "question": query}, return_only_outputs=True)
{'output_text': ' The president thanked Justice Breyer for his service.\nSOURCES: 30-pl'}

自定义提示

您还可以在此链式中使用自定义提示。在这个示例中,我们将用意大利语回答。

template = """Given the following extracted parts of a long document and a question, create a final answer with references ("SOURCES"). 
If you don't know the answer, just say that you don't know. Don't try to make up an answer.
ALWAYS return a "SOURCES" part in your answer.
Respond in Italian.

QUESTION: {question}
=========
{summaries}
=========
FINAL ANSWER IN ITALIAN:"""
PROMPT = PromptTemplate(template=template, input_variables=["summaries", "question"])

chain = load_qa_with_sources_chain(OpenAI(temperature=0), chain_type="stuff", prompt=PROMPT)
query = "What did the president say about Justice Breyer"
chain({"input_documents": docs, "question": query}, return_only_outputs=True)
{'output_text': '\nNon so cosa abbia detto il presidente riguardo a Justice Breyer.\nSOURCES: 30, 31, 33'}

map_reduce

本部分展示了使用 map_reduce 链进行带来源的问答的结果。

chain = load_qa_with_sources_chain(OpenAI(temperature=0), chain_type="map_reduce")
query = "What did the president say about Justice Breyer"
chain({"input_documents": docs, "question": query}, return_only_outputs=True)
{'output_text': ' The president thanked Justice Breyer for his service.\nSOURCES: 30-pl'}

中间步骤

我们还可以返回 map_reduce 链的中间步骤,以供检查。这可以通过设置 return_intermediate_steps 变量来实现。

chain = load_qa_with_sources_chain(OpenAI(temperature=0), chain_type="map_reduce", return_intermediate_steps=True)
chain({"input_documents": docs, "question": query}, return_only_outputs=True)
{'intermediate_steps': [' "Tonight, I’d like to honor someone who has dedicated his life to serve this country: Justice Stephen Breyer—an Army veteran, Constitutional scholar, and retiring Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Justice Breyer, thank you for your service."',
  ' None',
  ' None',
  ' None'],
 'output_text': ' The president thanked Justice Breyer for his service.\nSOURCES: 30-pl'}

question_prompt_template = """Use the following portion of a long document to see if any of the text is relevant to answer the question. 
Return any relevant text in Italian.

QUESTION_PROMPT = PromptTemplate(
    template=question_prompt_template, input_variables=["context", "question"]

COMBINE_PROMPT = PromptTemplate(

chain({"input_documents": docs, "question": query}, return_only_outputs=True)

  ' Non pertinente.',
  ' Non rilevante.',
  " Non c'è testo pertinente."],
 'output_text': ' Non conosco la risposta. SOURCES: 30, 31, 33, 20.'}

批处理大小

在使用 map_reduce 链时,要注意的一点是在映射步骤中使用的批处理大小。如果批处理大小过大,可能会导致速率限制错误。您可以通过设置所使用的 LLM 的批处理大小来控制此参数。请注意,这仅适用于具有此参数的 LLM。以下是一个设置批处理大小的示例:

llm = OpenAI(batch_size=5, temperature=0)

refine

本部分展示了使用 refine 链进行带来源的问答的结果。

chain = load_qa_with_sources_chain(OpenAI(temperature=0), chain_type="refine")
query = "What did the president say about Justice Breyer"
chain({"input_documents": docs, "question": query}, return_only_outputs=True)
{'output_text': "\n\nThe president said that he was honoring Justice Breyer for his dedication to serving the country and that he was a retiring Justice of the United States Supreme Court. He also thanked him for his service and praised his career as a top litigator in private practice, a former federal public defender, and a family of public school educators and police officers. He noted Justice Breyer's reputation as a consensus builder and the broad range of support he has received from the Fraternal Order of Police to former judges appointed by Democrats and Republicans. He also highlighted the importance of securing the border and fixing the immigration system in order to advance liberty and justice, and mentioned the new technology, joint patrols, dedicated immigration judges, and commitments to support partners in South and Central America that have been put in place. He also expressed his commitment to the LGBTQ+ community, noting the need for the bipartisan Equality Act and the importance of protecting transgender Americans from state laws targeting them. He also highlighted his commitment to bipartisanship, noting the 80 bipartisan bills he signed into law last year, and his plans to strengthen the Violence Against Women Act. Additionally, he announced that the Justice Department will name a chief prosecutor for pandemic fraud and his plan to lower the deficit by more than one trillion dollars in a"}
