From db9d5b213a1cfee0f040613db417a5657abcd74b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Saurabh Misra Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2023 18:03:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Optimize the cosine_similarity_top_k function performance (#8151) Optimizing important numerical code and making it run faster. Performance went up by 1.48x (148%). Runtime went down from 138715us to 56020us Optimization explanation: The `cosine_similarity_top_k` function is where we made the most significant optimizations. Instead of sorting the entire score_array which needs considering all elements, `np.argpartition` is utilized to find the top_k largest scores indices, this operation has a time complexity of O(n), higher performance than sorting. Remember, `np.argpartition` doesn't guarantee the order of the values. So we need to use argsort() to get the indices that would sort our top-k values after partitioning, which is much more efficient because it only sorts the top-K elements, not the entire array. Then to get the row and column indices of sorted top_k scores in the original score array, we use `np.unravel_index`. This operation is more efficient and cleaner than a list comprehension. The code has been tested for correctness by running the following snippet on both the original function and the optimized function and averaged over 5 times. ``` def test_cosine_similarity_top_k_large_matrices(): X = np.random.rand(1000, 1000) Y = np.random.rand(1000, 1000) top_k = 100 score_threshold = 0.5 gc.disable() counter = time.perf_counter_ns() return_value = cosine_similarity_top_k(X, Y, top_k, score_threshold) duration = time.perf_counter_ns() - counter gc.enable() ``` @hwaking @hwchase17 @jerwelborn Unit tests pass, I also generated more regression tests which all passed. --- libs/langchain/langchain/utils/math.py | 14 +++++++------- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/libs/langchain/langchain/utils/math.py b/libs/langchain/langchain/utils/math.py index 76c6ed3d8f..ae3c291934 100644 --- a/libs/langchain/langchain/utils/math.py +++ b/libs/langchain/langchain/utils/math.py @@ -46,11 +46,11 @@ def cosine_similarity_top_k( if len(X) == 0 or len(Y) == 0: return [], [] score_array = cosine_similarity(X, Y) - sorted_idxs = score_array.flatten().argsort()[::-1] - top_k = top_k or len(sorted_idxs) - top_idxs = sorted_idxs[:top_k] score_threshold = score_threshold or -1.0 - top_idxs = top_idxs[score_array.flatten()[top_idxs] > score_threshold] - ret_idxs = [(x // score_array.shape[1], x % score_array.shape[1]) for x in top_idxs] - scores = score_array.flatten()[top_idxs].tolist() - return ret_idxs, scores + score_array[score_array < score_threshold] = 0 + top_k = min(top_k or len(score_array), np.count_nonzero(score_array)) + top_k_idxs = np.argpartition(score_array, -top_k, axis=None)[-top_k:] + top_k_idxs = top_k_idxs[np.argsort(score_array.ravel()[top_k_idxs])][::-1] + ret_idxs = np.unravel_index(top_k_idxs, score_array.shape) + scores = score_array.ravel()[top_k_idxs].tolist() + return list(zip(*ret_idxs)), scores # type: ignore
