@svlandeg gave me a tip for how to improve a bit on
https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain/pull/7442 for some extra speed
and memory gains. The tagger isn't needed for sentencization, so can be
disabled too.
This PR changes the behavior of `Qdrant.from_texts` so the collection is
reused if not requested to recreate it. Previously, calling
`Qdrant.from_texts` or `Qdrant.from_documents` resulted in removing the
old data which was confusing for many.

# Causal program-aided language (CPAL) chain
## Motivation
This builds on the recent [PAL](https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.10435) to
stop LLM hallucination. The problem with the
[PAL](https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.10435) approach is that it hallucinates
on a math problem with a nested chain of dependence. The innovation here
is that this new CPAL approach includes causal structure to fix
hallucination.
For example, using the below word problem, PAL answers with 5, and CPAL
answers with 13.
"Tim buys the same number of pets as Cindy and Boris."
"Cindy buys the same number of pets as Bill plus Bob."
"Boris buys the same number of pets as Ben plus Beth."
"Bill buys the same number of pets as Obama."
"Bob buys the same number of pets as Obama."
"Ben buys the same number of pets as Obama."
"Beth buys the same number of pets as Obama."
"If Obama buys one pet, how many pets total does everyone buy?"
The CPAL chain represents the causal structure of the above narrative as
a causal graph or DAG, which it can also plot, as shown below.
.
The two major sections below are:
1. Technical overview
2. Future application
Also see [this jupyter
notebook](https://github.com/borisdev/langchain/blob/master/docs/extras/modules/chains/additional/cpal.ipynb)
doc.
## 1. Technical overview
### CPAL versus PAL
Like [PAL](https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.10435), CPAL intends to reduce
large language model (LLM) hallucination.
The CPAL chain is different from the PAL chain for a couple of reasons.
* CPAL adds a causal structure (or DAG) to link entity actions (or math
expressions).
* The CPAL math expressions are modeling a chain of cause and effect
relations, which can be intervened upon, whereas for the PAL chain math
expressions are projected math identities.
PAL's generated python code is wrong. It hallucinates when complexity
increases.
```python
def solution():
"""Tim buys the same number of pets as Cindy and Boris.Cindy buys the same number of pets as Bill plus Bob.Boris buys the same number of pets as Ben plus Beth.Bill buys the same number of pets as Obama.Bob buys the same number of pets as Obama.Ben buys the same number of pets as Obama.Beth buys the same number of pets as Obama.If Obama buys one pet, how many pets total does everyone buy?"""
obama_pets = 1
tim_pets = obama_pets
cindy_pets = obama_pets + obama_pets
boris_pets = obama_pets + obama_pets
total_pets = tim_pets + cindy_pets + boris_pets
result = total_pets
return result # math result is 5
```
CPAL's generated python code is correct.
```python
story outcome data
name code value depends_on
0 obama pass 1.0 []
1 bill bill.value = obama.value 1.0 [obama]
2 bob bob.value = obama.value 1.0 [obama]
3 ben ben.value = obama.value 1.0 [obama]
4 beth beth.value = obama.value 1.0 [obama]
5 cindy cindy.value = bill.value + bob.value 2.0 [bill, bob]
6 boris boris.value = ben.value + beth.value 2.0 [ben, beth]
7 tim tim.value = cindy.value + boris.value 4.0 [cindy, boris]
query data
{
"question": "how many pets total does everyone buy?",
"expression": "SELECT SUM(value) FROM df",
"llm_error_msg": ""
}
# query result is 13
```
Based on the comments below, CPAL's intended location in the library is
`experimental/chains/cpal` and PAL's location is`chains/pal`.
### CPAL vs Graph QA
Both the CPAL chain and the Graph QA chain extract entity-action-entity
relations into a DAG.
The CPAL chain is different from the Graph QA chain for a few reasons.
* Graph QA does not connect entities to math expressions
* Graph QA does not associate actions in a sequence of dependence.
* Graph QA does not decompose the narrative into these three parts:
1. Story plot or causal model
4. Hypothetical question
5. Hypothetical condition
### Evaluation
Preliminary evaluation on simple math word problems shows that this CPAL
chain generates less hallucination than the PAL chain on answering
questions about a causal narrative. Two examples are in [this jupyter
notebook](https://github.com/borisdev/langchain/blob/master/docs/extras/modules/chains/additional/cpal.ipynb)
doc.
## 2. Future application
### "Describe as Narrative, Test as Code"
The thesis here is that the Describe as Narrative, Test as Code approach
allows you to represent a causal mental model both as code and as a
narrative, giving you the best of both worlds.
#### Why describe a causal mental mode as a narrative?
The narrative form is quick. At a consensus building meeting, people use
narratives to persuade others of their causal mental model, aka. plan.
You can share, version control and index a narrative.
#### Why test a causal mental model as a code?
Code is testable, complex narratives are not. Though fast, narratives
are problematic as their complexity increases. The problem is LLMs and
humans are prone to hallucination when predicting the outcomes of a
narrative. The cost of building a consensus around the validity of a
narrative outcome grows as its narrative complexity increases. Code does
not require tribal knowledge or social power to validate.
Code is composable, complex narratives are not. The answer of one CPAL
chain can be the hypothetical conditions of another CPAL Chain. For
stochastic simulations, a composable plan can be integrated with the
[DoWhy library](https://github.com/py-why/dowhy). Lastly, for the
futuristic folk, a composable plan as code allows ordinary community
folk to design a plan that can be integrated with a blockchain for
funding.

This PR proposes an implementation to support `generate` as an
`early_stopping_method` for the new `OpenAIFunctionsAgent` class.
The motivation behind is to facilitate the user to set a maximum number
of actions the agent can take with `max_iterations` and force a final
response with this new agent (as with the `Agent` class).
The following changes were made:
- The `OpenAIFunctionsAgent.return_stopped_response` method was
overwritten to support `generate` as an `early_stopping_method`
- A boolean `with_functions` parameter was added to the
`OpenAIFunctionsAgent.plan` method
This way the `OpenAIFunctionsAgent.return_stopped_response` method can
call the `OpenAIFunctionsAgent.plan` method with `with_function=False`
when the `early_stopping_method` is set to `generate`, making a call to
the LLM with no functions and forcing a final response from the
`"assistant"`.

Description: This pull request aims to support generating the correct
generic relevancy scores for different vector stores by refactoring the
relevance score functions and their selection in the base class and
subclasses of VectorStore. This is especially relevant with VectorStores
that require a distance metric upon initialization. Note many of the
current implenetations of `_similarity_search_with_relevance_scores` are
not technically correct, as they just return
`self.similarity_search_with_score(query, k, **kwargs)` without applying
the relevant score function
Also includes changes associated with:
https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain/pull/6564 and

Dependencies: None
The changes include:
- Properly handling score thresholding in FAISS
`similarity_search_with_score_by_vector` for the corresponding distance
metric.
- Refactoring the `_similarity_search_with_relevance_scores` method in
the base class and removing it from the subclasses for incorrectly
implemented subclasses.
- Adding a `_select_relevance_score_fn` method in the base class and
implementing it in the subclasses to select the appropriate relevance
score function based on the distance strategy.
- Updating the `__init__` methods of the subclasses to set the
`relevance_score_fn` attribute.
- Removing the `_default_relevance_score_fn` function from the FAISS
class and using the base class's `_euclidean_relevance_score_fn`
instead.
- Adding the `DistanceStrategy` enum to the `utils.py` file and updating
the imports in the vector store classes.
- Updating the tests to import the `DistanceStrategy` enum from the
`utils.py` file.

### Dependencies

`SpacyTextSplitter` currently uses spacy's statistics-based
`en_core_web_sm` model for sentence splitting. This is a good splitter,
but it's also pretty slow, and in this case it's doing a lot of work
that's not needed given that the spacy parse is then just thrown away.
However, there is also a simple rules-based spacy sentencizer. Using
this is at least an order of magnitude faster than using
`en_core_web_sm` according to my local tests.
Also, spacy sentence tokenization based on `en_core_web_sm` can be sped
up in this case by not doing the NER stage. This shaves some cycles too,
both when loading the model and when parsing the text.
Consequently, this PR adds the option to use the basic spacy
sentencizer, and it disables the NER stage for the current approach,
*which is kept as the default*.
Lastly, when extracting the tokenized sentences, the `text` attribute is
called directly instead of doing the string conversion, which is IMO a
bit more idiomatic.
Hey @hwchase17 -
This PR adds a `ZepMemory` class, improves handling of Zep's message
metadata, and makes it easier for folks building custom chains to
persist metadata alongside their chat history.
We've had plenty confused users unfamiliar with ChatMessageHistory
classes and how to wrap the `ZepChatMessageHistory` in a
`ConversationBufferMemory`. So we've created the `ZepMemory` class as a
light wrapper for `ZepChatMessageHistory`.
Details:
- add ZepMemory, modify notebook to demo use of ZepMemory
- Modify summary to be SystemMessage
- add metadata argument to add_message; add Zep metadata to
Message.additional_kwargs
- support passing in metadata
- Description: Tiny documentation fix. In Python, when defining function
parameters or providing arguments to a function or class constructor, we
do not use the `:` character.

Have noticed transient ref example misalignment. I believe this is
caused by the logic of assigning an example within the thread executor
rather than before.
Current problems:
1. Evaluating LLMs or Chat models isn't smooth. Even specifying
'generations' as the output inserts a redundant list into the eval
template
2. Configuring input / prediction / reference keys in the
`get_qa_evaluator` function is confusing. Unless you are using a chain
with the default keys, you have to specify all the variables and need to
reason about whether the key corresponds to the traced run's inputs,
outputs or the examples inputs or outputs.
Proposal:
- Configure the run evaluator according to a model. Use the model type
and input/output keys to assert compatibility where possible. Only need
to specify a reference_key for certain evaluators (which is less
confusing than specifying input keys)
When does this work:
- If you have your langchain model available (assumed always for
run_on_dataset flow)
- If you are evaluating an LLM, Chat model, or chain
- If the LLM or chat models are traced by langchain (wouldn't work if
you add an incompatible schema via the REST API)
When would this fail:
- Currently if you directly create an example from an LLM run, the
outputs are generations with all the extra metadata present. A simple
`example_key` and dumping all to the template could make the evaluations
unreliable
- Doesn't help if you're not using the low level API
- If you want to instantiate the evaluator without instantiating your
chain or LLM (maybe common for monitoring, for instance) -> could also
load from run or run type though
What's ugly:
- Personally think it's better to load evaluators one by one since
passing a config down is pretty confusing.
- Lots of testing needs to be added
- Inconsistent in that it makes a separate run and example input mapper
instead of the original `RunEvaluatorInputMapper`, which maps a run and
example to a single input.
Example usage running the for an LLM, Chat Model, and Agent.
```

model = ChatOpenAI()
configured_evaluators = load_run_evaluators_for_model(evaluator_names, model=model, reference_key="answer")
