ValidationError: 1 validation error for RetrievalQA
retriever
instance of BaseRetriever expected (type=type_error.arbitrary_type; expected_arbitrary_type=BaseRetriever)
```
The vectorstores had to be converted to retrievers:
`vectorstore_sota.as_retriever()` and `vectorstore_pg.as_retriever()`.
The PR also:
- adds the file `paul_graham_essay.txt` referenced by this notebook
- adds to gitignore *.pkl and *.bin files that are generated by this
notebook
Interestingly enough, the performance of the prediction greatly
increased (new version of langchain or ne version of OpenAI models since
the last run of the notebook): from 19/33 correct to 28/33 correct!
