# propositional-retrieval
|
|
|
|
This template demonstrates the multi-vector indexing strategy proposed by Chen, et. al.'s [Dense X Retrieval: What Retrieval Granularity Should We Use?](https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.06648). The prompt, which you can [try out on the hub](https://smith.langchain.com/hub/wfh/proposal-indexing), directs an LLM to generate de-contextualized "propositions" which can be vectorized to increase the retrieval accuracy. You can see the full definition in `proposal_chain.py`.

|
## Storage
|
|
|
|
For this demo, we index a simple academic paper using the RecursiveUrlLoader, and store all retriever information locally (using chroma and a bytestore stored on the local filesystem). You can modify the storage layer in `storage.py`.
|
|
|
|
## Environment Setup
|
|
|
|
Set the `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable to access `gpt-3.5` and the OpenAI Embeddings classes.
|
|
|
|
## Indexing
|
|
|
|
Create the index by running the following:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
poetry install
|
|
poetry run python propositional_retrieval/ingest.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
To use this package, you should first have the LangChain CLI installed:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
pip install -U langchain-cli
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To create a new LangChain project and install this as the only package, you can do:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
langchain app new my-app --package propositional-retrieval
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to add this to an existing project, you can just run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
langchain app add propositional-retrieval
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And add the following code to your `server.py` file:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from propositional_retrieval import chain
|
|
|
|
add_routes(app, chain, path="/propositional-retrieval")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(Optional) Let's now configure LangSmith.
|
|
LangSmith will help us trace, monitor and debug LangChain applications.
|
|
You can sign up for LangSmith [here](https://smith.langchain.com/).
|
|
If you don't have access, you can skip this section
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
export LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2=true
|
|
export LANGCHAIN_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
|
|
export LANGCHAIN_PROJECT=<your-project> # if not specified, defaults to "default"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are inside this directory, then you can spin up a LangServe instance directly by:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
langchain serve
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will start the FastAPI app with a server is running locally at
|
|
[http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000)
|
|
|
|
We can see all templates at [http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs](http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs)
|
|
We can access the playground at [http://127.0.0.1:8000/propositional-retrieval/playground](http://127.0.0.1:8000/propositional-retrieval/playground)
|
|
|
|
We can access the template from code with:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from langserve.client import RemoteRunnable
|
|
|
|
runnable = RemoteRunnable("http://localhost:8000/propositional-retrieval")
|
|
```
