"🔥 v0.2 of our txtai RAG application is out! This is an easy-to-use application for exploring your own data with retrieval augmented generation (RAG) backed by txtai.

txtai is an all-in-one embeddings database for semantic search, LLM orchestration and language model workflows. txtai has a feature to automatically create knowledge graphs using semantic similarity. This enables running Graph RAG queries with path traversals. This RAG application generates a visual network to illustrate the path traversals and help understand the context from which answers are generated from.

Embeddings databases are used as the knowledge store. The application can start with a blank database or an existing one such as Wikipedia. In both cases, new data can be added. This enables augmenting a large data source with new/custom information.

Adding new data is done with the textractor pipeline. This pipeline can extract content from documents (PDF, Word, etc) along with websites. The website extraction logic detects the likely sections with main content removing noisy sections such as headers and sidebars. This helps improve the overall RAG accuracy.

"🥴 Text extraction is a messy business!

There are libraries that don't work well, require numerous dependencies, have licenses that are commercially untenable (AGPL-3) and/or require sending data to a remote API for processing!

With txtai, we use Apache Tika as our main text extraction library. It works well for most formats but it does require Java. Keep in mind that a headless JRE is smaller than dependencies other text extraction libraries require such as LibreOffice.

"📈 Let's talk about Graph RAG. We've been looking at graph-based approaches for context generation since 2022. The best use case we've seen for Graph RAG is for more complex questions and research. For example, think of a problem as a road trip with multiple stops. A graph path traversal is a great way to pick up various concepts as context, concepts which may not be directly related and not picked up by a simple keyword/vector search.

The attached image shows two graph path traversal examples. The first shows the path between a squirrel and the Red Sox winning the world series. The 2nd shows an image path from a person parachuting and someone holding a french horn. Note the progression of both the text and images along the way. There is also another example of traversing history from the end of the Roman Empire to the Norman Conquest of England.

For problems like this, graphs do a great job. If the answer is a simple retrieval of a single entry, Graph RAG doesn't add much value. Like all things, Graph RAG isn't the be-all and end-all.

"😎 All the cool kids have a RAG framework in 2024. Why? Because it's really easy. A simple RAG framework can be a couple lines of code. If all you do is call API services and stitch the results together, what value does this add?

txtai is much more than this. It's a local vector database that can also store data in Postgres. A LLM framework that works with multiple LLM backends local and remote. A sophisticated RAG pipeline. Not to mention components for graphs, BM25 and other traditional ML model pipelines. It does all this without creating unnecessary complexity and abstraction.

"We often hear one say they have a LLM and they want to solve a problem. LLMs aren't always the best tool for the job. Let's take text classification using a sentiment dataset.

Running LLM prompts for this dataset only leads to 58% accuracy! Training with a 4.4M parameter model has 91% accuracy. BERT is 93%. Sure we can fine-tune the LLM for this task but why spend an hour vs 8 minutes?

Be willing to accept the simpler solution.

"🤔 Machine translation just ask a LLM to do it?

While LLMs can translate that doesn't mean they should. What if we could utilize smaller models that were trained to translate between specific languages? What if there was a pipeline that automatically loads models based on the source to target language? 

🚀 Enter txtai's translation pipeline! The Translation pipeline automatically detects languages and searches the Hugging Face Hub for the best specialized model to perform the translation. These specialized models are often smaller than LLMs and much faster.

"✨ Let's build on our previous BM25 post and take tokenization into account. We'll compare LangChain's BM25 retriever, the recently released bm25s library (built with Scipy sparse matrices) and txtai. We'll use the same tokenization method for all 3, the Unicode Text Segmentation algorithm (UAX 29). Keep in mind that this is relevant to those using hybrid search (vector + keyword).

1.6M ArXiv abstracts were evaluated. txtai's index time was slower but search times were significantly faster. txtai used almost 6x less RAM.

"✂️ Let's talk tokenization, an underappreciated part of the NLP pipeline! Naive methods like splitting on whitespace work for European languages but not with others. Stop words were once a common pattern but have since fallen out of favor.

Modern keyword tokenizers split using the Unicode Text Segmentation algorithm (UAX 29). This enables broader language support. Many Transformers models use either word/subword or BPE tokenizers.

txtai has a built-in tokenizer that implements UAX 29. This functionality is similar to what's found in systems like Elasticsearch/Apache Lucene and it's used with txtai's sparse keyword indexing.

"⚡ LangChain and LlamaIndex both use the Rank-BM25 library to provide in-line BM25 document retrieval. Rank-BM25 is a great way to quickly stand up a BM25 search index for a small number of documents. But it doesn't scale as it's built to run in memory.

txtai has it's own BM25 implementation in Python. Term vectors are built harnessing the native performance of the Python arrays package. These term vectors are stored in a SQLite database. LRU caching stores frequently used vectors in memory. This combination of factors enables a highly performant index.

For this comparison, 2.3M ArXiv abstracts were used. LangChain ran out of memory (32 GB of RAM). The test was scaled to 1.6M abstracts. txtai had 2x slower index times but 13x faster search times than LangChain. LangChain used 25 GB of RAM, txtai used 3.8 GB of RAM.

"💡 Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is one of the most practical use cases of the Generative AI era. An LLM when presented with a bounding context often will generate factually grounded answers.

txtai makes RAG with your documents easy. It has pipelines to extract text from Office and PDF documents while preserving structured formatting (i.e. tables, lists). It has an easy-to-use LLM pipeline that automatically loads models from Hugging Face, llama.cpp and APIs (OpenAI, Ollama etc).

"💥 Hnswlib is a great vector indexing library. It's integrated into a number of vector databases.

txtai utilizes the same core pipeline for generating embeddings and storing vectors regardless of the end components. There has been a careful focus in building a highly performant and efficient vector database implementation that runs great locally.

txtai uses mmap-ing and other techniques to ensure that memory limits are respected. Streaming vector generation and offloading those vectors during index creation allows txtai to build large local indexes whereas other implementations run out of memory.

"We're seeing a lot of progress with methods to improve the efficiency of vector embeddings generation. For example, vector models trained with Matryoshka Representation Learning, push the most important information to the front of the vector, enabling us to only keep a portion of an embeddings vector.

Another method, quantization, compresses the number of values that can be represented by each bucket in an embeddings vector. With binary quantization, the values can even be reduced down to a single bit.

While all this is exciting, how do we know that these methods will work well enough for our requirements? We have to test it of course! The BEIR evaluation framework has a number of sources and it's easy to add new custom sources to test. Check out this article for a full example on this topic.

Let's say you're a geopolitical analyst and you want to study the events from WW2 to the 1989 revolutions in Eastern Europe. Just searching for ""Cold War"" isn't going to pull everything you need. With Graph RAG you can draw a path between WW2->Cold War->1989 and pull in other concepts along the way. Like having a shopping cart and going down the aisles. You can also study the first two decades of the 2000s.

"RAG in it's simplest form is a vector search as context with a LLM prompt.

With the next version of txtai, we'll have a series of new graph-based RAG techniques. Think of this like a road trip with a number of pit stops. 

Say you're researching the early medieval history of England. Sure we can run a vector search for that. But what if we can instruct a query to traverse a number of concepts we're interested in? 

Let's take the example below. This is a network of Wikipedia articles (via txtai-wikipedia). The query traverses paths of history between the Roman Empire, Anglo-Saxon period, Viking period and ends with the Norman conquest. This rich dataset is then available as a library of context to downstream LLM prompts.

Graph databases aren't new. The difference here is that txtai builds a vector store and uses that to automatically build a graph network weighted by vector similarity.

"Typical solutions for multi-tenancy store all data in the same database. Access controls are then applied either in code or the database to control what users see. There is growing interest in evaluating if SQLite or similar can be a multi-tenant solution. In other words, every user or account has it's own database.

With txtai, a similar approach could be used for multi-tenancy. An embeddings database per account or user. In this setup, each embeddings database would be stored on a filesystem or cloud storage like S3.
