πŸš€ Great to see how each new release of txtai brings new users into the fold. Look how adding llama.cpp and LLM APIs bumped up the number of downloads. And how better examples with streaming RAG with local document text extraction did the same! https://lnkd.in/ecEgQDYM

Did you know that most of the functionality in txtai can be run with configuration? That's right, txtai can dynamically load Embeddings, LLM, RAG and other pipelines with YAML configuration. Check out this example that loads an Embeddings database via Docker with a couple of lines of YAML config. The example then runs a graph search via the local API and plots the results with Sigma.js.

An array of search results show the top N best matches for a query. But what if some of those matches aren't related to the others? That's where txtai's semantic graph and Graph RAG patterns help. Graphs open up different possibilities such as looking at the most central results and/or walking a specific path to pull in only certain types of results.

πŸ₯³πŸŽ‚ August 11, 2020 - txtai was born. This image and Reddit post started it all! The last 4 years have been amazing! The community that has developed around txtai has been humbling. 8.5K ⭐'s later there is still much work to do. Only a small fraction of the space knows about txtai. The more that know, the more that will see that it's a better approach than other "popular" frameworks. Let's go! GitHub: https://lnkd.in/dxWDeey Original Reddit Post: https://lnkd.in/eA9G7m6M

πŸ“ˆ While LLMs are prone to mistakes, they are a great way to learn the lingo of a new domain. Take this example of a Llama 3.1 prompt that analyzes publicly traded stocks. If you run this example with a couple different stocks, you'll quickly learn the indicators that are common: P/E Ratio, market cap, trailing EPS, cash on hand etc. While LLMs shouldn't be trusted blindly, they are a great tool.

One of the most powerful pipelines available in txtai is it's textractor pipeline. It can convert a large number of document formats to Markdown for LLM/RAG consumption. One common concern is with it's Apache Tika/Java dependency. Did you know that Apache Tika can instead be started via this Docker Image? https://lnkd.in/eMUHkrBS

One of the more underappreciated components of txtai is it's cloud sync. Say you're doing market/sales/academic or even medical research, you parse and build an embeddings index over a series of papers/websites/documents. Given the portable nature of txtai's index format, an Embeddings index can easily be synced to cloud storage (i.e. AWS S3/Azure Blob/Google Cloud) or even the Hugging Face Hub. From there, anyone can spin up a RAG process using this data upon being granted access. No need for servers and complex setups. Learn more below. https://lnkd.in/eMGY7uRB

πŸ“„ Transforming HTML to Markdown is easy until it isn't! Most websites have headers, footers and sidebars with little consistency. Just naively converting a website to Markdown leads to a lot of irrelevant content which can throw LLMs off. That's where txtai's textractor pipeline can helpπŸš€ This pipeline has logic to detect the most likely sections with the main content removing noisy sections such as headers, footers and sidebars. This helps improve the overall RAG accuracy. Check out this example extraction: https://lnkd.in/eh6d8Nau See how only the main content is extracted!

πŸ”₯ 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. See more at the links below. GitHub: https://lnkd.in/evdB5HgN Docker Hub: https://lnkd.in/e-3Cx_68

As many go down the "agentic path", we're choosing a different path.....graph path traversals! πŸ”΅->🟨->🟒 Graph path traversals use vector similarity and/or relationships of your choosing to walk a graph and enable LLMs to explain complex concepts and relationships. This example walks a path and automatically generates an explanation of the network in the form of a short article. Paths can be set directly (i.e. Roman Empire -> Reasons for collapse) or inferred from a query (Tell me the reasons why the Roman Empire collapsed). Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/evdB5HgN

πŸš€ We're thrilled to release an innovative and easy-to-use application for RAG and πŸ“ˆ GraphRAG. We believe this application has features that are novel and not seen anywhere else. txtai has been out ahead with semantic graphs for a while now. We've long known that graph path traversals are a great way to build contexts even before we knew LLMs would be the spot for this context. The RAG application allows uploading your own data and documents. Graphs are automatically constructed, relationships automatically derived. Each node in the graph is given a LLM-generated topic. With one pull of a Docker image, you can be up and running with a full-featured GraphRAG application on your own data. Enjoy! GitHub: https://lnkd.in/evdB5HgN Docker: https://lnkd.in/e-3Cx_68

πŸ₯΄ 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. txtai also plays nice with others. If you'd like to use an external library for PDF parsing, check this example out. Just be aware of the license for this library! Link to code: https://lnkd.in/dt2z7W_j

πŸ“ˆ 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. Read more in the articles below.

😎 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. And it's open-source, check it out: https://lnkd.in/dxWDeey

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. Link to code: https://lnkd.in/d38xBm6X

πŸ€” 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? πŸš€ 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. Link to code: https://lnkd.in/eefCwRDu

✨ 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.

βœ‚οΈ 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. Link to the code: https://lnkd.in/egVRgEAT

⚑ 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.

πŸ’‘ 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). See how this compares to RAG with LangChain (txtai was able to generate the correct answer given it preserves table formatting): https://lnkd.in/evv_7gi6

πŸ’₯ 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. See how this compares to Chroma DB (txtai is 3x faster for the same dataset): https://lnkd.in/eY_nMA85

A fundamental part of any RAG solution is the data source. txtai is an all-in-one embeddings database with support for storing data as local file-based indexes. Did you know that txtai has built-in support for storing these indexes as a Hugging Face model and cloud storage such as with AWS S3 buckets? These composable indexes can be built and shared for RAG. https://lnkd.in/eMGY7uRB A couple example datasets are linked below. txtai-wikipedia: https://lnkd.in/eQz5dKtG txtai-arxiv: https://lnkd.in/eSCCs-Jz

Is Postgres all you need? Is a vector just a data type? That's a tough question. On one hand, dedicated vector databases have a lot of catching up to do in terms of almost 30 years of functionality. On the other, there are advantages to reimagining the architecture factoring in all we know in 2024. The good news with txtai is that it's capable of working with multiple setups. It can persist data to Postgres. It can store data in Faiss + SQLite. It can also integrate content with other vector databases. The idea is to have everything needed to get started fast and be flexible to change as the requirements and landscape evolves. https://lnkd.in/dxWDeey

One unique feature of txtai is it's ability to mix and match vector, content, graph and keyword index systems together. Out of the box, local defaults are set to get up and running fast. But txtai provides a high level of flexibility in integrating different components together. It also provides it's own SQL dialect for querying regardless of the underlying choices made. The architecture is designed to make it easy to add new file formats and integrations. https://lnkd.in/edem7iNX

txtai is developed in the open. The full project history and design decisions are documented. What tests run and all code is easily accessible. Documentation is a priority and examples are provided for all major features. There are no secrets. It takes courage to develop with this level of transparency. We're proud of our code quality, design decisions and code consistency. There is no "just get it done and we'll fix it later" mentality here. https://lnkd.in/dxWDeey
