Self-querying with Weaviate#
Creating a Weaviate vectorstore#
First we’ll want to create a Weaviate VectorStore and seed it with some data. We’ve created a small demo set of documents that contain summaries of movies.
NOTE: The self-query retriever requires you to have lark installed (pip install lark). We also need the weaviate-client package.
#!pip install lark weaviate-client
from langchain.schema import Document
from langchain.embeddings.openai import OpenAIEmbeddings
from langchain.vectorstores import Weaviate
import os
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
docs = [
    Document(page_content="A bunch of scientists bring back dinosaurs and mayhem breaks loose", metadata={"year": 1993, "rating": 7.7, "genre": "science fiction"}),
    Document(page_content="Leo DiCaprio gets lost in a dream within a dream within a dream within a ...", metadata={"year": 2010, "director": "Christopher Nolan", "rating": 8.2}),
    Document(page_content="A psychologist / detective gets lost in a series of dreams within dreams within dreams and Inception reused the idea", metadata={"year": 2006, "director": "Satoshi Kon", "rating": 8.6}),
    Document(page_content="A bunch of normal-sized women are supremely wholesome and some men pine after them", metadata={"year": 2019, "director": "Greta Gerwig", "rating": 8.3}),
Document(page_content="Toys come alive and have a blast doing so", metadata={"year": 1995, "genre": "animated"}),
    Document(page_content="Three men walk into the Zone, three men walk out of the Zone", metadata={"year": 1979, "rating": 9.9, "director": "Andrei Tarkovsky", "genre": "science fiction", "rating": 9.9})
]
vectorstore = Weaviate.from_documents(
    docs, embeddings, weaviate_url="http://127.0.0.1:8080"
)
Creating our self-querying retriever#
Now we can instantiate our retriever. To do this we’ll need to provide some information upfront about the metadata fields that our documents support and a short description of the document contents.
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
from langchain.retrievers.self_query.base import SelfQueryRetriever
from langchain.chains.query_constructor.base import AttributeInfo
metadata_field_info=[
    AttributeInfo(
        name="genre",
        description="The genre of the movie", 
        type="string or list[string]", 
    ),
    AttributeInfo(
        name="year",
        description="The year the movie was released", 
        type="integer", 
    ),
    AttributeInfo(
        name="director",
        description="The name of the movie director", 
        type="string", 
    ),
    AttributeInfo(
        name="rating",
        description="A 1-10 rating for the movie",
        type="float"
    ),
]
document_content_description = "Brief summary of a movie"
llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)
llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)
retriever = SelfQueryRetriever.from_llm(llm, vectorstore, document_content_description, metadata_field_info, verbose=True)
Testing it out#
And now we can try actually using our retriever!
# This example only specifies a relevant query
retriever.get_relevant_documents("What are some movies about dinosaurs")
query='dinosaur' filter=None limit=None
[Document(page_content='A bunch of scientists bring back dinosaurs and mayhem breaks loose', metadata={'genre': 'science fiction', 'rating': 7.7, 'year': 1993}),
 Document(page_content='Toys come alive and have a blast doing so', metadata={'genre': 'animated', 'rating': None, 'year': 1995}),
 Document(page_content='Three men walk into the Zone, three men walk out of the Zone', metadata={'genre': 'science fiction', 'rating': 9.9, 'year': 1979}),
 Document(page_content='A psychologist / detective gets lost in a series of dreams within dreams within dreams and Inception reused the idea', metadata={'genre': None, 'rating': 8.6, 'year': 2006})]
# This example specifies a query and a filter
retriever.get_relevant_documents("Has Greta Gerwig directed any movies about women")
query='women' filter=Comparison(comparator=<Comparator.EQ: 'eq'>, attribute='director', value='Greta Gerwig') limit=None
[Document(page_content='A bunch of normal-sized women are supremely wholesome and some men pine after them', metadata={'genre': None, 'rating': 8.3, 'year': 2019})]
Filter k#
We can also use the self query retriever to specify k: the number of documents to fetch.
We can also use the self query retriever to specify k: the number of documents to fetch.
We can do this by passing enable_limit=True to the constructor.
retriever = SelfQueryRetriever.from_llm(
    llm, 
    vectorstore, 
    document_content_description, 
    metadata_field_info, 
    enable_limit=True,
    verbose=True
)
# This example only specifies a relevant query
retriever.get_relevant_documents("what are two movies about dinosaurs")
query='dinosaur' filter=None limit=2
[Document(page_content='A bunch of scientists bring back dinosaurs and mayhem breaks loose', metadata={'genre': 'science fiction', 'rating': 7.7, 'year': 1993}),
 Document(page_content='Toys come alive and have a blast doing so', metadata={'genre': 'animated', 'rating': None, 'year': 1995})]
