Summarization#
This notebook walks through how to use LangChain for summarization over a list of documents. It covers three different chain types: stuff, map_reduce, and refine. For a more in depth explanation of what these chain types are, see here.
Prepare Data#
First we prepare the data. For this example we create multiple documents from one long one, but these documents could be fetched in any manner (the point of this notebook to highlight what to do AFTER you fetch the documents).
from langchain import OpenAI, PromptTemplate, LLMChain
from langchain.text_splitter import CharacterTextSplitter
from langchain.chains.mapreduce import MapReduceChain
from langchain.prompts import PromptTemplate
llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)
text_splitter = CharacterTextSplitter()
with open("../../state_of_the_union.txt") as f:
    state_of_the_union = f.read()
texts = text_splitter.split_text(state_of_the_union)
from langchain.docstore.document import Document
docs = [Document(page_content=t) for t in texts[:3]]
from langchain.chains.summarize import load_summarize_chain
Quickstart#
If you just want to get started as quickly as possible, this is the recommended way to do it:
chain = load_summarize_chain(llm, chain_type="map_reduce")
chain.run(docs)


chain.run(docs)
' In response to Russian aggression in Ukraine, the United States and its allies are taking action to hold Putin accountable, including economic sanctions, asset seizures, and military assistance. The US is also providing economic and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, and has passed the American Rescue Plan and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help struggling families and create jobs. The US remains unified and determined to protect Ukraine and the free world.'
If you want more control and understanding over what is happening, please see the information below.
The stuff Chain#
This sections shows results of using the stuff Chain to do summarization.
chain = load_summarize_chain(llm, chain_type="stuff")
chain.run(docs)
' In his speech, President Biden addressed the crisis in Ukraine, the American Rescue Plan, and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. He discussed the need to invest in America, educate Americans, and build the economy from the bottom up. He also announced the release of 60 million barrels of oil from reserves around the world, and the creation of a dedicated task force to go after the crimes of Russian oligarchs. He concluded by emphasizing the need to Buy American and use taxpayer dollars to rebuild America.'
Custom Prompts
You can also use your own prompts with this chain. In this example, we will respond in Italian.
prompt_template = """Write a concise summary of the following:
{text}
CONCISE SUMMARY IN ITALIAN:"""
PROMPT = PromptTemplate(template=prompt_template, input_variables=["text"])
chain = load_summarize_chain(llm, chain_type="stuff", prompt=PROMPT)
chain.run(docs)

"\n\nIn questa serata, il Presidente degli Stati Uniti ha annunciato una serie di misure per affrontare la crisi in Ucraina, causata dall'aggressione di Putin.

Inoltre, ha annunciato che il Dipartimento di Giustizia degli Stati Uniti sta creando una task force dedicata ai crimini degli oligarchi russi. Il Presidente ha anche annunciato l'approvazione della legge bipartitica sull'infrastruttura, che prevede investimenti per la ricostruzione dell'America. Questo porterà a creare posti"
The map_reduce Chain#
This sections shows results of using the map_reduce Chain to do summarization.
chain = load_summarize_chain(llm, chain_type="map_reduce")
chain.run(docs)
" In response to Russia's aggression in Ukraine, the United States and its allies have imposed economic sanctions and are taking other measures to hold Putin accountable. The US is also providing economic and military assistance to Ukraine, protecting NATO countries, and releasing oil from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve. President Biden and Vice President Harris have passed legislation to help struggling families and rebuild America's infrastructure."
Intermediate Steps
We can also return the intermediate steps for map_reduce chains, should we want to inspect them. This is done with the return_map_steps variable.


chain = load_summarize_chain(OpenAI(temperature=0), chain_type="map_reduce", return_intermediate_steps=True)
chain({"input_documents": docs}, return_only_outputs=True)
{'map_steps': [" In response to Russia's aggression in Ukraine, the United States has united with other freedom-loving nations to impose economic sanctions and hold Putin accountable.

  ' The United States and its European allies are taking action to punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, including seizing assets, closing off airspace, and providing economic and military assistance to Ukraine. The US is also mobilizing forces to protect NATO countries and has released 30 million barrels of oil from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve to help blunt gas prices. The world is uniting in support of Ukraine and democracy, and the US stands with its Ukrainian-American citizens.',
  " President Biden and Vice President Harris ran for office with a new economic vision for America, and have since passed the American Rescue Plan and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help struggling families and rebuild America's infrastructure. This includes creating jobs, modernizing roads, airports, ports, and waterways, replacing lead pipes, providing affordable high-speed internet, and investing in American products to support American jobs."],

Retrieval Question/Answering#
This example showcases question answering over an index.

from langchain.chains import RetrievalQA

text_splitter = CharacterTextSplitter(chunk_size=1000, chunk_overlap=0)
texts = text_splitter.split_documents(documents)
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
docsearch = Chroma.from_documents(texts, embeddings)
Running Chroma using direct local API.
Using DuckDB in-memory for database. Data will be transient.
qa = RetrievalQA.from_chain_type(llm=OpenAI(), chain_type="stuff", retriever=docsearch.as_retriever())
query = "What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson"
qa.run(query)
" The president said that she is one of the nation's top legal minds, a former top litigator in private practice, a former federal public defender, and from a family of public school educators and police officers. He also said that she is a consensus builder and has received a broad range of support, from the Fraternal Order of Police to former judges appointed by Democrats and Republicans."
Chain Type#
You can easily specify different chain types to load and use in the RetrievalQA chain. For a more detailed walkthrough of these types, please see this notebook.


There are two ways to load different chain types. First, you can specify the chain type argument in the from_chain_type method. This allows you to pass in the name of the chain type you want to use. For example, in the below we change the chain type to map_reduce.
qa = RetrievalQA.from_chain_type(llm=OpenAI(), chain_type="map_reduce", retriever=docsearch.as_retriever())
query = "What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson"
qa.run(query)
" The president said that Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is one of our nation's top legal minds, a former top litigator in private practice and a former federal public defender, from a family of public school educators and police officers, a consensus builder and has received a broad range of support from the Fraternal Order of Police to former judges appointed by Democrats and Republicans."
The above way allows you to really simply change the chain_type, but it does provide a ton of flexibility over parameters to that chain type. If you want to control those parameters, you can load the chain directly (as you did in this notebook) and then pass that directly to the the RetrievalQA chain with the combine_documents_chain parameter. For example:
from langchain.chains.question_answering import load_qa_chain
qa_chain = load_qa_chain(OpenAI(temperature=0), chain_type="stuff")
qa = RetrievalQA(combine_documents_chain=qa_chain, retriever=docsearch.as_retriever())
query = "What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson"
qa.run(query)


query = "What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson"
qa.run(query)
" The president said that Ketanji Brown Jackson is one of the nation's top legal minds, a former top litigator in private practice, a former federal public defender, and from a family of public school educators and police officers. He also said that she is a consensus builder and has received a broad range of support from the Fraternal Order of Police to former judges appointed by Democrats and Republicans."
Custom Prompts#
You can pass in custom prompts to do question answering. These prompts are the same prompts as you can pass into the base question answering chain
from langchain.prompts import PromptTemplate
prompt_template = """Use the following pieces of context to answer the question at the end. If you don't know the answer, just say that you don't know, don't try to make up an answer.

" Il presidente ha detto che Ketanji Brown Jackson è una delle menti legali più importanti del paese, che continuerà l'eccellenza di Justice Breyer e che ha ricevuto un ampio sostegno, da Fraternal Order of Police a ex giudici nominati da democratici e repubblicani."
Return Source Documents#


Return Source Documents#
Additionally, we can return the source documents used to answer the question by specifying an optional parameter when constructing the chain.

Chain Type#


'sources': '31-pl'}
Chain Type#
You can easily specify different chain types to load and use in the RetrievalQAWithSourcesChain chain. For a more detailed walkthrough of these types, please see this notebook.
There are two ways to load different chain types. First, you can specify the chain type argument in the from_chain_type method. This allows you to pass in the name of the chain type you want to use. For example, in the below we change the chain type to map_reduce.
chain = RetrievalQAWithSourcesChain.from_chain_type(OpenAI(temperature=0), chain_type="map_reduce", retriever=docsearch.as_retriever())
chain({"question": "What did the president say about Justice Breyer"}, return_only_outputs=True)
{'answer': ' The president said "Justice Breyer—an Army veteran, Constitutional scholar, and retiring Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Justice Breyer, thank you for your service."\n',
 'sources': '31-pl'}
The above way allows you to really simply change the chain_type, but it does provide a ton of flexibility over parameters to that chain type. If you want to control those parameters, you can load the chain directly (as you did in this notebook) and then pass that directly to the the RetrievalQAWithSourcesChain chain with the combine_documents_chain parameter. For example:
from langchain.chains.qa_with_sources import load_qa_with_sources_chain
qa_chain = load_qa_with_sources_chain(OpenAI(temperature=0), chain_type="stuff")
qa = RetrievalQAWithSourcesChain(combine_documents_chain=qa_chain, retriever=docsearch.as_retriever())
qa({"question": "What did the president say about Justice Breyer"}, return_only_outputs=True)


{'answer': ' The president honored Justice Breyer for his service and mentioned his legacy of excellence.\n',
 'sources': '31-pl'}

Vector DB Text Generation#
This notebook walks through how to use LangChain for text generation over a vector index. This is useful if we want to generate text that is able to draw from a large body of custom text, for example, generating blog posts that have an understanding of previous blog posts written, or product tutorials that can refer to product documentation.
Prepare Data#
First, we prepare the data. For this example, we fetch a documentation site that consists of markdown files hosted on Github and split them into small enough Documents.
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
from langchain.docstore.document import Document
import requests
from langchain.embeddings.openai import OpenAIEmbeddings
from langchain.vectorstores import Chroma
from langchain.text_splitter import CharacterTextSplitter
from langchain.prompts import PromptTemplate
import pathlib
import subprocess
import tempfile
def get_github_docs(repo_owner, repo_name):
    with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d:
        subprocess.check_call(
            f"git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/{repo_owner}/{repo_name}.git .",
            cwd=d,
            shell=True,
        )
        git_sha = (
            subprocess.check_output("git rev-parse HEAD", shell=True, cwd=d)
            .decode("utf-8")
            .strip()
        )
        repo_path = pathlib.Path(d)
        markdown_files = list(repo_path.glob("*/*.md")) + list(
            repo_path.glob("*/*.mdx")
        )
        for markdown_file in markdown_files:
            with open(markdown_file, "r") as f:
                relative_path = markdown_file.relative_to(repo_path)


relative_path = markdown_file.relative_to(repo_path)
                github_url = f"https://github.com/{repo_owner}/{repo_name}/blob/{git_sha}/{relative_path}"
                yield Document(page_content=f.read(), metadata={"source": github_url})
sources = get_github_docs("yirenlu92", "deno-manual-forked")
source_chunks = []
splitter = CharacterTextSplitter(separator=" ", chunk_size=1024, chunk_overlap=0)
for source in sources:
    for chunk in splitter.split_text(source.page_content):
        source_chunks.append(Document(page_content=chunk, metadata=source.metadata))
Cloning into '.'...
Set Up Vector DB#
Now that we have the documentation content in chunks, let’s put all this information in a vector index for easy retrieval.
search_index = Chroma.from_documents(source_chunks, OpenAIEmbeddings())
Set Up LLM Chain with Custom Prompt#
Next, let’s set up a simple LLM chain but give it a custom prompt for blog post generation. Note that the custom prompt is parameterized and takes two inputs: context, which will be the documents fetched from the vector search, and topic, which is given by the user.
from langchain.chains import LLMChain
prompt_template = """Use the context below to write a 400 word blog post about the topic below:
    Context: {context}
    Topic: {topic}
    Blog post:"""
PROMPT = PromptTemplate(
    template=prompt_template, input_variables=["context", "topic"]
)
llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)
chain = LLMChain(llm=llm, prompt=PROMPT)
Generate Text#


chain = LLMChain(llm=llm, prompt=PROMPT)
Generate Text#
Finally, we write a function to apply our inputs to the chain. The function takes an input parameter topic. We find the documents in the vector index that correspond to that topic, and use them as additional context in our simple LLM chain.
def generate_blog_post(topic):
    docs = search_index.similarity_search(topic, k=4)
    inputs = [{"context": doc.page_content, "topic": topic} for doc in docs]
    print(chain.apply(inputs))
generate_blog_post("environment variables")

It has getter and setter methods, so you can easily set and retrieve environment variables. For example, you can set the `FIREBASE_API_KEY` and `FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN` environment variables like this:\n\n```ts\nDeno.env.set("FIREBASE_API_KEY", "examplekey123");\nDeno.env.set("FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN", "firebasedomain.com");\n\nconsole.log(Deno.env.get("FIREBASE_API_KEY")); // examplekey123\nconsole.log(Deno.env.get("FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN")); // firebasedomain.com\n```\n\nYou can also store environment variables in a `.env` file.

This can be used to set any number of environment variables before running a command. For example, if we wanted to set the environment variable `VAR` to `hello` before running a Deno command, we could do so like this:\n\n```\nVAR=hello deno run main.ts\n```\n\nThis will set the environment variable `VAR` to `hello` before running the command.

Document Loaders#
Note
Conceptual Guide
Combining language models with your own text data is a powerful way to differentiate them.
The first step in doing this is to load the data into “documents” - a fancy way of say some pieces of text.
This module is aimed at making this easy.
A primary driver of a lot of this is the Unstructured python package.
This package is a great way to transform all types of files - text, powerpoint, images, html, pdf, etc - into text data.
For detailed instructions on how to get set up with Unstructured, see installation guidelines here.

One Line Index Creation
Walkthrough
Getting Started#
LangChain primary focuses on constructing indexes with the goal of using them as a Retriever. In order to best understand what this means, it’s worth highlighting what the base Retriever interface is. The BaseRetriever class in LangChain is as follows:
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
from typing import List
from langchain.schema import Document
class BaseRetriever(ABC):
    @abstractmethod
    def get_relevant_documents(self, query: str) -> List[Document]:
        """Get texts relevant for a query.
        Args:
            query: string to find relevant texts for
        Returns:
            List of relevant documents
        """
It’s that simple! The get_relevant_documents method can be implemented however you see fit.
Of course, we also help construct what we think useful Retrievers are. The main type of Retriever that we focus on is a Vectorstore retriever. We will focus on that for the rest of this guide.
In order to understand what a vectorstore retriever is, it’s important to understand what a Vectorstore is. So let’s look at that.
By default, LangChain uses Chroma as the vectorstore to index and search embeddings. To walk through this tutorial, we’ll first need to install chromadb.
pip install chromadb
This example showcases question answering over documents.
We have chosen this as the example for getting started because it nicely combines a lot of different elements (Text splitters, embeddings, vectorstores) and then also shows how to use them in a chain.
Question answering over documents consists of four steps:
Create an index
Create a Retriever from that index
Create a question answering chain
Ask questions!


Create a Retriever from that index
Create a question answering chain
Ask questions!
Each of the steps has multiple sub steps and potential configurations. In this notebook we will primarily focus on (1). We will start by showing the one-liner for doing so, but then break down what is actually going on.
First, let’s import some common classes we’ll use no matter what.
from langchain.chains import RetrievalQA
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
Next in the generic setup, let’s specify the document loader we want to use. You can download the state_of_the_union.txt file here
from langchain.document_loaders import TextLoader
loader = TextLoader('../state_of_the_union.txt', encoding='utf8')
One Line Index Creation#
To get started as quickly as possible, we can use the VectorstoreIndexCreator.
from langchain.indexes import VectorstoreIndexCreator
index = VectorstoreIndexCreator().from_loaders([loader])
Running Chroma using direct local API.
Using DuckDB in-memory for database. Data will be transient.
Now that the index is created, we can use it to ask questions of the data! Note that under the hood this is actually doing a few steps as well, which we will cover later in this guide.
query = "What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson"
index.query(query)
" The president said that Ketanji Brown Jackson is one of the nation's top legal minds, a former top litigator in private practice, a former federal public defender, and from a family of public school educators and police officers. He also said that she is a consensus builder and has received a broad range of support from the Fraternal Order of Police to former judges appointed by Democrats and Republicans."
query = "What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson"
index.query_with_sources(query)


index.query_with_sources(query)
{'question': 'What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson',
 'answer': " The president said that he nominated Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, one of the nation's top legal minds, to continue Justice Breyer's legacy of excellence, and that she has received a broad range of support from the Fraternal Order of Police to former judges appointed by Democrats and Republicans.\n",
 'sources': '../state_of_the_union.txt'}
What is returned from the VectorstoreIndexCreator is VectorStoreIndexWrapper, which provides these nice query and query_with_sources functionality. If we just wanted to access the vectorstore directly, we can also do that.
index.vectorstore
<langchain.vectorstores.chroma.Chroma at 0x119aa5940>
If we then want to access the VectorstoreRetriever, we can do that with:
index.vectorstore.as_retriever()
VectorStoreRetriever(vectorstore=<langchain.vectorstores.chroma.Chroma object at 0x119aa5940>, search_kwargs={})
Walkthrough#
Okay, so what’s actually going on? How is this index getting created?
A lot of the magic is being hid in this VectorstoreIndexCreator. What is this doing?
There are three main steps going on after the documents are loaded:
Splitting documents into chunks
Creating embeddings for each document
Storing documents and embeddings in a vectorstore
Let’s walk through this in code
documents = loader.load()
Next, we will split the documents into chunks.
from langchain.text_splitter import CharacterTextSplitter
text_splitter = CharacterTextSplitter(chunk_size=1000, chunk_overlap=0)
texts = text_splitter.split_documents(documents)
We will then select which embeddings we want to use.


We will then select which embeddings we want to use.
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
We now create the vectorstore to use as the index.
from langchain.vectorstores import Chroma
db = Chroma.from_documents(texts, embeddings)
Running Chroma using direct local API.
Using DuckDB in-memory for database. Data will be transient.
So that’s creating the index. Then, we expose this index in a retriever interface.
retriever = db.as_retriever()
Then, as before, we create a chain and use it to answer questions!
qa = RetrievalQA.from_chain_type(llm=OpenAI(), chain_type="stuff", retriever=retriever)
query = "What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson"
qa.run(query)
" The President said that Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is one of the nation's top legal minds, a former top litigator in private practice, a former federal public defender, and from a family of public school educators and police officers. He said she is a consensus builder and has received a broad range of support from organizations such as the Fraternal Order of Police and former judges appointed by Democrats and Republicans."
VectorstoreIndexCreator is just a wrapper around all this logic. It is configurable in the text splitter it uses, the embeddings it uses, and the vectorstore it uses. For example, you can configure it as below:
index_creator = VectorstoreIndexCreator(
    vectorstore_cls=Chroma,
    embedding=OpenAIEmbeddings(),
    text_splitter=CharacterTextSplitter(chunk_size=1000, chunk_overlap=0)
)


)
Hopefully this highlights what is going on under the hood of VectorstoreIndexCreator. While we think it’s important to have a simple way to create indexes, we also think it’s important to understand what’s going on under the hood.

Text Splitters
Text Splitters#
Note
Conceptual Guide
When you want to deal with long pieces of text, it is necessary to split up that text into chunks.
As simple as this sounds, there is a lot of potential complexity here. Ideally, you want to keep the semantically related pieces of text together. What “semantically related” means could depend on the type of text.
This notebook showcases several ways to do that.
At a high level, text splitters work as following:
Split the text up into small, semantically meaningful chunks (often sentences).
Start combining these small chunks into a larger chunk until you reach a certain size (as measured by some function).
Once you reach that size, make that chunk its own piece of text and then start creating a new chunk of text with some overlap (to keep context between chunks).
That means there two different axes along which you can customize your text splitter:
How the text is split
How the chunk size is measured
For an introduction to the default text splitter and generic functionality see:

We also have documentation for all the types of text splitters that are supported.

Apify Dataset
 Contents
Prerequisites
An example with question answering
Apify Dataset#
This notebook shows how to load Apify datasets to LangChain.
Apify Dataset is a scaleable append-only storage with sequential access built for storing structured web scraping results, such as a list of products or Google SERPs, and then export them to various formats like JSON, CSV, or Excel. Datasets are mainly used to save results of Apify Actors—serverless cloud programs for varius web scraping, crawling, and data extraction use cases.
Prerequisites#
You need to have an existing dataset on the Apify platform. If you don’t have one, please first check out this notebook on how to use Apify to extract content from documentation, knowledge bases, help centers, or blogs.
First, import ApifyDatasetLoader into your source code:
from langchain.document_loaders import ApifyDatasetLoader
from langchain.document_loaders.base import Document
Then provide a function that maps Apify dataset record fields to LangChain Document format.
For example, if your dataset items are structured like this:
{
    "url": "https://apify.com",
    "text": "Apify is the best web scraping and automation platform."
}
The mapping function in the code below will convert them to LangChain Document format, so that you can use them further with any LLM model (e.g. for question answering).
loader = ApifyDatasetLoader(
    dataset_id="your-dataset-id",
    dataset_mapping_function=lambda dataset_item: Document(
        page_content=dataset_item["text"], metadata={"source": dataset_item["url"]}
    ),
)
data = loader.load()
An example with question answering#
In this example, we use data from a dataset to answer a question.
from langchain.docstore.document import Document


from langchain.docstore.document import Document
from langchain.document_loaders import ApifyDatasetLoader
from langchain.indexes import VectorstoreIndexCreator
loader = ApifyDatasetLoader(
    dataset_id="your-dataset-id",
    dataset_mapping_function=lambda item: Document(
        page_content=item["text"] or "", metadata={"source": item["url"]}
    ),
)
index = VectorstoreIndexCreator().from_loaders([loader])
query = "What is Apify?"
result = index.query_with_sources(query)
print(result["answer"])
print(result["sources"])
 Apify is a platform for developing, running, and sharing serverless cloud programs. It enables users to create web scraping and automation tools and publish them on the Apify platform.

Copy Paste#
This notebook covers how to load a document object from something you just want to copy and paste. In this case, you don’t even need to use a DocumentLoader, but rather can just construct the Document directly.
from langchain.docstore.document import Document
text = "..... put the text you copy pasted here......"
doc = Document(page_content=text)
Metadata#
If you want to add metadata about the where you got this piece of text, you easily can with the metadata key.
metadata = {"source": "internet", "date": "Friday"}
doc = Document(page_content=text, metadata=metadata)

Specify a column to be used identify the document source#
Use the source_column argument to specify a column to be set as the source for the document created from each row. Otherwise file_path will be used as the source for all documents created from the csv file.
This is useful when using documents loaded from CSV files for chains that answer questions using sources.
loader = CSVLoader(file_path='./example_data/mlb_teams_2012.csv', source_column="Team")
data = loader.load()
print(data)
