RAG Demo

English | 简体中文(Simplified Chinese)

Introduction

RAG is a demonstration project for a question-answering system based on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

• It utilizes large language models such as GPT-3.5 in conjunction with a document retrieval vector database like Weaviate to respond to user queries by retrieving relevant document contexts and leveraging the generative capabilities of the language model.
• The project also includes a web-based interactive application built with Gradio and rag_demo.py.

rag_demo.py Features

• Supports loading OpenAI API keys via environment variables.
• Facilitates loading local documents and splitting them into chunks.
• Allows for the creation of a vector store and the conversion of document chunks into vectors for storage in Weaviate.
• Sets up a Retrieval-Augmented Generation process, combining document retrieval and language model generation to answer user questions.
• Executes queries and prints results, with the option to use the RAG process or not.

app.py Features

• Creates a Gradio application where users can input questions and the application employs the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) model to find answers, displaying results within the interface.
• Retrieved contexts are highlighted in the Markdown document to help users understand the source of the answers. The application interface is divided into two sections: the top for Q&A and the bottom to display the contexts referred to by the RAG model.

How to Use

1. Clone the project to your local machine.
2. Install dependencies.

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

3. Create a .env file in the project root directory and add your OpenAI API key:

OPENAI_API_KEY='your API key'
QUESTION_LANG='cn' # The language of the question, currently available option is 'cn'

4. Ensure you have available documents as context or use the commented-out code snippet to download the documents you want to reference.
5. Run the python3 -u rag_demo.py file to start using the application.

Example

# The difference between rag_demo.py and rag_demo_v0.py is that it can output the retrieved document chunks.
if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Assuming documents are already present locally
    file_path = './documents/LightZero_README.zh.md'
    # Load and split document
    chunks = load_and_split_document(file_path)
    # Create vector store
    retriever = create_vector_store(chunks)
    # Set up RAG process
    rag_chain = setup_rag_chain()
    
    # Pose a question and get an answer
    query = "Does the AlphaZero algorithm implemented in LightZero support running in the Atari environment? Please explain in detail."
    # Use RAG chain to get referenced documents and answer
    retrieved_documents, result_with_rag = execute_query(retriever, rag_chain, query)
    # Get an answer without using RAG chain
    result_without_rag = execute_query_no_rag(query=query)
    
    # Details of data handling code are omitted here, please refer to the source files in this repository for specifics
    
    # Print and compare results from both methods
    print("=" * 40)
    print(f"My question is:\n{query}")
    print("=" * 40)
    print(f"Result with RAG:\n{wrapped_result_with_rag}\nRetrieved context is: \n{context}")
    print("=" * 40)
    print(f"Result without RAG:\n{wrapped_result_without_rag}")
    print("=" * 40)
