## 🎉 News
- [x] [2024.10.15]🎯🎯📢📢LightRAG now supports Hugging Face models!
## Install
* Install from source
```bash
cd LightRAG
pip install -e .
```
* Install from PyPI
```bash
pip install lightrag-hku
```
## Quick Start
* Set OpenAI API key in environment if using OpenAI models: `export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-...".`
* Download the demo text "A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens":
```bash
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gusye1234/nano-graphrag/main/tests/mock_data.txt > ./book.txt
```
Use the below Python snippet to initialize LightRAG and perform queries:
```python
from lightrag import LightRAG, QueryParam
from lightrag.llm import gpt_4o_mini_complete, gpt_4o_complete
WORKING_DIR = "./dickens"
if not os.path.exists(WORKING_DIR):
os.mkdir(WORKING_DIR)
rag = LightRAG(
working_dir=WORKING_DIR,
llm_model_func=gpt_4o_mini_complete # Use gpt_4o_mini_complete LLM model
# llm_model_func=gpt_4o_complete # Optionally, use a stronger model
)
with open("./book.txt") as f:
rag.insert(f.read())
# Perform naive search
print(rag.query("What are the top themes in this story?", param=QueryParam(mode="naive")))
# Perform local search
print(rag.query("What are the top themes in this story?", param=QueryParam(mode="local")))
# Perform global search
print(rag.query("What are the top themes in this story?", param=QueryParam(mode="global")))
# Perform hybrid search
print(rag.query("What are the top themes in this story?", param=QueryParam(mode="hybrid")))
```
### Using Hugging Face Models
If you want to use Hugging Face models, you only need to set LightRAG as follows:
```python
from lightrag.llm import hf_model_complete, hf_embedding
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
# Initialize LightRAG with Hugging Face model
rag = LightRAG(
working_dir=WORKING_DIR,
llm_model_func=hf_model_complete, # Use Hugging Face complete model for text generation
llm_model_name='meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct', # Model name from Hugging Face
# Use Hugging Face embedding function
embedding_func=EmbeddingFunc(
embedding_dim=384,
max_token_size=5000,
func=lambda texts: hf_embedding(
texts,
tokenizer=AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2"),
embed_model=AutoModel.from_pretrained("sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2")
)
),
)
```
### Batch Insert
```python
# Batch Insert: Insert multiple texts at once
rag.insert(["TEXT1", "TEXT2",...])
```
### Incremental Insert
```python
# Incremental Insert: Insert new documents into an existing LightRAG instance
rag = LightRAG(working_dir="./dickens")
with open("./newText.txt") as f:
rag.insert(f.read())
```
## Evaluation
### Dataset
The dataset used in LightRAG can be download from [TommyChien/UltraDomain](https://huggingface.co/datasets/TommyChien/UltraDomain).
### Generate Query
LightRAG uses the following prompt to generate high-level queries, with the corresponding code located in `example/generate_query.py`.
```python
Given the following description of a dataset:
{description}
Please identify 5 potential users who would engage with this dataset. For each user, list 5 tasks they would perform with this dataset. Then, for each (user, task) combination, generate 5 questions that require a high-level understanding of the entire dataset.
Output the results in the following structure:
- User 1: [user description]
- Task 1: [task description]
- Question 1:
- Question 2:
- Question 3:
- Question 4:
- Question 5:
- Task 2: [task description]
...
- Task 5: [task description]
- User 2: [user description]
...
- User 5: [user description]
...
```
### Batch Eval
To evaluate the performance of two RAG systems on high-level queries, LightRAG uses the following prompt, with the specific code available in `example/batch_eval.py`.
```python
---Role---
You are an expert tasked with evaluating two answers to the same question based on three criteria: **Comprehensiveness**, **Diversity**, and **Empowerment**.
---Goal---
You will evaluate two answers to the same question based on three criteria: **Comprehensiveness**, **Diversity**, and **Empowerment**.
- **Comprehensiveness**: How much detail does the answer provide to cover all aspects and details of the question?
- **Diversity**: How varied and rich is the answer in providing different perspectives and insights on the question?
- **Empowerment**: How well does the answer help the reader understand and make informed judgments about the topic?
For each criterion, choose the better answer (either Answer 1 or Answer 2) and explain why. Then, select an overall winner based on these three categories.
Here is the question:
{query}
Here are the two answers:
**Answer 1:**
{answer1}
**Answer 2:**
{answer2}
Evaluate both answers using the three criteria listed above and provide detailed explanations for each criterion.
Output your evaluation in the following JSON format:
{{
"Comprehensiveness": {{
"Winner": "[Answer 1 or Answer 2]",
"Explanation": "[Provide explanation here]"
}},
"Empowerment": {{
"Winner": "[Answer 1 or Answer 2]",
"Explanation": "[Provide explanation here]"
}},
"Overall Winner": {{
"Winner": "[Answer 1 or Answer 2]",
"Explanation": "[Summarize why this answer is the overall winner based on the three criteria]"
}}
}}
```

## Reproduce
All the code can be found in the `./reproduce` directory.
### Step-0 Extract Unique Contexts
First, we need to extract unique contexts in the datasets.
```python
def extract_unique_contexts(input_directory, output_directory):
os.makedirs(output_directory, exist_ok=True)
jsonl_files = glob.glob(os.path.join(input_directory, '*.jsonl'))
print(f"Found {len(jsonl_files)} JSONL files.")
for file_path in jsonl_files:
filename = os.path.basename(file_path)
name, ext = os.path.splitext(filename)
output_filename = f"{name}_unique_contexts.json"
output_path = os.path.join(output_directory, output_filename)
unique_contexts_dict = {}
print(f"Processing file: {filename}")
try:
with open(file_path, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as infile:
for line_number, line in enumerate(infile, start=1):
line = line.strip()
if not line:
continue
try:
json_obj = json.loads(line)
context = json_obj.get('context')
if context and context not in unique_contexts_dict:
unique_contexts_dict[context] = None
except json.JSONDecodeError as e:
print(f"JSON decoding error in file {filename} at line {line_number}: {e}")
except FileNotFoundError:
print(f"File not found: {filename}")
continue
except Exception as e:
print(f"An error occurred while processing file {filename}: {e}")
continue
unique_contexts_list = list(unique_contexts_dict.keys())
print(f"There are {len(unique_contexts_list)} unique `context` entries in the file {filename}.")
try:
with open(output_path, 'w', encoding='utf-8') as outfile:
json.dump(unique_contexts_list, outfile, ensure_ascii=False, indent=4)
print(f"Unique `context` entries have been saved to: {output_filename}")
except Exception as e:
print(f"An error occurred while saving to the file {output_filename}: {e}")
print("All files have been processed.")
```
### Step-1 Insert Contexts
For the extracted contexts, we insert them into the LightRAG system.
```python
def insert_text(rag, file_path):
with open(file_path, mode='r') as f:
unique_contexts = json.load(f)
retries = 0
max_retries = 3
while retries < max_retries:
try:
rag.insert(unique_contexts)
break
except Exception as e:
retries += 1
print(f"Insertion failed, retrying ({retries}/{max_retries}), error: {e}")
time.sleep(10)
if retries == max_retries:
print("Insertion failed after exceeding the maximum number of retries")
```
### Step-2 Generate Queries
We extract tokens from both the first half and the second half of each context in the dataset, then combine them as the dataset description to generate queries.
```python
tokenizer = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained('gpt2')
def get_summary(context, tot_tokens=2000):
tokens = tokenizer.tokenize(context)
half_tokens = tot_tokens // 2
start_tokens = tokens[1000:1000 + half_tokens]
end_tokens = tokens[-(1000 + half_tokens):1000]
summary_tokens = start_tokens + end_tokens
summary = tokenizer.convert_tokens_to_string(summary_tokens)
return summary
```
### Step-3 Query
For the queries generated in Step-2, we will extract them and query LightRAG.
```python
def extract_queries(file_path):
with open(file_path, 'r') as f:
data = f.read()
data = data.replace('**', '')
queries = re.findall(r'- Question \d+: (.+)', data)
return queries
```
