下面这个示例展示了如何在索引上进行问答：

from langchain.embeddings.openai import OpenAIEmbeddings
from langchain.vectorstores import Chroma
from langchain.text_splitter import CharacterTextSplitter
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
from langchain.chains import RetrievalQA
from langchain.document_loaders import TextLoader
loader = TextLoader("../../state_of_the_union.txt")
documents = loader.load()
text_splitter = CharacterTextSplitter(chunk_size=1000, chunk_overlap=0)
texts = text_splitter.split_documents(documents)embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
docsearch = Chroma.from_documents(texts, embeddings)

日志输出：

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)

输出：

" 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."

链的类型

我们可以指定不同的链的类型来加载和使用RetrievalQA链。有关这些类型的更详细说明可以参考《大模型从入门到应用——LangChain：链（Chains）-[链与索引：问答的基础知识]》。

有两种加载不同链的类型的方法。首先，我们可以在from_chain_type方法中指定链的类型参数。这允许我们传入要使用的链的类型的名称。例如，在下面的示例中，我们将链的类型更改为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)

输出：

" 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."

上述方法确实简单地更改了链的类型，但它对该链的类型的参数提供了很大的灵活性。如果我们想要控制这些参数，可以直接加载链式，然后将其直接传递给RetrievalQA链的combine_documents_chain参数，例如：

from langchain.chains.question_answering import load_qa_chainqa_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)

输出：

" 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."

自定义提示

我们可以传递自定义提示来进行问答，这些提示与我们可以传递给基础问答链的提示相同。

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.{context}Question: {question}
Answer in Italian:"""
PROMPT = PromptTemplate(template=prompt_template, input_variables=["context", "question"]
)
chain_type_kwargs = {"prompt": PROMPT}
qa = RetrievalQA.from_chain_type(llm=OpenAI(), chain_type="stuff", retriever=docsearch.as_retriever(), chain_type_kwargs=chain_type_kwargs)
query = "What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson"
qa.run(query)

输出：

" 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."

返回源文档

此外，我们可以通过在构建链式时指定一个可选参数来返回用于回答问题的源文档。

qa = RetrievalQA.from_chain_type(llm=OpenAI(), chain_type="stuff", retriever=docsearch.as_retriever(), return_source_documents=True)
query = "What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson"
result = qa({"query": query})
result["result"]

输出：

" The president said that Ketanji Brown Jackson is one of the 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, and that she has received a broad range of support from the Fraternal Order of Police to former judges appointed by Democrats and Republicans."

输入：

result["source_documents"]

输出：

使用源文档进行检索式问答

本节介绍了如何在索引上使用源文档进行问答。它通过使用RetrievalQAWithSourcesChain实现，该链式结构可以从索引中查找文档。

from langchain.embeddings.openai import OpenAIEmbeddings
from langchain.embeddings.cohere import CohereEmbeddings
from langchain.text_splitter import CharacterTextSplitter
from langchain.vectorstores.elastic_vector_search import ElasticVectorSearch
from langchain.vectorstores import Chromawith open("../../state_of_the_union.txt") as f:state_of_the_union = f.read()
text_splitter = CharacterTextSplitter(chunk_size=1000, chunk_overlap=0)
texts = text_splitter.split_text(state_of_the_union)embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
docsearch = Chroma.from_texts(texts, embeddings, metadatas=[{"source": f"{i}-pl"} for i in range(len(texts))])

日志输出：

Running Chroma using direct local API.
Using DuckDB in-memory for database. Data will be transient.

输入：

from langchain.chains import RetrievalQAWithSourcesChain
from langchain import OpenAIchain = RetrievalQAWithSourcesChain.from_chain_type(OpenAI(temperature=0), chain_type="stuff", retriever=docsearch.as_retriever())
chain({"question": "What did the president say about Justice Breyer"}, return_only_outputs=True)

输出：

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

链的类型

我们可以指定不同的链的类型，以在RetrievalQAWithSourcesChain链中加载和使用。有关这些类型的更详细说明，可以参考《大模型从入门到应用——LangChain：链（Chains）-[链与索引：图问答（Graph QA）和带来源的问答（Q&A with Sources）]》中带来源的问答的部分。

有两种加载不同链类型的方式。首先，我们可以在from_chain_type方法中指定链类型参数，这允许我们传递要使用的链类型的名称。例如，在下面的示例中，我们将链类型更改为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)

输出：

{'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'}

上述方法允许我们非常简单地更改链式类型，但它确实在链的类型的参数上提供了很大的灵活性。如果我们想控制这些参数，可以直接加载链式结构，然后使用combine_documents_chain参数将其直接传递给RetrievalQAWithSourcesChain链式结构：

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)

输出：

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