max_marginal_relevance_search_with_score_by_vector(embedding: List[float], k: int = 4, fetch_k: int = 20, lambda_mult: float = 0.5, filter: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, **kwargs: Any) → List[Tuple[Document, float]][source]¶
Return docs selected using the maximal marginal relevance with score

to embedding vector.

Maximal marginal relevance optimizes for similarity to query AND diversity

among selected documents.

Parameters

  • embedding (List[float]) – Embedding to look up documents similar to.

  • k (int) – Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.

  • fetch_k (int) – Number of Documents to fetch to pass to MMR algorithm. Defaults to 20.

  • lambda_mult (float) – Number between 0 and 1 that determines the degree of diversity among the results with 0 corresponding to maximum diversity and 1 to minimum diversity. Defaults to 0.5.

  • filter (Optional[Dict[str, str]]) – Filter by metadata. Defaults to None.

  • kwargs (Any) –

Returns

List of Documents selected by maximal marginal

relevance to the query and score for each.

Return type

List[Tuple[Document, float]]

search(query: str, search_type: str, **kwargs: Any) → List[Document]¶

Return docs most similar to query using a specified search type.

Parameters

  • query (str) – Input text

  • search_type (str) – Type of search to perform. Can be “similarity”, “mmr”, or “similarity_score_threshold”.

  • **kwargs (Any) – Arguments to pass to the search method.

Returns

List of Documents most similar to the query.

Raises

ValueError – If search_type is not one of “similarity”, “mmr”, or “similarity_score_threshold”.

Return type

List[Document]

Run similarity search with Kinetica with distance.

Parameters

  • query (str) – Query text to search for.

  • k (int) – Number of results to return. Defaults to 4.

  • filter (Optional[Dict[str, str]]) – Filter by metadata. Defaults to None.

  • kwargs (Any) –

Returns

List of Documents most similar to the query.

Return type

List[Document]

similarity_search_by_vector(embedding: List[float], k: int = 4, filter: Optional[dict] = None, **kwargs: Any) → List[Document][source]¶

Return docs most similar to embedding vector.

Parameters

  • embedding (List[float]) – Embedding to look up documents similar to.

  • k (int) – Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.

  • filter (Optional[Dict[str, str]]) – Filter by metadata. Defaults to None.

  • kwargs (Any) –

Returns

List of Documents most similar to the query vector.

Return type

List[Document]

similarity_search_with_relevance_scores(query: str, k: int = 4, **kwargs: Any) → List[Tuple[Document, float]]¶

Return docs and relevance scores in the range [0, 1].

0 is dissimilar, 1 is most similar.

Parameters

  • query (str) – Input text.

  • k (int) – Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.

  • **kwargs (Any) –

    kwargs to be passed to similarity search. Should include: score_threshold: Optional, a floating point value between 0 to 1 to

    filter the resulting set of retrieved docs.

Returns

List of Tuples of (doc, similarity_score).

Return type

List[Tuple[Document, float]]

similarity_search_with_score(query: str, k: int = 4, filter: Optional[dict] = None) → List[Tuple[Document, float]][source]¶

Return docs most similar to query.

Parameters

  • query (str) – Text to look up documents similar to.

  • k (int) – Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.

  • filter (Optional[Dict[str, str]]) – Filter by metadata. Defaults to None.

Returns

List of Documents most similar to the query and score for each

Return type

List[Tuple[Document, float]]

similarity_search_with_score_by_vector(embedding: List[float], k: int = 4, filter: Optional[dict] = None) → List[Tuple[Document, float]][source]¶
Parameters

  • embedding (List[float]) –

  • k (int) –

  • filter (Optional[dict]) –

Return type

List[Tuple[Document, float]]

streaming_upsert(items: Iterable[Document], /, batch_size: int, **kwargs: Any) → Iterator[UpsertResponse]¶

Beta

Added in 0.2.11. The API is subject to change.

Upsert documents in a streaming fashion.

Parameters

  • items (Iterable[Document]) – Iterable of Documents to add to the vectorstore.

  • batch_size (int) – The size of each batch to upsert.

  • kwargs (Any) – Additional keyword arguments. kwargs should only include parameters that are common to all documents. (e.g., timeout for indexing, retry policy, etc.) kwargs should not include ids to avoid ambiguous semantics. Instead, the ID should be provided as part of the Document object.

Yields

UpsertResponse – A response object that contains the list of IDs that were successfully added or updated in the vectorstore and the list of IDs that failed to be added or updated.

Return type

Iterator[UpsertResponse]

New in version 0.2.11.

upsert(items: Sequence[Document], /, **kwargs: Any) → UpsertResponse¶

Beta

Added in 0.2.11. The API is subject to change.

Add or update documents in the vectorstore.

The upsert functionality should utilize the ID field of the Document object if it is provided. If the ID is not provided, the upsert method is free to generate an ID for the document.

When an ID is specified and the document already exists in the vectorstore, the upsert method should update the document with the new data. If the document does not exist, the upsert method should add the document to the vectorstore.

Parameters

  • items (Sequence[Document]) – Sequence of Documents to add to the vectorstore.

  • kwargs (Any) – Additional keyword arguments.

Returns

A response object that contains the list of IDs that were successfully added or updated in the vectorstore and the list of IDs that failed to be added or updated.

Return type

UpsertResponse

New in version 0.2.11.
