自定义对话记忆

本节介绍了几种自定义对话记忆的方法：

from langchain.llms import OpenAI
from langchain.chains import ConversationChain
from langchain.memory import ConversationBufferMemoryllm = OpenAI(temperature=0)

AI前缀

第一种方法是通过更改对话摘要中的AI前缀来实现。默认情况下，它设置为AI，但你可以将其设置为任何你想要的内容。需要注意的是，如果我们更改了这个前缀，我们还应该相应地更改链条中使用的提示来反映这个命名更改。让我们通过下面的示例来演示这个过程。

# Here it is by default set to "AI"
conversation = ConversationChain(llm=llm, verbose=True, memory=ConversationBufferMemory()
)
conversation.predict(input="Hi there!")

日志输出：

> Entering new ConversationChain chain...
Prompt after formatting:
The following is a friendly conversation between a human and an AI. The AI is talkative and provides lots of specific details from its context. If the AI does not know the answer to a question, it truthfully says it does not know.Current conversation:Human: Hi there!
AI:> Finished ConversationChain chain.

输出：

" Hi there! It's nice to meet you. How can I help you today?"

输入：

conversation.predict(input="What's the weather?")

日志输出：

> Entering new ConversationChain chain...
Prompt after formatting:
The following is a friendly conversation between a human and an AI. The AI is talkative and provides lots of specific details from its context. If the AI does not know the answer to a question, it truthfully says it does not know.Current conversation:Human: Hi there!
AI:  Hi there! It's nice to meet you. How can I help you today?
Human: What's the weather?
AI:> Finished ConversationChain chain.

输出：

' The current weather is sunny and warm with a temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit. The forecast for the next few days is sunny with temperatures in the mid-70s.'

输入：

# Now we can override it and set it to "AI Assistant"
from langchain.prompts.prompt import PromptTemplatetemplate = """The following is a friendly conversation between a human and an AI. The AI is talkative and provides lots of specific details from its context. If the AI does not know the answer to a question, it truthfully says it does not know.Current conversation:
{history}
Human: {input}
AI Assistant:"""
PROMPT = PromptTemplate(input_variables=["history", "input"], template=template
)
conversation = ConversationChain(prompt=PROMPT,llm=llm, verbose=True, memory=ConversationBufferMemory(ai_prefix="AI Assistant")
)
conversation.predict(input="Hi there!")

日志输出：

> Entering new ConversationChain chain...
Prompt after formatting:

conversation.predict(input="What's the weather?")

AI Assistant:> Finished ConversationChain chain.

输出：

The current weather is sunny and warm with a temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit. The forecast for the rest of the day is sunny with a high of 78 degrees and a low of 65 degrees.'

人类前缀

第二种方法是通过更改对话摘要中的人类前缀来实现。默认情况下，它设置为Human，但我们可以将其设置为任何我们想要的内容。需要注意的是，如果我们更改了这个前缀，我们还应该相应地更改链条中使用的提示来反映这个命名更改。让我们通过下面的示例来演示这个过程。

# Now we can override it and set it to "Friend"
from langchain.prompts.prompt import PromptTemplatetemplate = """The following is a friendly conversation between a human and an AI. The AI is talkative and provides lots of specific details from its context. If the AI does not know the answer to a question, it truthfully says it does not know.Current conversation:
{history}
Friend: {input}
AI:"""
PROMPT = PromptTemplate(input_variables=["history", "input"], template=template
)
conversation = ConversationChain(prompt=PROMPT,llm=llm, verbose=True, memory=ConversationBufferMemory(human_prefix="Friend")
)
conversation.predict(input="Hi there!")

日志输出：

> Entering new ConversationChain chain...
Prompt after formatting:
The following is a friendly conversation between a human and an AI. The AI is talkative and provides lots of specific details from its context. If the AI does not know the answer to a question, it truthfully says it does not know.Current conversation:Friend: Hi there!
AI:> Finished ConversationChain chain.
" Hi there! It's nice to meet you. How can I help you today?"
conversation.predict(input="What's the weather?")
> Entering new ConversationChain chain...
Prompt after formatting:
The following is a friendly conversation between a human and an AI. The AI is talkative and provides lots of specific details from its context. If the AI does not know the answer to a question, it truthfully says it does not know.Current conversation:Friend: Hi there!
AI:  Hi there! It's nice to meet you. How can I help you today?
Friend: What's the weather?
AI:> Finished ConversationChain chain.

输出：

  ' The weather right now is sunny and warm with a temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit. The forecast for the rest of the day is mostly sunny with a high of 82 degrees.'

创建自定义记忆类

尽管在LangChain中有几种预定义的记忆类型，但我们很可能希望添加自己的记忆类型，以使其适用于我们的应用程序。在本节中，我们将向ConversationChain添加一个自定义的记忆类型。为了添加自定义的记忆类，我们需要导入基本的记忆类并对其进行子类化。

from langchain import OpenAI, ConversationChain
from langchain.schema import BaseMemory
from pydantic import BaseModel
from typing import List, Dict, Any

在这个示例中，我们将编写一个自定义的记忆类，使用spacy提取实体并将有关它们的信息保存在一个简单的哈希表中。然后，在对话过程中，我们将查看输入文本，提取任何实体，并将关于它们的任何信息放入上下文中。需要注意的是，这种实现相当简单且脆弱，可能在生产环境中不太有用。它的目的是展示我们可以添加自定义的记忆实现。为此，我们需要首先安装spacy。

# !pip install spacy
# !python -m spacy download en_core_web_lg
import spacy
nlp = spacy.load('en_core_web_lg')
class SpacyEntityMemory(BaseMemory, BaseModel):"""Memory class for storing information about entities."""# Define dictionary to store information about entities.entities: dict = {}# Define key to pass information about entities into prompt.memory_key: str = "entities"def clear(self):self.entities = {}@propertydef memory_variables(self) -> List[str]:"""Define the variables we are providing to the prompt."""return [self.memory_key]def load_memory_variables(self, inputs: Dict[str, Any]) -> Dict[str, str]:"""Load the memory variables, in this case the entity key."""# Get the input text and run through spacydoc = nlp(inputs[list(inputs.keys())[0]])# Extract known information about entities, if they exist.entities = [self.entities[str(ent)] for ent in doc.ents if str(ent) in self.entities]# Return combined information about entities to put into context.return {self.memory_key: "\n".join(entities)}def save_context(self, inputs: Dict[str, Any], outputs: Dict[str, str]) -> None:"""Save context from this conversation to buffer."""# Get the input text and run through spacytext = inputs[list(inputs.keys())[0]]doc = nlp(text)# For each entity that was mentioned, save this information to the dictionary.for ent in doc.ents:ent_str = str(ent)if ent_str in self.entities:self.entities[ent_str] += f"\n{text}"else:self.entities[ent_str] = text

我们现在定义一个提示，其中包含有关实体的信息以及用户的输入：

from langchain.prompts.prompt import PromptTemplatetemplate = """The following is a friendly conversation between a human and an AI. The AI is talkative and provides lots of specific details from its context. If the AI does not know the answer to a question, it truthfully says it does not know. You are provided with information about entities the Human mentions, if relevant.Relevant entity information:
{entities}Conversation:
Human: {input}
AI:"""
prompt = PromptTemplate(input_variables=["entities", "input"], template=template
)

现在，我们把它们整合起来：

llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)
conversation = ConversationChain(llm=llm, prompt=prompt, verbose=True, memory=SpacyEntityMemory())

在第一个例子中，由于对Harrison没有先前的了解，"Relevant entity information"部分是空的：

conversation.predict(input="Harrison likes machine learning")

日志输出：

> Entering new ConversationChain chain...
Prompt after formatting:
The following is a friendly conversation between a human and an AI. The AI is talkative and provides lots of specific details from its context. If the AI does not know the answer to a question, it truthfully says it does not know. You are provided with information about entities the Human mentions, if relevant.Relevant entity information:Conversation:
Human: Harrison likes machine learning
AI:> Finished ConversationChain chain.

输出：

" That's great to hear! Machine learning is a fascinating field of study. It involves using algorithms to analyze data and make predictions. Have you ever studied machine learning, Harrison?"

现在在第二个例子中，我们可以看到它提取了关于Harrison的信息。

conversation.predict(input="What do you think Harrison's favorite subject in college was?")

日志输出：

> Entering new ConversationChain chain...
Prompt after formatting:
The following is a friendly conversation between a human and an AI. The AI is talkative and provides lots of specific details from its context. If the AI does not know the answer to a question, it truthfully says it does not know. You are provided with information about entities the Human mentions, if relevant.Relevant entity information:
Harrison likes machine learningConversation:
Human: What do you think Harrison's favorite subject in college was?
AI:> Finished ConversationChain chain.

输出：

' From what I know about Harrison, I believe his favorite subject in college was machine learning. He has expressed a strong interest in the subject and has mentioned it often.'

这个实现方式相对简单且容易出错，可能在实际生产环境中没有太大的用途，但它展示了我们可以添加自定义的内存实现方式。
