Elasticsearch：与多个 PDF 聊天 | LangChain Python 应用教程（免费 LLMs 和嵌入）

在本博客中，你将学习创建一个 LangChain 应用程序，以使用 ChatGPT API 和 Huggingface 语言模型与多个 PDF 文件聊天。

如上所示，我们在最最左边摄入 PDF 文件，并它们连成一起，并分为不同的 chunks。我们可以通过使用 huggingface 来对 chunks 进行处理并形成 embeddings。我们把 embeddings 写入到 Elasticsearch 向量数据库中，并保存。在搜索的时候，我们通过 LangChain 来进行向量化，并使用 Elasticsearch 进行向量搜索。在最后，我们通过大模型的使用，针对提出的问题来进行提问。我们最终的界面如下：

如上所示，它可以针对我们的问题进行回答。进一步阅读

安装

如果你还没有安装好自己的 Elasticsearch 及 Kibana 的话，那么请参考如下的链接：

• 如何在 Linux，MacOS 及 Windows 上进行安装 Elasticsearch

• Kibana：如何在 Linux，MacOS 及 Windows 上安装 Elastic 栈中的 Kibana

在安装的时候，我们选择 Elastic Stack 9.x 的安装指南来进行安装。在默认的情况下，Elasticsearch 集群的访问具有 HTTPS 的安全访问。

在安装时，我们可以在 Elasticsearch 的如下地址找到相应的证书文件 http_ca.crt:

$ pwd
/Users/liuxg/elastic/elasticsearch-8.10.0/config/certs
$ ls
http.p12      http_ca.crt   transport.p12

我们需要把该证书拷贝到项目文件的根目录下：

$ tree -L 3
.
├── app.py
├── docs
│   └── PDF-LangChain.jpg
├── htmlTemplates.py
├── http_ca.crt
├── lib_embeddings.py
├── lib_indexer.py
├── lib_llm.py
├── lib_vectordb.py
├── myapp.py
├── pdf_files
│   ├── sample1.pdf
│   └── sample2.pdf
├── readme.md
├── requirements.txt
└── simple.cfg

如上所示，我们把 http_ca.crt 拷贝到应用的根目录下。我们在 pdf_files 里放了两个用于测试的 PDF 文件。你可以使用自己的 PDF 文件来进行测试。我们在 simple.cfg 做如下的配置：

ES_SERVER: "localhost" 
ES_PASSWORD: "vXDWYtL*my3vnKY9zCfL"
ES_FINGERPRINT: "e2c1512f617f432ddf242075d3af5177b28f6497fecaaa0eea11429369bb7b00"

在上面，我们需要配置 ES_SERVER。这个是 Elasticsearch 集群的地址。这里的 ES_PASSWORD 是 Elasticsearch 的超级用户 elastic 的密码。我们可以在 Elasticsearch 第一次启动的画面中找到这个 ES_FINGERPRINT：

你还可以在 Kibana 的配置文件 confgi/kibana.yml 文件中获得 fingerprint 的配置：

在项目的目录中，我们还可以看到一个叫做 .env-example 的文件。我们可以使用如下的命令把它重新命名为 .env:

mv .env.example .env

在 .env 中，我们输入 huggingface.co 网站得到的 token：

$ cat .env
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_key
HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN=your_huggingface_key

在本例中，我们将使用 huggingface 来进行测试。如果你需要使用到 OpenAI，那么你需要配置它的 key。有关 huggingface 的开发者 key，你可以在地址获得。

运行项目

在运行项目之前，你需要做一下安装的动作：

python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt

创建界面

本应用的界面，我们采用是 streamlit 来创建的。它的创建也是非常地简单。我们可以在 myapp.py 中看到如下的代码：

myapp.py

import streamlit as st
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from PyPDF2 import PdfReader
from htmlTemplates import css, bot_template, user_templatedef get_pdf_texts(pdf_docs):text = ""for pdf in pdf_docs:pdf_reader = PdfReader(pdf)for page in pdf_reader.pages:text += page.extract_text()return textdef main():load_dotenv()st.set_page_config(page_title="Chat with multiple PDFs", page_icon=":books:")st.write(css, unsafe_allow_html=True)st.header("Chat with multiple PDFs :books:")user_question = st.text_input("Ask a question about your documents")if user_question:passst.write(user_template.replace("{{MSG}}", "Hello, human").replace("{{MSG1}}", " "), unsafe_allow_html=True)st.write(bot_template.replace("{{MSG}}", "Hello, robot").replace("{{MSG1}}", " "), unsafe_allow_html=True)# Add a side barwith st.sidebar:st.subheader("Your documents")pdf_docs = st.file_uploader("Upload your PDFs here and press on click on Process", accept_multiple_files=True)print(pdf_docs)if st.button("Process"):with st.spinner("Processing"):# Get pdf text fromraw_text = get_pdf_texts(pdf_docs)st.write(raw_text)if __name__ == "__main__":main()

在上面的代码中，我创建了一个 sidebar 用来选择需要的 PDF 文件。我们可以点击 Process 按钮来显示已经提取的 PDF 文本。我们可以使用如下的命令来运行应用：

(venv) $ streamlit run myapp.py

venv) $ streamlit run myapp.pyYou can now view your Streamlit app in your browser.Local URL: http://localhost:8502Network URL: http://198.18.1.13:8502

运行完上面的命令后，我们可以在浏览器中打开应用：

我们点击 Browse files，并选中 PDF 文件：

点击上面的 Process，我们可以看到：

在上面，我们为了显示的方便，我使用 st.write 直接把结果写到浏览器的页面里。我们接下来需要针对这个长的文字进行切分为一个一个的 chunks。我们需要按照模型的需要，不能超过模型允许的最大值。

上面我简单地叙述了 UI 的构造。最终完整的 myapp.py 的设计如下：

myapp.py

创建嵌入模型

lib_embedding.py

## for embeddings
from langchain.embeddings import HuggingFaceEmbeddingsdef setup_embeddings():# Huggingface embedding setupprint(">> Prep. Huggingface embedding setup")model_name = "sentence-transformers/all-mpnet-base-v2"return HuggingFaceEmbeddings(model_name=model_name)

 创建向量存储

lib_vectordb.py

import os
from config import Config## for vector store
from langchain.vectorstores import ElasticVectorSearchdef setup_vectordb(hf,index_name):# Elasticsearch URL setupprint(">> Prep. Elasticsearch config setup")with open('simple.cfg') as f:cfg = Config(f)endpoint = cfg['ES_SERVER']username = "elastic"password = cfg['ES_PASSWORD']ssl_verify = {"verify_certs": True,"basic_auth": (username, password),"ca_certs": "./http_ca.crt",}url = f"https://{username}:{password}@{endpoint}:9200"return ElasticVectorSearch( embedding = hf, elasticsearch_url = url, index_name = index_name, ssl_verify = ssl_verify), url

 创建使用带有上下文和问题变量的提示模板的离线 LLM

lib_llm.py

## for conversation LLM

写入以向量表示的 PDF 文件

以下是我的分块和向量存储代码。 它需要在 Elasticsearch 中准备好组成的 Elasticsearch url、huggingface 嵌入模型、向量数据库和目标索引名称

lib_indexer.py

from langchain.text_splitter import RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter
from langchain.document_loaders import TextLoader## for vector store
from langchain.vectorstores import ElasticVectorSearch
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
from config import Configwith open('simple.cfg') as f:cfg = Config(f)fingerprint = cfg['ES_FINGERPRINT']
endpoint = cfg['ES_SERVER']
username = "elastic"
password = cfg['ES_PASSWORD']
ssl_verify = {"verify_certs": True,"basic_auth": (username, password),"ca_certs": "./http_ca.crt"
}url = f"https://{username}:{password}@{endpoint}:9200"def parse_book(filepath):loader = TextLoader(filepath)documents = loader.load()text_splitter = RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter(chunk_size=384, chunk_overlap=0)docs = text_splitter.split_documents(documents)return docsdef parse_triplets(filepath):docs = parse_book(filepath)result = []for i in range(len(docs) - 2):concat_str = docs[i].page_content + " " + docs[i+1].page_content + " " + docs[i+2].page_contentresult.append(concat_str)return result#db.from_texts(docs, embedding=hf, elasticsearch_url=url, index_name=index_name)## load book utility
## params
##  filepath: where to get the book txt ... should be utf-8
##  url: the full Elasticsearch url with username password and port embedded
##  hf: hugging face transformer for sentences
##  db: the VectorStore Langcahin object ready to go with embedding thing already set up
##  index_name: name of index to use in ES
##
##  will check if the index_name exists already in ES url before attempting split and load
def loadBookTriplets(filepath, url, hf, db, index_name):with open('simple.cfg') as f:cfg = Config(f)fingerprint = cfg['ES_FINGERPRINT']es = Elasticsearch( [ url ], basic_auth = ("elastic", cfg['ES_PASSWORD']), ssl_assert_fingerprint = fingerprint, http_compress = True  )## Parse the book if necessaryif not es.indices.exists(index=index_name):print(f'\tThe index: {index_name} does not exist')print(">> 1.

提问

我们使用 streamlit 的 input 来进行提问：

    user_question = st.text_input("Ask a question about your documents")if user_question:handle_userinput(db, llm_chain_informed, user_question)

当我们打入 ENTER 键后，上面的代码调用 handle_userinput(db, llm_chain_informed, user_question)：

def handle_userinput(db, llm_chain_informed, user_question):similar_docs = db.similarity_search(user_question)print(f'The most relevant passage: \n\t{similar_docs[0].page_content}')## 4. Ask Local LLM context informed prompt# print(">> 4. Asking The Book ... and its response is: ")informed_context= similar_docs[0].page_contentresponse = llm_chain_informed.run(context=informed_context,question=user_question)st.write(user_template.replace("{{MSG}}", user_question).replace("{{MSG1}}", " "), unsafe_allow_html=True)st.write(bot_template.replace("{{MSG}}", response).replace("{{MSG1}}", similar_docs[0].page_content),unsafe_allow_html=True)

首先它使用 db 进行相似性搜索，然后我们再使用大模型来得到我们想要的答案。

运行结果

我们使用命令来运行代码：

streamlit run myapp.py

我们在浏览器中选择在 pdf_files 中的两个 PDF 文件：

在上面，我们输入想要的问题：

上面的问题是：

what do I make all the same and put a cup next to him on the desk?

再进行提问：

上面的问题是：

when should you come? I will send a car to meet you from the half past four arrival at Harrogate Station.

上面的问题是：

what will I send to meet you from the half past four arrival at Harrogate Station?

你进行多次尝试其它的问题。Happy journery :)

有关 ChatGPT 的使用也是基本相同的。你需要使用 ChatGPT 的模型及其相应的 key 即可。在这里就不赘述了。
