GPT 配合文本向量搜索

GPT 配合文本向量搜索

由来

在个人实践中,对于文本信息的搜索有下列几种方式:

  1. 自建规则搜索:自建结构化的目录,有规则的打标签,命名标题。
  2. 文本向量搜索:向量数据库查询
  3. 高级搜索语法:通过布尔搜索,条件搜索,联合查询,正则搜索
  4. 普通搜索
搜索方式优点缺点
自建规则搜索检索速度快,体验好维护压力大,前期花费时间长
高级搜索语法通用输入速度慢,效果不确定,有一定学习成本
文本向量搜索通用,应用场景比高级搜索语法更广金钱成本较高,效果比自己搜索要好
普通搜索检索速度快,效果不确定,大量冗余信息

其中文本向量搜索可以理解为自动创建的自建规则,本文试图尝试使用这种方式构建个人文本搜索引擎,进一步提升检索效率。

基本思路

对于个人笔记库,我采用的是自建规则搜索,目前来看体验是最好的,我甚至在绝大部分情况都用不上全局搜索了。于是我将尝试从网络书签下手:

  1. 随机选取 100 个书签
  2. 在 Supabase 数据库中配置好 pgvector ,建立索引,创建搜索函数
  3. 使用 OpenAI 的 text-embedding-ada-002 模型生成文本向量,存入 Supabase 数据库中
  4. 根据提问,使用 Supabase 的 api,获取最佳的 10 个向量,一起喂给 OpenAI 的 ChatGPT3.5
  5. 得到答案

选取 100 个书签的原因:一方面是这玩意儿得花钱,对于免费用户,OpenAI 有 3RPM 频率限制,即一分钟最多请求 3 次;另一方面是太多了不好进行展示,私以为将数据集一并放出来,更能评估效果

实现步骤

配置 Supabase

安装 postgres 扩展插件以支持向量

create extension vector;

创建数据库表

create table documents (
  id bigserial primary key,
  title text,
  description text,
  url text,
  content text,
  checksum text,
  embedding vector(1536)
);

创建数据库函数

create or replace function match_documents (
  query_embedding vector(1536),
  match_threshold float,
  match_count int
)
returns table (
  id bigint,
  content text,
  similarity float
)
language sql stable
as $$
  select
    documents.id,
    documents.content,
    1 - (documents.embedding <=> query_embedding) as similarity
  from documents
  where 1 - (documents.embedding <=> query_embedding) > match_threshold
  order by similarity desc
  limit match_count;
$$;
  • text-embedding-ada-002 生成的就是 1536 维的向量
  • 直接在 sql editor 里运行即可

创建数据库索引

create index on documents using ivfflat (embedding vector_cosine_ops)
with
  (lists = 100);
  • 这里使用余弦距离,这也是 OpenAI 推荐的

生成 embeddings

import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
import BOOKMARKS from './constants/bookmarks'
import type { Database } from './types/supabase'
import md5 from 'md5'
import { OpenAI, ClientOptions } from 'openai'

const supabaseUrl = 'https://xxxxxxxxxx.supabase.co'
const publicToken = 'xxxxxxxxx'
const openAIKey = 'sk-dxxxxxxxxxxxxnYVaeoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'


// Create a single supabase client for interacting with your database
const supabase = createClient<Database>(supabaseUrl, privateToken)
const openai = new OpenAI({ apiKey: openAIKey } as ClientOptions)

BOOKMARKS.forEach(async (bookmark, index) => {
    const content = bookmark.title + ' ' + bookmark.excerpt
    // const embeddingResponse = await openai.embeddings.create({
    //     model: "text-embedding-ada-002",
    //     input: content,
    // })

    // const embedding = embeddingResponse.data[0].embedding
    const currentMd5 = md5(content)
    const { data: selectedData, error: selectedError } = await supabase
        .from('documents')
        .select()
        .eq('checksum', currentMd5)
        .single()

    if (selectedData) {
        console.log(index)
        return
    }
    const embeddingResponse = await fetch("https://api.openai.com/v1/embeddings", {
        method: "POST",
        headers: {
            Authorization: "Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxx04d6xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
        },
        body: JSON.stringify({
            input: content,
            model: "text-embedding-ada-002",
        }),
    });
    const responseJson = await embeddingResponse.json()
    const embedding = responseJson.data[0].embedding

    const generateContentMd5 = (content: string) => {
        const md5Hash = md5(content)
        return md5Hash
    }

    const bookmarkData = {
        title: bookmark.title,
        url: bookmark.link,
        description: bookmark.excerpt ?? "",
        checksum: generateContentMd5(content),
        content,
        embedding,
    }

    const { data, error } = await supabase
        .from('documents')
        //@ts-ignore
        .insert(bookmarkData)
        .single()
})

基本思路如下:

  1. 我是从 raindrop 的 api 获取书签的,一次最多 50 个,endpoint:/raindrops/0?perpage=50&page=2
  2. 初始化 supabase,通过 checksum 判断是否需要生成向量
  3. 初始化 openai,试了才知道白嫖用户最多 1 分钟三次,遂改用第三方的接口
  4. 插回 supabase

基础检索

async function askEmbedding(question: string) {
    const embeddingResponse = await openai.embeddings.create({
        model: "text-embedding-ada-002",
        input: question,
    })

    const embedding = embeddingResponse.data[0].embedding

    const { data: documents } = await supabase.rpc('match_documents', {
        //@ts-ignore
        query_embedding: embedding,
        match_threshold: 0.78, // Choose an appropriate threshold for your data
        match_count: 10, // Choose the number of matches
    })

    return documents
}


askEmbedding("roadmap").then((data) => {
    console.log(data)
})

结合 GPT 的检索

async function askGPT(question: string) {
    const documents = await askEmbedding(question)

    if (!documents || documents?.length === 0) {
        return
    }

    const tokenizer = new GPT3Tokenizer({ type: 'gpt3' })
    let tokenCount = 0
    let contextText = ''

    // Concat matched documents
    for (let i = 0; i < documents.length; i++) {
        const document = documents[i]
        const content = document.content
        const encoded = tokenizer.encode(content)
        tokenCount += encoded.text.length

        // Limit context to max 1500 tokens (configurable)
        if (tokenCount > 1500) {
            break
        }

        contextText += `${content.trim()}\n---\n`
    }

    const prompt = stripIndent`${oneLine`
    你是一个书签管理员,你的工作是帮助用户找到他们想要的书签。接下来我将给你一些上下文信息,然后你需要回答用户的问题。你可以使用以下文档中的任何信息来回答问题。如果你不确定,或者上下文中没有明确写出答案,你可以说"对不起,我不知道怎么回答这个问题。"`}

    Context sections:
    ${contextText}

    Question: """
    ${question}
    """

    Answer as markdown (including related code snippets if available):
  `

    // In production we should handle possible errors
    const completionResponse = await openai.chat.completions.create({
        model: 'gpt-3.5-turbo',
        messages:[
            {
                "role": "system",
                "content": prompt

总结

目前篇幅过长,仅能展现部分测试,遂给出个人主观倾向的总结:

  1. 普通搜索在单关键字的情况下检全率很高,检准率或者说相关性比较差,因为混杂了大量无关但含有关键字的信息。而向量搜索和 GPT 配合向量搜索在相关性上做得很好,但是只能返回部分结果。
  2. GPT 在不同的提问方式返回的是不同的内容,相对来说不怎么稳定。向量搜索比较稳定。
  3. 向量搜索添加关键字可以提升检索质量,GPT 能优化输出内容。
  4. 在多关键字的情况下普通搜索和高级搜索的难度上升,即使很简单的搜索也提升了心智压力。相较而言,向量搜索和 GPT 则能较为轻松的获取相关内容。

针对个人大文本量的检索场景,做出如下选择:

主要权衡在于:是否能立刻返回有效易读的信息,也即检准率
全局搜索在大文本量的场景无疑会出现大量关键字,人眼无法立刻准确的,优雅的找到想要的内容,这是我所摈弃的,这玩意儿适合机器读,不适合人读。
自定义规则搜索则提出建立人脑搜索引擎,建立并熟悉后可避免上述情况。但问题是人脑是有限的,对于产出不高,性价比低的情况,向量搜索加 GPT 能很好的补足这种场景。

  • 个人笔记库:自定义规则搜索配合普通和高级搜索。考虑到建立个人笔记库的目的是建立系统的,完备的笔记系统,向量搜索和 GPT 的信息丢失是不可接受的,妨碍整体的思考,重构笔记。
  • 琐碎记录:普通和高级搜索。考虑到琐碎记录如日志,习惯记录这些,检全率十分重要,可以配合自动化手段,自定义标签等手段完备的收集,再进行处理。
  • 备忘记录:向量搜索配合 GPT。考虑到网络书签,代码搜索这些组织起来性价比低,收效甚微且颇占心智压力的场景。即使向量搜索检索不全,但是能立刻返回易读,相关的内容,也瑕不掩瑜了。
