MOSAIC-LLM

Main contributors: Roxanne El Baff ([email protected]) and Valentin Edelsbrunner ([email protected]).

Overview

The main goal of this demo is to use Zero-shot LLM to:

1. Improve and expand the query provided by the user using QueryOptimizer.
2. Summarize the result snippets returned by MOSAIC using Summarizer.

The user provides a query, q. q is fed to a QueryOptimizer, where it is improved and expanded with three additional queries. Then, using q, the improved query, and the three sub-queries, we search (via RESTAPI) using MOSAIC for each one of them and fetch the top N results - in total, we conduct five different searches (q, improved_q, subquery_1, subquery_2, subquery_3). After that, in the last phase, we feed the list of snippets to a Summarizer. We do this three times: For the q results, improved_q results, and the combined results of subquery_1+ subquery_2+subquery_3. The goal is to compare the three summaries and check if the optimized OR expanded queries positively impact the results.

Check data/mosaicllm_results.csv for sample queries and results from mosaicllm.

Here is an example of the summaries for q: Apple

Original Query q 'The focus is on Apple. Apples are a type of pome fruit, which also includes pears, and grow on trees. They are in the same family as quinces. In the technology context, an applet is a computer program, often written in Java, that can be run in a web browser. In a different setting, the iodine test uses iodine as a chemical indicator to detect starch, and is used in various applications such as brewing beer and determining apple ripeness. In Greek mythology, Ladon is a dragon who guarded the golden apples in the Garden of the Hesperides.'

Improved Query 'The Apple T1 is a chip developed by Apple, derived from the Apple S2. Apple Inc. also produces the Apple Pencil, a wireless stylus pen accessory used with supported iPad tablets. Unrelated to Apple Inc., a pond-apple is a type of fruit that is not associated with the tech company or its products.'

Subquery_1-3 'Apple Inc. is an American company that produces personal computers, including the Apple Macintosh, and the Apple I, which was their first official product. Apple also offers the Apple Pencil, a wireless stylus pen accessory for use with supported iPad tablets. The Macintosh was one of the first computers to incorporate a graphical user interface, allowing users to point and click on icons using a mouse. Under the leadership of Steve Jobs, Apple Inc. has become a successful technology company, but specific financial performance details are not provided in the text snippets.'

Below, we explain each component in more detail:

I. QueryOptimizer

Input: a search query (e.g., Apple, Climate Change). Output: a JSON object with the following key and values:

• rationale: Brief reasoning for your choices
• clarified_query: The improved query
• subqueries: An array of the top 3 sub-queries

Approach:

• Zero-shot with an instruction-tuned LLM.
• The prompt used is under prompts/query_optimization.txt [link].
• code: MosaicLLM.optimize_query

Example Output for q: Apple

{
 'rationale': "The original query is too vague. I will clarify it to specify that the user is likely looking for information about Apple Inc., a major technology company. I will also create sub-queries to gather information about Apple's products, services, and company performance.",
 'clarified_query': 'Apple Inc.',
 'subqueries': ['Apple Inc. products', 'Apple Inc. services', 'Apple Inc. financial performance']
}

II. Calling MOSAIC

Input: A query as a string Output: a list containing n text snippets

Approach:

• We use MOSAIC Rest API, which returns the top n results as JSON, where each item has the text snippet and other metadata.   https://qnode.eu/ows/mosaic/service/search?q={query}?&index={mosaic_index}&lang={lang}&limit={n}"

• We post-process the results from JSON to a list of strings containing only the text snippets.

• code: MosaicLLM.query_mosaic and then MosaicLLM.extract_textsnippet_from_mosaic_response

Check the MOSAIC main page for further information.

III. Summarizer

Input: The list (as string) of top N text snippets returned from MOSAIC (II.) for a single query. Output: a string containing the summary of the snippets

Approach:

• Zero-shot with an instruction-tuned LLM.
• The prompt used is under prompts/result_summarization.txt.txt [link].
• code: MosaicLLM.summarize_results   Check the overview section for an example of the three main outputs.

Technical Details

• Model open-mixtral-8x7b accessed via Mixtral API
• Temperature default to 0.7
• Framework LangChain
• Requirements check requirements.txt here.
• Python version: we tested the code with Python>3.9.2

MosaicLLM Class

The main class MosaicLLM is implemented under the package mosaic_llm/mosaillm.py.

Attributes:

• model_name: str - The model name of the LLM to be used for the Optimizer and Summarizer. Default value: open-mixtral-8x7b.   - Note: for now, we only support Mistral models.
• temperature: int - the temperature set when calling the LLM. Default value: 0.7.
• root: str - The path root where the prompts folder is located. Default value:  ../.
• mosaic_top_n: int - The top N results that should be returned from MOSAIC. Default value: 5.
• mosaic_index: str - Defines the index name to be used when searching MOSAIC. Default value: demo-simplewiki.
• mosaic_lang: str - Defines the results' language returned from MOSAIC.. Default value: en.

The primary function, run, takes the query q and executes the whole pipeline. It returns a json object with the outputs from QueryOptimizer and from Summarizer, in addition to the prompt string used for each of these modules.

requirement to run the code: Create a .env file in the main folder here and add the following:

MISTRAL_API_KEY = "<MISTRAL_API_KEY_VALUE>"

Installation and Sample code

Option 1

git clone <repo_git_url>
cd MOSAIC_LLM
pip install .

Option 2 pip install git+<repo_git_https_url>

from  mosaic_llm.mosaicllm import MosaicLLM

mosaicllm = MosaicLLM(root="")
apple_query_result = mosaicllm.run(query=q)

print("original query summary:")
print(apple_query_result.summary_query)

print("\nimproved query summary:")
print(apple_query_result.summary_clarified_query)

print("\nsubquery_1-3 summary:")
print(apple_query_result.summary_subqueries)
