----------------------
To measure the time it takes to embed a whole dataset, a single query, and a single query in a list of queries, you can use the time module in Python. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Embed a whole dataset:
    You can use the LlamaIndex library to load your dataset and create an index. The time it takes to create this index includes the time it takes to embed the whole dataset. Here's an example:
Plain Text
   import time
   from llama_index.core import download_loader
   from llama_index.readers.wikipedia import WikipediaReader
   from llama_index.core import VectorStoreIndex

   loader = WikipediaReader()
   documents = loader.load_data(pages=["Berlin"])  # replace with your dataset

   start_time = time.time()
   index = VectorStoreIndex.from_documents(documents)
   end_time = time.time()

   print("Total time elapsed for embedding the whole dataset: {}".format(end_time - start_time))
   


  1. Embed a single query:
    You can use the get_query_embedding method from the embedding model you are using. Here's an example:
Plain Text
   query = "Example query."
   start_time = time.time()
   query_result = embed_model.get_query_embedding(query)  # replace embed_model with your model
   end_time = time.time()

   print("Total time elapsed for embedding a single query: {}".format(end_time - start_time))
   


  1. Embed a single query in a list of queries:
    If you want to measure the time it takes to embed a single query in a list of queries, you can use the aget_agg_embedding_from_queries method. This method is asynchronous and gets aggregated embedding from multiple queries. Here's an example:
```python
import asyncio
queries = ["What's the weather like in Komchatka?", "What kinds of food is Italy known for?", "Example query."] # replace with your queries
async def measure_time():
start_time = time.time()
await embed_model.aget_agg_embedding_from_queries(queries) # replace embed_model with your model
end_time = time.time()

print("Total time elapsed for embedding a single query in a list of queries: {}".format(end_time - start_time))

asyncio.run(measure_time())
```

Please replace the placeholders in the code with your actual data and model.

@kapa.ai I am using generate_question_context_pairs to create a qa_dataset . It basically contains all the queries and the qa_dataset is of the type
how to find the time it takes to embed each of that query
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To measure the time it takes to embed each query in your qa_dataset, you can iterate over the queries and use the time module in Python to measure the time it takes to embed each query. Here's an example:

Plain Text
import time
from llama_index.core.evaluation import EmbeddingQAFinetuneDataset

# Assuming you have your qa_dataset
# qa_dataset = generate_question_context_pairs(nodes, llm=llm, num_questions_per_chunk=2)

queries = qa_dataset.queries.values()

for query in queries:
    start_time = time.time()
    query_embedding = embed_model.get_query_embedding(query)  # replace embed_model with your model
    end_time = time.time()

    print("Time elapsed for embedding the query '{}': {}".format(query, end_time - start_time))


Please replace the embed_model with the actual model you are using for embedding. This model should have a method get_query_embedding that takes a query as input and returns the embedding.

does generate_question_context_pairs create embeddings ?
does generate_question_context_pairs create embeddings ? @kapa.ai
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
No, the generate_question_context_pairs function does not create embeddings. This function is used to generate a set of (question, context) pairs over a given unstructured text corpus. It uses a language model (LLM) to auto-generate questions from each context chunk. The output is an EmbeddingQAFinetuneDataset object which contains a set of ids mapping to queries and relevant document chunks, as well as the corpus itself.

Here's an example of how it's used:

Plain Text
from llama_index.core.evaluation import generate_question_context_pairs, EmbeddingQAFinetuneDataset

# Assuming you have your nodes and llm
# nodes = ...
# llm = ...

qa_dataset = generate_question_context_pairs(nodes, llm=llm, num_questions_per_chunk=2)


The actual embeddings are not created in this step. The embedding process usually happens later when you pass these queries to an embedding model.

For all the queries in qa_dataset please calculate the Hit rate and MRR @kapa.ai
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To calculate the Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR) and hit rate for all the queries in your qa_dataset, you can use the RetrieverEvaluator class from the LlamaIndex library. Here's an example of how you can do it:

Plain Text
from llama_index.core.evaluation import RetrieverEvaluator

# Assuming you have your retriever
# retriever = ...

# Define the metrics
metrics = ["mrr", "hit_rate"]

# Create the evaluator
retriever_evaluator = RetrieverEvaluator.from_metric_names(metrics, retriever=retriever)

# Evaluate the dataset
eval_results = await retriever_evaluator.aevaluate_dataset(qa_dataset)

# Calculate the metrics
metric_dicts = []
for eval_result in eval_results:
    metric_dict = eval_result.metric_vals_dict
    metric_dicts.append(metric_dict)

# Calculate the mean of the metrics
full_df = pd.DataFrame(metric_dicts)
hit_rate = full_df["hit_rate"].mean()
mrr = full_df["mrr"].mean()

print(f"Hit Rate: {hit_rate}, MRR: {mrr}")


Please replace the retriever placeholder with your actual retriever. This retriever should be an instance of a class that implements the Retriever interface from the LlamaIndex library.

----------------------
To calculate the Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR) and hit rate for each query in your qa_dataset, you can iterate over the queries and use the evaluate method of the RetrieverEvaluator class from the LlamaIndex library. Here's an example of how you can do it:

Plain Text
from llama_index.core.evaluation import RetrieverEvaluator

# Assuming you have your retriever
# retriever = ...

# Define the metrics
metrics = ["mrr", "hit_rate"]

# Create the evaluator
retriever_evaluator = RetrieverEvaluator.from_metric_names(metrics, retriever=retriever)

# Iterate over the queries
for query_id, query in qa_dataset.queries.items():
    # Get the expected documents for this query
    expected_docs = qa_dataset.relevant_docs[query_id]

    # Evaluate the query
    eval_result = retriever_evaluator.evaluate(query, expected_docs)

    # Print the metrics for this query
    print(f"Query: {query}, Metrics: {eval_result.metric_vals_dict}")

Sure, you can iterate over all the queries in your qa_dataset and evaluate each one using the RetrieverEvaluator. Here's how you can do it:

Plain Text
from llama_index.core.evaluation import RetrieverEvaluator

# Assuming you have your retriever
# retriever = ...

# Define the metrics
metrics = ["mrr", "hit_rate"]

# Create the evaluator
retriever_evaluator = RetrieverEvaluator.from_metric_names(metrics, retriever=retriever)

# Iterate over the queries
for query_id, query in qa_dataset.queries.items():
    # Get the expected documents for this query
    expected_docs = qa_dataset.relevant_docs[query_id]

    # Evaluate the query
    eval_result = retriever_evaluator.evaluate(query, expected_docs)

    # Print the metrics for this query
    print(f"Query ID: {query_id}, Metrics: {eval_result.metric_vals_dict}")


Please replace the retriever placeholder with your actual retriever. This retriever should be an instance of a class that implements the Retriever interface from the LlamaIndex library.

@kapa.ai is mrr and hit rate calculated for each query
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, the Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR) and hit rate can be calculated for each individual query. When you evaluate a retriever using the RetrieverEvaluator class from the LlamaIndex library, it returns an EvaluationResult object for each query. This object contains the values of the metrics (like MRR and hit rate) for that specific query.

Here's an example of how you can calculate these metrics for each query:

Plain Text
from llama_index.core.evaluation import RetrieverEvaluator

# Assuming you have your retriever
# retriever = ...

# Define the metrics
metrics = ["mrr", "hit_rate"]

# Create the evaluator
retriever_evaluator = RetrieverEvaluator.from_metric_names(metrics, retriever=retriever)

# Iterate over the queries
for query_id, query in qa_dataset.queries.items():
    # Get the expected documents for this query
    expected_docs = qa_dataset.relevant_docs[query_id]

    # Evaluate the query
    eval_result = retriever_evaluator.evaluate(query, expected_docs)

    # Print the metrics for this query
    print(f"Query ID: {query_id}, Metrics: {eval_result.metric_vals_dict}")


In this code, eval_result.metric_vals_dict is a dictionary that contains the values of the metrics for the current query. You can access the MRR and hit rate for the current query using eval_result.metric_vals_dict['mrr'] and eval_result.metric_vals_dict['hit_rate'], respectively.

nodes = node_parser.get_nodes_from_documents(documents)
@kapa.ai does this convert the documents into embeddings ?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
No, the get_nodes_from_documents method from the node_parser object does not convert the documents into embeddings. This method is used to parse the documents into nodes, where each node represents a chunk of text from the document.

Here's an example of how it's used:

Plain Text
from llama_index.core.node_parser import SentenceSplitter

node_parser = SentenceSplitter(chunk_size=512)
nodes = node_parser.get_nodes_from_documents(documents)


In this code, documents is a list of documents, and node_parser is an instance of SentenceSplitter, which is a type of node parser. The get_nodes_from_documents method splits each document into chunks of a specified size (512 in this case), and returns a list of nodes, where each node represents a chunk.

The actual embeddings are not created in this step. The embedding process usually happens later when you pass these nodes to an embedding model.

for idx, node in enumerate(nodes):
node.id = f"node{idx}"
@kapa.ai why is this done what does it result into
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The code snippet you provided is used to manually set the IDs for each node in the nodes list.

Plain Text
for idx, node in enumerate(nodes):
    node.id_ = f"node_{idx}"


In this code, enumerate(nodes) is a Python built-in function that allows you to loop over a list (in this case, nodes) and have an automatic counter (idx in this case).

The line node.id_ = f"node_{idx}" is setting the ID of each node to be a string that starts with "node_" followed by the index of the node in the list. For example, the first node in the list will have an ID of "node_0", the second node will have an ID of "node_1", and so on.

This is done to ensure that each node has a unique and consistent ID across different runs of the code. By default, the node IDs in LlamaIndex are set to random UUIDs. If you want to ensure the same IDs for each node across different runs of your code, you can manually set them like in the provided code snippet.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
----------------------
@kapa.ai In what way does it help
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Assigning unique and consistent IDs to each node can be beneficial in several ways:

  1. Traceability: By assigning unique IDs, you can easily trace back a specific node in your dataset. This can be particularly useful when debugging or trying to understand specific results.
  1. Consistency: By ensuring the IDs are consistent across different runs of your code, you can make your experiments reproducible. This is important in machine learning and data science, where you often need to reproduce your results to verify them.
  1. Relationships: In LlamaIndex, nodes can have relationships with other nodes (for example, one node can be the source of another node). By having unique and consistent IDs, you can accurately represent and maintain these relationships.
Here's the code snippet for reference:

Plain Text
for idx, node in enumerate(nodes):
    node.id_ = f"node_{idx}"


In this code, each node in the nodes list is assigned a unique ID in the format of "node_{index}", where {index} is the position of the node in the list.
