`langchain.chains.flare.base`.QuestionGeneratorChain¶

class langchain.chains.flare.base.QuestionGeneratorChain[source]¶

Bases: LLMChain

Chain that generates questions from uncertain spans.

Create a new model by parsing and validating input data from keyword arguments.

Raises ValidationError if the input data cannot be parsed to form a valid model.

param callback_manager: Optional[BaseCallbackManager] = None¶: Deprecated, use callbacks instead.

param callbacks: Callbacks = None¶: Optional list of callback handlers (or callback manager). Defaults to None. Callback handlers are called throughout the lifecycle of a call to a chain, starting with on_chain_start, ending with on_chain_end or on_chain_error. Each custom chain can optionally call additional callback methods, see Callback docs for full details.

param llm: Union[Runnable[LanguageModelInput, str], Runnable[LanguageModelInput, BaseMessage]] [Required]¶: Language model to call.

param llm_kwargs: dict [Optional]¶

param memory: Optional[BaseMemory] = None¶: Optional memory object. Defaults to None. Memory is a class that gets called at the start and at the end of every chain. At the start, memory loads variables and passes them along in the chain. At the end, it saves any returned variables. There are many different types of memory - please see memory docs for the full catalog.

param metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None¶: Optional metadata associated with the chain. Defaults to None. This metadata will be associated with each call to this chain, and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks. You can use these to eg identify a specific instance of a chain with its use case.

param output_parser: BaseLLMOutputParser [Optional]¶: Output parser to use. Defaults to one that takes the most likely string but does not change it otherwise.

param prompt: BasePromptTemplate = PromptTemplate(input_variables=['current_response', 'uncertain_span', 'user_input'], template='Given a user input and an existing partial response as context, ask a question to which the answer is the given term/entity/phrase:\n\n>>> USER INPUT: {user_input}\n>>> EXISTING PARTIAL RESPONSE: {current_response}\n\nThe question to which the answer is the term/entity/phrase "{uncertain_span}" is:')¶: Prompt template for the chain.

param return_final_only: bool = True¶: Whether to return only the final parsed result. Defaults to True. If false, will return a bunch of extra information about the generation.

param tags: Optional[List[str]] = None¶: Optional list of tags associated with the chain. Defaults to None. These tags will be associated with each call to this chain, and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks. You can use these to eg identify a specific instance of a chain with its use case.

param verbose: bool [Optional]¶: Whether or not run in verbose mode. In verbose mode, some intermediate logs will be printed to the console. Defaults to the global verbose value, accessible via langchain.globals.get_verbose().

__call__(inputs: Union[Dict[str, Any], Any], return_only_outputs: bool = False, callbacks: Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]] = None, *, tags: Optional[List[str]] = None, metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, run_name: Optional[str] = None, include_run_info: bool = False) → Dict[str, Any]¶

Execute the chain.

Parameters

inputs – Dictionary of inputs, or single input if chain expects only one param. Should contain all inputs specified in Chain.input_keys except for inputs that will be set by the chain’s memory.
return_only_outputs – Whether to return only outputs in the response. If True, only new keys generated by this chain will be returned. If False, both input keys and new keys generated by this chain will be returned. Defaults to False.
callbacks – Callbacks to use for this chain run. These will be called in addition to callbacks passed to the chain during construction, but only these runtime callbacks will propagate to calls to other objects.
tags – List of string tags to pass to all callbacks. These will be passed in addition to tags passed to the chain during construction, but only these runtime tags will propagate to calls to other objects.
metadata – Optional metadata associated with the chain. Defaults to None
include_run_info – Whether to include run info in the response. Defaults to False.

Returns

A dict of named outputs. Should contain all outputs specified in: Chain.output_keys.

async aapply(input_list: List[Dict[str, Any]], callbacks: Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]] = None) → List[Dict[str, str]]¶: Utilize the LLM generate method for speed gains.

async aapply_and_parse(input_list: List[Dict[str, Any]], callbacks: Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]] = None) → Sequence[Union[str, List[str], Dict[str, str]]]¶: Call apply and then parse the results.

async abatch(inputs: List[Input], config: Optional[Union[RunnableConfig, List[RunnableConfig]]] = None, *, return_exceptions: bool = False, **kwargs: Optional[Any]) → List[Output]¶

The default implementation of batch works well for IO bound runnables.

Subclasses should override this method if they can batch more efficiently; e.g., if the underlying runnable uses an API which supports a batch mode.

async acall(inputs: Union[Dict[str, Any], Any], return_only_outputs: bool = False, callbacks: Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]] = None, *, tags: Optional[List[str]] = None, metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, run_name: Optional[str] = None, include_run_info: bool = False) → Dict[str, Any]¶

Asynchronously execute the chain.

Parameters

inputs – Dictionary of inputs, or single input if chain expects only one param. Should contain all inputs specified in Chain.input_keys except for inputs that will be set by the chain’s memory.
return_only_outputs – Whether to return only outputs in the response. If True, only new keys generated by this chain will be returned. If False, both input keys and new keys generated by this chain will be returned. Defaults to False.
callbacks – Callbacks to use for this chain run. These will be called in addition to callbacks passed to the chain during construction, but only these runtime callbacks will propagate to calls to other objects.
tags – List of string tags to pass to all callbacks. These will be passed in addition to tags passed to the chain during construction, but only these runtime tags will propagate to calls to other objects.
metadata – Optional metadata associated with the chain. Defaults to None

The default implementation allows usage of async code even if the runnable did not implement a native async version of invoke.

Subclasses should override this method if they can run asynchronously.

apply(input_list: List[Dict[str, Any]], callbacks: Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]] = None) → List[Dict[str, str]]¶: Utilize the LLM generate method for speed gains.

async arun(*args: Any, callbacks: Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]] = None, tags: Optional[List[str]] = None, metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, **kwargs: Any) → Any¶

Convenience method for executing chain.

The main difference between this method and Chain.__call__ is that this method expects inputs to be passed directly in as positional arguments or keyword arguments, whereas Chain.__call__ expects a single input dictionary with all the inputs

Parameters

*args – If the chain expects a single input, it can be passed in as the sole positional argument.
callbacks – Callbacks to use for this chain run. These will be called in addition to callbacks passed to the chain during construction, but only these runtime callbacks will propagate to calls to other objects.
tags – List of string tags to pass to all callbacks. These will be passed in addition to tags passed to the chain during construction, but only these runtime tags will propagate to calls to other objects.
**kwargs – If the chain expects multiple inputs, they can be passed in directly as keyword arguments.

Returns

The chain output.

Example

# Suppose we have a single-input chain that takes a 'question' string:
await chain.arun("What's the temperature in Boise, Idaho?")
# -> "The temperature in Boise is..."

# Suppose we have a multi-input chain that takes a 'question' string
# and 'context' string:
question = "What's the temperature in Boise, Idaho?"
context = "Weather report for Boise, Idaho on 07/03/23..."
await chain.arun(question=question, context=context)
# -> "The temperature in Boise is..."

async astream(input: Input, config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None, **kwargs: Optional[Any]) → AsyncIterator[Output]¶: Default implementation of astream, which calls ainvoke. Subclasses should override this method if they support streaming output.

async astream_log(input: Any, config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None, *, diff: bool = True, with_streamed_output_list: bool = True, include_names: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, include_types: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, include_tags: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, exclude_names: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, exclude_types: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, exclude_tags: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, **kwargs: Optional[Any]) → Union[AsyncIterator[RunLogPatch], AsyncIterator[RunLog]]¶
