langchain 0.1.4¶

langchain.agents¶

Agent is a class that uses an LLM to choose a sequence of actions to take.

In Chains, a sequence of actions is hardcoded. In Agents, a language model is used as a reasoning engine to determine which actions to take and in which order.

Agents select and use Tools and Toolkits for actions.

langchain.chains¶

Chains are easily reusable components linked together.

Chains encode a sequence of calls to components like models, document retrievers, other Chains, etc., and provide a simple interface to this sequence.

The Chain interface makes it easy to create apps that are:

  • Stateful: add Memory to any Chain to give it state,

  • Observable: pass Callbacks to a Chain to execute additional functionality, like logging, outside the main sequence of component calls,

  • Composable: combine Chains with other components, including other Chains.

Functions¶

langchain.evaluation¶

Evaluation chains for grading LLM and Chain outputs.

This module contains off-the-shelf evaluation chains for grading the output of LangChain primitives such as language models and chains.

Loading an evaluator

To load an evaluator, you can use the load_evaluators or load_evaluator functions with the names of the evaluators to load.

from langchain.evaluation import load_evaluator

evaluator = load_evaluator("qa")
evaluator.evaluate_strings(
    prediction="We sold more than 40,000 units last week",
    input="How many units did we sell last week?",
    reference="We sold 32,378 units",
)

The evaluator must be one of EvaluatorType.

Datasets

To load one of the LangChain HuggingFace datasets, you can use the load_dataset function with the name of the dataset to load.

from langchain.evaluation import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("llm-math")

Some common use cases for evaluation include:

Low-level API

These evaluators implement one of the following interfaces:

  • StringEvaluator: Evaluate a prediction string against a reference label and/or input context.

  • PairwiseStringEvaluator: Evaluate two prediction strings against each other. Useful for scoring preferences, measuring similarity between two chain or llm agents, or comparing outputs on similar inputs.

  • AgentTrajectoryEvaluator Evaluate the full sequence of actions taken by an agent.

These interfaces enable easier composability and usage within a higher level evaluation framework.

langchain.indexes¶

Code to support various indexing workflows.

Provides code to:

  • Create knowledge graphs from data.

  • Support indexing workflows from LangChain data loaders to vectorstores.

Importantly, this keeps on working even if the content being written is derived via a set of transformations from some source content (e.g., indexing children documents that were derived from parent documents by chunking.)

This module provides utilities for connecting to LangSmith. For more information on LangSmith, see the LangSmith documentation.

Evaluation

LangSmith helps you evaluate Chains and other language model application components using a number of LangChain evaluators. An example of this is shown below, assuming you’ve created a LangSmith dataset called <my_dataset_name>:

from langsmith import Client
from langchain_community.chat_models import ChatOpenAI
from langchain.chains import LLMChain
from langchain.smith import RunEvalConfig, run_on_dataset

# Chains may have memory. Passing in a constructor function lets the
# evaluation framework avoid cross-contamination between runs.
def construct_chain():
    llm = ChatOpenAI(temperature=0)
    chain = LLMChain.from_string(
        llm,
        "What's the answer to {your_input_key}"
    )
    return chain

# Load off-the-shelf evaluators via config or the EvaluatorType (string or enum)
evaluation_config = RunEvalConfig(
    evaluators=[
        "qa",  # "Correctness" against a reference answer
        "embedding_distance",
        RunEvalConfig.Criteria("helpfulness"),
        RunEvalConfig.Criteria({
            "fifth-grader-score": "Do you have to be smarter than a fifth grader to answer this question?"
        }),
    ]
)

client = Client()
run_on_dataset(
    client,
    "<my_dataset_name>",
    construct_chain,
    evaluation=evaluation_config,
)

You can also create custom evaluators by subclassing the StringEvaluator or LangSmith’s RunEvaluator classes.

from typing import Optional
from langchain.evaluation import StringEvaluator

class MyStringEvaluator(StringEvaluator):

    @property
    def requires_input(self) -> bool:
        return False

    @property
    def requires_reference(self) -> bool:
        return True

    @property
    def evaluation_name(self) -> str:
        return "exact_match"

    def _evaluate_strings(self, prediction, reference=None, input=None, **kwargs) -> dict:
        return {"score": prediction == reference}


evaluation_config = RunEvalConfig(
    custom_evaluators = [MyStringEvaluator()],
)

    client,
    "<my_dataset_name>",
    construct_chain,
    evaluation=evaluation_config,
)
