Maximal marginal relevance optimizes for similarity to query AND diversity
among selected documents.
Parameters
embedding – Embedding to look up documents similar to.
k – Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.
fetch_k – Number of Documents to fetch to pass to MMR algorithm.
lambda_mult – Number between 0 and 1 that determines the degree
of diversity among the results with 0 corresponding
to maximum diversity and 1 to minimum diversity.
Defaults to 0.5.
filter (Optional[Dict[str, str]]) – Filter by metadata. Defaults to None.
Returns
List of Documents selected by maximal marginal relevance.
persist() → None[source]#
Persist the collection.
This can be used to explicitly persist the data to disk.
It will also be called automatically when the object is destroyed.
similarity_search(query: str, k: int = 4, filter: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, **kwargs: Any) → List[langchain.schema.Document][source]#
Run similarity search with Chroma.
Parameters
query (str) – Query text to search for.
k (int) – Number of results to return. Defaults to 4.
filter (Optional[Dict[str, str]]) – Filter by metadata. Defaults to None.
Returns
List of documents most similar to the query text.
Return type
List[Document]
similarity_search_by_vector(embedding: List[float], k: int = 4, filter: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, **kwargs: Any) → List[langchain.schema.Document][source]#
Return docs most similar to embedding vector.
:param embedding: Embedding to look up documents similar to.
:type embedding: str
:param k: Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.
