Elasticsearch：使用 Inference API 进行语义搜索-编程知识

在我之前的文章 “Elastic Search 8.12：让 Lucene 更快，让开发人员更快”，我有提到 Inference API。这些功能的核心部分始终是灵活的第三方模型管理，使客户能够利用当今市场上下载最多的向量数据库及其选择的转换器模型。在今天的文章中，我们将使用一个例子来展示如何使用 Inference API 来进行语义搜索。

前提条件

你需要安装 Elastic Stack 8.12 及以上版本。你可以是自托管的 Elasticsearch 集群或者是在 Elastic Cloud 上的部署
由于 OpenAI 免费试用 API 的使用受到限制，因此需要付费 OpenAI 帐户才能将推理 API 与 OpenAI 服务结合使用。

在今天的展示中，我将使用自己在电脑上搭建的 Elasticsearch 集群来进行展示。安装版本是 Elastic Stack 8.12。

安装

Elasticsearch 及 Kibana

如果你还没有安装好自己的 Elasticsearch 及 Kibana，请参考如下的链接来进行安装：

如何在 Linux，MacOS 及 Windows 上进行安装 Elasticsearch
Kibana：如何在 Linux，MacOS 及 Windows 上安装 Elastic 栈中的 Kibana

在安装的时候，我们可以选择 Elastic Stack 8.x 的安装指南来进行安装。在本博文中，我将使用最新的 Elastic Stack 8.10 来进行展示。

在安装 Elasticsearch 的过程中，我们需要记下如下的信息：

拷贝证书到当前工作目录

在客户端连接到 Elasticsearch 时，我们需要 Elasticsearch 的安装证书：

$ pwd
/Users/liuxg/python/elser
$ cp ~/elastic/elasticsearch-8.12.0/config/certs/http_ca.crt .
$ ls http_ca.crt 
http_ca.crt

安装需要的 Python 包

pip3 install elasticsearch load_dotenv

$ pip3 install elasticsearch

rag-elasticsearch                        0.0.1        /Users/liuxg/python/rag-elasticsearch/my-app/packages/rag-elasticsearch

设置环境变量

我们在 termnial 中打入如下的命令来设置环境变量：

export ES_USER=elastic
export ES_PASSWORD=xnLj56lTrH98Lf_6n76y
export OPENAI_API_KEY=YourOpenAIkey

你需要根据自己的 Elasticsearch 配置及 OpenAI key 进行上面的修改。你需要在启动下面的 jupyter 之前运行上面的命令。

创建数据集

我们在当前的目录下创建如下的一个数据集：

movies.json

应用设计

我们在当前的目录下打入如下的命令来启动 jupyter：

jupyter notebook

导入所需要的包

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch, helpers, exceptions
import json
import time,os
from dotenv import load_dotenvload_dotenv()openai_api_key=os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY')
elastic_user=os.getenv('ES_USER')
elastic_password=os.getenv('ES_PASSWORD')url = f"https://{elastic_user}:{elastic_password}@localhost:9200"
client = Elasticsearch(url, ca_certs = "./http_ca.crt", verify_certs = True)print(client.info())

从上面的输出中，我们可以看出来我们的 client 连接是成功的。更多关于如何连接到 Elasticsearch 的方法，请详细阅读文章 “Elasticsearch：关于在 Python 中使用 Elasticsearch 你需要知道的一切 - 8.x”。

创建 inference 任务

让我们使用 create inference API 创建推理任务。

为此，你i需要一个 OpenAI API 密钥，你可以在 OpenAI 帐户的 API 密钥部分下找到该密钥。由于 OpenAI 免费试用 API 的使用受到限制，因此需要付费会员才能完成本笔记本中的步骤。

client.inference.put_model(task_type="text_embedding",model_id="my_openai_embedding_model",body={"service": "openai","service_settings": {"api_key": openai_api_key},"task_settings": {"model": "text-embedding-ada-002"}}
)

使用推理处理器创建摄取管道

使用 put_pipeline 方法创建带有推理处理器的摄取管道。参考上面创建的 OpenAI 模型来推断管道中正在摄取的数据。

client.ingest.put_pipeline(id="openai_embeddings_pipeline", description="Ingest pipeline for OpenAI inference.",processors=[{"inference": {"model_id": "my_openai_embedding_model","input_output": {"input_field": "plot","output_field": "plot_embedding"}}}]
)

让我们记下该 API 调用中的一些重要参数：

inference：使用机器学习模型执行推理的处理器。
model_id：指定要使用的机器学习模型的ID。在此示例中，模型 ID 设置为 my_openai_embedding_model。使用你在创建推理任务时定义的模型 ID。
input_output：指定输入和输出字段。
input_field：创建密集向量表示的字段名称。
output_field：包含推理结果的字段名称。

创建索引

必须创建目标索引的映射（包含模型将根据你的输入文本创建的嵌入的索引）。目标索引必须具有 dense_vector 字段类型的字段，以索引 OpenAI 模型的输出。

让我们使用我们需要的映射创建一个名为 openai-movie-embeddings 的索引。

client.indices.delete(index="openai-movie-embeddings", ignore_unavailable=True)
client.indices.create(index="openai-movie-embeddings",settings={"index": {"default_pipeline": "openai_embeddings_pipeline"}},mappings={"properties": {"plot_embedding": { "type": "dense_vector", "dims": 1536, "similarity": "dot_product" },"plot": {"type": "text"}}}
)

插入文档

让我们插入 12 部电影的示例数据集。你需要一个付费的 OpenAI 帐户才能完成此步骤，否则文档提取将由于 API 请求速率限制而超时。

from elasticsearch import helperswith open('movies.json') as f:data_json = json.load(f)# Prepare the documents to be indexed
documents = []
for doc in data_json:documents.append({"_index": "openai-movie-embeddings","_source": doc,})# Use helpers.bulk to index
helpers.bulk(client, documents)print("Done indexing documents into `openai-movie-embeddings` index!")
time.sleep(3)

我们可以到 Kibana 中进行查看：

语义搜索

使用嵌入丰富数据集后，你可以使用语义搜索来查询数据。将 query_vector_builder 传递给 k 最近邻 (kNN) 向量搜索 API，并提供查询文本和用于创建嵌入的模型。

response = client.search(index='openai-movie-embeddings', size=3,knn={"field": "plot_embedding","query_vector_builder": {"text_embedding": {"model_id": "my_openai_embedding_model","model_text": "Fighting movie"}},"k": 10,"num_candidates": 100}
)for hit in response['hits']['hits']:doc_id = hit['_id']score = hit['_score']title = hit['_source']['title']plot = hit['_source']['plot']print(f"Score: {score}\nTitle: {title}\nPlot: {plot}\n")
