These changes improve context available to the search model.
Specifically this should improve entry context from short knowledge trees,
that is knowledge bases with sparse, short heading/entry trees
Previously we'd always split markdown files by headings, even if a
parent entry was small enough to fit entirely within the max token
limits of the search model. This used to reduce the context available
to the search model to select appropriate entries for a query,
especially from short entry trees
Revert back to using regex to parse through markdown file instead of
using MarkdownHeaderTextSplitter. It was easier to implement the
logical split using regexes rather than bend MarkdowHeaderTextSplitter
to implement it.
- DFS traverse the markdown knowledge tree, prefix ancestry to each entry
These changes improve entry context available to the search model
Specifically this should improve entry context from short knowledge trees,
that is knowledge bases with small files
Previously we split all markdown files by their headings,
even if the file was small enough to fit entirely within the max token
limits of the search model. This used to reduce the context available
to select the appropriate entries for a given query for the search model,
especially from short knowledge trees
- Previous simplistic chunking strategy of splitting text by space
didn't capture notes with newlines, no spaces. For e.g in #620
- New strategy will try chunk the text at more natural points like
paragraph, sentence, word first. If none of those work it'll split
at character to fit within max token limit
- Drop long words while preserving original delimiters
Resolves#620
This was earlier used when the index was plaintext jsonl file. Now
that documents are indexed in a DB this func is not required.
Simplify org,md,pdf,plaintext to entries tests by removing the entry
to jsonl conversion step
- Convert extract_org_entries function to actually extract org entries
Previously it was extracting intermediary org-node objects instead
Now it extracts the org-node objects from files and converts them
into entries
- Create separate, new function to extract_org_nodes from files
- Similarly create wrapper funcs for md, pdf, plaintext to entries
- Update org, md, pdf, plaintext to entries tests to use the new
simplified wrapper function to extract org entries
- Move green server connected dot to the bottom. Show status when
disconnected from server
- Move "New conversation" button to right of the "Conversation" title
- Center alignment of the new conversation and connection status buttons
- Overview
- Extract more structured date variants (e.g with dot(.) & slash(/) separators, 2-digit year)
- Extract some natural, partial dates as well from entries
- Capability
Add ability to extract the following additional date forms:
- Natural Dates: 21st April 2000, February 29 2024
- Partial Natural Dates: March 24, Mar 2024
- Structured Dates: 20/12/24, 20.12.2024, 2024/12/20
Note: Previously only YYYY-MM-DD ISO-8601 structured date form was extracted for date filters
- Performance
Using regexes is MUCH faster than using the `dateparser' python library
It's a little crude but gives acceptable performance for large datasets
## Benefits
- Support all GGUF format chat models
- Support more GPUs like AMD, Nvidia, Mac, Vulcan (previously just Vulcan, Mac)
- Support more capabilities like larger context window, schema enforcement, speculative decoding etc.
## Changes
### Major
- Use llama.cpp for offline chat models
- Support larger context window
- Automatically apply appropriate chat template. So offline chat models not using llama2 format are now supported
- Use better default offline chat model, NousResearch/Hermes-2-Pro-Mistral-7B
- Enable extract queries actor to improve notes search with offline chat
- Update documentation to use llama.cpp for offline chat in Khoj
### Minor
- Migrate to use NouseResearch's Hermes-2-Pro 7B as default offline chat model in khoj.yml
- Rename GPT4AllChatProcessor to OfflineChatProcessor Config, Model
- Only add location to image prompt generator when location known
- Much faster than using dateparser
- It took 2x-4x for improved regex to extracts 1-15% more dates
- Whereas It took 33x to 100x for dateparser to extract 65% - 400% more dates
- Improve date extractor tests to test deduping dates, natural,
structured date extraction from content
- Extract some natural, partial dates and more structured dates
Using regex is much faster than using dateparser. It's a little
crude but should pay off in performance.
Supports dates of form:
- (Day-of-Month) Month|AbbreviatedMonth Year|2DigitYear
- Month|AbbreviatedMonth (Day-of-Month) Year|2DigitYear
Previously we just extracted dates in YYYY-MM-DD format from content
for date filterings during search.
Use dateparser to extract dates across locales and natural language
This should improve notes returned as context when chat searches
knowledge base with date filters
Fallback to regex for date parsing from content if dateparser fails
- Limit natural date extractor capabilities to improve performance
- Assume language is english
Language detection otherwise takes a REALLY long time
- Do not extract unix timestamps, timezone
- This isn't required, as just using date and approximating dates as UTC
- When setting up the default agent, configure every conversation that doesn't have an agent to use the Khoj agent
- Fix reverse migration for the locale removal migration
Previously we were skipping the extract questions step for offline
chat as default offline chat model wasn't good enough to output proper
json given the time it took to extract questions.
The new default offline chat models gives json much more regularly and
with date filters, so the extract questions step becomes useful given
the impact on latency
