- Allow viewing image results returned by Semantic Search.
Until now there wasn't any interface within the app to view image
search results. For text results, we at least had the emacs interface
- This should help with debugging issues with image search too
For text the Swagger interface was good enough
- Copy images to accessible directory
- Return URL paths to them to ease access
- This is to be used in the web interface to render image results
directly in browser
- Return image, metadata scores for each image in response as well
This should help get a better sense of image scores along both
XMP metadata and whole image axis

- The filters to apply are configured for each type in the search controller
- Muliple filters can be applied on the query, entries etc before search
- The asymmetric query method now just applies the passed filters to the
query, entries and embeddings before semantic search is performed
Reason
--
This abstraction will simplify adding other pre-search filters. E.g datetime filter
- Issue
- Explicit filtering was earlier being done after search by bi-encoder
but before re-ranking by cross-encoder
- This was limiting the quality of results being returned. As the
bi-encoder returned results which were going to be excluded. So the
burden of improving those limited results post filtering was on the
cross-encoder by re-ranking the remaining results based on query
- Fix
- Given the embeddings corresponding to an entry are at the same index
in their respective lists. We can run the filter for blocked,
required words before the search by the bi-encoder model. And limit
entries, embeddings being considered for the current query
- Result
- Semantic search by the bi-encoder gets to return most relevant
results for the query, knowing that the results aren't going to be
filtered out after. So the cross-encoder shoulders less of the
burden of improving results
- Corollary
- This pre-filtering technique allows us to apply other explicit
filters on entries relevant for the current query
- E.g limit search for entries within date/time specified in query
- Use local variable to pass device to asymmetric.setup method via /reload, /regenerate API
- Set default argument to torch.device('cpu') instead of 'cpu' to be more formal
- The reload API adds the ability to separate out the loading of
embeddings from file without having to restart app or (re-)generate embeddings
- Before this the only way to load model from file was by restarting app
- The other way to reload the model embeddings by regenerating them
was to expensive for larger datasets
- This unlocks at least 1 use-case, where
- we regenerate model via an app instance running on a separate server and
- just reload the generated embeddings on the client device
- This allows us to offload the expensive embedding generation
compute to a background server while letting
- This avoids having to (re-)restart application on client device or
be forced to generate embeddings on the client device itself
- But it requires the model relevant files to be synced to the client device
This can be done with any file syncing application like Syncthing
- We can then call /regenerate on server and /reload client on a
regular schedule to keep our data up to date on semantic search
- Introduce prompt for GPT to automatically extract user's search intent
- Expose new search api endpoint to use that to set SearchType being
passed to search API
- Currently meant as an experimental API to gauge usefulness,
extendability. Evaluating for phone or voice use-case
Conversation logs structure now has session info too instead of just chat info
Session info will allow loading past conversation summaries as context for AI in new conversations
{
"session": [
{
"summary": <chat_session_summary>,
"session-start": <session_start_index_in_chat_log>,
"session-end": <session_end_index_in_chat_log>
}],
"chat": [
{
"intent": <intent-object>
"trigger-emotion": <emotion-triggered-by-message>
"by": <AI|Human>
"message": <chat_message>
"created": <message_created_date>
}]
}
Details
- Rename method query_* to query in search_types for standardization
- Wrapping Config code in classes simplified mocking test config
- Reduce args beings passed to a function by passing it as single
argument wrapped in a class
- Minimize setup in main.py:__main__. Put most of it into functions
These functions can be mocked if required in tests later too
Setup Flow:
CLI_Args|Config_YAML -> (Text|Image)SearchConfig -> (Text|Image)SearchModel
- Wrap Image, Music, Ledger search into the type of SearchModel they use
Similar to what was done for notes model by wrapping it's config
into an AsymmetricSearchModel.
- Use the uber wrapper class to expose all type specific search models
- Wrap asymmetric search model parameters into AsymmetricSearchModel class
- Create wrapper for all search type models. Put notes search model into it
- Test notes search end-to-end from client API layer to results.
Use model build on test data
- Cleaner, more idiomatic usage of a global variable
- Simplifies mocking when testing client in pytest as setting wrapped
in object rather than a simple type. So passed around by reference
- Use a SearchType to limit types that can be passed by user
- FastAPI automatically validates type passed in query param
- Available type options show up in Swagger UI, FastAPI docs
- controller code looks neater instead of doing string comparisons for type
- Test invalid, valid search types via pytest
- Break the compute embeddings method into separate methods:
compute_image_embeddings and compute_metadata_embeddings
- If image_metadata_embeddings isn't defined, do not use it to enhance
search results. Given image_metadata_embeddings wouldn't be defined
if use_xmp_metadata is False, we can avoid unnecessary addition of
args to query method
- Details
- The CLIP model can represent images, text in the same vector space
- Enhance CLIP's image understanding by augmenting the plain image
with it's text based metadata.
Specifically with any subject, description XMP tags on the image
- Improve results by combining plain image similarity score with
metadata similarity scores for the highest ranked images
- Minor Fixes
- Convert verbose to integer from bool in image_search.
It's already passed as integer from the main program entrypoint
- Process images with ".jpeg" extensions too
- YAML Config
- Can specify all params[1] earlier being passed via cmd args in config YAML
- Can now also configure sentence-transformer models to use etc for search
- [1] Config params
- org files
- compressed entries file config path
- embeddings file config path
- Include sample_config.yaml
- Include sample .org file from this repos readmes
- CLI
- Configuration Priority: Config via cmd > Config via YAML > Default Config
- Test CLI, include test config.yml for the tests
- Set default type to None unless set via query param to API
Run notes search if search_enabled, also if type is None (default)
Prepares for running queries on all search types unless type
specified in API query param
- Update Readme
