RAG AutoML tool for automatically finding an optimal RAG pipeline for your data.

There are many RAG pipelines and modules out there, but you don’t know what pipeline is great for “your own data” and "your own use-case." Making and evaluating all RAG modules is very time-consuming and hard to do. But without it, you will never know which RAG pipeline is the best for your own use-case.

AutoRAG is a tool for finding the optimal RAG pipeline for “your data.” You can evaluate various RAG modules automatically with your own evaluation data and find the best RAG pipeline for your own use-case.

AutoRAG supports a simple way to evaluate many RAG module combinations. Try now and find the best RAG pipeline for your own use-case.

pip install AutoRAG

RAG Optimization requires two types of data: QA dataset and Corpus dataset.

1. QA dataset file (qa.parquet)
2. Corpus dataset file (corpus.parquet)

QA dataset is important for accurate and reliable evaluation and optimization.

Corpus dataset is critical to the performance of RAGs. This is because RAG uses the corpus to retrieve documents and generate answers using it.

modules:
  - module_type: langchain_parse
    parse_method: pdfminer

You can also use multiple Parse modules at once. However, in this case, you'll need to return a new process for each parsed result.

You can parse your raw documents with just a few lines of code.

from autorag.parser import Parser

parser = Parser(data_path_glob="your/data/path/*")
parser.start_parsing("your/path/to/parse_config.yaml")

modules:
  - module_type: llama_index_chunk
    chunk_method: Token
    chunk_size: 1024
    chunk_overlap: 24
    add_file_name: en

You can also use multiple Chunk modules at once. In this case, you need to use one corpus to create QA and then map the rest of the corpus to QA Data. If the chunk method is different, the retrieval_gt will be different, so we need to remap it to the QA dataset.

You can chunk your parsed results with just a few lines of code.

from autorag.chunker import Chunker

chunker = Chunker.from_parquet(parsed_data_path="your/parsed/data/path")
chunker.start_chunking("your/path/to/chunk_config.yaml")

You can create QA dataset with just a few lines of code.

import pandas as pd
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI

from autorag.data.qa.filter.dontknow import dontknow_filter_rule_based
from autorag.data.qa.generation_gt.llama_index_gen_gt import (
    make_basic_gen_gt,
    make_concise_gen_gt,
)
from autorag.data.qa.schema import Raw, Corpus
from autorag.data.qa.query.llama_gen_query import factoid_query_gen
from autorag.data.qa.sample import random_single_hop

llm = OpenAI()
raw_df = pd.read_parquet("your/path/to/corpus.parquet")
raw_instance = Raw(raw_df)

corpus_df = pd.read_parquet("your/path/to/corpus.parquet")
corpus_instance = Corpus(corpus_df, raw_instance)

initial_qa = (
    corpus_instance.sample(random_single_hop, n=3)
    .map(
        lambda df: df.reset_index(drop=True),
    )
    .make_retrieval_gt_contents()
    .batch_apply(
        factoid_query_gen,  # query generation
        llm=llm,
    )
    .batch_apply(
        make_basic_gen_gt,  # answer generation (basic)
        llm=llm,
    )
    .batch_apply(
        make_concise_gen_gt,  # answer generation (concise)
        llm=llm,
    )
    .filter(
        dontknow_filter_rule_based,  # filter don't know
        lang="en",
    )
)

initial_qa.to_parquet('./qa.parquet', './corpus.parquet')

First, you need to set the config YAML file for your RAG optimization.

You can get various config YAML files at here. We highly recommend using pre-made config YAML files for starter.

If you want to make your own config YAML files, check out the Config YAML file section.

Here is an example of the config YAML file to use retrieval, prompt_maker, and generator nodes.

node_lines:
- node_line_name: retrieve_node_line  # Set Node Line (Arbitrary Name)
  nodes:
    - node_type: retrieval  # Set Retrieval Node
      strategy:
        metrics: [retrieval_f1, retrieval_recall, retrieval_ndcg, retrieval_mrr]  # Set Retrieval Metrics
      top_k: 3
      modules:
        - module_type: vectordb
          embedding_model: openai
        - module_type: bm25
        - module_type: hybrid_rrf
          weight_range: (4,80)
- node_line_name: post_retrieve_node_line  # Set Node Line (Arbitrary Name)
  nodes:
    - node_type: prompt_maker  # Set Prompt Maker Node
      strategy:
        metrics:   # Set Generation Metrics
          - metric_name: meteor
          - metric_name: rouge
          - metric_name: sem_score
            embedding_model: openai
      modules:
        - module_type: fstring
          prompt: "Read the passages and answer the given question. \n Question: {query} \n Passage: {retrieved_contents} \n Answer : "
    - node_type: generator  # Set Generator Node
      strategy:
        metrics:  # Set Generation Metrics
          - metric_name: meteor
          - metric_name: rouge
          - metric_name: sem_score
            embedding_model: openai
      modules:
        - module_type: openai_llm
          llm: gpt-4o-mini
          batch: 16

You can evaluate your RAG pipeline with just a few lines of code.

from autorag.evaluator import Evaluator

evaluator = Evaluator(qa_data_path='your/path/to/qa.parquet', corpus_data_path='your/path/to/corpus.parquet')
evaluator.start_trial('your/path/to/config.yaml')

or you can use the command line interface

autorag evaluate --config your/path/to/default_config.yaml --qa_data_path your/path/to/qa.parquet --corpus_data_path your/path/to/corpus.parquet

Once it is done, you can see several files and folders created in your current directory. At the trial folder named to numbers (like 0), you can check summary.csv file that summarizes the evaluation results and the best RAG pipeline for your data.

For more details, you can check out how the folder structure looks like at here.

You can run a dashboard to easily see the result.

autorag dashboard --trial_dir /your/path/to/trial_dir

You can use a found optimal RAG pipeline right away with the extracted YAML file.

from autorag.deploy import Runner

runner = Runner.from_yaml('your/path/to/pipeline.yaml')
runner.run('your question')

You can run this pipeline as an API server.

Check out the API endpoint at here.

from autorag.deploy import Runner

runner = Runner.from_yaml('your/path/to/pipeline.yaml')
runner.run_api_server()

autorag run_api --config_path your/path/to/pipeline.yaml --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

you can run this pipeline as a web interface.

Check out the web interface at here.

autorag run_web --trial_path your/path/to/trial_path
