    The POC use case I want to try is to query vehicle parts based on a user description which can be somewhat vague and keyword search is not ideal most of the time. I'd also want to do search-as-you-type with a vector db. My understanding is that there are embedding models trained on vehicle parts and seeing how easy it so specify a new embedding model although you have to remember the collection, I hope I can prove my POC. In addition, I want to use the persisted collection for other ideas as well. Thanks for making this video it really helps.

    Thank you so much for an easy-to-follow, practical example! I’m curious about something… at one point in the video you note illustrate that the default embeddings are returning something unrelated (sesame ball) as the #1 choice. Your solution is to swap it out for another embedding provider. But how would you go about digging in here and debugging further?

  • @johnnycode

    @johnnycode

    4 ай бұрын

    Unfortunately, when it comes to the search results, we are at the mercy of how 'smart' the embedding model is. The term 'sesame ball' is a translation and unique to this restaurant's menu, so I wouldn't expect models to know the meaning of the term. Somehow, its vector representation is close to the word shrimp for the first model, but we don't have a way to 'debug' it. Here are some things that we have control of: 1. Changing the amount of text (short phrase, sentences, paragraphs, vs pages) per embedding. The more that is packed into one embedding, the harder it is for the model to be accurate. 2. Switch distance function to another one like Cosine Similarity: docs.trychroma.com/usage-guide#changing-the-distance-function 3. Switch to a more powerful, possibly paid, model, see listed of model and the section on Custom Embedding Functions: docs.trychroma.com/embeddings 4. Fine tune a model to understand the terms used by your organization.

    Hi there I have a csv file with 150 rows.

    If you use my code and the CSV provided in my GitHub repo (github.com/johnnycode8/chromadb_quickstart), does the document field show up? If the document field does show up, then you should check your loading logic. If the document field does not show up, check the part of the video that talks about using "include": collection.query(... include=[ "documents" ] ) I don't see a publish document field size limit. Are you loading extremely long docs?

    @johnnycode, Is there any idea how to manage this error that occurs when I try to load previously saved chromadb file, e.g. "vectordb": InvalidDimensionException: Embedding dimension 384 does not match collection dimensionality 768?

    You must use the same Embedding Function that you used to create that database. Embedding Functions convert text to a matrix of numbers and different Embedding Functions use different dimensions, so you can't use them interchangeably.

    Here are a few suggestions, hope this helps: 1. Are you embedding a short phrase, a few sentences, paragraphs, or pages? The more that is packed into 1 embedding, the harder it is for the model to be accurate. 2. Try switching the distance function to another one like Cosine Similarity: docs.trychroma.com/usage-guide#changing-the-distance-function 3.

    How do the models know that shrimp and prawn is the same thing? Like how did the first model not get all 5 dishes, but the second model found all 5 dishes?

  • @johnnycode

    @johnnycode

    Ай бұрын

    The models are trained to understand language like ChatGPT’s models. The second model in the video is a larger “smarter” model, so it performs better than the 1st. The disadvantages of a larger model is that it takes up more storage space, uses more computing power and memory, and is slower than a smaller model.

    I have a CSV file with 150 rows. I have created a collection and added my document to it. when i query it the document field always contains none but the id field give me the correct id but document field is always none. Is there any size constraint for the document field? How should I solve it?

    I think you should create a fresh database and collection and try again. If you had tried to insert records into the same IDs, it causes weird issues.

    You can run ChromaDB in-memory if you are prototyping and don't need to retain the data. However, if you want to retain the data, use persistence mode: client = chromadb.PersistentClient(path="/path/to/save/to") You can see that I use persistence mode in my other videos: kzread.info/head/PL58zEckBH8fA-R1ifTjTIjrdc3QKSk6hI I hope this answers your question.

    Thanks. I do have one or two questions if you don't mind, first client = chromadb.PersistentClient(path='content/drive') does not create the db on colab , the folder exist. It just defaults to in memory and store it there, not sure if that is because of colab? Also when I retrieve using ' document = collection.get(ids=[document_id], include=['documents'])' still brings the entire record instead of just documents, {'ids': ['kk'], 'embeddings': None, 'metadatas': None, 'documents': ['**Section 1: Numbers 1-5 in ......' am i doing this wrong? Thanks a bunch

    For question 1: path='content/drive' points to your Google Drive folder. Change it to something like path='content/myvectordb' or path='content/drive/My Drive/Colab Notebooks/myvectordb'. For question 2: The 'get' function will always return the entire record structure, but you can see that the data is not returned for your example: embeddings:None,metadatas:None.
