RAGxplorer

RAGxplorer is an interactive tool for visualizing document chunks in the embedding space, designed to diagnose and explore applications of the Retriever-Answer Generator (RAG) model.

Overview

RAGxplorer allows users to upload documents, convert them into chunked formats suitable for RAG applications, and visualize these chunks in an embedding space. This visualization aids in understanding how different chunks relate to each other and to specific queries, thereby providing insights into the workings of RAG-based systems.

Features

Document Upload: Users can upload PDF documents that they wish to analyze.
Chunk Configuration: Options to configure the chunk size and overlap, offering flexibility in how the document is processed.
Vector Database Creation: Builds a vector database from the uploaded document for efficient retrieval and visualization.
Query Expansion: Generates sub-questions and hypothetical answers to enhance the retrieval process.
Interactive Visualization: Utilizes Plotly for dynamic and informative visual representations of the data.

Modules

app.py: Main Streamlit application file, integrating all components and functionalities.
constants.py: Contains constant values and explanatory texts, especially regarding document chunking.
plots.py: Handles the plotting of data, leveraging Plotly for interactive visualization.
query_expansion.py: Manages query expansion, generating sub-questions and hypothetical answers.
rag_utils.py: Includes utility functions specific to the RAG model, such as building vector databases and handling text splitting.
ui.py: Manages user interface elements of the Streamlit app, focusing on layout and presentation.
utils.py: General utility functions assisting in session state initialization and data frame preparation.

Installation

To run RAGxplorer, ensure you have Python installed, and then install the necessary dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Setup OPENAI_API_KEY (required) and ANYSCALE_API_KEY (if you need anyscale). Copy the .streamlit/secrets.example.toml file to .streamlit/secrets.toml and fill in the values.
To start the application, run:
```
streamlit run app.py
```

Navigate to the URL provided by Streamlit to interact with the application.
