MHLE-RAG: Multiscale, Hierarchical & Layered Embeddings for RAG

Overview

MHLE-RAG (MuLeRAG) is a prototype designed to parse, analyze, and query codebases across multiple programming languages at various scales. It leverages Tree-sitter for parsing and uses embedding-based search to enable intelligent code querying and augmented generation.

Key Features

1. Multiscale Analysis 🔍: Examines code at repository, file, class, and function levels.
2. Hierarchical Processing 🏗️: Recognizes and utilizes the structured nature of code repositories.
3. Layered Embeddings 🧩: Creates rich, contextual embeddings that capture code semantics at multiple granularities.
4. Multi-Language Support 🌐: Parses and analyzes code in Java, Kotlin, JavaScript, Go, Python, C++, C, and Swift.
5. Intelligent Querying 🤖: Allows natural language queries to find relevant code snippets across the codebase.
6. Augmented Generation 🚀: Utilizes retrieved context to enhance code generation capabilities.
7. Dependency Analysis 🕸️: Generates comprehensive dependency graphs at various scales.
8. Requirements Integration 📝: Optionally processes and integrates software requirements for holistic analysis.

Components

1. Tree-sitter Integration 🌳: Uses Tree-sitter grammars for accurate code parsing.
2. Multiscale AST Traversers 🛠️: Custom-written for each supported language to extract relevant code information at multiple levels.
3. Layered Embedding Generation 📚: Utilizes specified embedding models for hierarchical code representation.
4. Retrieval Augmented Query Engine 🔍: Implements similarity search on layered embeddings for efficient and context-aware code retrieval.
5. Multiscale Graph Generation 🗺️: Creates JSON representations of code dependencies at various levels of granularity.

Setup

1. Initialize Tree-sitter grammars:

   python grammar_utils/language_grammar_builder.py
   

2. Install required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Configure the Ollama backend or adjust the EMBEDDING_API_URL and LLM_API_URL as needed.

Usage

1. Process a codebase:

   python mhle_rag.py process --root_dir /path/to/your/codebase
   

2. (Optional) Process requirements:

   python mhle_rag.py process_requirements --requirements_csv /path/to/requirements.csv
   

3. Query the processed codebase:

   python mhle_rag.py query
   

Key Files

• mhle_rag.py: Main script for processing, querying, and generation.
• grammar_utils/ast_traversers.py: Contains language-specific multiscale AST traversal logic.
• assets/: Directory where processed data (embeddings, multiscale graphs) is stored.

Customization

• Extend LANGUAGE_DATA in the main script to add or modify supported languages.
• Adjust embedding models by modifying CODE_EMBEDDING_MODEL and REQUIREMENT_EMBEDDING_MODEL.

Advanced Features

• Hierarchical Querying 🏙️: Implements a multi-level approach to code retrieval, considering repo, file, class, and function levels.
• Dynamic Multiscale Graph Building 🖼️: Constructs graphs of query results to visualize code relationships across different scales.
• Context-Aware Extended Retrieval 🔎: Uses hierarchical dependency information to intelligently broaden the search scope.
• Augmented Code Generation 💡: Leverages retrieved context to generate or suggest code improvements.

Notes

• Ensure sufficient computational resources and disk space for processing and storing multiscale embeddings and hierarchical data.
• The tool's effectiveness scales with the quality of the embedding models and the structure of your codebase.
