Construct Weaviate wrapper from raw documents.

This is a user-friendly interface that:

Embeds documents.
Creates a new index for the embeddings in the Weaviate instance.
Adds the documents to the newly created Weaviate index.

This is intended to be a quick way to get started.

Example

from langchain.vectorstores.weaviate import Weaviate
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
weaviate = Weaviate.from_texts(
    texts,
    embeddings,

Return docs selected using the maximal marginal relevance.

Maximal marginal relevance optimizes for similarity to query AND diversity among selected documents.

Parameters

query – Text to look up documents similar to.
k – Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.
fetch_k – Number of Documents to fetch to pass to MMR algorithm.
lambda_mult – Number between 0 and 1 that determines the degree of diversity among the results with 0 corresponding to maximum diversity and 1 to minimum diversity. Defaults to 0.5.

Returns

List of Documents selected by maximal marginal relevance.

max_marginal_relevance_search_by_vector(embedding: List[float], k: int = 4, fetch_k: int = 20, lambda_mult: float = 0.5, **kwargs: Any) → List[Document][source]¶

Return docs selected using the maximal marginal relevance.

Maximal marginal relevance optimizes for similarity to query AND diversity among selected documents.

Parameters

embedding – Embedding to look up documents similar to.
k – Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.
fetch_k – Number of Documents to fetch to pass to MMR algorithm.
lambda_mult – Number between 0 and 1 that determines the degree of diversity among the results with 0 corresponding to maximum diversity and 1 to minimum diversity. Defaults to 0.5.

Returns

List of Documents selected by maximal marginal relevance.

search(query: str, search_type: str, **kwargs: Any) → List[Document]¶: Return docs most similar to query using specified search type.

similarity_search(query: str, k: int = 4, **kwargs: Any) → List[Document][source]¶

Return docs most similar to query.

Parameters

query – Text to look up documents similar to.
k – Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.

Returns

List of Documents most similar to the query.

similarity_search_by_text(query: str, k: int = 4, **kwargs: Any) → List[Document][source]¶

Return docs most similar to query.

Parameters

query – Text to look up documents similar to.
k – Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.

Returns

List of Documents most similar to the query.

similarity_search_by_vector(embedding: List[float], k: int = 4, **kwargs: Any) → List[Document][source]¶: Look up similar documents by embedding vector in Weaviate.

similarity_search_with_relevance_scores(query: str, k: int = 4, **kwargs: Any) → List[Tuple[Document, float]]¶

Return docs and relevance scores in the range [0, 1].

0 is dissimilar, 1 is most similar.

Parameters

query – input text
k – Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.
**kwargs –
kwargs to be passed to similarity search. Should include: score_threshold: Optional, a floating point value between 0 to 1 to

filter the resulting set of retrieved docs

Returns

List of Tuples of (doc, similarity_score)

similarity_search_with_score(query: str, k: int = 4, **kwargs: Any) → List[Tuple[Document, float]][source]¶: Return list of documents most similar to the query text and cosine distance in float for each. Lower score represents more similarity.

property embeddings: Optional[langchain.embeddings.base.Embeddings]¶: Access the query embedding object if available.
