similarity_search_by_vector(embedding: List[float], k: int = 4, score_threshold: float | None = 0.0, **kwargs: Any) → List[Document][source]#

Return docs most similar to the embedding vector.

Parameters:

  • embedding (List[float])

  • k (int)

  • score_threshold (float | None)

  • kwargs (Any)

Return type:

List[Document]

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 (str) – Input text.

  • k (int) – Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.

  • **kwargs (Any) –

    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).

Return type:

list[tuple[Document, float]]

similarity_search_with_score(query: str, k: int = 4, score_threshold: float | None = 0.0, **kwargs: Any) → List[Tuple[Document, float]][source]#

Return docs and it’s scores most similar to query.

By default, supports Approximate Search. Also supports Script Scoring and Painless Scripting.

Parameters:

  • query (str) – Text to look up documents similar to.

  • k (int) – Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.

  • score_threshold (float | None) – Specify a score threshold to return only documents

  • 0.0. (above the threshold. Defaults to)

  • kwargs (Any)

Returns:

List of Documents along with its scores most similar to the query.

Return type:

List[Tuple[Document, float]]

Optional Args:

same as similarity_search

similarity_search_with_score_by_vector(embedding: List[float], k: int = 4, score_threshold: float | None = 0.0, **kwargs: Any) → List[Tuple[Document, float]][source]#

Return docs and it’s scores most similar to the embedding vector.

By default, supports Approximate Search. Also supports Script Scoring and Painless Scripting.

Parameters:

  • embedding (List[float]) – Embedding vector to look up documents similar to.

  • k (int) – Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.

  • score_threshold (float | None) – Specify a score threshold to return only documents

  • 0.0. (above the threshold. Defaults to)

  • kwargs (Any)

Returns:

List of Documents along with its scores most similar to the query.

Return type:

List[Tuple[Document, float]]

Optional Args:

same as similarity_search
