Activeloop Deep Lake

Activeloop Deep Lake as a Multi-Modal Vector Store that stores embeddings and their metadata including text, Jsons, images, audio, video, and more. It saves the data locally, in your cloud, or on Activeloop storage. It performs hybrid search including embeddings and their attributes.

This notebook showcases basic functionality related to Activeloop Deep Lake. While Deep Lake can store embeddings, it is capable of storing any type of data. It is a serverless data lake with version control, query engine and streaming dataloaders to deep learning frameworks.

For more information, please see the Deep Lake documentation or api reference

Setting up

%pip install --upgrade --quiet  langchain-openai langchain-community 'deeplake[enterprise]' tiktoken

Example provided by Activeloop

Integration with LangChain.

Deep Lake locally

from langchain_community.vectorstores import DeepLake
from langchain_openai import OpenAIEmbeddings
from langchain_text_splitters import CharacterTextSplitter
import getpass
import os

if "OPENAI_API_KEY" not in os.environ:
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass("OpenAI API Key:")
activeloop_token = getpass.getpass("activeloop token:")
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
from langchain_community.document_loaders import TextLoader

loader = TextLoader("../../how_to/state_of_the_union.txt")
documents = loader.load()
text_splitter = CharacterTextSplitter(chunk_size=1000, chunk_overlap=0)
docs = text_splitter.split_documents(documents)

embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
API Reference:TextLoader

Create a local dataset

Create a dataset locally at ./deeplake/, then run similarity search. The Deeplake+LangChain integration uses Deep Lake datasets under the hood, so dataset and vector store are used interchangeably. To create a dataset in your own cloud, or in the Deep Lake storage, adjust the path accordingly.

db = DeepLake(dataset_path="./my_deeplake/", embedding=embeddings, overwrite=True)
db.add_documents(docs)
# or shorter
# db = DeepLake.from_documents(docs, dataset_path="./my_deeplake/", embedding=embeddings, overwrite=True)

Query dataset

query = "What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson"
docs = db.similarity_search(query)
Dataset(path='./my_deeplake/', tensors=['embedding', 'id', 'metadata', 'text'])

tensor htype shape dtype compression
------- ------- ------- ------- -------
embedding embedding (42, 1536) float32 None
id text (42, 1) str None
metadata json (42, 1) str None
text text (42, 1) str None

To disable dataset summary printings all the time, you can specify verbose=False during VectorStore initialization.

print(docs[0].page_content)
Tonight. I call on the Senate to: Pass the Freedom to Vote Act. Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. And while you’re at it, pass the Disclose Act so Americans can know who is funding our elections. 

Tonight, I’d like to honor someone who has dedicated his life to serve this country: Justice Stephen Breyer—an Army veteran, Constitutional scholar, and retiring Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Justice Breyer, thank you for your service.

One of the most serious constitutional responsibilities a President has is nominating someone to serve on the United States Supreme Court.

And I did that 4 days ago, when I nominated Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. One of our nation’s top legal minds, who will continue Justice Breyer’s legacy of excellence.

Later, you can reload the dataset without recomputing embeddings

db = DeepLake(dataset_path="./my_deeplake/", embedding=embeddings, read_only=True)
docs = db.similarity_search(query)
Deep Lake Dataset in ./my_deeplake/ already exists, loading from the storage

Deep Lake, for now, is single writer and multiple reader. Setting read_only=True helps to avoid acquiring the writer lock.

Deep Lake datasets on cloud (Activeloop, AWS, GCS, etc.) or in memory

By default, Deep Lake datasets are stored locally. To store them in memory, in the Deep Lake Managed DB, or in any object storage, you can provide the corresponding path and credentials when creating the vector store. Some paths require registration with Activeloop and creation of an API token that can be retrieved here

os.environ["ACTIVELOOP_TOKEN"] = activeloop_token
# Embed and store the texts
username = "<USERNAME_OR_ORG>" # your username on app.activeloop.ai

tensor_db execution option

In order to utilize Deep Lake's Managed Tensor Database, it is necessary to specify the runtime parameter as {'tensor_db': True} during the creation of the vector store. This configuration enables the execution of queries on the Managed Tensor Database, rather than on the client side. It should be noted that this functionality is not applicable to datasets stored locally or in-memory. In the event that a vector store has already been created outside of the Managed Tensor Database, it is possible to transfer it to the Managed Tensor Database by following the prescribed steps.

# Embed and store the texts
username = "<USERNAME_OR_ORG>" # your username on app.activeloop.ai
dataset_path = f"hub://{username}/langchain_testing"

docs = text_splitter.split_documents(documents)

embedding = OpenAIEmbeddings()
