Intel's Visual Data Management System (VDMS)
Intel's VDMS is a storage solution for efficient access of big-”visual”-data that aims to achieve cloud scale by searching for relevant visual data via visual metadata stored as a graph and enabling machine friendly enhancements to visual data for faster access. VDMS is licensed under MIT.
VDMS supports:
- K nearest neighbor search
- Euclidean distance (L2) and inner product (IP)
- Libraries for indexing and computing distances: TileDBDense, TileDBSparse, FaissFlat (Default), FaissIVFFlat
- Vector and metadata searches
VDMS has server and client components. To setup the server, see the installation instructions or use the docker image.
This notebook shows how to use VDMS as a vector store using the docker image.
To begin, install the Python packages for the VDMS client and Sentence Transformers:
# Pip install necessary package
%pip install --upgrade --quiet pip sentence-transformers vdms "unstructured-inference==0.6.6";
Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages.
Start VDMS Server​
Here we start the VDMS server with port 55555.
!docker run --rm -d -p 55555:55555 --name vdms_vs_test_nb intellabs/vdms:latest
e6061b270eef87de5319a6c5af709b36badcad8118069a8f6b577d2e01ad5e2d
Basic Example (using the Docker Container)​
In this basic example, we demonstrate adding documents into VDMS and using it as a vector database.
You can run the VDMS Server in a Docker container separately to use with LangChain which connects to the server via the VDMS Python Client.
VDMS has the ability to handle multiple collections of documents, but the LangChain interface expects one, so we need to specify the name of the collection . The default collection name used by LangChain is "langchain".
import time
from langchain_community.document_loaders.text import TextLoader
from langchain_community.embeddings.huggingface import HuggingFaceEmbeddings
from langchain_community.vectorstores import VDMS
from langchain_community.vectorstores.vdms import VDMS_Client
from langchain_text_splitters.character import CharacterTextSplitter
time.sleep(2)
DELIMITER = "-" * 50
# Connect to VDMS Vector Store
vdms_client = VDMS_Client(host="localhost", port=55555)
Here are some helper functions for printing results.
def print_document_details(doc):
print(f"Content:\n\t{doc.page_content}\n")
print("Metadata:")
for key, value in doc.metadata.items():
if value != "Missing property":
print(f"\t{key}:\t{value}")
def print_results(similarity_results, score=True):
print(f"{DELIMITER}\n")
if score:
for doc, score in similarity_results:
print(f"Score:\t{score}\n")
print_document_details(doc)
print(f"{DELIMITER}\n")
else:
for doc in similarity_results:
print_document_details(doc)
print(f"{DELIMITER}\n")
def print_response(list_of_entities):
for ent in list_of_entities:
for key, value in ent.items():
if value != "Missing property":
print(f"\n{key}:\n\t{value}")
print(f"{DELIMITER}\n")
Load Document and Obtain Embedding Function​
Here we load the most recent State of the Union Address and split the document into chunks.
LangChain vector stores use a string/keyword id for bookkeeping documents. By default, id is a uuid but here we're defining it as an integer cast as a string. Additional metadata is also provided with the documents and the HuggingFaceEmbeddings are used for this example as the embedding function.
# load the document and split it into chunks
document_path = "../../modules/state_of_the_union.txt"
raw_documents = TextLoader(document_path).load()
# split it into chunks
text_splitter = CharacterTextSplitter(chunk_size=1000, chunk_overlap=0)
docs = text_splitter.split_documents(raw_documents)
ids = []
for doc_idx, doc in enumerate(docs):
ids.append(str(doc_idx + 1))
docs[doc_idx].metadata["id"] = str(doc_idx + 1)
docs[doc_idx].metadata["page_number"] = int(doc_idx + 1)
docs[doc_idx].metadata["president_included"] = (
"president" in doc.page_content.lower()
)
print(f"# Documents: {len(docs)}")
# create the open-source embedding function
embedding = HuggingFaceEmbeddings()
print(
f"# Embedding Dimensions: {len(embedding.embed_query('This is a test document.'))}"
)
# Documents: 42
# Embedding Dimensions: 768
Similarity Search using Faiss Flat and Euclidean Distance (Default)​
In this section, we add the documents to VDMS using FAISS IndexFlat indexing (default) and Euclidena distance (default) as the distance metric for simiarity search. We search for three documents (k=3) related to the query What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson.
# add data
collection_name = "my_collection_faiss_L2"
db = VDMS.from_documents(
docs,
client=vdms_client,
ids=ids,
collection_name=collection_name,
embedding=embedding,
)
# Query (No metadata filtering)
k = 3
query = "What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson"
returned_docs = db.similarity_search(query, k=k, filter=None)

And for our LGBTQ+ Americans, let’s finally get the bipartisan Equality Act to my desk. The onslaught of state laws targeting transgender Americans and their families is wrong.
As I said last year, especially to our younger transgender Americans, I will always have your back as your President, so you can be yourself and reach your God-given potential.
While it often appears that we never agree, that isn’t true. I signed 80 bipartisan bills into law last year. From preventing government shutdowns to protecting Asian-Americans from still-too-common hate crimes to reforming military justice.
And soon, we’ll strengthen the Violence Against Women Act that I first wrote three decades ago. It is important for us to show the nation that we can come together and do big things.
So tonight I’m offering a Unity Agenda for the Nation. Four big things we can do together.
First, beat the opioid epidemic.

Last month, I announced our plan to supercharge
the Cancer Moonshot that President Obama asked me to lead six years ago.
Our goal is to cut the cancer death rate by at least 50% over the next 25 years, turn more cancers from death sentences into treatable diseases.
More support for patients and families.
To get there, I call on Congress to fund ARPA-H, the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health.
It’s based on DARPA—the Defense Department project that led to the Internet, GPS, and so much more.
ARPA-H will have a singular purpose—to drive breakthroughs in cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and more.
A unity agenda for the nation.
We can do this.
My fellow Americans—tonight , we have gathered in a sacred space—the citadel of our democracy.
In this Capitol, generation after generation, Americans have debated great questions amid great strife, and have done great things.
We have fought for freedom, expanded liberty, defeated totalitarianism and terror.

Update and Delete​
While building toward a real application, you want to go beyond adding data, and also update and delete data.
Here is a basic example showing how to do so. First, we will update the metadata for the document most relevant to the query.
doc = db.similarity_search(query)[0]
print(f"Original metadata: \n\t{doc.metadata}")
# update the metadata for a document
doc.metadata["new_value"] = "hello world"
print(f"new metadata: \n\t{doc.metadata}")
print(f"{DELIMITER}\n")
# Update document in VDMS
id_to_update = doc.metadata["id"]
db.update_document(collection_name, id_to_update, doc)
response, response_array = db.get(
collection_name, constraints={"id": ["==", id_to_update]}
)
# Display Results
print(f"UPDATED ENTRY (id={id_to_update}):")
print_response([response[0]["FindDescriptor"]["entities"][0]])
Original metadata:
{'id': '32', 'page_number': 32, 'president_included': True, 'source': '../../modules/state_of_the_union.txt'}
new metadata:
{'id': '32', 'page_number': 32, 'president_included': True, 'source': '../../modules/state_of_the_union.txt', 'new_value': 'hello world'}

id_to_remove = ids[-1]
db.delete(collection_name=collection_name, ids=[id_to_remove])

Other Information​
VDMS supports various types of visual data and operations. Some of the capabilities are integrated in the LangChain interface but additional workflow improvements will be added as VDMS is under continuous development.
Addtional capabilities integrated into LangChain are below.
Similarity search by vector​
Instead of searching by string query, you can also search by embedding/vector.
embedding_vector = embedding.embed_query(query)

Filtering on metadata​
It can be helpful to narrow down the collection before working with it.
For example, collections can be filtered on metadata using the get method. A dictionary is used to filter metadata. Here we retrieve the document where id = 2 and remove it from the vector store.
response, response_array = db.get(
collection_name,
limit=1,
include=["metadata", "embeddings"],
constraints={"id": ["==", "2"]},
