LlamaIndex is a data retrieval and analysis tool to for process and query large text datasets with advanced machine learning models and database technologies using RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).

• Data Processing 🔄: Efficient document loading with PyMuPDFReader, and optimized data handling using SentenceSplitter.
• Advanced Query Capabilities 🔍: Deep text understanding with LlamaCPP, and natural language querying via QueryBundle.
• Flexible Data Storage 🗃️: Effective vector management in PostgreSQL databases with PGVectorStore.
• Command Line Interface 🌐: Simplified command-line interface with clear operation logging.

• Environment Configuration 🌍: Set up LLAMA_MODEL_PATH, DOCUMENT_PATH, DB_PASSWORD.
• Database Initialization 🛠️: Initialize PostgreSQL with PGVectorStore, and connect using psycopg2.

Install psycopg2 with pip install psycopg2 for PostgreSQL interaction in Python.

• Connection Issues: Check server status, credentials, and firewall settings.
• Performance Bottlenecks: Analyze queries with EXPLAIN and optimize indexing.
• Locks and Deadlocks: Monitor and manage database locks.

Install necessary Python packages, set up environment variables, and configure PostgreSQL.

1. Load documents using PyMuPDFReader.
2. Parse text with SentenceSplitter.

• Experimented with various models on Hugging Face, including BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5 and dbmdz/bert-base-german-cased.
• Final selection: TheBloke/em_german_leo_mistral-GGUF for German content.
• Switch models in HuggingFaceEmbedding instantiation.

• Initialize PostgreSQL database and connect using psycopg2.
• Manage document embeddings with PGVectorStore.

1. Write your query as a string.
2. Generate query embeddings.
3. Retrieve and rank documents with VectorDBRetriever and RetrieverQueryEngine.

• LlamaCPP Model Settings: model_path, temperature, max_new_tokens, context_window, model_kwargs.
• Database Connection Settings: db_name, host, password, port, user.
• Vector Store Configuration: table_name, embed_dim.
• Document Processing and Query Settings: chunk_size, similarity_top_k.

• Start with psql -U username -d dbname.
• Connect to a database with \c dbname.
• Execute SQL files with \i path/to/file.sql.
• Exit with \q.

• Create/Delete Database: CREATE DATABASE dbname;, DROP DATABASE dbname;
• Create User: CREATE USER username WITH PASSWORD 'password';
• Grant Privileges: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE dbname TO username;
• List Databases/Tables: \l, \dt
• Display Table Structure: \d tablename
• Run a Query: SELECT * FROM tablename;

CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS PGVectorStore;

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) in LlamaIndex enhances data retrieval with a combination of retrieval-based and generative AI models.

1. Retrieval System: Uses PGVectorStore for vector-based retrieval.
2. Generative System: Uses models like LlamaCPP for generating coherent responses.

1. Document Chunking and Embedding with SentenceSplitter and HuggingFaceEmbedding.
2. Query Processing: Embed queries and match with document embeddings.
3. Contextualization and Generation with LlamaCPP.

1. Chunk Size Optimization: Explore different chunk sizes.
2. Contextual Metadata Enhancement: Add semantic tags and thematic links.
3. Model Experimentation and Tuning: Continue exploring models for multilingual content.
