--- title: Large Language Models teaser: Integrating LLMs into structured NLP pipelines menu: - ['Config and implementation', 'config'] - ['Tasks', 'tasks'] - ['Models', 'models'] - ['Cache', 'cache'] - ['Various Functions', 'various-functions'] --- [The spacy-llm package](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-llm) integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) into spaCy, featuring a modular system for **fast prototyping** and **prompting**, and turning unstructured responses into **robust outputs** for various NLP tasks, **no training data** required. ## Config and implementation {id="config"} > #### Example > > ```python > # Construction via add_pipe with the default GPT 3.5 model and an explicitly defined task > config = {"task": {"@llm_tasks": "spacy.NER.v3", "labels": ["PERSON", "ORGANISATION", "LOCATION"]}} > llm = nlp.add_pipe("llm", config=config) > > # Construction via add_pipe with a task-specific factory and default GPT3.5 model > llm = nlp.add_pipe("llm_ner") > > # Construction via add_pipe with a task-specific factory and custom model > llm = nlp.add_pipe("llm_ner", config={"model": {"@llm_models": "spacy.Dolly.v1", "name": "dolly-v2-12b"}}) > > # Construction from class > from spacy_llm.pipeline import LLMWrapper > llm = LLMWrapper(vocab=nlp.vocab, task=task, model=model, cache=cache, save_io=True) > ``` An LLM component is implemented through the `LLMWrapper` class. It is accessible through a generic `llm` [component factory](https://spacy.io/usage/processing-pipelines#custom-components-factories) as well as through task-specific component factories: `llm_ner`, `llm_spancat`, `llm_rel`, `llm_textcat`, `llm_sentiment` and `llm_summarization`. For these factories, the GPT-3-5 model from OpenAI is used by default, but this can be customized. ### LLMWrapper.\_\_init\_\_ {id="init",tag="method"} Create a new pipeline instance. In your application, you would normally use a shortcut for this and instantiate the component using its string name and [`nlp.add_pipe`](/api/language#add_pipe). | Name | Description | | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `name` | String name of the component instance. `llm` by default. ~~str~~ | | _keyword-only_ | | | `vocab` | The shared vocabulary. ~~Vocab~~ | | `task` | An [LLM Task](#tasks) can generate prompts and parse LLM responses. ~~LLMTask~~ | | `model` | The [LLM Model](#models) queries a specific LLM API.. ~~Callable[[Iterable[Any]], Iterable[Any]]~~ | | `cache` | [Cache](#cache) to use for caching prompts and responses per doc. ~~Cache~~ | | `save_io` | Whether to save LLM I/O (prompts and responses) in the `Doc._.llm_io` custom attribute. ~~bool~~ | ### LLMWrapper.\_\_call\_\_ {id="call",tag="method"} Apply the pipe to one document. The document is modified in place and returned. This usually happens under the hood when the `nlp` object is called on a text and all pipeline components are applied to the `Doc` in order. > #### Example > > ```python > doc = nlp("Ingrid visited Paris.") > llm_ner = nlp.add_pipe("llm_ner") > # This usually happens under the hood > processed = llm_ner(doc) > ``` | Name | Description | | ----------- | -------------------------------- | | `doc` | The document to process. ~~Doc~~ | | **RETURNS** | The processed document. ~~Doc~~ | ### LLMWrapper.pipe {id="pipe",tag="method"} Apply the pipe to a stream of documents. This usually happens under the hood when the `nlp` object is called on a text and all pipeline components are applied to the `Doc` in order. > #### Example > > ```python > llm_ner = nlp.add_pipe("llm_ner") > for doc in llm_ner.pipe(docs, batch_size=50): > pass > ``` | Name | Description | | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | | `docs` | A stream of documents. ~~Iterable[Doc]~~ | | _keyword-only_ | | | `batch_size` | The number of documents to buffer. Defaults to `128`. ~~int~~ | | **YIELDS** | The processed documents in order. ~~Doc~~ | ### LLMWrapper.add_label {id="add_label",tag="method"} Add a new label to the pipe's task. Alternatively, provide the labels upon the [task](#task) definition, or through the `[initialize]` block of the [config](#config). > #### Example > > ```python > llm_ner = nlp.add_pipe("llm_ner") > llm_ner.add_label("MY_LABEL") > ``` | Name | Description | | ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | | `label` | The label to add. ~~str~~ | | **RETURNS** | `0` if the label is already present, otherwise `1`. ~~int~~ | ### LLMWrapper.to_disk {id="to_disk",tag="method"} Serialize the pipe to disk. > #### Example > > ```python > llm_ner = nlp.add_pipe("llm_ner") > llm_ner.to_disk("/path/to/llm_ner") > ``` | Name | Description | | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `path` | A path to a directory, which will be created if it doesn't exist. Paths may be either strings or `Path`-like objects. ~~Union[str, Path]~~ | | _keyword-only_ | | | `exclude` | String names of [serialization fields](#serialization-fields) to exclude. ~~Iterable[str]~~ | ### LLMWrapper.from_disk {id="from_disk",tag="method"} Load the pipe from disk. Modifies the object in place and returns it. > #### Example > > ```python > llm_ner = nlp.add_pipe("llm_ner") > llm_ner.from_disk("/path/to/llm_ner") > ``` | Name | Description | | -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `path` | A path to a directory. Paths may be either strings or `Path`-like objects. ~~Union[str, Path]~~ | | _keyword-only_ | | | `exclude` | String names of [serialization fields](#serialization-fields) to exclude. ~~Iterable[str]~~ | | **RETURNS** | The modified `LLMWrapper` object. ~~LLMWrapper~~ | ### LLMWrapper.to_bytes {id="to_bytes",tag="method"} > #### Example > > ```python > llm_ner = nlp.add_pipe("llm_ner") > ner_bytes = llm_ner.to_bytes() > ``` Serialize the pipe to a bytestring. | Name | Description | | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | _keyword-only_ | | | `exclude` | String names of [serialization fields](#serialization-fields) to exclude. ~~Iterable[str]~~ | | **RETURNS** | The serialized form of the `LLMWrapper` object. ~~bytes~~ | ### LLMWrapper.from_bytes {id="from_bytes",tag="method"} Load the pipe from a bytestring. Modifies the object in place and returns it. > #### Example > > ```python > ner_bytes = llm_ner.to_bytes() > llm_ner = nlp.add_pipe("llm_ner") > llm_ner.from_bytes(ner_bytes) > ``` | Name | Description | | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `bytes_data` | The data to load from. ~~bytes~~ | | _keyword-only_ | | | `exclude` | String names of [serialization fields](#serialization-fields) to exclude. ~~Iterable[str]~~ | | **RETURNS** | The `LLMWrapper` object. ~~LLMWrapper~~ | ### LLMWrapper.labels {id="labels",tag="property"} The labels currently added to the component. Empty tuple if the LLM's task does not require labels. > #### Example > > ```python > llm_ner.add_label("MY_LABEL") > assert "MY_LABEL" in llm_ner.labels > ``` | Name | Description | | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | | **RETURNS** | The labels added to the component. ~~Tuple[str, ...]~~ | ## Tasks {id="tasks"} ### Task implementation {id="task-implementation"} A _task_ defines an NLP problem or question, that will be sent to the LLM via a prompt. Further, the task defines how to parse the LLM's responses back into structured information. All tasks are registered in the `llm_tasks` registry. #### task.generate_prompts {id="task-generate-prompts"} Takes a collection of documents, and returns a collection of "prompts", which can be of type `Any`. Often, prompts are of type `str` - but this is not enforced to allow for maximum flexibility in the framework. | Argument | Description | | ----------- | ---------------------------------------- | | `docs` | The input documents. ~~Iterable[Doc]~~ | | **RETURNS** | The generated prompts. ~~Iterable[Any]~~ | #### task.parse_responses {id="task-parse-responses"} Takes a collection of LLM responses and the original documents, parses the responses into structured information, and sets the annotations on the documents. The `parse_responses` function is free to set the annotations in any way, including `Doc` fields like `ents`, `spans` or `cats`, or using custom defined fields. The `responses` are of type `Iterable[Any]`, though they will often be `str` objects. This depends on the return type of the [model](#models). | Argument | Description | | ----------- | ------------------------------------------ | | `docs` | The input documents. ~~Iterable[Doc]~~ | | `responses` | The generated prompts. ~~Iterable[Any]~~ | | **RETURNS** | The annotated documents. ~~Iterable[Doc]~~ | ### Summarization {id="summarization"} A summarization task takes a document as input and generates a summary that is stored in an extension attribute. #### spacy.Summarization.v1 {id="summarization-v1"} The `spacy.Summarization.v1` task supports both zero-shot and few-shot prompting. > #### Example config > > ```ini > [components.llm.task] > @llm_tasks = "spacy.Summarization.v1" > examples = null > max_n_words = null > ``` | Argument | Description | | --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `template` | Custom prompt template to send to LLM model. Defaults to [summarization.v1.jinja](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-llm/blob/main/spacy_llm/tasks/templates/summarization.v1.jinja). ~~str~~ | | `examples` | Optional function that generates examples for few-shot learning. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Callable[[], Iterable[Any]]]~~ | | `parse_responses` (NEW) | Callable for parsing LLM responses for this task. Defaults to the internal parsing method for this task. ~~Optional[TaskResponseParser[SummarizationTask]]~~ | | `prompt_example_type` (NEW) | Type to use for fewshot examples. Defaults to `SummarizationExample`. ~~Optional[Type[FewshotExample]]~~ | | `max_n_words` | Maximum number of words to be used in summary. Note that this should not expected to work exactly. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[int]~~ | | `field` | Name of extension attribute to store summary in (i. e. the summary will be available in `doc._.{field}`). Defaults to `summary`. ~~str~~ | The summarization task prompts the model for a concise summary of the provided text. It optionally allows to limit the response to a certain number of tokens - note that this requirement will be included in the prompt, but the task doesn't perform a hard cut-off. It's hence possible that your summary exceeds `max_n_words`. To perform [few-shot learning](/usage/large-language-models#few-shot-prompts), you can write down a few examples in a separate file, and provide these to be injected into the prompt to the LLM. The default reader `spacy.FewShotReader.v1` supports `.yml`, `.yaml`, `.json` and `.jsonl`. ```yaml - text: > The United Nations, referred to informally as the UN, is an intergovernmental organization whose stated purposes are to maintain international peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations, achieve international cooperation, and serve as a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations. It is the world's largest international organization. The UN is headquartered on international territory in New York City, and the organization has other offices in Geneva, Nairobi, Vienna, and The Hague, where the International Court of Justice is headquartered.\n\n The UN was established after World War II with the aim of preventing future world wars, and succeeded the League of Nations, which was characterized as ineffective. summary: 'The UN is an international organization that promotes global peace, cooperation, and harmony. Established after WWII, its purpose is to prevent future world wars.' ``` ```ini [components.llm.task] @llm_tasks = "spacy.Summarization.v1" max_n_words = 20 [components.llm.task.examples] @misc = "spacy.FewShotReader.v1" path = "summarization_examples.yml" ``` ### NER {id="ner"} The NER task identifies non-overlapping entities in text. #### spacy.NER.v3 {id="ner-v3"} Version 3 is fundamentally different to v1 and v2, as it implements Chain-of-Thought prompting, based on the [PromptNER paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.15444.pdf) by Ashok and Lipton (2023). On an internal use-case, we have found this implementation to obtain significant better accuracy - with an increase of F-score of up to 15 percentage points. > #### Example config > > ```ini > [components.llm.task] > @llm_tasks = "spacy.NER.v3" > labels = ["PERSON", "ORGANISATION", "LOCATION"] > ``` When no examples are [specified](/usage/large-language-models#few-shot-prompts), the v3 implementation will use a dummy example in the prompt. Technically this means that the task will always perform few-shot prompting under the hood. | Argument | Description | | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `template` | Custom prompt template to send to LLM model. Defaults to [ner.v3.jinja](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-llm/blob/main/spacy_llm/tasks/templates/ner.v3.jinja). ~~str~~ | | `examples` | Optional function that generates examples for few-shot learning. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Callable[[], Iterable[Any]]]~~ | | `parse_responses` (NEW) | Callable for parsing LLM responses for this task. Defaults to the internal parsing method for this task. ~~Optional[TaskResponseParser[NERTask]]~~ | | `prompt_example_type` (NEW) | Type to use for fewshot examples. Defaults to `NERExample`. ~~Optional[Type[FewshotExample]]~~ | | `scorer` | Scorer function that evaluates the task performance on provided examples. Defaults to the metric used by spaCy. ~~Optional[Scorer]~~ | | `labels` | List of labels or str of comma-separated list of labels. ~~Union[List[str], str]~~ | | `label_definitions` | Optional dict mapping a label to a description of that label. These descriptions are added to the prompt to help instruct the LLM on what to extract. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Dict[str, str]]~~ | | `description` (NEW) | A description of what to recognize or not recognize as entities. ~~str~~ | | `normalizer` | Function that normalizes the labels as returned by the LLM. If `None`, defaults to `spacy.LowercaseNormalizer.v1`. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Callable[[str], str]]~~ | | `alignment_mode` | Alignment mode in case the LLM returns entities that do not align with token boundaries. Options are `"strict"`, `"contract"` or `"expand"`. Defaults to `"contract"`. ~~str~~ | | `case_sensitive_matching` | Whether to search without case sensitivity. Defaults to `False`. ~~bool~~ | Note that the `single_match` parameter, used in v1 and v2, is not supported anymore, as the CoT parsing algorithm takes care of this automatically. New to v3 is the fact that you can provide an explicit description of what entities should look like. You can use this feature in addition to `label_definitions`. ```ini [components.llm.task] @llm_tasks = "spacy.NER.v3" labels = ["DISH", "INGREDIENT", "EQUIPMENT"] description = Entities are the names food dishes, ingredients, and any kind of cooking equipment. Adjectives, verbs, adverbs are not entities. Pronouns are not entities. [components.llm.task.label_definitions] DISH = "Known food dishes, e.g. Lobster Ravioli, garlic bread" INGREDIENT = "Individual parts of a food dish, including herbs and spices." EQUIPMENT = "Any kind of cooking equipment. e.g. oven, cooking pot, grill" ``` To perform [few-shot learning](/usage/large-language-models#few-shot-prompts), you can write down a few examples in a separate file, and provide these to be injected into the prompt to the LLM. The default reader `spacy.FewShotReader.v1` supports `.yml`, `.yaml`, `.json` and `.jsonl`. While not required, this task works best when both positive and negative examples are provided. The format is different than the files required for v1 and v2, as additional fields such as `is_entity` and `reason` should now be provided. ```json [ { "text": "You can't get a great chocolate flavor with carob.", "spans": [ { "text": "chocolate", "is_entity": false, "label": "==NONE==", "reason": "is a flavor in this context, not an ingredient" }, { "text": "carob", "is_entity": true, "label": "INGREDIENT", "reason": "is an ingredient to add chocolate flavor" } ] }, ... ] ``` ```ini [components.llm.task.examples] @misc = "spacy.FewShotReader.v1" path = "${paths.examples}" ``` For a fully working example, see this [usage example](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-llm/tree/main/usage_examples/ner_v3_openai). #### spacy.NER.v2 {id="ner-v2"} This version supports explicitly defining the provided labels with custom descriptions, and further supports zero-shot and few-shot prompting just like v1. > #### Example config > > ```ini > [components.llm.task] > @llm_tasks = "spacy.NER.v2" > labels = ["PERSON", "ORGANISATION", "LOCATION"] > examples = null > ``` | Argument | Description | | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `template` (NEW) | Custom prompt template to send to LLM model. Defaults to [ner.v2.jinja](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-llm/blob/main/spacy_llm/tasks/templates/ner.v2.jinja). ~~str~~ | | `examples` | Optional function that generates examples for few-shot learning. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Callable[[], Iterable[Any]]]~~ | | `parse_responses` (NEW) | Callable for parsing LLM responses for this task. Defaults to the internal parsing method for this task. ~~Optional[TaskResponseParser[NERTask]]~~ | | `prompt_example_type` (NEW) | Type to use for fewshot examples. Defaults to `NERExample`. ~~Optional[Type[FewshotExample]]~~ | | `scorer` (NEW) | Scorer function that evaluates the task performance on provided examples. Defaults to the metric used by spaCy. ~~Optional[Scorer]~~ | | `labels` | List of labels or str of comma-separated list of labels. ~~Union[List[str], str]~~ | | `label_definitions` (NEW) | Optional dict mapping a label to a description of that label. These descriptions are added to the prompt to help instruct the LLM on what to extract. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Dict[str, str]]~~ | | `normalizer` | Function that normalizes the labels as returned by the LLM. If `None`, defaults to `spacy.LowercaseNormalizer.v1`. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Callable[[str], str]]~~ | | `alignment_mode` | Alignment mode in case the LLM returns entities that do not align with token boundaries. Options are `"strict"`, `"contract"` or `"expand"`. Defaults to `"contract"`. ~~str~~ | | `case_sensitive_matching` | Whether to search without case sensitivity. Defaults to `False`. ~~bool~~ | | `single_match` | Whether to match an entity in the LLM's response only once (the first hit) or multiple times. Defaults to `False`. ~~bool~~ | The parameters `alignment_mode`, `case_sensitive_matching` and `single_match` are identical to the [v1](#ner-v1) implementation. The format of few-shot examples are also the same. > Label descriptions can also be used with explicit examples to give as much > info to the LLM model as possible. New to v2 is the fact that you can write definitions for each label and provide them via the `label_definitions` argument. This lets you tell the LLM exactly what you're looking for rather than relying on the LLM to interpret its task given just the label name. Label descriptions are freeform so you can write whatever you want here, but a brief description along with some examples and counter examples seems to work quite well. ```ini [components.llm.task] @llm_tasks = "spacy.NER.v2" labels = PERSON,SPORTS_TEAM [components.llm.task.label_definitions] PERSON = "Extract any named individual in the text." SPORTS_TEAM = "Extract the names of any professional sports team. e.g. Golden State Warriors, LA Lakers, Man City, Real Madrid" ``` For a fully working example, see this [usage example](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-llm/tree/main/usage_examples/ner_dolly). #### spacy.NER.v1 {id="ner-v1"} The original version of the built-in NER task supports both zero-shot and few-shot prompting. > #### Example config > > ```ini > [components.llm.task] > @llm_tasks = "spacy.NER.v1" > labels = PERSON,ORGANISATION,LOCATION > examples = null > ``` | Argument | Description | | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `examples` | Optional function that generates examples for few-shot learning. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Callable[[], Iterable[Any]]]~~ | | `parse_responses` (NEW) | Callable for parsing LLM responses for this task. Defaults to the internal parsing method for this task. ~~Optional[TaskResponseParser[NERTask]]~~ | | `prompt_example_type` (NEW) | Type to use for fewshot examples. Defaults to `NERExample`. ~~Optional[Type[FewshotExample]]~~ | | `scorer` (NEW) | Scorer function that evaluates the task performance on provided examples. Defaults to the metric used by spaCy. ~~Optional[Scorer]~~ | | `labels` | Comma-separated list of labels. ~~str~~ | | `normalizer` | Function that normalizes the labels as returned by the LLM. If `None`, defaults to `spacy.LowercaseNormalizer.v1`. ~~Optional[Callable[[str], str]]~~ | | `alignment_mode` | Alignment mode in case the LLM returns entities that do not align with token boundaries. Options are `"strict"`, `"contract"` or `"expand"`. Defaults to `"contract"`. ~~str~~ | | `case_sensitive_matching` | Whether to search without case sensitivity. Defaults to `False`. ~~bool~~ | | `single_match` | Whether to match an entity in the LLM's response only once (the first hit) or multiple times. Defaults to `False`. ~~bool~~ | The NER task implementation doesn't currently ask the LLM for specific offsets, but simply expects a list of strings that represent the enties in the document. This means that a form of string matching is required. This can be configured by the following parameters: - The `single_match` parameter is typically set to `False` to allow for multiple matches. For instance, the response from the LLM might only mention the entity "Paris" once, but you'd still want to mark it every time it occurs in the document. - The case-sensitive matching is typically set to `False` to be robust against case variances in the LLM's output. - The `alignment_mode` argument is used to match entities as returned by the LLM to the tokens from the original `Doc` - specifically it's used as argument in the call to [`doc.char_span()`](/api/doc#char_span). The `"strict"` mode will only keep spans that strictly adhere to the given token boundaries. `"contract"` will only keep those tokens that are fully within the given range, e.g. reducing `"New Y"` to `"New"`. Finally, `"expand"` will expand the span to the next token boundaries, e.g. expanding `"New Y"` out to `"New York"`. To perform [few-shot learning](/usage/large-language-models#few-shot-prompts), you can write down a few examples in a separate file, and provide these to be injected into the prompt to the LLM. The default reader `spacy.FewShotReader.v1` supports `.yml`, `.yaml`, `.json` and `.jsonl`. ```yaml - text: Jack and Jill went up the hill. entities: PERSON: - Jack - Jill LOCATION: - hill - text: Jack fell down and broke his crown. entities: PERSON: - Jack ``` ```ini [components.llm.task.examples] @misc = "spacy.FewShotReader.v1" path = "ner_examples.yml" ``` ### SpanCat {id="spancat"} The SpanCat task identifies potentially overlapping entities in text. #### spacy.SpanCat.v3 {id="spancat-v3"} The built-in SpanCat v3 task is a simple adaptation of the NER v3 task to support overlapping entities and store its annotations in `doc.spans`. > #### Example config > > ```ini > [components.llm.task] > @llm_tasks = "spacy.SpanCat.v3" > labels = ["PERSON", "ORGANISATION", "LOCATION"] > examples = null > ``` | Argument | Description | | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `template` | Custom prompt template to send to LLM model. Defaults to [`spancat.v3.jinja`](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-llm/blob/main/spacy_llm/tasks/templates/spancat.v3.jinja). ~~str~~ | | `examples` | Optional function that generates examples for few-shot learning. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Callable[[], Iterable[Any]]]~~ | | `parse_responses` (NEW) | Callable for parsing LLM responses for this task.

Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Dict[str, str]]~~ | | `description` (NEW) | A description of what to recognize or not recognize as entities. ~~str~~ | | `spans_key` | Key of the `Doc.spans` dict to save the spans under. Defaults to `"sc"`. ~~str~~ | | `normalizer` | Function that normalizes the labels as returned by the LLM. If `None`, defaults to `spacy.LowercaseNormalizer.v1`. ~~Optional[Callable[[str], str]]~~ | | `alignment_mode` | Alignment mode in case the LLM returns entities that do not align with token boundaries.

"POS" means that this example should be assigned the class label defined in the configuration, "NEG" means it shouldn't. E. g. for spam classification: ```json [ { "text": "You won the lottery! Wire a fee of 200$ to be able to withdraw your winnings.", "answer": "POS" }, { "text": "Your order #123456789 has arrived", "answer": "NEG" } ] ``` ### REL {id="rel"} The REL task extracts relations between named entities. #### spacy.REL.v1 {id="rel-v1"} The built-in REL task supports both zero-shot and few-shot prompting. It relies on an upstream NER component for entities extraction. > #### Example config > > ```ini > [components.llm.task] > @llm_tasks = "spacy.REL.v1" > labels = ["LivesIn", "Visits"] > ``` | Argument | Description | | --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `template` | Custom prompt template to send to LLM model.

Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Callable[[str], str]]~~ | | `verbose` | If set to `True`, warnings will be generated when the LLM returns invalid responses. Defaults to `False`. ~~bool~~ | To perform [few-shot learning](/usage/large-language-models#few-shot-prompts), you can write down a few examples in a separate file, and provide these to be injected into the prompt to the LLM. The default reader `spacy.FewShotReader.v1` supports `.yml`, `.yaml`, `.json` and `.jsonl`. ```json {"text": "Laura bought a house in Boston with her husband Mark.", "ents": [{"start_char": 0, "end_char": 5, "label": "PERSON"}, {"start_char": 24, "end_char": 30, "label": "GPE"}, {"start_char": 48, "end_char": 52, "label": "PERSON"}], "relations": [{"dep": 0, "dest": 1, "relation": "LivesIn"}, {"dep": 2, "dest": 1, "relation": "LivesIn"}]} {"text": "Michael travelled through South America by bike.", "ents": [{"start_char": 0, "end_char": 7, "label": "PERSON"}, {"start_char": 26, "end_char": 39, "label": "LOC"}], "relations": [{"dep": 0, "dest": 1, "relation": "Visits"}]} ``` ```ini [components.llm.task] @llm_tasks = "spacy.REL.v1" labels = ["LivesIn", "Visits"] [components.llm.task.examples] @misc = "spacy.FewShotReader.v1" path = "rel_examples.jsonl" ``` Note: the REL task relies on pre-extracted entities to make its prediction. Hence, you'll need to add a component that populates `doc.ents` with recognized spans to your spaCy pipeline and put it _before_ the REL component. For a fully working example, see this [usage example](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-llm/tree/main/usage_examples/rel_openai). ### Lemma {id="lemma"} The Lemma task lemmatizes the provided text and updates the `lemma_` attribute in the doc's tokens accordingly. #### spacy.Lemma.v1 {id="lemma-v1"} This task supports both zero-shot and few-shot prompting. > #### Example config > > ```ini > [components.llm.task] > @llm_tasks = "spacy.Lemma.v1" > examples = null > ``` | Argument | Description | | --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `template` | Custom prompt template to send to LLM model.

Defaults to `LemmaExample`. ~~Optional[Type[FewshotExample]]~~ | | `scorer` (NEW) | Scorer function that evaluates the task performance on provided examples. Defaults to the metric used by spaCy. ~~Optional[Scorer]~~ | The task prompts the LLM to lemmatize the passed text and return the lemmatized version as a list of tokens and their corresponding lemma. E. g. the text `I'm buying ice cream for my friends` should invoke the response ``` I: I 'm: be buying: buy ice: ice cream: cream for: for my: my friends: friend .: . ``` If for any given text/doc instance the number of lemmas returned by the LLM doesn't match the number of tokens from the pipeline's tokenizer, no lemmas are stored in the corresponding doc's tokens. Otherwise the tokens `.lemma_` property is updated with the lemma suggested by the LLM. To perform [few-shot learning](/usage/large-language-models#few-shot-prompts), you can write down a few examples in a separate file, and provide these to be injected into the prompt to the LLM. The default reader `spacy.FewShotReader.v1` supports `.yml`, `.yaml`, `.json` and `.jsonl`. ```yaml - text: I'm buying ice cream. lemmas: - 'I': 'I' - "'m": 'be' - 'buying': 'buy' - 'ice': 'ice' - 'cream': 'cream' - '.': '.' - text: I've watered the plants. lemmas: - 'I': 'I' - "'ve": 'have' - 'watered': 'water' - 'the': 'the' - 'plants': 'plant' - '.': '.' ``` ```ini [components.llm.task] @llm_tasks = "spacy.Lemma.v1" [components.llm.task.examples] @misc = "spacy.FewShotReader.v1" path = "lemma_examples.yml" ``` ### Sentiment {id="sentiment"} Performs sentiment analysis on provided texts. Scores between 0 and 1 are stored in `Doc._.sentiment` - the higher, the more positive. Note in cases of parsing issues (e. g. in case of unexpected LLM responses) the value might be `None`. #### spacy.Sentiment.v1 {id="sentiment-v1"} This task supports both zero-shot and few-shot prompting. > #### Example config > > ```ini > [components.llm.task] > @llm_tasks = "spacy.Sentiment.v1" > examples = null > ``` | Argument | Description | | --------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `template` | Custom prompt template to send to LLM model. Defaults to [sentiment.v1.jinja](./spacy_llm/tasks/templates/sentiment.v1.jinja). ~~str~~ | | `examples` | Optional function that generates examples for few-shot learning. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Callable[[], Iterable[Any]]]~~ | | `parse_responses` (NEW) | Callable for parsing LLM responses for this task. Defaults to the internal parsing method for this task. ~~Optional[TaskResponseParser[SentimentTask]]~~ | | `prompt_example_type` (NEW) | Type to use for fewshot examples. Defaults to `SentimentExample`. ~~Optional[Type[FewshotExample]]~~ | | `scorer` (NEW) | Scorer function that evaluates the task performance on provided examples. Defaults to the metric used by spaCy. ~~Optional[Scorer]~~ | | `field` | Name of extension attribute to store summary in (i. e. the summary will be available in `doc._.{field}`). Defaults to `sentiment`. ~~str~~ | To perform [few-shot learning](/usage/large-language-models#few-shot-prompts), you can write down a few examples in a separate file, and provide these to be injected into the prompt to the LLM. The default reader `spacy.FewShotReader.v1` supports `.yml`, `.yaml`, `.json` and `.jsonl`. ```yaml - text: 'This is horrifying.' score: 0 - text: 'This is underwhelming.' score: 0.25 - text: 'This is ok.' score: 0.5 - text: "I'm looking forward to this!" score: 1.0 ``` ```ini [components.llm.task] @llm_tasks = "spacy.Sentiment.v1" [components.llm.task.examples] @misc = "spacy.FewShotReader.v1" path = "sentiment_examples.yml" ``` ### NoOp {id="noop"} This task is only useful for testing - it tells the LLM to do nothing, and does not set any fields on the `docs`. > #### Example config > > ```ini > [components.llm.task] > @llm_tasks = "spacy.NoOp.v1" > ``` #### spacy.NoOp.v1 {id="noop-v1"} This task needs no further configuration. ## Models {id="models"} A _model_ defines which LLM model to query, and how to query it. It can be a simple function taking a collection of prompts (consistent with the output type of `task.generate_prompts()`) and returning a collection of responses (consistent with the expected input of `parse_responses`). Generally speaking, it's a function of type `Callable[[Iterable[Any]], Iterable[Any]]`, but specific implementations can have other signatures, like `Callable[[Iterable[str]], Iterable[str]]`. ### Models via REST API {id="models-rest"} These models all take the same parameters, but note that the `config` should contain provider-specific keys and values, as it will be passed onwards to the provider's API. | Argument | Description | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `name` | Model name, i. e. any supported variant for this particular model.

Default depends on the specific model (cf. below). ~~Dict[Any, Any]~~ | | `strict` | If `True`, raises an error if the LLM API returns a malformed response. Otherwise, return the error responses as is. Defaults to `True`. ~~bool~~ | | `max_tries` | Max. number of tries for API request.

GPT-3.5). This deployment can have an arbitrary name. The `name` argument, which everywhere else denotes the model name (e. g. `claude-1.0`, `gpt-3.5`), here refers to the _deployment name_. - Deployed Azure OpenAI models are reachable via a resource-specific base URL, usually of the form `https://{resource}.openai.azure.com`. Hence the URL has to be specified via the `base_url` argument. - Azure further expects the _API version_ to be specified. The default value for this, via the `api_version` argument, is currently `2023-05-15` but may be updated in the future. - Finally, since we can't infer information about the model from the deployment name, `spacy-llm` requires the `model_type` to be set to either `"completions"` or `"chat"`, depending on whether the deployed model is a completion or chat model. #### API Keys {id="api-keys"} Note that when using hosted services, you have to ensure that the proper API keys are set as environment variables as described by the corresponding provider's documentation. E. g. when using OpenAI, you have to get an API key from openai.com, and ensure that the keys are set as environmental variables: ```shell export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..." export OPENAI_API_ORG="org-..." ``` For Cohere: ```shell export CO_API_KEY="..." ``` For Anthropic: ```shell export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="..." ``` For PaLM: ```shell export PALM_API_KEY="..." ``` ### Models via HuggingFace {id="models-hf"} These models all take the same parameters: | Argument | Description | | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `name` | Model name, i. e. any supported variant for this particular model. ~~str~~ | | `config_init` | Further configuration passed on to the construction of the model with `transformers.pipeline()`.

That means that users have to fulfill certain requirements to be allowed access to these models. In the case of Llama 2 you'll need to request agree to Meta's Terms of Service while logged in with your HF account. After Meta grants you permission to use Llama 2, you'll be able to download and use the model. This requires that you are logged in with your HF account on your local machine - check out the HF quick start documentation. In a nutshell, you'll need to create an access token on HF and log in to HF using your access token, e. g. with `huggingface-cli login`. Note that Hugging Face will download the model the first time you use it - you can [define the cached directory](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/main/en/guides/manage-cache) by setting the environmental variable `HF_HOME`. #### Installation with HuggingFace {id="install-hf"} To use models from HuggingFace, ideally you have a GPU enabled and have installed `transformers`, `torch` and CUDA in your virtual environment. This allows you to have the setting `device=cuda:0` in your config, which ensures that the model is loaded entirely on the GPU (and fails otherwise). You can do so with ```shell python -m pip install "spacy-llm[transformers]" "transformers[sentencepiece]" ``` If you don't have access to a GPU, you can install `accelerate` and set`device_map=auto` instead, but be aware that this may result in some layers getting distributed to the CPU or even the hard drive, which may ultimately result in extremely slow queries. ```shell python -m pip install "accelerate>=0.16.0,<1.0" ``` ### LangChain models {id="langchain-models"} To use [LangChain](https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain) for the API retrieval part, make sure you have installed it first: ```shell python -m pip install "langchain==0.0.191" # Or install with spacy-llm directly python -m pip install "spacy-llm[extras]" ``` Note that LangChain currently only supports Python 3.9 and beyond. LangChain models in `spacy-llm` work slightly differently. `langchain`'s models are parsed automatically, each LLM class in `langchain` has one entry in `spacy-llm`'s registry. As `langchain`'s design has one class per API and not per model, this results in registry entries like `langchain.OpenAI.v1` - i. e. there is one registry entry per API and not per model (family), as for the REST- and HuggingFace-based entries. The name of the model to be used has to be passed in via the `name` attribute. > #### Example config > > ```ini > [components.llm.model] > @llm_models = "langchain.OpenAI.v1" > name = "gpt-3.5-turbo" > query = {"@llm_queries": "spacy.CallLangChain.v1"} > config = {"temperature": 0.0} > ``` | Argument | Description | | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `name` | The name of a mdodel supported by LangChain for this API. ~~str~~ | | `config` | Configuration passed on to the LangChain model. Defaults to `{}`. ~~Dict[Any, Any]~~ | | `query` | Function that executes the prompts. If `None`, defaults to `spacy.CallLangChain.v1`. ~~Optional[Callable[["langchain.llms.BaseLLM", Iterable[Any]], Iterable[Any]]]~~ | The default `query` (`spacy.CallLangChain.v1`) executes the prompts by running `model(text)` for each given textual prompt. ## Cache {id="cache"} Interacting with LLMs, either through an external API or a local instance, is costly. Since developing an NLP pipeline generally means a lot of exploration and prototyping, `spacy-llm` implements a built-in cache to avoid reprocessing the same documents at each run that keeps batches of documents stored on disk. > #### Example config > > ```ini > [components.llm.cache] > @llm_misc = "spacy.BatchCache.v1" > path = "path/to/cache" > batch_size = 64 > max_batches_in_mem = 4 > ``` | Argument | Description | | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `path` | Cache directory. If `None`, no caching is performed, and this component will act as a NoOp. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[Union[str, Path]]~~ | | `batch_size` | Number of docs in one batch (file). Once a batch is full, it will be peristed to disk. Defaults to 64. ~~int~~ | | `max_batches_in_mem` | Max. number of batches to hold in memory. Allows you to limit the effect on your memory if you're handling a lot of docs. Defaults to 4. ~~int~~ | When retrieving a document, the `BatchCache` will first figure out what batch the document belongs to. If the batch isn't in memory it will try to load the batch from disk and then move it into memory. Note that since the cache is generated by a registered function, you can also provide your own registered function returning your own cache implementation. If you wish to do so, ensure that your cache object adheres to the `Protocol` defined in `spacy_llm.ty.Cache`. ## Various functions {id="various-functions"} ### spacy.FewShotReader.v1 {id="fewshotreader-v1"} This function is registered in spaCy's `misc` registry, and reads in examples from a `.yml`, `.yaml`, `.json` or `.jsonl` file. It uses [`srsly`](https://github.com/explosion/srsly) to read in these files and parses them depending on the file extension. > #### Example config > > ```ini > [components.llm.task.examples] > @misc = "spacy.FewShotReader.v1" > path = "ner_examples.yml" > ``` | Argument | Description | | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `path` | Path to an examples file with suffix `.yml`, `.yaml`, `.json` or `.jsonl`. ~~Union[str, Path]~~ | ### spacy.FileReader.v1 {id="filereader-v1"} This function is registered in spaCy's `misc` registry, and reads a file provided to the `path` to return a `str` representation of its contents. This function is typically used to read [Jinja](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.1.x/) files containing the prompt template. > #### Example config > > ```ini > [components.llm.task.template] > @misc = "spacy.FileReader.v1" > path = "ner_template.jinja2" > ``` | Argument | Description | | -------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | `path` | Path to the file to be read. ~~Union[str, Path]~~ | ### Normalizer functions {id="normalizer-functions"} These functions provide simple normalizations for string comparisons, e.g. between a list of specified labels and a label given in the raw text of the LLM response. They are registered in spaCy's `misc` registry and have the signature `Callable[[str], str]`. - `spacy.StripNormalizer.v1`: only apply `text.strip()` - `spacy.LowercaseNormalizer.v1`: applies `text.strip().lower()` to compare strings in a case-insensitive way.
