Class RetrievalQAChain

Class representing a chain for performing question-answering tasks with a retrieval component.

Example

// Initialize the OpenAI model and the remote retriever with the specified configuration
const model = new ChatOpenAI({});
const retriever = new RemoteLangChainRetriever({
  url: "http://example.com/api",
  auth: { bearer: "foo" },
  inputKey: "message",
  responseKey: "response",
});

// Create a RetrievalQAChain using the model and retriever
const chain = RetrievalQAChain.fromLLM(model, retriever);

// Execute the chain with a query and log the result
const res = await chain.call({
  query: "What did the president say about Justice Breyer?",
});
console.log({ res });

    Call the chain on all inputs in the list

call

  • call(values, config?, tags?): Promise<ChainValues>

  • Parameters

    • values: any

  • Invoke the chain with the provided input and returns the output.

    Parameters

    • input: ChainValues

      Input values for the chain run.

    • Optional options: any

    Returns Promise<ChainValues>

    Promise that resolves with the output of the chain run.

prepOutputs

  • prepOutputs(inputs, outputs, returnOnlyOutputs?): Promise<Record<string, unknown>>

  • Parameters

    • inputs: Record<string, unknown>
    • outputs: Record<string, unknown>

Static fromLLM

  • fromLLM(llm, retriever, options?): RetrievalQAChain

  • Creates a new instance of RetrievalQAChain using a BaseLanguageModel and a BaseRetriever.

    Parameters

    • llm: BaseLanguageModelInterface

      The BaseLanguageModel used to generate a new question.

    • retriever: BaseRetrieverInterface

      The BaseRetriever used to retrieve relevant documents.

    • Optional options: Partial<Omit<RetrievalQAChainInput, "retriever" | "index" | "combineDocumentsChain">> & StuffQAChainParams

      Optional parameters for the RetrievalQAChain.

    Returns RetrievalQAChain

    A new instance of RetrievalQAChain.
