TfIdf

Retrieving documents using TfIdf. We must always encode documents before queries when using TfIdf retriever to fit it, otherwise the system will raise an error.

from neural_cherche import retrieve

documents = [
    {"id": "doc1", "title": "Paris", "text": "Paris is the capital of France."},
    {"id": "doc2", "title": "Montreal", "text": "Montreal is the largest city in Quebec."},
    {"id": "doc3", "title": "Bordeaux", "text": "Bordeaux in Southwestern France."},
]

retriever = retrieve.TfIdf(
    key="id",
    on=["title", "text"],
)

documents_embeddings = retriever.encode_documents(
    documents=documents,
)

retriever.add(
    documents_embeddings=documents_embeddings,
)

queries = [
    "What is the capital of France?",
    "What is the largest city in Quebec?",
    "Where is Bordeaux?",
]

queries_embeddings = retriever.encode_queries(
    queries=queries,
)

scores = retriever(
    queries_embeddings=queries_embeddings,
    k=100,
)
