本教程将介绍如何使用 LangChain 库中的 PromptTemplate
和 FewShotPromptTemplate
来构建和运行提示(prompt),并通过示例数据展示其应用。
安装依赖
首先,确保你已经安装了 langchain
和相关依赖:
pip install langchain langchain_core langchain_chroma langchain_community
1. 创建 PromptTemplate
PromptTemplate
用于定义一个模板,该模板可以动态地插入变量。
代码示例
from langchain_core.prompts import PromptTemplate
example_prompt = PromptTemplate.from_template("Question: {question}\n{answer}")
解释
-
PromptTemplate.from_template
方法用于从给定的模板字符串创建一个PromptTemplate
对象。 - 模板字符串中的
{question}
和{answer}
是占位符,将在后续被实际数据替换。
2. 定义示例数据
示例数据是一个列表,每个元素是一个包含 question
和 answer
的字典。
代码示例
examples = [
{
"question": "Who lived longer, Muhammad Ali or Alan Turing?",
"answer": """
Are follow up questions needed here: Yes.
Follow up: How old was Muhammad Ali when he died?
Intermediate answer: Muhammad Ali was 74 years old when he died.
Follow up: How old was Alan Turing when he died?
Intermediate answer: Alan Turing was 41 years old when he died.
So the final answer is: Muhammad Ali
""",
},
{
"question": "When was the founder of craigslist born?",
"answer": """
Are follow up questions needed here: Yes.
Follow up: Who was the founder of craigslist?
Intermediate answer: Craigslist was founded by Craig Newmark.
Follow up: When was Craig Newmark born?
Intermediate answer: Craig Newmark was born on December 6, 1952.
So the final answer is: December 6, 1952
""",
},
{
"question": "Who was the maternal grandfather of George Washington?",
"answer": """
Are follow up questions needed here: Yes.
Follow up: Who was the mother of George Washington?
Intermediate answer: The mother of George Washington was Mary Ball Washington.
Follow up: Who was the father of Mary Ball Washington?
Intermediate answer: The father of Mary Ball Washington was Joseph Ball.
So the final answer is: Joseph Ball
""",
},
{
"question": "Are both the directors of Jaws and Casino Royale from the same country?",
"answer": """
Are follow up questions needed here: Yes.
Follow up: Who is the director of Jaws?
Intermediate Answer: The director of Jaws is Steven Spielberg.
Follow up: Where is Steven Spielberg from?
Intermediate Answer: The United States.
Follow up: Who is the director of Casino Royale?
Intermediate Answer: The director of Casino Royale is Martin Campbell.
Follow up: Where is Martin Campbell from?
Intermediate Answer: New Zealand.
So the final answer is: No
""",
},
]
解释
- 每个字典包含一个问题和对应的答案。
- 答案部分详细描述了求解问题的中间步骤和最终答案。
3. 使用 PromptTemplate 调用示例
代码示例
print(example_prompt.invoke(examples[0]).to_string())
输出
Question: Who lived longer, Muhammad Ali or Alan Turing?
Are follow up questions needed here: Yes.
Follow up: How old was Muhammad Ali when he died?
Intermediate answer: Muhammad Ali was 74 years old when he died.
Follow up: How old was Alan Turing when he died?
Intermediate answer: Alan Turing was 41 years old when he died.
So the final answer is: Muhammad Ali
解释
-
example_prompt.invoke(examples[0])
方法将示例数据中的第一个元素插入到模板中。 -
to_string()
方法将结果转换为字符串形式。
4. 创建 FewShotPromptTemplate
FewShotPromptTemplate
用于结合多个示例和一个后缀模板来生成最终的提示。
代码示例
from langchain_core.prompts import FewShotPromptTemplate
prompt = FewShotPromptTemplate(
examples=examples,
example_prompt=example_prompt,
suffix="Question: {input}",
input_variables=["input"],
)
print(
prompt.invoke({"input": "Who was the father of Mary Ball Washington?"}).to_string()
)
输出
Question: Who lived longer, Muhammad Ali or Alan Turing?
Are follow up questions needed here: Yes.
Follow up: How old was Muhammad Ali when he died?
Intermediate answer: Muhammad Ali was 74 years old when he died.
Follow up: How old was Alan Turing when he died?
Intermediate answer: Alan Turing was 41 years old when he died.
So the final answer is: Muhammad Ali
Question: When was the founder of craigslist born?
Are follow up questions needed here: Yes.
Follow up: Who was the founder of craigslist?
Intermediate answer: Craigslist was founded by Craig Newmark.
Follow up: When was Craig Newmark born?
Intermediate answer: Craig Newmark was born on December 6, 1952.
So the final answer is: December 6, 1952
Question: Who was the maternal grandfather of George Washington?
Are follow up questions needed here: Yes.
Follow up: Who was the mother of George Washington?
Intermediate answer: The mother of George Washington was Mary Ball Washington.
Follow up: Who was the father of Mary Ball Washington?
Intermediate answer: The father of Mary Ball Washington was Joseph Ball.
So the final answer is: Joseph Ball
Question: Are both the directors of Jaws and Casino Royale from the same country?
Are follow up questions needed here: Yes.
Follow up: Who is the director of Jaws?
Intermediate Answer: The director of Jaws is Steven Spielberg.
Follow up: Where is Steven Spielberg from?
Intermediate Answer: The United States.
Follow up: Who is the director of Casino Royale?
Intermediate Answer: The director of Casino Royale is Martin Campbell.
Follow up: Where is Martin Campbell from?
Intermediate Answer: New Zealand.
So the final answer is: No
Question: Who was the father of Mary Ball Washington?
解释
-
FewShotPromptTemplate
结合了多个示例和一个后缀模板。 -
examples
参数是之前定义的示例数据。 -
example_prompt
是之前创建的PromptTemplate
。 -
suffix
是一个后缀模板,用于添加到所有示例之后。 -
input_variables
定义了后缀模板中使用的变量。
5. 使用语义相似度选择示例
SemanticSimilarityExampleSelector
用于根据输入问题的语义相似度选择最相关的示例。
代码示例
from langchain_chroma import Chroma
from langchain_core.example_selectors import SemanticSimilarityExampleSelector
from langchain_community.embeddings import ZhipuAIEmbeddings
embed = ZhipuAIEmbeddings(
model="embedding-3",
api_key="your api key",
)
example_selector = SemanticSimilarityExampleSelector.from_examples(
examples,
embed,
Chroma,
k=1,
)
question = "Who was the father of Mary Ball Washington?"
selected_examples = example_selector.select_examples({"question": question})
print(f"Examples most similar to the input: {question}")
for example in selected_examples:
print("\n")
for k, v in example.items():
print(f"{k}: {v}")
输出
Examples most similar to the input: Who was the father of Mary Ball Washington?
answer:
Are follow up questions needed here: Yes.
Follow up: Who was the mother of George Washington?
Intermediate answer: The mother of George Washington was Mary Ball Washington.
Follow up: Who was the father of Mary Ball Washington?
Intermediate answer: The father of Mary Ball Washington was Joseph Ball.
So the final answer is: Joseph Ball
question: Who was the maternal grandfather of George Washington?
解释
-
ZhipuAIEmbeddings
用于生成问题的嵌入向量。 -
SemanticSimilarityExampleSelector.from_examples
创建一个示例选择器,用于根据语义相似度选择示例。 -
k=1
表示选择最相似的一个示例。 -
select_examples
方法根据输入问题选择最相似的示例。
