- It's more of a hassle to not let word filter go stale on entry
updates
- Generating index on 120K lines of notes takes 1s. Loading from file
takes 0.2s. For less content load time difference will be even smaller
- Let go of startup time improvement for simplicity for now
- Comparing compiled entries is the appropriately narrow target to
identify entries that need to encode their embedding vectors. Given we
pass the compiled form of the entry to the model for encoding
- Hashing the whole entry along with it's raw form was resulting in a
bunch of entries being marked for updated as LINE: <entry_line_no>
is a string added to each entries raw format.
- This results in an update to a single entry resulting in all entries
below it in the file being marked for update (as all their line
numbers have changed)
- Log performance metrics for steps to convert org entries to jsonl
- Having Tags as sets was returning them in a different order
everytime
- This resulted in spuriously identifying existing entries as new
because their tags ordering changed
- Converting tags to list fixes the issue and identifies updated new
entries for incremental update correctly
- What
- Hash the entries and compare to find new/updated entries
- Reuse embeddings encoded for existing entries
- Only encode embeddings for updated or new entries
- Merge the existing and new entries and embeddings to get the updated
entries, embeddings
- Why
- Given most note text entries are expected to be unchanged
across time. Reusing their earlier encoded embeddings should
significantly speed up embeddings updates
- Previously we were regenerating embeddings for all entries,
even if they had existed in previous runs
- Parsed `level` argument passed to OrgNode during init is expected to
be a string, not an integer
- This was resulting in app failure only when parsing org files with
no headings, like in issue #83, as level is set to string of `*`s
the moment a heading is found in the current file
- Previously we were failing if no valid entries while computing
embeddings. This was obscuring the actual issue of no valid entries
found in the specified content files
- Throwing an exception early with clear message when no entries found
should make clarify the issue to be fixed
- See issue #83 for details
- Default config has `input_files' set to None
- This was being passed to `FileBrowser' on Initialization
- But `FileBrowser' expects `content_files' of list type, not None
- This resulted in an unexpected NoneType failure
- The logging to file code expects the config directory to already be setup
- But parent directory of config file was being set up later in code
- This resulted in app start failing with ~/.khoj dir does not exist error
- Pass file associated with entries in markdown, beancount to json converters
- Add File, Word, Date Filters to Ledger, Markdown Types
- Word, Date Filters were accidently removed from the above types yesterday
- File Filter is the only filter that newly got added
- Filter entries, embeddings by ids satisfying all filters in query
func, after each filter has returned entry ids satisfying their
individual acceptance criteria
- Previously each filter would return a filtered list of entries.
Each filter would be applied on entries filtered by previous filters.
This made the filtering order dependent
- Benefits
- Filters can be applied independent of their order of execution
- Precomputed indexes for each filter is not in danger of running
into index out of bound errors, as filters run on original entries
instead of on entries filtered by filters that have run before it
- Extract entries satisfying filter only once instead of doing
this for each filter
- Costs
- Each filter has to process all entries even if previous filters
may have already marked them as non-satisfactory
- This will help filter query to org content type using file filter
- Do not explicitly specify items being extracted from json of each
entry in text_search as all text search content types do not have
file being set in jsonl converters
- Specify just file name to get all notes associated with file at path
- E.g `query` with `file:"file1.org"` will return `entry1`
if `entry1` is in `file1.org` at `~/notes/file.org`
- Test
- Test converting simple file name filter to regex for path match
- Test file filter with space in file name
- Code Changes
- Use list comprehension and `torch.index_select' methods
- to speed selection of entries, embedding tensors satisfying filter
- avoid deep copy of entries, embeddings
- avoid updating existing lists (of entries, embeddings)
- Use word to entry map and set operations to mark entries satisfying
inclusion, exclusion filters
- Results
- Speed up explicit filtering by two orders of magnitude
- Improve consistency of speed up across inclusion and exclusion filtering
- Only the filter knows when entries, embeddings are to be manipulated.
So move the responsibility to deep copy before manipulating entries,
embeddings to the filters
- Create deep copy in filters. Avoids creating deep copy of entries,
embeddings when filter results are being loaded from cache etc
- Do not run the more expensive explicit filter until the word to be
filtered is completed by user. This requires an end sequence marker
to identify end of explicit word filter to trigger filtering
- Space isn't a good enough delimiter as the explicit filter could be
at the end of the query in which case no space
- Stop passing verbose flag around app methods
- Minor remap of verbosity levels to match python logging framework levels
- verbose = 0 maps to logging.WARN
- verbose = 1 maps to logging.INFO
- verbose >=2 maps to logging.DEBUG
- Minor clean-up of app: unused modules, conversation file opening
- This also pushes the updated URL state to history
- Allows jumping back to the web interface after clicking on an image
and having the type set to image search
- Previously type would get reset to the default search type on
jumping back
- CLIP doesn't need full size images for generating embeddings with
decent search results. The sentence transformers docs use images
scaled to 640px width
- Benefits
- Normalize image sizes
- Increase image embeddings generation speed
- Decrease memory usage while generating embeddings from images
