The Guide of a Completion Development Engineer to Formal Data

Has Makes Rag with PDFS, Docs and Reports? Many important texts is not just a simple text. Think about research sheets, financial reports, or products. They usually contain the mix of categories, tables, and other formal objects. This creates an important challenge for normal refunds (RAG). Effective RAG to the formal data requires more than a basic text. This guide provides a manual solution using Intelligent Data Parsing and improved RAG procedures known as multi-record deciever, everything in Langchain Rag framework.
RAG Need to Formal Data
Traditional traditional pipes usually stumble about these mixed content texts. First, the simple text separator can determine the table by half, destroy important data within. Second, embedded a mature text of a large table you can create noisy, unsafational vectors. Language model may not see the right content to answer the user's question.
We will build a sharp edition that clearly distinguishes the text from the tables and uses the last separate and returning techniques. This method ensures our language model receiving specific, comprehensive information that requires providing accurate answers.
Solution: Wise Way to Recover
Our solution deals with important challenges in using two important things. This method is about preparing and returning data in a way that keeps its original description and structure.
- Intelligent Data Parsing: We use a random library to make the first weight lift. Instead of dividing text, not scheduled
partition_pdf
The work is analyzing the formation of the document. It can mean the difference between a section and table, the release of each item is clean and maintaining its integrity. - Recovery of many vectors: This is the core of our advanced rag plan. Multi-Vector Retriver allows us to keep many representations of our data. To get back, we will use brief summaries of our scriptures Chunks and tables. These small summaries are the best in reading and the same. To answer generation, we will transfer a full, green table or text into the language model. This gives the model the perfect context you need.
Complete work travels look like this:
To create a rag pipe
Let's move in a way to create this step by step. We will use the Line research paper as our example document.
Step 1: Setting Nature
First, we need to install the required Spython packages. We will use Langchain with the main framework, not listed in order, and Christ with our Vector Store.
! pip install langchain langchain-chroma "unstructured[all-docs]" pydantic lxml langchainhub langchain_openai -q
The random comments of the PDF depends on a few external comprehensive tools and optical characters (OCR). If you are in Mac, you can add them easily using homewhrew.
!apt-get install -y tesseract-ocr
!apt-get install -y poppler-utils
Step 2: Uploading data and random contrability
Our first job is to process PDF. We use partition_pdf from random, purpose built this type of random data parsing. We will fix it to identify tables and urge the documentation of the document to its topics and subtitles below.
from typing import Any
from pydantic import BaseModel
from unstructured.partition.pdf import partition_pdf
# Get elements
raw_pdf_elements = partition_pdf(
filename="/content/LLaMA2.pdf",
# Unstructured first finds embedded image blocks
extract_images_in_pdf=False,
# Use layout model (YOLOX) to get bounding boxes (for tables) and find titles
# Titles are any sub-section of the document
infer_table_structure=True,
# Post processing to aggregate text once we have the title
chunking_strategy="by_title",
# Chunking params to aggregate text blocks
# Attempt to create a new chunk 3800 chars
# Attempt to keep chunks > 2000 chars
max_characters=4000,
new_after_n_chars=3800,
combine_text_under_n_chars=2000,
image_output_dir_path=path,
)
After using a partitioner, we can see what kinds of things received. Release shows two advanced types: CompositeElement
With our chunks documents and Table
the tables.
# Create a dictionary to store counts of each type
category_counts = {}
for element in raw_pdf_elements:
category = str(type(element))
if category in category_counts:
category_countsBeginner += 1
else:
category_countsBeginner = 1
# Unique_categories will have unique elements
unique_categories = set(category_counts.keys())
category_counts
Which is output:
Since you can see, not scheduled to do a good job to express 2 different tables and 85 chunks. Now, let's separate these different structures of easy to process.
class Element(BaseModel):
type: str
text: Any
# Categorize by type
categorized_elements = []
for element in raw_pdf_elements:
if "unstructured.documents.elements.Table" in str(type(element)):
categorized_elements.append(Element(type="table", text=str(element)))
elif "unstructured.documents.elements.CompositeElement" in str(type(element)):
categorized_elements.append(Element(type="text", text=str(element)))
# Tables
table_elements = [e for e in categorized_elements if e.type == "table"]
print(len(table_elements))
# Text
text_elements = [e for e in categorized_elements if e.type == "text"]
print(len(text_elements))
Which is output:

Step 3: Building a Better Return Signs
Large tables and long text blocks do not make the most effective embryos of SEMATIC search. A short summary, however, is perfect. This is the basic idea of using multi-vector retrieved. We will build a simple Langchain Chain to produce these summaries.
from langchain_core.output_parsers import StrOutputParser
from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from getpass import getpass
OPENAI_KEY = getpass('Enter Open AI API Key: ')
LANGCHAIN_API_KEY = getpass('Enter Langchain API Key: ')
LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2="true"
# Prompt
prompt_text = """You are an assistant tasked with summarizing tables and text. Give a concise summary of the table or text. Table or text chunk: {element} """
prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_template(prompt_text)
# Summary chain
model = ChatOpenAI(temperature=0, model="gpt-4.1-mini")
summarize_chain = {"element": lambda x: x} | prompt | model | StrOutputParser()
Now, we use this same opposite to our released tables and chunks texts. The batch method allows us to process these and, which scars things.
# Apply to tables
tables = [i.text for i in table_elements]
table_summaries = summarize_chain.batch(tables, {"max_concurrency": 5})
# Apply to texts
texts = [i.text for i in text_elements]
text_summaries = summarize_chain.batch(texts, {"max_concurrency": 5})
Step 4: Creating a Multi-Vector return
With our summers are ready, it's time to rebuild. Uses the last two parts:
- Vectorstore (chromadb) keeps embedded stores condensation.
- Doctor shop (a simple shop of memory) we hold raw Table and text content.
Retriver uses unique IDs to create communication between a summary of the Vector store and its corresponding document.
import uuid
from langchain.retrievers.multi_vector import MultiVectorRetriever
from langchain.storage import InMemoryStore
from langchain_chroma import Chroma
from langchain_core.documents import Document
from langchain_openai import OpenAIEmbeddings
# The vectorstore to use to index the child chunks
vectorstore = Chroma(collection_name="summaries", embedding_function=OpenAIEmbeddings())
# The storage layer for the parent documents
store = InMemoryStore()
id_key = "doc_id"
# The retriever (empty to start)
retriever = MultiVectorRetriever(
vectorstore=vectorstore,
docstore=store,
id_key=id_key,
)
# Add texts
doc_ids = [str(uuid.uuid4()) for _ in texts]
summary_texts = [
Document(page_content=s, metadata={id_key: doc_ids[i]})
for i, s in enumerate(text_summaries)
]
retriever.vectorstore.add_documents(summary_texts)
retriever.docstore.mset(list(zip(doc_ids, texts)))
# Add tables
table_ids = [str(uuid.uuid4()) for _ in tables]
summary_tables = [
Document(page_content=s, metadata={id_key: table_ids[i]})
for i, s in enumerate(table_summaries)
]
retriever.vectorstore.add_documents(summary_tables)
retriever.docstore.mset(list(zip(table_ids, tables)))
Step 5: Use Rag Chain
Finally, we build a complete langchain rag pipe. The chain will take a question, use our restoration to download the appropriate summaries, pull the corresponding documents, and pass everything into the language model to produce the answer.
from langchain_core.runnables import RunnablePassthrough
# Prompt template
template = """Answer the question based only on the following context, which can include text and tables:
{context}
Question: {question}
"""
prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_template(template)
# LLM
model = ChatOpenAI(temperature=0, model="gpt-4")
# RAG pipeline
chain = (
{"context": retriever, "question": RunnablePassthrough()}
| prompt
| model
| StrOutputParser()
)
Let's test it with a specific question that can only be answered by looking at a table in the paper.
chain.invoke("What is the number of training tokens for LLaMA2?")
Which is output:

The system is fully operational. By examining the process, we see that the discovery found the summary of the table 1, which discusses the limits of the model and training data. Then, he returned the full, green table from the dork and gave you to the LLM. This provides model direct data needed to answer a query well, proving the power of this rag to the wheelchair.
You can enter the perfect code in the Colab Patebook or GitTub storage.

Managing documents with mixed text and tables are a common problem, real world. A simple rag pipe is not enough in many cases. By combining intelligent dorsing of the multi-vector retrieved, we form a strong and accurate program. This method ensures that the complex formation of your documents is power, not weakness. It provides a language model in a complete formal form, which leads to better, reliable answers.

Frequently Asked Questions
A. Yes, a basic library is supporting many types of file types. You can simply switch the work of the plation_PDF and the right one, as Divide_Docx.
A. No, you can generate the hythical questions from each chunk or simply embedded a mature text if it is small enough. Summary is sometimes more effective in complex tables.
A. Large tables can cause “noisy” when the Core said means information. This makes the Semantic search successful. Summary summarized tap the table context for better return.
