In the Python ecosystem, several libraries for NLP emerged that incorporate or work with LLMs. Haystack is a library with many features and functions. Its core use case is to build NLP applications, which includes effective information storage and retrieval as well as using LLM for classical and advanced NLP tasks.
In this article, Haystack will be introduced from the perspective of running NLP tasks with LLMs. You will learn how to install the haystack library, how to use LLMs locally or involve hosted interference on Hugging Face, and then see 4 LLMs applied to token classification, text classification, translation and summarizing.
The technical context of this article is python v3.10 and haystack v1.17.2. It should work with newer versions as well.
Haystack Library
Installation
Haystack consists of several packages. For the purpose of this article, we only need the following:
pip install farm-haystack[colab,inference]
Pipelines and Nodes
Similar to other NLP libraries, haystacks core abstraction is a pipeline consisting of several nodes. Just to give an idea, for an extractive question answering system, the pipeline would consists of these nodes: document store, text indexer, text retriever, and the reader component. All nodes would be concatenated, and the whole pipeline can be executed by running a snippet like pipeline.run(query="What are the risks of Ai?). Pipelines can consists of only one node, and that is what’s required when working with an LLM as-is, without providing any additional data or information to the model.
A PromptNode interacts with a locally installed LLM, LLMs accessible via Cloud Providers (e.g. hosted on Azure), or with APIs (OpenAi). Here is an example of using a hosted model from HuggingFace:
import os
from haystack.nodes import PromptNode
hgf_api_key = os.environ["HUGGING_FACE_API_KEY"]
prompt_node = PromptNode(
model_name_or_path="tiiuae/falcon-7b-instruct",
model_kwargs={"stream":True},
api_key=hgf_api_key
)
# Go ahead and ask a question:
prompt_node("What is Artificial Intelligence?")
# ++++ Results ++++
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the science of creating intelligent machines that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. These machines can be programmed to learn from data and experience and can be used in a variety of applications such as robotics, healthcare, and finance.
For local usage, models need to be loaded with the transformers library. This provides several benefits to customizing the model usage as well: First of all, the transformer model hub offers a wide variety of trained and fine-tuned models. Second, it allows models to be trained with several frameworks, including PyTorch and Tensorflow. Third, it provides easy accessible model configuration and fine-tuning in itself, e.g. it exposes the tokenizer for customization.
Here is a snippet to load a model that runs on your laptop.
from haystack.nodes import PromptNode
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
model_name = 'gpt2-medium'
print("Load Model")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_name,
trust_remote_code=True
)
print("Load Tokenizer")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
print("Load Prompt")
prompt_node = PromptNode(model_name, model_kwargs={"model":model, "tokenizer": tokenizer})
print("Done")
The output of a not fine-tuned base model is essentially just text completion:
prompt_node("What is Artificial Intelligence?")
# ++++ Results ++++
The current definition of Artificial Intelligence has to do with "thinking in computers." At its core, Artificial Intelligence is the process of developing software to perform a specific feat. This involves the development of "intentions" for doing the particular task that the computer is programmed to do.
You can also run more recent LLMs, like GPT-J or LLaMA but you need to have at least 32GB RAM and a powerful GPU. Even on a free-tier Google Collab instance, loading this model caused error message Your session crashed after using all available RAM.
Prompt Management
Effective prompts are a prerequisite to get good answers from fine-tuned instructions LLMs and especially for not fine-tuned ones. This importance is reflected in the haystack library as well.
The prompt hub, a new service that was launched in June 2023, offers public accessible and reusable prompts that are expected to evolve for creating good results.
Let’s load a prompt for topic-classification and see how it is realized:
# option A
from haystack.nodes import PromptNode, PromptTemplate
topic_classifier_template = PromptTemplate("deepset/topic-classification")
documents = [
Document('The spacecraft succeeded in landing on the moon.'),
Document('Mission control had a stressful time during the takeoff, approaching the moon, and the landing.'),
Document('Speculators surrounding the spacecraft takeoff shed tears of laughter.'),
Document('Some committee members doubted the space missions goals.')
]
categories = [
'neutral', 'approval', 'disapproval', 'realization', 'joy', 'embarrassment'
]
prompt_node.prompt(
prompt_template=topic_classifier_template,
documents=documents,
options=categories,
max_length=4096
)
Using the prompthub template will print the following text, filled with the provided variables:
# option B
print(topic_classifier_template.prompt_text)
# Categories: {options};
# What category best describes: {documents};
# Answer:
The second option is to define prompt templates manually. Here is an example how the prompt for text-classification (that I used in a previous article) can be converted to a Haystack prompt template.
from haystack.nodes import PromptTemplate
prompt = PromptTemplate(
prompt='''Instruction: Categorize each of the following texts with one category
Allowed Categories: neutral, approval, disapproval, realization, joy, embarrassment
Texts:"""
{documents}
"""
Answer:
'''
)
prompt_node.prompt(
prompt_template=prompt,
documents=documents,
max_length=4096
)
Finally, you can also use native Python format strings:
# option C
text_classification_prompt = '''
Instruction: Categorize each of the following texts with one category
Allowed Categories: neutral, approval, disapproval, realization, joy, embarrassment
Texts:"""
{texts}
"""
'''
# text source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft#Crewed_spacecraft
query = text_classification_prompt.format(
texts = '''
Text 1: The spacecraft succeeded in landing on the moon.
Text 2: Mission control had a stressful time during the takeoff, approaching the moon, and the landing.
Text 3: Speculators surrounding the spacecraft takeoff shed tears of laughter.
Text 4: Some committee members doubted the space missions goals.
'''
)
Which of these prompts performed best will be explained in the next section.
NLP Tasks with Haystack
Model Selection
In this article, hosted interference from Hugging Face is used. To follow along, you need a free account and create an API token. I recommend providing this API key as an environment variable, and then read its value from a Python script by accessing the environment variables of the running system. If you are using a hosted environment, e.g. Google Collab, environment variable management gets more complex, several solutions exist: a) store them in an online password tool, and use a Python library to access it, b) create an executable shell script, store this in a Google drive, then mount it (see this article), or c) use explicit secret management tools offered by from the same platform, for example Google Secrets Manager.
First of all, we can see the list of all models via an API endpoint:

Prompts Generation
To find the best way to formulate prompts, I took the model tiiuae/falcon-7b-instruct and compared the output from the model hub, the self-defined prompt template, and Python format strings. The prompts definition were shown above, now lets see the resulting answers.
# option A: prompt hub
The spacecraft succeeded in landing on the moon. The category that best describes the situation is "stressful". Speculators surrounding the spacecraft takeoff shed tears of laughter.realization
# option B: custom prompt template
'''
The spacecraft succeeded in landing on the moon.
'''
Category: neutral
1. The spacecraft succeeded in landing on the moon. - neutral
2. The spacecraft failed to land on the moon. - disapproval
3. The spacecraft was destroyed during the landing process. - realization
4. The spacecraft was a success. - joy
5. The spacecraft was a failure. - embarrassment'''
Mission control had a stressful time during the takeoff, approaching the moon, and the landing.
'''
Category: neutral
Neutral: 'Some committee members doubted the space missions goals.'
Approval: 'The astronauts were filled with joy and pride.'
Disapproval: 'Some committee members doubted the space missions goals.'
Realization: 'Some committee members doubted the space missions goals.'
Joy: 'The astronauts were filled with joy and pride.'
# option C: Python format string
Text 1: Realization
Text 2: Disapproval
Text 3: Disapproval
Text 4: Realization
When using the prompt abstractions, the answers are formatted strangely, and the answers are at the same time more verbose and seem to be cut of after a number of words. I could not find a solution, merely this discussion about token length, that indicates that the token count includes both the input.
I could get the best results with format strings, and will use them in the remainder of this article.
Comparing NLP Task Completion
Token Classification: Sentence Grammar
The first task is to provide the grammatical structure of a sentence, identifying the nouns, verbs and adjectives.
token_classification_prompt = '''

# text source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft#Crewed_spacecraft
query = token_classification_prompt.format(text = "Many space missions are more suited to telerobotic rather than crewed operation, due to lower cost and lower risk factors.")
The result is just disappointing: No model could provide a suitable answer.

Token Classification: Named Entity Recognition
In this task, models need to identify concrete objects mentioned in a text. The following task uses a text about crewed spacecrafts.
named_entity_recognition_prompt = '''
Instruction: In the following text, identify all persons, places, and named objects.
Desired format:

Answer:

# text source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft#Crewed_spacecraft
query = named_entity_recognition_prompt.format(

The first crewed spacecraft was Vostok 1, which carried Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into space in 1961, and completed a full Earth orbit. There were five other crewed missions which used a Vostok spacecraft. The second crewed spacecraft was named Freedom 7, and it performed a sub-orbital spaceflight in 1961 carrying American astronaut Alan Shepard to an altitude of just over 187 kilometers (116 mi).

You can use the following regex:

The regex matches the following pattern:

([^:]+) - Capturing group 1: one or more characters that are not :
The falcon-7b-instruct model, trained on instructions, provided the best results, but it also missed to recognize the places that were mentioned in the text.
Text Classification
The text classification tasks turned out to be as equally difficult as the first token classification: I needed several attempts to design a prompt that leads to good results.
text_classification_prompt = '''
Instruction: Categorize each of the following texts with one category
Allowed Categories: neutral, approval, disapproval, realization, joy, embarrassment
Texts:"""
{texts}

Answer:

# text source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft#Crewed_spacecraft
query = text_classification_prompt.format(
texts = '''

Text 2: Mission control had a stressful time during the takeoff, approaching the moon, and the landing.
Text 3: Speculators surrounding the spacecraft takeoff shed tears of laughter.
Text 4: Some committee members doubted the space missions goals.
'''
)
The models gave the following answers:
# *** tiiuae/falcon-7b-instruct ***
Text 1: Realization
Text 2: Disapproval
Text 3: Neutral
Text 4: Disapproval
#
# *** google/flan-t5-xxl ***
disapproval
# *** EleutherAI/gpt-neox-20b ***
Text 1: neutral
Text 2: disapproval
Text 3: approval
Text 4: neutral
A:
I think you can use the following regex:
(?i)(?<!\S)(?<!\S)(?<!\S)(?<!\S)(?<!\S)(?<!\S)(?<!\S)(?<!\S)(?<!\S)(?<!\S)(?<!\S)(?<!\S)(
# *** bigscience/bloom ***
Text 1 is neutral
Text 2 is disapproval
Text 3 is embarrassment
Text 4 is joy
Again falcon-7b-instruct scored best, but also gpt-neox-20b and bloom provided convincing answers.
Summarization
The text summarization prompt is easy to formulate.
text_summarization_prompt = '''
Instruction: Summarize the following text.
Text: """

Answer:
'''
# text source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft#Uncrewed_spacecraft

Many space missions are more suited to telerobotic rather than crewed operation, due to lower cost and lower risk factors.

Outer planets such as Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are too distant to reach with current crewed spaceflight technology, so telerobotic probes are the only way to explore them. Telerobotics also allows exploration of regions that are vulnerable to contamination by Earth micro-organisms since spacecraft can be sterilized. Humans can not be sterilized in the same way as a spaceship, as they coexist with numerous micro-organisms, and these micro-organisms are also hard to contain within a spaceship or spacesuit. Multiple space probes were sent to study Moon, the planets, the Sun, multiple small Solar System bodies (comets and asteroids).

While gpt-neox-20b and bloom merely repeated parts of the input, flan-t5-xxl gave a short definition for the concepts of telerobotics with no information that was included in the text.
Translation
For the translation prompt, all possible parameters are customizable: the origin language, the target language, and the text that should be translated.
translation_prompt = '''
Instruction: Translate the following text from {origin_language} to {target_language}.

Answer:

query = translation_prompt.format(
origin_language = "English",
target_language = "Spanish",
text = "Many space missions are more suited to telerobotic rather than crewed operation, due to lower cost and lower risk factors",
)
No model could translate to Japanese, so Spanish was used. Interestingly, the model gpt-neox-20b states on its model description "This model is English-language only, and thus cannot be used for translation or generating text in other languages." but it actually did.
To check the answers quality, I entered the texts into Google Translate.

I think the problem is that you are using the wrong tool for the job. You are trying to use a regex to parse a natural language sentence. This is not a good idea. You should use a natural language parser instead.

All translations are ok. The answer from the bloom model was entertaining, it kept again a habit to solve a software engineering task, and this time recommended concrete libraries.
Question Answering
The question answering tasks, especially in open domains, is a hallmark of NLP models that pave the way for developing true assistants. There are many ways to ask about a text, in the following example, an extraction of mentioned facts is attempted.
question_answering_prompt = '''
Instruction: Answer a question for the given text.

Answer:

question = "What are the risks of Artificial Intelligence?",
text = "For example, in the 2010 flash crash, automated trading systems unexpectedly overreacted to market aberrations, destroying one trillion dollars of stock value in minutes.

)
print(query)
And the results:

The results are interesting and variable. The falcon-7b-instruct model answered with two risks, but the second one is wrongly attributed to AI. Next, flan-t5-xxl gave a short summary, and gpt-neox-20b repeated most of the content. Finally, bloom answered with facts that are not at all mentioned in the provided text.

Inhabitation and territorial use of extraterrestrial space have been proposed by various scientists and researchers. Some of the most notable examples include the 1959 Soviet Union cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin's journey into outer space, the 1971 American Apollo 11 mission that landed the first humans on the moon, and the 2011 Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency mission that sent a rover to the moon. These missions have all demonstrated the potential for humans to explore and colonize extr

The inhabitation and territorial use of extraterrestrial space
# *** bigscience/bloom ***
The inhabitation and territorial use of extraterrestrial space has been proposed, for example, by the Space Studies Institute, a private research organization in the United States, which has suggested that the Moon and Mars be divided into a number of zones, each with its own government and economy. The zones would be divided into a number of sectors, each with its own government and economy. The sectors would be divided into a number of districts, each with its own government and economy. The districts would be divided into
Conclusion
This article showed how to use the Python library Haystack for using 4 different models hosted at HuggingFace: falcon-7b-instruct, flan-t5-xxl, gpt-neox-20b, and bloom. Each model was given a custom Python-formatted string describing a NLP tasks, such as to identify persons and places in a text, to summarize and translate a text, or to answer questions. Each model showed a clear tendency in its answer behavior: flan-t5-xxl preferred short answers, bloom gave reference to programming with regular expressions, gpt-neox-20b often repeated its input. The best model in this testset is falcon-7b-instruct. Overall, one fact can be seen clearly: only models that are fine tuned for instructions generate acceptable answers. Comparing all of these models to OpenAI, both prompt engineering was time intensive, and answer quality lacking. Fine tuning of these LLMs, and then applying the same questions again, is an interesting future work.
