MachineIntelligence-TextAnalytics-TPLDataFlows

Machine Intelligence Text Analytics Enrichment implemented using Task Parallel Library Data Flow Pipelines:

• Document Enrichment Pipeline - Builds the entire Vector Database using OpenAI embeddings in SQL using 50 selected books
• Q&A Over Vector Database Pipeline - Searches the SQL Vector Database with provided question phrase using Semantic Kernel
• Total Text (OpenAI) Tokens Processed:...............8,189,964
• Total Text (Characters) Length Processed:..........33,355,101
• Total cost for processing and building Vector Database using OpenAI Embeddings (July 2023 prices):..$0.96 (96 cents; this depends on how the chunking of text is configured)

Features:

• The console app uses 35 selected books from the Project Gutenberg site from various authors: Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker, Edgar Allen Poe, Alexandre Dumas and performs enrichment using multiple AI enrichment steps
• Downloads book text, processes text analytics & embeddings, creates a vector database in SQL, demonstrates vector search and answers a sample question using semantic meaning from OpenAI embeddings
• Stores all enrichment output for each book in a seperate JSON file
• Rather than processing text analytics enrichment in single synchronous steps, it uses an data flow model to create efficient pipelines that can saturate multiple logical CPU cores
• Illustrates that SQL Server or Azure SQL can be used as a valid Vector Store, can perform vector search and provide Q&A over the database
• Demonstrates how to create a Machine Intelligence & Text Analytics Pipeline can be combbined using TPL DataFlows
• The console application is cross-platform .NET 8.x. It will run on macOS, Linux, Windows 10/11 x64, Windows 11 ARM

Requirements:

• Visual Studio 2022, .NET 8.x
• SQL Server Connection to either a local SQL Server 2022 (free Devolpment SKU or higher) or Azure SQL Database
• ******Note: SQL Server 2022 / Azure SQL Database features are used for JSON processing and ordered Columnstore Indexes
• OpenAI or Azure OpenAI API Access to both embeddings and completions
• ******Note: When using Azure OpenAI, ensure that the proper OpenAI models are deployed to the Azure OpenAI resource

Getting Started - Step 1) Configuration of SQL Connection and OpenAI API Keys (example of secrets.json shown below)

• Ensure to add .NET Secrets or JSON configuration (you will need to add the JSON code if using a file)
• Right-click on the C# Project and select "Manage User Secrets"
• Add the SQL Connection (SQLConnection) and OpenAI (APIKey) (if using Azure OpenAPI, use AzureOpenAPI section)

{
  "SQL": {
    "SqlConnection": "Server=[NAME OF SERVER],1433;Initial Catalog=MachineIntelligenceDb;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=[USERID];Password=[PASSWORD];MultipleActiveResultSets=False;Encrypt=True;TrustServerCertificate=False;Connection Timeout=5000;"
  },
  "OpenAI": {
    "APIKey": "[YOUR OPENAPI KEY]"
  },
  "AzureOpenAI": {
    "APIKey": "[YOUR AZURE OPENAPI KEY]"
  }
}

Getting Started - Step 2) Processing (after adding proper SQL and OpenAI/Azure OpenAI connections):

• Select option 1 to process the entire Data Enrichment Pipeline (build the embeddings Vector Database in SQL)
• Select option 2 to only process the Q&A pipeline using Semantic Kernel over the Vector Database (Note: Option #1 must have been run beforehand)
• Select option 3 to only process the Q&A pipeline with reasoning using Semantic Kernel over the Vector Database (Note: Option #1 must have been run beforehand). This option is similar to option #2 except it provides details on how the AI agent achieved the results.
