[Feature Request]: Document Retrieval control

[Jayaprakash8887]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As mentioned in the PGVector documentation, nearest documents are fetched for a given query. However, fetched documents may not contain the intended documents where the necessary information may exist, if these documents are not the nearest.

Describe the solution you'd like

1. Provide a configuration to fetch X nearest documents from Vector DB along with "scores"
2. Provide a function and configuration for performing score based filtering of the fetched X documents. Ex: Filter for documents with score above 0.7 where 0.7 means higher matching percentage. (works reverse in Milvus).
3. Provide a configuration to fetch TOP Y documents from the top score filtered list of documents in above step.

Suggesting this as we have faced the issue of not being able to get the intended document from the VectorDB. We followed above approach to increase accuracy of intended documents fetching.

Thanks @Jayaprakash8887. I read through the thread on LangChain that you have linked. I also looked at LangChain's documentation. We have hybrid search enabled like shown in this example below -- relevant source code of the retriever service

vectorstore.similarity_search("bird", k=10, filter={"location": {"$ne": "pond"}})

Here is a reference to the indexer code

I looked at LangChain's source code as well for indexing and retrieving.

We are at the moment using LangChain defaults. I am unclear what exactly you want to change as per your point 1 -- Provide a configuration to fetch X nearest documents from Vector DB along with "scores"

Regarding point 2 Provide a function and configuration for performing score based filtering of the fetched X documents. Ex: Filter for documents with score above 0.7, you should filter the retrieved chunks in the FSM code.

Regarding point 3 Provide a configuration to fetch TOP Y documents, we allow you to specify the value for K

Explaining a use-case using MarqoDB as Vector store as I am yet to try document retrieval using PGVector.

When I am asking a query "How can I make my child aware of good touch and bad touch", Marqo is fetching me nearest documents containing information about "touch".

When the limit (top_k_docs) is 5, you can see from the output below that the document which actually speaks about good/safe touch and bad/unsafe touch does not get retrieved at all.

When the limit (top_k_docs) is 20, the document which actually speaks about good/safe touch and bad/unsafe touch gets retrieved though might not be the top similarity score matching document. { "metadata": "{\"page_label\": \"29\", \"file_name\": \"Course 02 Shifting Towards Competency Based Education.pdf\", \"file_path\": \"/home/jayaprakash/D/BOT/DJP/teacher-activity-pdfs/Course 02 Shifting Towards Competency Based Education.pdf\", \"file_type\": \"application/pdf\"}", "text": "well as emotional and psychological distress.

At present, Retriever code is performing top_k_docs fetch using similarity But not retrieving the score of these documents. If the score can also be retrieved, then, as you mentioned I can implement filtering of documents based on similarity score be done in FSM file.
