**DeepSeek API** for LLM functionality - **Jina Reranker** for search optimization ## Quick Start ### Prerequisites 1. **Install Ollama** and pull required models: ```bash ollama pull snowflake-arctic-embed2:latest ollama pull jina-reranker-v2:latest ollama pull mistral-nemo:latest ``` 2. **Ensure databases are running**: - Redis (Memurai) on `localhost:6379` - Neo4j on `bolt://localhost:7687` (user: `neo4j`, password: `jleu1212`) - Qdrant on `http://localhost:6333` - PostgreSQL on `localhost:5432` (database: `rag_anything`, user: `jleu3482`, password: `jleu1212`) 3. **Install Python dependencies**: ```bash pip install -r requirements.txt ``` ### Running the System #### Method 1: Using zrun.bat (Windows) ```bash zrun.bat ``` #### Method 2: Manual Start ```bash cd LightRAG-main python -m lightrag.api.lightrag_server --port 3015 --host 0.0.0.0 --working-dir rag_storage --input-dir ../inputs --key jleu1212 --auto-scan-at-startup --llm-binding openai --embedding-binding ollama --rerank-binding jina ``` ### Access the Web UI Open your browser to: http://localhost:3015/webui/ **Login Credentials:** - Username: `jleu3482` - Password: `jleu1212` ## Configuration ### Environment Variables (`.env`) Key configurations: - **LLM**: DeepSeek API with GPU acceleration - **Embeddings**: Snowflake Arctic Embed 2 (1024 dimensions) - **Reranker**: Jina Reranker v2 - **Storage**: Redis + Neo4j + Qdrant + PostgreSQL - **OCR**: PaddleOCR with GPU acceleration ### Performance Settings - **Chunk Size**: 1200 tokens - **Chunk Overlap**: 100 tokens - **Max Parallel Insert**: 4 operations - **Max Graph Nodes**: 1000 nodes - **GPU Acceleration**: Enabled for OCR and embeddings ## Document Processing ### Enhanced Processing Pipeline with Dependency Isolation The system now features a sophisticated document processing pipeline with complete dependency isolation between OCR and image classification components: #### Processing Flow: 1. **Text-First Extraction**: All file types attempt text extraction first 2. **Image Extraction**: Extract images from documents (PDF, DOCX, images) 3. **OCR Processing**: PaddleOCR with GPU acceleration for text extraction from images 4. **Image Classification**: OpenCLIP in isolated environment for image content classification 5. **Metadata Integration**: Classification results included in searchable content 6. **Vector Embedding**: Snowflake Arctic Embed 2 7. **Multi-Database Storage**: Neo4j for knowledge graphs + Qdrant for vector search #### Dependency Isolation Architecture: - **PaddleOCR**: Runs in main environment with GPU-only operation - **OpenCLIP**: Runs in isolated virtual environment (`openclip_gpu_env`) to avoid dependency conflicts - **Persistent Classifier**: Fast GPU classifier with batch processing (16.6x performance improvement) #### Supported File Types - **PDF** (text-based and scanned): PyMuPDF + PaddleOCR + Tabula table extraction - **Images**: JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, GIF, WebP (OCR with table detection) - **Office Documents**: DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, XLS, XLSX (native table extraction) - **Text Files**: TXT, MD (text pattern table detection) - **HTML**: BeautifulSoup4 (table extraction from HTML tables) ### Table Extraction Capabilities LightRAG now features enhanced table recognition with a hybrid approach for optimal speed and accuracy: #### Table Extraction Methods 1. **Tabula Integration** (Digital PDFs): - Extracts tables from PDFs with text layers using Tabula library - Supports both lattice (bordered) and stream (borderless) table detection - Non-AI approach with excellent accuracy for digital PDFs - Fast processing with direct PDF parsing 2. **Enhanced OCR Heuristics** (Scanned Documents): - Advanced layout analysis of OCR bounding boxes - Adaptive row grouping based on text height and vertical alignment - Column clustering with dynamic threshold detection - Header row detection and table boundary validation - Non-AI approach optimized for scanned documents and images 3. **Text Pattern Detection** (Simple Tables): - Detects pipe (`|`) and tab-separated tables in text content - Identifies table-like structures in plain text documents #### Hybrid Processing Strategy - **Digital PDFs**: Tabula extraction first, fallback to text pattern detection - **Scanned PDFs**: OCR with enhanced heuristic table detection - **Images**: OCR-based table extraction only - **Office Documents**: Native table extraction from DOCX/XLSX formats #### Performance Characteristics - **Non-AI Methods**: All table extraction methods are non-AI, ensuring fast processing - **Speed**: Tabula extraction is near-instant for digital PDFs; OCR heuristics add minimal overhead - **Accuracy**: High accuracy for digital PDFs with Tabula; good accuracy for scanned documents with enhanced heuristics - **Integration**: Extracted tables are included in searchable content and metadata #### Configuration - Tabula is automatically used when available (requires `tabula-py>=2.8.0`) - Enhanced OCR heuristics are enabled by default in the optimized OCR processor - Table extraction can be disabled via configuration if needed ### Image Classification Features - **Object Detection**: Identifies objects in images (e.g., "a photo of a bee") - **Content Understanding**: Classifies document elements (screenshots, charts, diagrams) - **Search Integration**: Classification metadata included in indexed content - **High Accuracy**: 100% confidence bee detection in test documents #### Test Document Use `test.docx` containing a bee image to verify the complete classification workflow: ```bash python test.py ``` ## API Endpoints ### Health Check ```bash curl http://localhost:3015/api/health ``` ### System Status ```bash curl http://localhost:3015/health ``` ### Document Upload ```bash curl -X POST -F "file=@document.pdf" http://localhost:3015/api/upload -H "X-API-Key: jleu1212" ``` ### Search ```bash curl -X POST http://localhost:3015/api/search -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-API-Key: jleu1212" -d '{"query": "your search query"}' ``` ## GPU Configuration The system is optimized for NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super with: - CUDA 11.8 - cuDNN 8.6.0 - PaddlePaddle GPU version - PyTorch with CUDA support ## Troubleshooting ### Common Issues 1. **OCR not working**: Check CUDA installation and PaddleOCR GPU support 2. **Database connection errors**: Verify all databases are running 3. **Model loading errors**: Ensure Ollama models are downloaded 4. **GPU memory issues**: Reduce batch sizes in configuration ### Logs Check `lightrag.log` for detailed processing logs and error information. ## Production Validation The system has been validated with comprehensive document processing: ### Core Functionality -
