camel.retrievers.base module#
- class camel.retrievers.base.BaseRetriever[source]#
Bases:
ABC
Abstract base class for implementing various types of information retrievers.
- process(*input: Any) None #
Defines the process behavior performed at every call.
- Processes content from a file or URL, divides it into chunks by
using Unstructured IO,then stored internally. This method must be called before executing queries with the retriever.
Should be overridden by all subclasses.
Note
Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the
BaseRetriever
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the registered hooks while the latter silently ignores them.
- query(*input: Any) None #
Defines the query behavior performed at every call.
- Query the results. Subclasses should implement this
method according to their specific needs.
It should be overridden by all subclasses.
Note
Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the
BaseRetriever
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the registered hooks while the latter silently ignores them.
