With the appearance of generative AI, right now’s basis fashions (FMs), comparable to the massive language fashions (LLMs) Claude 2 and Llama 2, can carry out a variety of generative duties comparable to query answering, summarization, and content material creation on textual content information. Nonetheless, real-world information exists in a number of modalities, comparable to textual content, photographs, video, and audio. Take a PowerPoint slide deck, for instance. It may comprise data within the type of textual content, or embedded in graphs, tables, and footage.
On this publish, we current an answer that makes use of multimodal FMs such because the Amazon Titan Multimodal Embeddings mannequin and LLaVA 1.5 and AWS companies together with Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker to carry out comparable generative duties on multimodal information.
Answer overview
The answer gives an implementation for answering questions utilizing data contained within the textual content and visible parts of a slide deck. The design depends on the idea of Retrieval Augmented Technology (RAG). Historically, RAG has been related to textual information that may be processed by LLMs. On this publish, we prolong RAG to incorporate photographs as effectively. This gives a robust search functionality to extract contextually related content material from visible parts like tables and graphs together with textual content.
There are other ways to design a RAG answer that features photographs. We’ve got offered one strategy right here and can observe up with an alternate strategy within the second publish of this three-part sequence.
This answer contains the next parts:
- Amazon Titan Multimodal Embeddings mannequin – This FM is used to generate embeddings for the content material within the slide deck used on this publish. As a multimodal mannequin, this Titan mannequin can course of textual content, photographs, or a mixture as enter and generate embeddings. The Titan Multimodal Embeddings mannequin generates vectors (embeddings) of 1,024 dimensions and is accessed through Amazon Bedrock.
- Massive Language and Imaginative and prescient Assistant (LLaVA) – LLaVA is an open supply multimodal mannequin for visible and language understanding and is used to interpret the information within the slides, together with visible parts comparable to graphs and tables. We use the 7-billion parameter model LLaVA 1.5-7b on this answer.
- Amazon SageMaker – The LLaVA mannequin is deployed on a SageMaker endpoint utilizing SageMaker internet hosting companies, and we use the ensuing endpoint to run inferences in opposition to the LLaVA mannequin. We additionally use SageMaker notebooks to orchestrate and show this answer finish to finish.
- Amazon OpenSearch Serverless – OpenSearch Serverless is an on-demand serverless configuration for Amazon OpenSearch Service. We use OpenSearch Serverless as a vector database for storing embeddings generated by the Titan Multimodal Embeddings mannequin. An index created within the OpenSearch Serverless assortment serves because the vector retailer for our RAG answer.
- Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion (OSI) – OSI is a completely managed, serverless information collector that delivers information to OpenSearch Service domains and OpenSearch Serverless collections. On this publish, we use an OSI pipeline to ship information to the OpenSearch Serverless vector retailer.
Answer structure
The answer design consists of two components: ingestion and consumer interplay. Throughout ingestion, we course of the enter slide deck by changing every slide into a picture, generate embeddings for these photographs, after which populate the vector information retailer. These steps are accomplished previous to the consumer interplay steps.
Within the consumer interplay part, a query from the consumer is transformed into embeddings and a similarity search is run on the vector database to discover a slide that might doubtlessly comprise solutions to consumer query. We then present this slide (within the type of a picture file) to the LLaVA mannequin and the consumer query as a immediate to generate a solution to the question. All of the code for this publish is obtainable within the GitHub repo.
The next diagram illustrates the ingestion structure.
The workflow steps are as follows:
- Slides are transformed to picture recordsdata (one per slide) in JPG format and handed to the Titan Multimodal Embeddings mannequin to generate embeddings. On this publish, we use the slide deck titled Prepare and deploy Steady Diffusion utilizing AWS Trainium & AWS Inferentia from the AWS Summit in Toronto, June 2023, to show the answer. The pattern deck has 31 slides, so we generate 31 units of vector embeddings, every with 1,024 dimensions. We add extra metadata fields to those generated vector embeddings and create a JSON file. These extra metadata fields can be utilized to carry out wealthy search queries utilizing OpenSearch’s highly effective search capabilities.
- The generated embeddings are put collectively in a single JSON file that’s uploaded to Amazon Easy Storage Service (Amazon S3).
- By way of Amazon S3 Occasion Notifications, an occasion is put in an Amazon Easy Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue.
- This occasion within the SQS queue acts as a set off to run the OSI pipeline, which in flip ingests the information (JSON file) as paperwork into the OpenSearch Serverless index. Be aware that the OpenSearch Serverless index is configured because the sink for this pipeline and is created as a part of the OpenSearch Serverless assortment.
The next diagram illustrates the consumer interplay structure.
The workflow steps are as follows:
- A consumer submits a query associated to the slide deck that has been ingested.
- The consumer enter is transformed into embeddings utilizing the Titan Multimodal Embeddings mannequin accessed through Amazon Bedrock. An OpenSearch vector search is carried out utilizing these embeddings. We carry out a k-nearest neighbor (ok=1) search to retrieve essentially the most related embedding matching the consumer question. Setting ok=1 retrieves essentially the most related slide to the consumer query.
- The metadata of the response from OpenSearch Serverless incorporates a path to the picture equivalent to essentially the most related slide.
- A immediate is created by combining the consumer query and the picture path and supplied to LLaVA hosted on SageMaker. The LLaVA mannequin is ready to perceive the consumer query and reply it by analyzing the information within the picture.
- The results of this inference is returned to the consumer.
These steps are mentioned intimately within the following sections. See the Outcomes part for screenshots and particulars on the output.
