Advanced RAG: Automated Structured Metadata Enrichment
Last Updated: October 10, 2024
In this example, you’ll see how you can make use of structured outputs which is an option for some LLMs, and a custom Haystack component, to automate the enrichment of metadata from documents.
You will see how you can define your own metadata fields as a Pydantic Model, as well as the data types each field should have. Finally, you will get a custom MetadataEnricher to extract the required fields and add them to the document meta information.
In this example, we will be enriching metadata with information relating the funding announements.
Once we populate the metadata of a document with our own fields, we are able to use Metadata Filtering during the retrieval step of RAG pipelines. We can even combine this with Metadata Extraction from Queries to Improve Retrieval to be very precise about what documents we are providing as context to an LLM.

🧪 Experimental Addition to the OpenAIGenerator for Structured Output Support
🚀 This is the same extension to the
OpenAIGeneratorthat was used in the Advanced RAG: Query Decomposition and Reasoning example
Let’s extend the OpenAIGeneraotor to be able to make use of the
strctured output option by OpenAI. Below, we extend the class to call self.client.beta.chat.completions.parse if the user has provides a respose_format in generation_kwargs. This will allow us to provifde a Pydantic Model to the gnerator and request our generator to respond with structured outputs that adhere to this Pydantic schema.
class OpenAIGenerator(OpenAIGenerator):
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
super().__init__(**kwargs)
@component.output_types(replies=List[str], meta=List[Dict[str, Any]], structured_reply=BaseModel)
def run(self, prompt: str, streaming_callback: Optional[Callable[[StreamingChunk], None]] = None, generation_kwargs: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None,):
generation_kwargs = {**self.generation_kwargs, **(generation_kwargs or {})}
if "response_format" in generation_kwargs.keys():
message = ChatMessage.from_user(prompt)
if self.system_prompt:
messages = [ChatMessage.from_system(self.system_prompt), message]
else:
messages = [message]
streaming_callback = streaming_callback or self.streaming_callback
openai_formatted_messages = [_convert_message_to_openai_format(message) for message in messages]
completion: Union[Stream[ChatCompletionChunk], ChatCompletion] = self.client.beta.chat.completions.parse(
model=self.model,
messages=openai_formatted_messages,
**generation_kwargs)
completions = [self._build_structured_message(completion, choice) for choice in completion.choices]
for response in completions:
self._check_finish_reason(response)
return {
"replies": [message.content for message in completions],
"meta": [message.meta for message in completions],
"structured_reply": completions[0].content
}
else:
return super().run(prompt, streaming_callback, generation_kwargs)
def _build_structured_message(self, completion: Any, choice: Any) -> ChatMessage:
chat_message = ChatMessage.from_assistant(choice.message.parsed or "")
chat_message.meta.update(
{
"model": completion.model,
"index": choice.index,
"finish_reason": choice.finish_reason,
"usage": dict(completion.usage),
}
)
return chat_message

Custom MetadataEnricher
We create a custom Haystack component that is able ti accept metadata_model and prompt. If no prompt is provided, it usees the DEFAULT_PROMPT.
This component returns documents enriched with the requested metadata fileds.
DEFAULT_PROMPT = """
Given the contents of the documents, extract the requested metadata.
The requested metadata is {{ metadata_model }}
Document:
{{document}}
Metadata:
"""
@component
class MetadataEnricher:
def __init__(self, metadata_model: BaseModel, prompt:str = DEFAULT_PROMPT):
self.metadata_model = metadata_model
self.metadata_prompt = prompt
builder = PromptBuilder(self.metadata_prompt)
llm = OpenAIGenerator(generation_kwargs={"response_format": metadata_model})
self.pipeline = Pipeline()
self.pipeline.add_component(name="builder", instance=builder)
self.pipeline.add_component(name="llm", instance=llm)
self.pipeline.connect("builder", "llm")
@component.output_types(documents=List[Document])
def run(self, documents: List[Document]):
documents_with_meta = []
for document in documents:
result = self.pipeline.run({'builder': {'document': document.content, 'metadata_model': self.metadata_model}})
metadata = result['llm']['structured_reply']
document.meta.update(metadata.dict())
documents_with_meta.append(document)
return {"documents": documents_with_meta}
Define Metadata Fields as a Pydantic Model
For automatic metadata enrichment, we want to be able to provide a structure describing what fields we want to extract, as well as what types they should be.
Below, I have defined a Metadata model, with 4 fields.
💡 Note: In some cases, it might make sense to make each field optional, or provide default values.
class Metadata(BaseModel):
company: str
year: int
funding_value: int
funding_currency: str
Next, we initialize a MetadataEnricher and provide Metadata as the metadata_model we want to abide by.
enricher = MetadataEnricher(metadata_model=Metadata)
Build an Automated Metadata Enrichment Pipeline
Now that we have our enricher, we can use it in a pipeline. Below is an example of a pipeline that fetches the contents of some URLs (in this case, urls that contain information about funding announcements). The pipeline then adds the requested metadata fields to each Document’s meta field 👇
pipeline = Pipeline()
pipeline.add_component("fetcher", LinkContentFetcher())
pipeline.add_component("converter", HTMLToDocument())
pipeline.add_component("enricher", enricher)
pipeline.connect("fetcher", "converter")
pipeline.connect("converter.documents", "enricher.documents")
pipeline.run({"fetcher": {"urls": ['https://techcrunch.com/2023/08/09/deepset-secures-30m-to-expand-its-llm-focused-mlops-offerings/',

Extra: Metadata Inheritance
This is just an extra step to show how metadata that belongs to a document is inherited by the document chunks if you use a component such as the DocumentSplitter.
