EntityFullTextSearch module

EntityFullTextSearch

Bases: Module

BM25 full-text search over entities of a single label.

Graph-side counterpart of FullTextSearch. Thin deterministic wrapper around KnowledgeBase.entity_fulltext_search. The query text comes straight from the input data model's fulltext_search field — an embedded Generator builds the query from the inputs.

Single-label only: to retrieve entities of multiple labels, compose several EntityFullTextSearch modules in the program DAG and merge their outputs explicitly.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
knowledge_base KnowledgeBase

The knowledge base to search. Required.

None
schema dict

JSON schema of the entity. Used to infer label from its title when not given explicitly. Mutually inferrable with entity_model.

None
entity_model Entity | SymbolicDataModel

Entity model providing schema via .get_schema() when schema is not given. One of schema, entity_model, or label must be provided.

None
label str

Target entity label. Defaults to the schema's title. One of schema, entity_model, or label must be provided.

None
k int

Maximum number of results. Defaults to 10.

10
threshold float

Optional minimum BM25 score threshold.

None
conjunctive bool

When True, BM25 requires every term to match (AND-mode). Defaults to False.

False
bm25_b float

Optional override for BM25's b parameter.

None
output_format str

"json" (default) or "csv".

'json'
name str

Module name.

None
description str

Module description.

None
trainable bool

Whether the module's variables should be trainable.

True
