RelationHybridRegexSearch module

RelationHybridRegexSearch

Bases: Module

RRF of vector similarity + regex match over relations.

Graph-side counterpart of HybridRegexSearch, but for edges. LM-driven wrapper around KnowledgeBase.relation_hybrid_regex_search. Per matched edge, the final rrf_score is the sum of the subject's and the object's hybrid scores — same 4-source-RRF reduction as RelationHybridFTSSearch. Falls back to plain vector similarity when regex_patterns is empty.

Regex uses RE2, so patterns are linear-time and not vulnerable to catastrophic backtracking.

Single-label only: to retrieve relations of multiple labels, compose several RelationHybridRegexSearch 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 relation. Used to infer label from its title when not given explicitly. Mutually inferrable with relation_model.

None
relation_model Relation | SymbolicDataModel

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

None
label str

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

None
k int

Maximum number of results. Defaults to 10.

10
k_rank int

RRF smoothing constant. Defaults to 60.

60
similarity_threshold float

Optional vector-distance threshold for the vector branch.

None
fields list

Field names to match against in the regex branch. Applied to both endpoints.

None
case_sensitive bool

When False, regex matches are case-insensitive. Defaults to True.

True
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

    Args:
        knowledge_base (KnowledgeBase): The knowledge base to search.
            Required.
        schema (dict): JSON schema of the relation. Used to infer

            Mutually inferrable with ``relation_model``.
        relation_model (Relation | SymbolicDataModel): Relation model
            providing ``schema`` via ``.get_schema()`` when ``schema``
            is not given. One of ``schema``, ``relation_model``, or
            ``label`` must be provided.
        label (str): Target relation label. Defaults to the schema's
            ``title``. One of ``schema``, ``relation_model``, or
            ``label`` must be provided.
        k (int): Maximum number of results. Defaults to 10.

        fields (list): Field names to match against in the regex
            branch. Applied to both endpoints.

            case-insensitive. Defaults to ``True``.
        output_format (str): ``"json"`` (default) or ``"csv"``.
        name (str): Module name.
