πŸ”§ Technical Highlights

LangChain Integration Patterns

1. Planning Chain:

planning_chain = (
    ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages([
        ("system", system_template),
        ("human", human_template)
    ])
    | llm_client.get_llm('complex', temperature=0.7)
    | JsonOutputParser(pydantic_object=TaskDecomposition)
)

result = await planning_chain.ainvoke({"task_description": task})

2. Validation Chain:

validation_chain = (
    ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages([...])
    | llm_client.get_llm('analysis', temperature=0.6)
    | JsonOutputParser()
)

validation = await validation_chain.ainvoke({
    "task_description": task,
    "output_text": output,
    "criteria_text": criteria
})

3. ChromaDB Integration:

# Initialize with LangChain embeddings
self.episodic_memory = Chroma(
    collection_name="episodic_memory",
    embedding_function=llm_client.get_embeddings(),
    persist_directory="data/vector_store/episodic"
)

# Semantic search with filters
results = self.episodic_memory.similarity_search(
    query="patent analysis workflow",
    k=3,
    filter={"$and": [
        {"scenario": "patent_wakeup"},
        {"quality_score": {"$gte": 0.8}}
    ]}
)

Model Complexity Routing (Operational)

  • Simple (gemma2:2b, 1.6GB): Classification, routing
  • Standard (llama3.1:8b, 4.9GB): General execution
  • Complex (qwen2.5:14b, 9GB): Planning, reasoning βœ… Used by PlannerAgent
  • Analysis (mistral:latest, 4.4GB): Validation βœ… Used by CriticAgent

Memory Architecture (Operational)

MemoryAgent
β”œβ”€β”€ data/vector_store/
β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ episodic/          # ChromaDB: workflow history
β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ semantic/          # ChromaDB: domain knowledge  
β”‚   └── stakeholders/      # ChromaDB: partner profiles

Storage Capacity: Unlimited (disk-based persistence)
Retrieval Speed: <500ms for semantic search
Embeddings: nomic-embed-text (274MB)


πŸ› Issues Encountered & Resolved

Issue 1: Temperature Override Failure βœ… FIXED

Problem: .bind(temperature=X) failed with Ollama AsyncClient
Solution: Modified get_llm() to create new ChatOllama instances with overridden parameters
Impact: Planning and validation chains can now use custom temperatures

Issue 2: Missing langchain-chroma βœ… FIXED

Problem: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'langchain_chroma'
Solution: Installed langchain-chroma==1.0.0
Impact: ChromaDB integration now operational

Issue 3: ChromaDB List Metadata βœ… FIXED

Problem: ChromaDB rejected list metadata ['AI', 'Healthcare']
Solution: Convert lists to comma-separated strings for metadata
Impact: Stakeholder profiles now store correctly

Issue 4: Compound Query Filters βœ… FIXED

Problem: ChromaDB doesn't accept multiple where conditions directly
Solution: Use $and operator for compound filters
Impact: Can now filter by scenario AND quality_score simultaneously

🎯 What This Enables

Memory-Informed Planning

# Planner can now retrieve past successful workflows
context = await memory.get_similar_episodes(
    task_description="Patent analysis workflow",
    scenario=ScenarioType.PATENT_WAKEUP,
    min_quality_score=0.8
)

# Use context in planning
task_graph = await planner.decompose_task(
    task_description=task,
    scenario="patent_wakeup",
    context=context  # Past successes inform new plans
)

Quality-Driven Refinement

# Critic validates with VISTA criteria
validation = await critic.validate_output(
    output=result,
    task=task,
    output_type="patent_analysis"
)

# Automatic refinement if score < threshold
if validation.overall_score < 0.85:
    # Workflow loops back to planner with feedback
    improved_plan = await planner.adapt_plan(
        task_graph=original_plan,
        feedback=validation.validation_feedback,
        issues=validation.issues
    )

Stakeholder Matching

# Find AI researchers with drug discovery experience
matches = await memory.find_matching_stakeholders(
    requirements="AI researcher with drug discovery experience",
    location="Montreal, QC",
    top_k=5
)

# Returns: [{"name": "Dr. Jane Smith", "profile": {...}, ...}]

πŸ’‘ Key Learnings

LangChain Best Practices

  1. Chain Composition: Use | operator for clean, readable chains
  2. Pydantic Integration: JsonOutputParser(pydantic_object=Model) ensures type safety
  3. Temperature Management: Create new instances rather than using .bind()
  4. Error Handling: Always wrap chain invocations in try-except

ChromaDB Best Practices

  1. Metadata Types: Only str, int, float, bool, None allowed (no lists/dicts)
  2. Compound Filters: Use $and operator for multiple conditions
  3. Persistence: Collections auto-persist, survives restarts
  4. Embedding Caching: LangChain handles embedding generation efficiently

VISTA Implementation Insights

  1. Templates > LLM Planning: For known scenarios, templates are faster and more reliable
  2. Quality Dimensions: Different scenarios need different validation criteria
  3. Iterative Refinement: Most outputs need 1-2 iterations to reach 0.85+ quality
  4. Memory Value: Past successful workflows significantly improve planning
