📊 Chi tiết các thành phần

1. Data Ingestion & Indexing

1.1 Document Loading

• Input formats: PDF, DOCX, TXT
• Processing: Text extraction, cleaning, normalization
• Output: Structured text data

1.2 Text Chunking

# Chunking strategy
chunk_size = 1000  # characters
chunk_overlap = 200  # characters
chunking_method = "recursive_character_splitter"

1.3 Embedding Generation

• Model: Google Universal Sentence Encoder (USE)
• Vector dimension: 512
• Normalization: L2 normalization
• Storage: ChromaDB vector database

2. Vector Database Architecture

2.1 ChromaDB Configuration

# Database settings
collection_name = f"user_{user_id}_diary"
metadata = {
    "user_id": user_id,
    "source": "diary_entry",
    "date": entry_date,
    "chunk_id": chunk_id
}

2.2 Index Structure

• Primary key: user_id + chunk_id
• Vector index: HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World)
• Distance metric: Cosine similarity
• Sharding: Per-user collections

3. Retrieval Engine

3.1 Query Processing

# Query preprocessing
def process_query(query: str):
    # 1. Text cleaning
    # 2. Stop word removal
    # 3. Lemmatization
    # 4. Query expansion
    return processed_query

3.2 Vector Search

• Search algorithm: K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN)
• Top-k results: 5-10 most relevant chunks
• Similarity threshold: 0.7 (cosine similarity)
• Reranking: Semantic relevance scoring

3.3 Context Assembly

# Context building
def build_context(retrieved_chunks, query):
    # 1. Sort by relevance score
    # 2. Remove duplicates
    # 3. Truncate to token limit
    # 4. Add metadata context
    return final_context

4. Generation Engine

4.1 LLM Integration

• Primary model: OpenAI GPT-3.5/4
• Fallback model: Local model (nếu cần)
• Temperature: 0.7 (balanced creativity)
• Max tokens: 500 (response length)

4.2 Prompt Engineering

# System prompt template
SYSTEM_PROMPT = """
You are a helpful AI assistant that answers questions about personal diary entries.
Use only the provided context to answer questions.
If the information is not in the context, say so.
Be conversational but professional.
"""

4.3 Response Generation

# Generation pipeline
def generate_response(query, context, chat_history):
    # 1. Build prompt with context
    # 2. Call LLM API
    # 3. Post-process response
    # 4. Validate against context
    # 5. Return final answer
