What is KG-RAG?

KG-RAG stands for Knowledge Graph-based Retrieval Augmented Generation.

Start by watching the video of KG-RAG

It is a task agnostic framework that combines the explicit knowledge of a Knowledge Graph (KG) with the implicit knowledge of a Large Language Model (LLM). Here is the arXiv preprint of the work.

Here, we utilize a massive biomedical KG called SPOKE as the provider for the biomedical context. SPOKE has incorporated over 40 biomedical knowledge repositories from diverse domains, each focusing on biomedical concept like genes, proteins, drugs, compounds, diseases, and their established connections. SPOKE consists of more than 27 million nodes of 21 different types and 53 million edges of 55 types [Ref]

The main feature of KG-RAG is that it extracts "prompt-aware context" from SPOKE KG, which is defined as:

the minimal context sufficient enough to respond to the user prompt.

Hence, this framework empowers a general-purpose LLM by incorporating an optimized domain-specific 'prompt-aware context' from a biomedical KG.

Example use case of KG-RAG

Following snippet shows the news from FDA website about the drug "setmelanotide" approved by FDA for weight management in patients with Bardet-Biedl Syndrome

Ask GPT-4 about the above drug:

WITHOUT KG-RAG

Note: This example was run using KG-RAG v0.3.0. We are prompting GPT from the terminal, NOT from the chatGPT browser. Temperature parameter is set to 0 for all the analysis. Refer this yaml file for parameter setting

WITH KG-RAG

Note: This example was run using KG-RAG v0.3.0. Temperature parameter is set to 0 for all the analysis. Refer this yaml file for parameter setting

You can see that, KG-RAG was able to give the correct information about the FDA approved drug.

How to run KG-RAG

Note: At the moment, KG-RAG is specifically designed for running prompts related to Diseases. We are actively working on improving its versatility.

Step 1: Clone the repo

Clone this repository. All Biomedical data used in the paper are uploaded to this repository, hence you don't have to download that separately.

Step 2: Create a virtual environment

Note: Scripts in this repository were run using python 3.10.9

conda create -n kg_rag python=3.10.9
conda activate kg_rag
cd KG_RAG

Step 3: Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 4: Update config.yaml

config.yaml holds all the necessary information required to run the scripts in your machine. Make sure to populate this yaml file accordingly.

Note: There is another yaml file called system_prompts.yaml. This is already populated and it holds all the system prompts used in the KG-RAG framework.

Step 5: Run the setup script

Note: Make sure you are in KG_RAG folder

Setup script runs in an interactive fashion.

Running the setup script will:

  • create disease vector database for KG-RAG
  • download Llama model in your machine (optional, you can skip this and that is totally fine)
python -m kg_rag.run_setup

Step 6: Run KG-RAG from your terminal

Note: Make sure you are in KG_RAG folder

You can run KG-RAG using GPT and Llama model.

Using GPT

# GPT_API_TYPE='azure'
python -m kg_rag.rag_based_generation.GPT.text_generation -g 
# GPT_API_TYPE='openai'
python -m kg_rag.rag_based_generation.GPT.text_generation -g 

Example:

Note: The following example was run on AWS p3.8xlarge EC2 instance and using KG-RAG v0.3.0.

Using GPT interactive mode

This allows the user to go over each step of the process in an interactive fashion

# GPT_API_TYPE='azure'
python -m kg_rag.rag_based_generation.GPT.text_generation -i True -g 
# GPT_API_TYPE='openai'
python -m kg_rag.rag_based_generation.GPT.text_generation -i True -g 

Using Llama

Note: If you haven't downloaded Llama during setup step, then when you run the following, it may take sometime since it will download the model first.

python -m kg_rag.rag_based_generation.Llama.text_generation -m 

Example:

Note: The following example was run on AWS p3.8xlarge EC2 instance and using KG-RAG v0.3.0.

Using Llama interactive mode

This allows the user to go over each step of the process in an interactive fashion

python -m kg_rag.rag_based_generation.Llama.text_generation -i True -m 

Command line arguments for KG-RAG

Argument Default Value Definition Allowed Options Notes
-g gpt-35-turbo GPT model selection gpt models provided by OpenAI Use only for GPT models
-i False Flag for interactive mode (shows step-by-step) True or False Can be used for both GPT and Llama models
-e False Flag for showing evidence of association from the graph True or False Can be used for both GPT and Llama models
-m method-1 Which tokenizer method to use method-1 or method-2. method-1 uses 'AutoTokenizer' and method-2 uses 'LlamaTokenizer' and with an additional 'legacy' flag set to False while initiating the tokenizer Use only for Llama models

BiomixQA: Benchmark dataset

BiomixQA is a curated biomedical question-answering dataset utilized to validate KG-RAG framework across different LLMs. This consists of:

  • Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ)
  • True/False Questions

The diverse nature of questions in this dataset, spanning multiple choice and true/false formats, along with its coverage of various biomedical concepts, makes it particularly suitable to support research and development in biomedical natural language processing, knowledge graph reasoning, and question-answering systems.

This dataset is currently hosted in Hugging Face and you can find it here.

It’s easy to get started with BiomixQA—just three lines of Python to load the dataset:

from datasets import load_dataset

# For MCQ data
mcq_data = load_dataset("kg-rag/BiomixQA", "mcq")

# For True/False data
tf_data = load_dataset("kg-rag/BiomixQA", "true_false")
