Introduction

In this article, we will build a search engine, which will not only retrieve and rank the articles based on the query but also give us the response, along with a 1000 words context around the response.

To achieve this, we will need:

  • a structured dataset with reserach papers and its full text.
  • Transformers library to build QA model
  • and Finally, Haystack library to scale QA model to thousands of documents and build a search engine.

Data

For this tutorial, we will use COVID-19 Open Research Dataset Challenge (CORD-19).

CORD-19 is a resource of over 200,000 scholarly articles, including over 100,000 with full text, about COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, and related coronaviruses. This freely available dataset is provided to the global research community to apply recent advances in natural language processing and other AI techniques to generate new insights in support of the ongoing fight against this infectious disease.

This dataset is ideal for building document retrieval system as it has full research paper content in text format. Columns like

  • paper_id: Unique identifier of research paper
  • title: title of research paper
  • abstract: Bried summary of the research paper
  • full_text: Full text/content of the research paper;

are of our interest.

In Kaggle Folder Structure - There are 2 directories - pmc_json and pdf_json - which contains the data in the json format. We will take 25,000 articles from pmc_json directory and 25000 articles from pdf_json - So, a total of 50,000 research articles to build our search engine.

We will extract paper_id, title, abstract, full_text and put it in an easy to use pandas.DataFrame.

Let’s Code

Note
We will use Kaggle notebook to write our code to leverage GPU.

(50000, 4)

We have 50,000 articles and columns like paper_id, title, abstract and full_text

We will be interested in title and full_text columns as these columns will be used to build the engine. Let’s setup a Search Engine on top full_text - which contains the full content of the research papers.

Haystack

Now, Welcome Haystack! The secret sauce behind setting up a search engine and ability to scale any QA model to thousands of documents.

Haystack helps you scale QA models to large collections of documents! You can read more about this amazing library here https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack

For installation: ! pip install git+https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack.git

But just to give a background, there are 3 major components to Haystack.

  • Document Store: Database storing the documents for our search. We recommend Elasticsearch, but have also more light-weight options for fast prototyping (SQL or In-Memory).
  • Retriever: Fast, simple algorithm that identifies candidate passages from a large collection of documents. Algorithms include TF-IDF or BM25, custom Elasticsearch queries, and embedding-based approaches. The Retriever helps to narrow down the scope for Reader to smaller units of text where a given question could be answered.
  • Reader: Powerful neural model that reads through texts in detail to find an answer. Use diverse models like BERT, RoBERTa or XLNet trained via FARM or Transformers on SQuAD like tasks. The Reader takes multiple passages of text as input and returns top-n answers with corresponding confidence scores. You can just load a pretrained model from Hugging Face’s model hub or fine-tune it to your own domain data.

And then there is Finder which glues together a Reader and a Retriever as a pipeline to provide an easy-to-use question answering interface.

Now, we can setup Haystack in 3 steps:

  1. Install haystack and import its required modules
  2. Setup DocumentStore
  3. Setup Retriever, Reader and Finder

1. Install haystack

Let’s install haystack and import all the required modules

from haystack.indexing.utils import convert_files_to_dicts, fetch_archive_from_http
from haystack.reader.farm import FARMReader
from haystack.reader.transformers import TransformersReader
from haystack.utils import print_answers

2. Setting up DocumentStore

Haystack finds answers to queries within the documents stored in a DocumentStore. The current implementations of DocumentStore include ElasticsearchDocumentStore, SQLDocumentStore, and InMemoryDocumentStore.

But they recommend ElasticsearchDocumentStore because as it comes preloaded with features like full-text queries, BM25 retrieval, and vector storage for text embeddings.

So - Let’s set up a ElasticsearchDocumentStore.

! wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-7.6.2-linux-x86_64.tar.gz -q
! tar -xzf elasticsearch-7.6.2-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
! chown -R daemon:daemon elasticsearch-7.6.2
 
import os
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE, STDOUT
es_server = Popen(['elasticsearch-7.6.2/bin/elasticsearch'],
                   stdout=PIPE, stderr=STDOUT,
                   preexec_fn=lambda: os.setuid(1)  # as daemon
                  )
# wait until ES has started
! sleep 30

# initiating ElasticSearch
from haystack.database.elasticsearch import ElasticsearchDocumentStore
document_store = ElasticsearchDocumentStore(host="localhost", username="", password="", index="document")

Once ElasticsearchDocumentStore is setup, we will write our documents/texts to the DocumentStore.

  • Writing documents to ElasticsearchDocumentStore requires a format - List of dictionaries as shown below:
1
2

[
    {"name": "<some-document-name>, "text": "<the-actual-text>"},
    {"name": "<some-document-name>, "text": "<the-actual-text>"}
    {"name": "<some-document-name>, "text": "<the-actual-text>"}
]

(Optionally: you can also add more key-value-pairs here, that will be indexed as fields in Elasticsearch and can be accessed later for filtering or shown in the responses of the Finder)

  • We will use title column to pass as name and full_text column to pass as the text
1
2

# Now, let's write the dicts containing documents to our DB.
document_store.write_documents(data[['title', 'abstract']].rename(columns={'title':'name','full_text':'text'}).to_dict(orient='records'))

3. Setup Retriever, Reader and Finder

Retrievers help narrowing down the scope for the Reader to smaller units of text where a given question could be answered. They use some simple but fast algorithm.

Here: We use Elasticsearch’s default BM25 algorithm

1
2

from haystack.retriever.sparse import ElasticsearchRetriever
retriever = ElasticsearchRetriever(document_store=document_store)

A Reader scans the texts returned by retrievers in detail and extracts the k best answers. They are based on powerful, but slower deep learning models.

Haystack currently supports Readers based on the frameworks FARM and Transformers. With both you can either load a local model or one from Hugging Face's model hub (https://huggingface.co/models).

Here: a medium sized RoBERTa QA model using a Reader based on FARM (https://huggingface.co/deepset/roberta-base-squad2)

reader = FARMReader(model_name_or_path="deepset/roberta-base-squad2", use_gpu=True, context_window_size=500)

Downloading: 100% 190/190 [00:00<00:00, 342B/s]

And finally: The Finder sticks together reader and retriever in a pipeline to fetch answers based on our query.

1

finder = Finder(reader, retriever)

๐Ÿฅณ Voila! We’re Done.

Let’s see, how well our search engine works! - For simplicity, we will keep the number of documents to be retrieved to 2 using top_k_reader parameter. But we can extend to any number in production.

Now, whenever we search or query our DocumentStore, we get 3 responses-

  • we get the answer
  • a 1000 words context around the answer
  • and the name/title of the research paper

Question: What is the impact of coronavirus on babies?

#1

Answer: While babies have been infected, the naivete of the neonatal immune system in relation to the inflammatory response would appear to be protective, with further inflammatory responses achieved with the consumption of human milk.

Research Paper: COVID 19 in babies: Knowledge for neonatal care

Context: ance to minimize the health systems impact of this pandemic across the lifespan.The Covid-19 pandemic has presented neonatal nurses and midwives with challenges when caring for mother and babies. This review has presented what is currently known aboutCovid-19 and neonatal health, and information and research as they are generated will add to a complete picture of the health outcomes. While babies have been infected, the naivete of the neonatal immune system in relation to the inflammatory response would appear to be protective, with further inflammatory responses achieved with the consumption of human milk. The WHO has made clear recommendations about the benefits of breastfeeding, even if the mother and baby dyad is Covid-19 positive, if they remain well. The mother and baby should not be separated, and the mother needs to be able to participate in her baby's care and develop her mothering role. The complexities of not being able to access her usual support people mean that the mother

#2 Answer: neonate are mild, with low-grade fever and gastrointestinal signs such as poor feeding and vomiting. The respiratory symptoms are also limited to mild tachypnoea and/or tachycardia.

Research Paper: COVID 19 in babies: Knowledge for neonatal care

Context: Likewise, if the mother and baby are well, skin-to-skin and breast feeding should be encouraged, as the benefits outweigh any potential harms. If a neonate becomes unwell and requires intensive care, they should be nursed with droplet precautions in a closed incubator in a negative pressure room. The management is dictated by the presenting signs and symptoms. It would appear the presenting symptoms in the neonate are mild, with low-grade fever and gastrointestinal signs such as poor feeding and vomiting. The respiratory symptoms are also limited to mild tachypnoea and/or tachycardia. However, as there has been a presentation of seizure activity with fever a neurological examination should be part of the investigations.As of writing this paper, there has been a preliminary study published in the general media The WHO has also welcomed these preliminary results and state it is "looking forward to a full data analysis" (https://www.who.int/news-room/detail/16-06-2020-who-welcomesprelimin

Question: which organ does coronavirus impact?

#1

Answer: central nervous system

Research Paper: Special considerations in the assessment of catastrophic brain injury and determination of brain death in patients with SARS-CoV-2

Context: ix patients with Covid-19 who developed catastrophic brain injuries. While only 3 of these patients were ultimately declared dead based on neurologic criteria, the other 3 had catastrophic irreversible brain damage prompting us to carefully consider whether they could be declared dead using neurologic criteria.A prerequisite to the determination of brain death is the identification of the proximate cause and irreversibility of injury. The exact mechanism by which Covid-19 affects the central nervous system remains largely unknown, but direct and indirect pathways of injury have been proposed. SARS-CoV-2 enters cells using ACE2 receptors, which are expressed in the brain and may facilitate direct damage to the cardiorespiratory center in the brainstem through trans-synaptic migration of the virus from the respiratory system [6,7]. Indirect damage to the central nervous system may occur from induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the glial cells of the brain and spinal cord, disrupti
