## 📚 API Reference
### Main Functions
#### `vietnamese_embed(texts, model_name, token)`
Generate embeddings for texts.
**Parameters:**
- `texts` (list[str]): List of texts to embed
- `model_name` (str, optional): Model identifier. Default: "AITeamVN/Vietnamese_Embedding"
- `token` (str, optional): HuggingFace token. Reads from env if None
**Returns:**
- `np.ndarray`: Embeddings array, shape (len(texts), 1024)
**Example:**
```python
embeddings = await vietnamese_embed(["Text 1", "Text 2"])
print(embeddings.shape) # (2, 1024)
```
#### `vietnamese_embedding_func(texts)`
Convenience wrapper that reads token from environment.
**Parameters:**
- `texts` (list[str]): List of texts to embed
**Returns:**
- `np.ndarray`: Embeddings array
**Example:**
```python
embeddings = await vietnamese_embedding_func(["Test text"])
```
### Configuration Classes
#### `EmbeddingFunc`
Wrapper for embedding functions in LightRAG.
**Parameters:**
- `embedding_dim` (int): Output dimensions (1024 for Vietnamese_Embedding)
- `max_token_size` (int): Maximum tokens per input (2048 recommended)
- `func` (callable): The embedding function
**Example:**
```python
from lightrag.utils import EmbeddingFunc
from lightrag.llm.vietnamese_embed import vietnamese_embed
embedding_func = EmbeddingFunc(
embedding_dim=1024,
max_token_size=2048,
func=vietnamese_embed
)
```
#### `QueryParam`
Parameters for querying LightRAG.
**Parameters:**
- `mode` (str): Query mode - "naive", "local", "global", "hybrid", "mix"
- `top_k` (int): Number of top results to retrieve
- `stream` (bool): Enable streaming response
**Example:**
```python
from lightrag import QueryParam
param = QueryParam(
mode="hybrid",
top_k=60,
stream=False
)
```

## 🔧 Advanced Topics
### Custom Model Configuration
Use a different HuggingFace model:
```python
embeddings = await vietnamese_embed(
texts=["Sample text"],
model_name="BAAI/bge-m3", # Use base model
token=your_token
)
```
### Device Management
The model automatically uses the best available device:
1. CUDA (if available)
2. MPS (for Apple Silicon)
3. CPU (fallback)
Check which device is being used:
```python
from lightrag.utils import setup_logger
setup_logger("lightrag", level="DEBUG")
# Will log: "Using CUDA device for embedding"
```
### Memory Optimization
For limited memory environments:
```python
# Reduce batch size
embedding_func = EmbeddingFunc(
embedding_dim=1024,
max_token_size=512, # Reduce if texts are short
func=vietnamese_embed
)
# Process documents one at a time
for doc in documents:
await rag.ainsert(doc)
```

## ⚡ Performance Tuning
### Hardware Requirements
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|-----------|---------|-------------|
| RAM | 4 GB | 8 GB |
| GPU Memory | N/A | 4 GB |
| Disk Space | 2 GB | 10 GB |
| CPU | 2 cores | 4+ cores |
### Performance Metrics
**GPU (NVIDIA RTX 3090):**
- Short texts (< 512 tokens): ~1000 texts/second
- Long texts (1024-2048 tokens): ~400 texts/second
**CPU (Intel i7):**
- Short texts: ~50 texts/second
- Long texts: ~20 texts/second
### Optimization Tips
1. **Use GPU:**
```bash
pip install torch --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
```
2. **Batch Processing:**
```python
# Good: Process in batch
await rag.ainsert(multiple_documents)
# Avoid: One by one
for doc in multiple_documents:
await rag.ainsert(doc)
```
3. **Adjust Token Size:**
```python
# If your texts are typically < 512 tokens
embedding_func = EmbeddingFunc(
embedding_dim=1024,
max_token_size=512, # Faster processing
func=vietnamese_embed
)
```
4. **Cache Model:**
Model is cached after first download in `~/.cache/huggingface/`

## 🔍 Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
#### 1. "No HuggingFace token found"
**Symptom:** Error when initializing
**Solution:**
```bash
export HUGGINGFACE_API_KEY="your_token"
```
#### 2. "Model download fails"
**Symptoms:** Timeout, network error
**Solutions:**
- Check internet connection
- Verify HuggingFace token
- Ensure 2GB+ free disk space
- Try again (network might be temporary issue)
#### 3. "Out of memory error"
**Symptoms:** CUDA OOM, system freezes
**Solutions:**
- Use CPU: System will auto-fallback
- Reduce batch size
- Close other GPU applications
- Use smaller max_token_size
#### 4. "Slow performance"
**Symptoms:** Takes minutes for simple queries
**Solutions:**
- Install CUDA-enabled PyTorch
- Verify GPU is being used (check logs)
- Reduce max_token_size if texts are short
- Use batch processing
#### 5. "Import errors"
**Symptoms:** ModuleNotFoundError
**Solutions:**
```bash
pip install -e .
pip install transformers torch numpy
```
### Debug Mode
Enable detailed logging:
```python
from lightrag.utils import setup_logger
setup_logger("lightrag", level="DEBUG")
```
### Getting Help
1. Check documentation
2. Run test suite:
```bash
python tests/test_vietnamese_embedding_integration.py
```
3. Review examples
4. Open GitHub issue with `vietnamese-embedding` tag

## ❓ FAQ
### Q: Does this work with languages other than Vietnamese?
**A:** Yes! The model is based on BGE-M3 which supports 100+ languages. It's optimized for Vietnamese but works well with English, Chinese, and other languages.
### Q: Do I need GPU?
**A:** No, but highly recommended. CPU works but is 10-50x slower.
### Q: How much does it cost?
**A:** The embedding model is free. You only pay for the LLM API (e.g., OpenAI).
### Q: Can I use this offline?
**A:** After the first run (model download), the model is cached locally. You still need LLM API access though.
### Q: What's the difference from BGE-M3?
**A:** Vietnamese_Embedding is fine-tuned specifically for Vietnamese with 300K Vietnamese query-document pairs, providing better Vietnamese retrieval.
### Q: Can I fine-tune this model further?
**A:** Yes, you can fine-tune using HuggingFace transformers. See the model page for details.
### Q: Is my HuggingFace token safe?
**A:** The token is only used to download the model from HuggingFace. It's not sent anywhere else.
### Q: How do I switch back to other embeddings?
**A:** Just use a different embedding function in your configuration. No other changes needed.
