Unstructured

Unstructured is a library designed to help preprocess, structure unstructured text documents for downstream machine learning tasks.

Qdrant can be used as an ingestion destination in Unstructured.

Setup

Install Unstructured with the qdrant extra.

pip install "unstructured[qdrant]"

Usage

Depending on the use case you can prefer the command line or using it within your application.

CLI

EMBEDDING_PROVIDER=${EMBEDDING_PROVIDER:-"langchain-huggingface"}

  local \
  --input-path example-docs/book-war-and-peace-1225p.txt \
  --output-dir local-output-to-qdrant \
  --strategy fast \
  --chunk-elements \
  --embedding-provider "$EMBEDDING_PROVIDER" \
  --num-processes 2 \
  --verbose \
  qdrant \
  --collection-name "test" \
  --url "http://localhost:6333" \
  --batch-size 80
