Model Information

We release the HTML pruner model used in HtmlRAG: HTML is Better Than Plain Text for Modeling Retrieval Results in RAG Systems.

Useful links: 📝 Paper • 🤗 Hugging Face • 🧩 Github

We propose HtmlRAG, which uses HTML instead of plain text as the format of external knowledge in RAG systems. To tackle the long context brought by HTML, we propose Lossless HTML Cleaning and Two-Step Block-Tree-Based HTML Pruning.

Lossless HTML Cleaning: This cleaning process just removes totally irrelevant contents and compress redundant structures, retaining all semantic information in the original HTML. The compressed HTML of lossless HTML cleaning is suitable for RAG systems that have long-context LLMs and are not willing to loss any information before generation.
Two-Step Block-Tree-Based HTML Pruning: The block-tree-based HTML pruning consists of two steps, both of which are conducted on the block tree structure. The first pruning step uses a embedding model to calculate scores for blocks, while the second step uses a path generative model. The first step processes the result of lossless HTML cleaning, while the second step processes the result of the first pruning step.

🌹 If you use this model, please ✨star our GitHub repository to support us. Your star means a lot!

📦 Installation

Install the package using pip:

pip install htmlrag

Or install the package from source:

pip install -e .

🧹 HTML Cleaning

from htmlrag import clean_html

question = "When was the bellagio in las vegas built?"
html = """
<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("Hello World!");
</script>

🌲 Build Block Tree

from htmlrag import build_block_tree

block_tree, simplified_html = build_block_tree(simplified_html, max_node_words=10)
for block in block_tree:
    print("Block Content: ", block[0])
    print("Block Path: ", block[1])
    print("Is Leaf: ", block[2])
    print("")

# Block Path:  ['html', 'title']
# Is Leaf:  True
# 
# Block Content:  <div>
# <p>Some other text</p>
# <p>Some other text</p>
# </div>
# Block Path:  ['html', 'div']
# Is Leaf:  True

# Block Content:  <p>The Bellagio is a luxury hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. It was built in 1998.</p>
# Block Path:  ['html', 'p']

✂️ Prune HTML Blocks with Embedding Model

from htmlrag import EmbedHTMLPruner

embed_html_pruner = EmbedHTMLPruner(embed_model="bm25")
block_rankings = embed_html_pruner.calculate_block_rankings(question, simplified_html, block_tree)
print(block_rankings)

# [0, 2, 1]

from transformers import AutoTokenizer

chat_tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct")

max_context_window = 60
pruned_html = embed_html_pruner.prune_HTML(simplified_html, block_tree, block_rankings, chat_tokenizer, max_context_window)
print(pruned_html)

# <p>The Bellagio is a luxury hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. It was built in 1998.</p>

✂️ Prune HTML Blocks with Generative Model

from htmlrag import GenHTMLPruner

    device="cuda"
else:
    device="cpu"

max_context_window = 32
pruned_html = gen_embed_pruner.prune_HTML(pruned_html, block_tree, block_rankings, chat_tokenizer, max_context_window)
print(pruned_html)
