Langchain 的 Conversation buffer window memory
ConversationBufferWindowMemory holds a list of conversation interactions over time. It only uses the last K interactions. This is useful for keeping a sliding window of recent interactions, so the buffer doesn't grow too large.
Let's first explore the basic functionality of this memory.
sample code,
from langchain.memory import ConversationBufferWindowMemory
memory = ConversationBufferWindowMemory( k=1)
memory.save_context({"input": "hi"}, {"output": "whats up"})
memory.save_context({"input": "not much you"}, {"output": "not much"})
memory.load_memory_variables({})
output result,
{'history': 'Human: not much you\nAI: not much'}
We can also get the history as a list of messages (very useful if you use it with the chat model).
sample code,
memory = ConversationBufferWindowMemory( k=1, return_messages=True)
memory.save_context({"input": "hi"}, {"output": "whats up"})
memory.save_context({"input": "not much you"}, {"output": "not much"})
memory.load_memory_variables({})
output result,
{'history': [HumanMessage(content='not much you', additional_kwargs={}),
AIMessage(content='not much', additional_kwargs={})]}
Using in a chain
Let's look at an example, again setting verbose=True so we can see the prompt.
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
from langchain.chains import ConversationChain
conversation_with_summary = ConversationChain(
llm=OpenAI(temperature=0),
# We set a low k=2, to only keep the last 2 interactions in memory
memory=ConversationBufferWindowMemory(k=2),
verbose=True
)
conversation_with_summary.predict(input="Hi, what's up?")
output result,
> Entering new ConversationChain chain...
Prompt after formatting:
The following is a friendly conversation between a human and an AI. The AI is talkative and provides lots of specific details from its context. If the AI does not know the answer to a question, it truthfully says it does not know.
Current conversation:
Human: Hi, what's up?
AI:
> Finished chain.
" Hi there! I'm doing great. I'm currently helping a customer with a technical issue. How about you?"
sample code,
conversation_with_summary.predict(input="What's their issues?")
output result,
> Entering new ConversationChain chain...

" Yes, it's going well so far. We've already identified the problem and are now working on a solution."
sample code,
# Notice here that the first interaction does not appear.
conversation_with_summary.predict(input="What's the solution?")

" The solution is to reset the router and reconfigure the settings. We're currently in the process of doing that."
end!
