Apply black formatting (#2115)
* Testing black on ui/

* Applying black on docstores

* Add latest docstring and tutorial changes

* Create a single GH action for Black and docs to reduce commit noise to the minimum, slightly refactor the OpenAPI action too

* Remove comments

* Relax constraints on pydoc-markdown

* Split temporary black from the docs. Pydoc-markdown was obsolete and needs a separate PR to upgrade

* Fix a couple of bugs

* Add a type: ignore that was missing somehow

* Give path to black

* Apply Black

* Apply Black

* Relocate a couple of type: ignore

* Update documentation

* Make Linux CI run after applying Black

* Triggering Black

* Apply Black

* Remove dependency, does not work well

* Remove manually double trailing commas

* Update documentation

## "FAQ-Style QA": Utilizing existing FAQs for Question Answering
# While *extractive Question Answering* works on pure texts and is therefore more generalizable, there's also a common alternative that utilizes existing FAQ data.
#
# Pros:
# - Very fast at inference time
# - Utilize existing FAQ data
# - Quite good control over answers
#
# Cons:
# - Generalizability: We can only answer questions that are similar to existing ones in FAQ
#
# In some use cases, a combination of extractive QA and FAQ-style can also be an interesting option.

### Init the DocumentStore
# In contrast to Tutorial 1 (extractive QA), we:
#
# * specify the name of our `text_field` in Elasticsearch that we want to return as an answer
# * specify the name of our `embedding_field` in Elasticsearch where we'll store the embedding of our question and that is used later for calculating our similarity to the incoming user question
# * set `excluded_meta_data=["question_emb"]` so that we don't return the huge embedding vectors in our search results
document_store = ElasticsearchDocumentStore(
host="localhost",
username="",
password="",
index="document",
embedding_field="question_emb",
embedding_dim=384,
excluded_meta_data=["question_emb"],
similarity="cosine",
)
### Create a Retriever using embeddings
# Instead of retrieving via Elasticsearch's plain BM25, we want to use vector similarity of the questions (user question vs. FAQ ones).
# We can use the `EmbeddingRetriever` for this purpose and specify a model that we use for the embeddings.
#
retriever = EmbeddingRetriever(
document_store=document_store, embedding_model="sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2", use_gpu=True
)
# Download a csv containing some FAQ data
# Here: Some question-answer pairs related to COVID-19
temp = requests.get("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/deepset-ai/COVID-QA/master/data/faqs/faq_covidbert.csv")
open("small_faq_covid.csv", "wb").write(temp.content)
# Get dataframe with columns "question", "answer" and some custom metadata
df = pd.read_csv("small_faq_covid.csv")
# Minimal cleaning
df.fillna(value="", inplace=True)
df["question"] = df["question"].apply(lambda x: x.strip())
print(df.head())
# Get embeddings for our questions from the FAQs
questions = list(df["question"].values)
df["question_emb"] = retriever.embed_queries(texts=questions)
df = df.rename(columns={"question": "content"})
# Convert Dataframe to list of dicts and index them in our DocumentStore
docs_to_index = df.to_dict(orient="records")
document_store.write_documents(docs_to_index)
# Initialize a Pipeline (this time without a reader) and ask questions
from haystack.pipelines import FAQPipeline
pipe = FAQPipeline(retriever=retriever)
prediction = pipe.run(query="How is the virus spreading?", params={"Retriever": {"top_k": 10}})
print_answers(prediction, details="medium")
