Text Generation with Text and Image as the Input
txt.image

R Package "GenAI" Documentation

CRAN Open in GitHub Open In Colab

Last update: 2024/02/15


Usage

txt.image(genai.object, prompt, image.path, verbose = FALSE, config = list())

Arguments

  • genai.object: A generative AI object containing necessary and correct information.
  • prompt: A character string representing the query for text generation.
  • image.path: A character string representing the path to the image. It should be a link starting with https/http or a local directory path to an image.
  • verbose: Optional. Default to FALSE. A boolean value determining whether or not to print out the details of the text request.
  • config: Optional. Default to list(). A list of configuration parameters for text generation.

Value

If successful, a text response will be returned. If the API response indicates an error, the function halts execution and provides an error message.


Description

This function establishes a connection to a generative AI model through a generative AI object. It generates a text response based on the provided prompt.


Details

Providing accurate and valid information for each argument is crucial for successful text generation by the generative AI model. If any parameter is incorrect, the function responds with an error message based on the API feedback. To view all supported generative AI models, use the function available.models.

For Google Generative AI models, available configurations are as follows. For more detail, please refer to https://ai.google.dev/api/rest/v1/HarmCategory, https://ai.google.dev/api/rest/v1/SafetySetting, and https://ai.google.dev/api/rest/v1/GenerationConfig.

  • harm.category.dangerous.content
    Optional. An integer, from 1 to 5 inclusive, representing the threshold for dangerous content, with a higher value representing a lower probability of being blocked.
  • harm.category.harassment
    Optional. An integer, from 1 to 5 inclusive, representing the threshold for harassment content, with a higher value representing a lower probability of being blocked.
  • harm.category.hate.speech
    Optional. An integer, from 1 to 5 inclusive, representing the threshold for hate speech and content, with a higher value representing a lower probability of being blocked.
  • harm.category.sexually.explicit
    Optional. An integer, from 1 to 5 inclusive, representing the threshold for sexually explicit content, with a higher value representing a lower probability of being blocked.
  • stop.sequences
    Optional. A list of character sequences (up to 5) that will stop output generation. If specified, the API will stop at the first appearance of a stop sequence. The stop sequence will not be included as part of the response.
  • max.output.tokens
    Optional. An integer, value varies by model, representing maximum number of tokens to include in a candidate.
  • temperature
    Optional. A number, from 0.0 to 1.0 inclusive, controlling the randomness of the output.
  • top.p
    Optional. A number, value varies by model, representing maximum cumulative probability of tokens to consider when sampling.
  • top.k
    Optional. A number, value varies by model, representing maximum number of tokens to consider when sampling.

For OpenAI models, available configurations are as follows. For more detail, please refer to https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat/create.

  • frequency.penalty
    Optional. A number from -2.0 to 2.0 inclusive. Positive values penalize new tokens based on their existing frequency in the text so far, decreasing the model's likelihood to repeat the same line verbatim.
  • logit.bias
    Optional. A map. Modify the likelihood of specified tokens appearing in the completion. Accepts a JSON object that maps tokens (specified by their token ID in the tokenizer) to an associated bias value from -100 to 100. Mathematically, the bias is added to the logits generated by the model prior to sampling. The exact effect will vary per model, but values between -1 and 1 should decrease or increase likelihood of selection; values like -100 or 100 should result in a ban or exclusive selection of the relevant token.
  • logprobs
    Optional. A boolean value. Whether to return log probabilities of the output tokens or not. If true, returns the log probabilities of each output token returned in the content of message
  • top.logprobs
    Optional. An integer between 0 and 5 specifying the number of most likely tokens to return at each token position, each with an associated log probability. logprobs must be set to TRUE if this parameter is used.
  • max.tokens
    Optional. An integer. The maximum number of tokens that can be generated in the chat completion. The total length of input tokens and generated tokens is limited by the model's context length.
  • presence.penalty
    Optional. A Number between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalize new tokens based on whether they appear in the text so far, increasing the model's likelihood to talk about new topics.
  • response.format
    Optional. An object specifying the format that the model must output. Compatible with GPT-4 Turbo and all GPT-3.5 Turbo models newer than gpt-3.5-turbo-1106.
  • seed
    Optional. An integer. If specified, our system will make a best effort to sample deterministically, such that repeated requests with the same seed and parameters should return the same result.
  • stop
    Optional. A character string or list contains up to 4 sequences where the API will stop generating further tokens.
  • temperature
    Optional. A number. What sampling temperature to use, between 0 and 2. Higher values like 0.8 will make the output more random, while lower values like 0.2 will make it more focused and deterministic.
  • top.p
    Optional. A number. An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model considers the results of the tokens with top.p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.
  • tools
    Optional. A list of tools the model may call. Currently, only functions are supported as a tool. Use this to provide a list of functions the model may generate JSON inputs for.
  • tool.choice
    Optional. A character string or object. Controls which (if any) function is called by the model. none means the model will not call a function and instead generates a message. auto means the model can pick between generating a message or calling a function.
  • user
    Optional. A character string. A unique identifier representing your end-user, which can help OpenAI to monitor and detect abuse.

Examples

Open In Colab
# Method 1 (recommended): use the pipe operator "%>%"
genai.model %>%
  txt.image(prompt = "Please describe the following image.",
            image.path = "https://example.com/example.png") %>%
  cat()

# Method 2: use the reference operator "$"
cat(genai.model$txt.image(prompt = "Please describe the following image.",
                          image.path = "https://example.com/example.png"))

# Method 3: use the function txt.image() directly
cat(txt.image(genai.object = genai.model,
              prompt = "Please describe the following image.",
              image.path = "example.png"))
