Mappings

The mappings object is a parameter (mappings) for an add_documents call. Mappings can be used for granular control over a field. Currently, it is only supported for the multimodal_combination field.

Mappings object

Defining the mapping for multimodal_combination fields:

my_mapping = {
    "my_combination_field": {
        "type": "multimodal_combination",
        "weights": {
            "my_image": 0.5,
            "some_text": 0.5
    },
    "my_2nd_combination_field": {
        "type": "multimodal_combination",
        "weights": {
            "Title": -2.5,
            "Description": 0.3
    }
}

Adding multimodal documents using that mapping object:

import marqo

mq = marqo.Client(url="http://localhost:8882")
settings = {"treat_urls_and_pointers_as_images": True, "model": "ViT-L/14"}
mq.create_index("my-first-multimodal-index", **settings)

# Add 1 sample document
mq.index("my-first-multimodal-index").add_documents(
    [
        {
            "Title": "A document with multiple multimodal fields",
            "my_combination_field": {
                "my_image": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marqo-ai/marqo/mainline/examples/ImageSearchGuide/data/image2.jpg",
                "some_text": "An image of a passenger plane flying in front of the moon.",
            },
            "my_2nd_combination_field": {
                "Title": "Superhero Movie 5",
                "Description": "Good guy beats bad guy for the 5th time!"
            }
        }
    ],
    mappings=my_mapping
)
