 ## Overview
 LLM-IE is a toolkit that provides robust information extraction utilities for named entity, entity attributes, and entity relation extraction. Since prompt design has a significant impact on generative information extraction with LLMs, it has a built-in LLM agent ("editor") to help with prompt writing. The flowchart below demonstrates the workflow starting from a casual language request to output visualization.

 ### Extractor
 An extractor implements a prompting method for information extraction. There are two extractor families: ```FrameExtractor``` and ```RelationExtractor```. 
-The ```FrameExtractor``` extracts named entities and entity attributes ("frame"). The ```RelationExtractor``` extracts the relation (and relation types) between frames. 
+The ```FrameExtractor``` extracts named entities with attributes ("frames"). The ```RelationExtractor``` extracts the relations (and relation types) between frames.
 
 #### FrameExtractor
-The ```BasicFrameExtractor``` directly prompts LLM to generate a list of dictionaries. Each dictionary is then post-processed into a frame. The ```ReviewFrameExtractor``` is based on the ```BasicFrameExtractor``` but adds a review step after the initial extraction to boost sensitivity and improve performance. ```SentenceFrameExtractor``` gives LLM the entire document upfront as a reference, then prompts LLM sentence by sentence and collects per-sentence outputs. To learn about an extractor, use the class method ```get_prompt_guide()``` to print out the prompt guide.

The ```SentenceCoTFrameExtractor``` implements chain of thoughts (CoT). It first analyzes a sentence, then extract frames based on the CoT. To learn about an extractor, use the class method ```get_prompt_guide()``` to print out the prompt guide. 
+
+Since the output entity text from LLMs might not be consistent with the original text due to the limitations of LLMs, we apply fuzzy search in post-processing to find the accurate entity span. In the `FrameExtractor.extract_frames()` method, setting parameter `fuzzy_match=True` applies Jaccard similarity matching.

 The ```SentenceFrameExtractor``` instructs the LLM to extract sentence by sentence. The reason is to ensure the accuracy of frame spans. It also prevents LLMs from overseeing sections/ sentences. Empirically, this extractor results in better recall than the ```BasicFrameExtractor``` in complex tasks. 
 
+For concurrent extraction (recommended), the `async/ await` feature is used to speed up inferencing. The `concurrent_batch_size` sets the batch size of sentences to be processed in cocurrent.
+
+```python
+from llm_ie.extractors import SentenceFrameExtractor
+
+extractor = SentenceFrameExtractor(inference_engine, prompt_temp)
+frames = extractor.extract_frames(text_content=text, entity_key="Diagnosis", case_sensitive=False, fuzzy_match=True, concurrent=True, concurrent_batch_size=32)
+```
+
 The ```multi_turn``` parameter specifies multi-turn conversation for prompting. If True, sentences and LLM outputs will be appended to the input message and carry-over. If False, only the current sentence is prompted. For LLM inference engines that supports prompt cache (e.g., Llama.Cpp, Ollama), use multi-turn conversation prompting can better utilize the KV caching and results in faster inferencing. But for vLLM with [Automatic Prefix Caching (APC)](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/automatic_prefix_caching/apc.html), multi-turn conversation is not necessary.

+### Visualization
+The `LLMInformationExtractionDocument` class supports named entity, entity attributes, and relation visualization. The implementation is through our plug-in package [ie-viz](https://github.com/daviden1013/ie-viz). Check the example Jupyter Notebook [NER + RE for Drug, Strength, Frequency](demo/medication_relation_extraction.ipynb) for a working demo.
+
+```cmd
+pip install ie-viz
+```
+
+The `viz_serve()` method starts a Flask App on localhost port 5000 by default. 
+```python
+from llm_ie.data_types import LLMInformationExtractionDocument
+
+# Define document
+doc = LLMInformationExtractionDocument(doc_id="Medical note",
+                                       text=note_text)
+# Add extracted frames and relations to document
+doc.add_frames(frames)
+doc.add_relations(relations)
+# Visualize the document
+doc.viz_serve()
+```
+
+Alternatively, the `viz_render()` method returns a self-contained (HTML + JS + CSS) string. Save it to file and open with a browser.
+```python
+html = doc.viz_render()
+
+with open("Medical note.html", "w") as f:
+    f.write(html)
+```
+
+To customize colors for different entities, use `color_attr_key` (simple) or `color_map_func` (advanced). 
+
+The `color_attr_key` automatically assign colors based on the specified attribute key. For example, "EntityType".
+```python
+doc.viz_serve(color_attr_key="EntityType")
+```
+
+The `color_map_func` allow users to define a custom entity-color mapping function. For example,
+```python
+def color_map_func(entity) -> str:
+    if entity['attr']['<attribute key>'] == "<a certain value>":
+        return "#7f7f7f"
+    else:
+        return "#03A9F4"
+
+doc.viz_serve(color_map_func=color_map_func)
+```
