Noema – A Declarative AI Programming Library

[AlbanPerli]

Hi everyone! I'm excited to share my contribution to the local LLM ecosystem: Noema-Declarative-AI.

Noema is a Python library designed to seamlessly intertwine Python code and LLM generations in a declarative and intuitive way.

It's built around the ReAct prompting approach, which structures reasoning in the following steps:

Question: Define the user input or query.
Reflection: Think critically about the question.
Observation: Provide observations based on the reflection.
Analysis: Formulate an analysis based on observations and reflection.
Conclusion: Summarize and synthesize the reasoning process.

Here’s an example:

from Noema import *

class WayOfThinking(Noesis):
    def description(self):
        """
        You are a nice assistant.
        """
        found = False
        hello: Word = "Say 'hello' in French"
        while not found:
            nb_letter: Int = f"How many letters are in '{hello.value}'?"
            verification: Bool = f"Does '{hello.value}' really contain {nb_letter.value} letters?"
            if verification.value:
                print("Verification done!")
                found = True

        return hello.value, nb_letter.value

# Instantiate the class
wot = WayOfThinking()

# Generate reflexions with a subject
reflexions = wot.constitute(subject, verbose=True)
print(reflexions)

Key Features:

• Programmable prompting: Simplify the process of designing and executing prompts programmatically.
• Declarative paradigm: Focus on describing what you want to achieve, and let the framework handle the how.
• ReAct-inspired reasoning: Promote systematic thinking through a structured reasoning process.

This project is fully open source and still in its early stages (not yet production-ready).

I'm eager to hear your thoughts, feedback, and critiques!

Whether you want to challenge the concept, propose potential use cases, or simply discuss the approach, I’d love to engage with anyone interested.

Looking forward to your input! :)
