Extract abstracts from Pubmed articles, even if they have no extra label (#10245)
### Description
This pull request involves modifications to the extraction method for
abstracts/summaries within the PubMed utility. A condition has been
added to verify the presence of unlabeled abstracts. Now an abstract
will be extracted even if it does not have a subtitle. In addition, the
extraction of the abstract was extended to books.

### Issue
The PubMed utility occasionally returns an empty result when extracting
abstracts from articles, despite the presence of an abstract for the
paper on PubMed. This issue arises due to the varying structure of
articles; some articles follow a "subtitle/label: text" format, while
others do not include subtitles in their abstracts. An example of the
latter case can be found at:

🚨Breaking Changes for select chains (SQLDatabase) on 7/28/23

In an effort to make langchain leaner and safer, we are moving select chains to langchain_experimental. This migration has already started, but we are remaining backwards compatible until 7/28. On that date, we will remove functionality from langchain. Read more about the motivation and the progress here. Read how to migrate your code here.

Quick Install

pip install langchain or pip install langsmith && conda install langchain -c conda-forge

🤔 What is this?

Large language models (LLMs) are emerging as a transformative technology, enabling developers to build applications that they previously could not. However, using these LLMs in isolation is often insufficient for creating a truly powerful app - the real power comes when you can combine them with other sources of computation or knowledge.

This library aims to assist in the development of those types of applications. Common examples of these applications include:

Question Answering over specific documents

💬 Chatbots

🤖 Agents

📖 Documentation

Please see here for full documentation on:

  • Getting started (installation, setting up the environment, simple examples)
  • How-To examples (demos, integrations, helper functions)
  • Reference (full API docs)
  • Resources (high-level explanation of core concepts)

🚀 What can this help with?

There are six main areas that LangChain is designed to help with. These are, in increasing order of complexity:

📃 LLMs and Prompts:

This includes prompt management, prompt optimization, a generic interface for all LLMs, and common utilities for working with LLMs.

🔗 Chains:

Chains go beyond a single LLM call and involve sequences of calls (whether to an LLM or a different utility). LangChain provides a standard interface for chains, lots of integrations with other tools, and end-to-end chains for common applications.

📚 Data Augmented Generation:

Data Augmented Generation involves specific types of chains that first interact with an external data source to fetch data for use in the generation step. Examples include summarization of long pieces of text and question/answering over specific data sources.

🤖 Agents:

Agents involve an LLM making decisions about which Actions to take, taking that Action, seeing an Observation, and repeating that until done. LangChain provides a standard interface for agents, a selection of agents to choose from, and examples of end-to-end agents.

🧠 Memory:

Memory refers to persisting state between calls of a chain/agent. LangChain provides a standard interface for memory, a collection of memory implementations, and examples of chains/agents that use memory.

🧐 Evaluation:

[BETA] Generative models are notoriously hard to evaluate with traditional metrics. One new way of evaluating them is using language models themselves to do the evaluation. LangChain provides some prompts/chains for assisting in this.
