SequentialChain
在调用语言模型之后，下一步是对语言模型进行一系列的调用。若可以将一个调用的输出作为另一个调用的输入时则特别有用。在本节中，我们将介绍如何使用顺序链来实现这一点。顺序链被定义为一系列按确定顺序调用的链条。有两种类型的顺序链：
SimpleSequentialChain：最简单的顺序链形式，每个步骤具有单一的输入和输出，一个步骤的输出作为下一个步骤的输入。SequentialChain：更一般的顺序链形式，允许多个输入和输出。
SimpleSequentialChain
在这个SimpleSequentialChain中，每个单独的链都有一个单一的输入和输出，一个步骤的输出被用作下一个步骤的输入。我们通过一个玩具例子来演示这个过程，其中第一个链接受一个虚构的剧本标题，然后生成该标题的简介，第二个链条接受该剧本的简介并生成一个虚构的评论。

并非所有的顺序链都像将一个字符串作为参数传递并在链条的所有步骤中得到一个字符串输出那样简单。在下面的例子中，我们将尝试更复杂的链条，涉及多个输入，同时也有多个最终输出。重要的是如何命名输入和输出变量名。在上面的例子中，我们不需要考虑这个问题，因为我们只是将一个链条的输出直接作为下一个链条的输入传递，但是在这里我们需要关注这个问题，因为我们有多个输入。

He follows them to the beach and, in a fit of rage, confronts them. \n\nA physical altercation ensues, and in the struggle, John's father accidentally stabs Mary in the chest with his sword. The two are left in shock and disbelief as Mary dies in John's arms, her last words being a declaration of her love for him.\n\nThe tragedy of the play comes to a head when John, broken and with no hope of a future, chooses to take his own life by jumping off the cliffs into the sea below. \n\nThe play is a powerful story of love, hope, and loss set against the backdrop of 19th century England.",
'review': "\n\nThe latest production from playwright X is a powerful and heartbreaking story of love and loss set against the backdrop of 19th century England. The play follows John, a young man from a wealthy Victorian family, and Mary, a beautiful young woman with whom he falls in love. The two decide to elope and start a new life together, and the audience is taken on a journey of hope and optimism for the future.\n\nUnfortunately, their dreams are cut short when John's father discovers them and in a fit of rage, fatally stabs Mary. The tragedy of the play is further compounded when John, broken and without hope, takes his own life. The storyline is not only realistic, but also emotionally compelling, drawing the audience in from start to finish.\n\nThe acting was also commendable, with the actors delivering believable and nuanced performances. The playwright and director have successfully crafted a timeless tale of love and loss that will resonate with audiences for years to come. Highly recommended."}SequentialChain中的记忆
有时候，我们可能希望在链的每个步骤中或链条的后续部分中传递一些上下文信息，但是保持和链接输入或输出变量可能会变得混乱。使用SimpleMemory是一种方便的方式来管理这些上下文信息并简化我们的链条。
例如，使用之前的剧本顺序链，假设我们想在每个步骤中包含一些关于剧本的日期、时间和地点的上下文信息，并使用生成的简介和评论创建一些社交媒体发布的文本。你可以将这些新的上下文变量添加为input_variables，或者我们可以在链条中添加一个SimpleMemory来管理这个上下文信息：

本节展示了如何使用TransformationChain。我们将创建一个虚拟的TransformationChain示例。它接受一个非常长的文本，将文本过滤为只包含前三个段落的内容，然后将其传递给一个LLMChain来对其进行摘要。
