RAG Pipeline

Trends & Concepts

Process: Index → Retrieval → Generation.


Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) combines information retrieval with text generation.

  • Steps: Vectorize documents → retrieve relevant chunks → provide as context → generate an answer.
  • Strengths: Factual grounding, up-to-date knowledge, reduced hallucination.
  • Best practices: Index hygiene, chunking, citation strategy, recall/precision evaluation.
