As the adoption of Generative AI models like GPT-4, Llama 3 and Gemini increases, so does the increased scrutiny over the credibility of their responses. Large language models (LLMs), while impressive in their ability to generate highly coherent answers, are only as smart as the data used to train them. When questions fall outside their training sets, LLMs tend to regurgitate random facts or inaccurate information, otherwise known as “hallucination.”

We can use Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to address the limitations of large language models – incorporating real-time, reliable information grounded in the latest internal data. RAG integrates your organization’s vast knowledge base—documents, databases, or any other relevant data source—with the LLM, enabling your AI applications to scour through specific data sets outside of its training domain.

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is a technique that enhances the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) by combining them with external information retrieval systems. This allows LLMs to access a wider range of information beyond their initial training data, resulting in more accurate, reliable, and contextually relevant responses.

RAG retrieves relevant documents or sections from a large database using retrieval systems based on dense vector representations. These mechanisms enable efficient storage and retrieval of information from a vector database. For a private LLM, incorporating domain-specific knowledge is crucial in enhancing the retrieval accuracy of RAG, especially in adapting it to a variety of tasks and answering highly specific questions in an ever-changing context, distinguishing between open-domain and closed-domain settings for added security and reliability.

RAG begins with the identification phase where user prompts trigger data extraction from a designated knowledge base or any relevant external data sources. The retriever mechanism acts as a filter, meticulously selecting the most suitable information to accurately address a user’s query.
RAG begins with the identification phase where user prompts trigger data extraction from a designated knowledge base or any relevant external data sources. The retriever mechanism acts as a filter, meticulously selecting the most suitable information to accurately address a user’s query.
To ensure accuracy, the RAG’s retriever is constantly refined. This involves breaking down information into bite-sized chunks, fine-tuning embedding models to better capture meaning, and aligning queries with documents. This meticulous approach ensures the retriever pinpoints precisely the right information to address the query, like a seasoned researcher finding the perfect reference in a vast library.

Under the hood, enterprise search or information retrieval is a complex and thorough process. Here’s a simplified overview of how it works.
Vector Storage & Indexing
These vectors are stored in a vector database, which serves as a knowledge base for the RAG system. The vector database is indexed to enable efficient retrieval of relevant information.
Data Collection & Embedding
The process starts by gathering relevant data from various sources, including web pages. An embedding model then transforms this data into numerical vectors, capturing its semantic essence.
Retrieval of Relevant Information
The vectorized query is then used to search the vector database, identifying similar vectors that represent relevant information in the knowledge base.
Query Processing
When a user submits a query, the RAG system converts it into a vector representation using the same embedding model used for the knowledge base.
Response Generation
The augmented prompt is fed into a large language model (LLM), which generates a personalized response incorporating the retrieved information.
Prompt Augmentation
The retrieved information is integrated with the original query, creating a more comprehensive prompt that includes relevant context.

Natural Language Processing (NLP)
NLP enables RAG to understand the nuances of human language, accurately interpreting queries and extracting relevant information from documents. This ensures that the retrieved information is truly aligned with the user’s intent.
Large Language Models (LLMs)
LLMs like GPT-4 and Llama 3 serve as the core of RAG, providing the ability to understand complex language, synthesize information, and generate human-like text. They can even go beyond answering questions, generating summaries, reports, and other forms of content.
Machine Learning (ML)
ML algorithms play a crucial role in both the retrieval and generation phases. They refine the retrieval process by learning from user feedback and behavior, ensuring that the most relevant documents are retrieved. In the generation phase, ML helps the LLM generate more accurate and contextually appropriate responses.
