FAQPage Schema
How do I build a knowledge-grounded question-answering system using RAG?

To build a knowledge-grounded question-answering system using RAG, you need to integrate a vector database with embedding models to retrieve relevant external documents. You then apply retrieval and reranking strategies to generate accurate, cited answers from your proprietary knowledge base.

What is retrieval-augmented generation used for?

Retrieval-augmented generation is used for grounding large language models with external knowledge. It enables accurate, cited responses for proprietary document Q&A, domain-specific documentation integration, and accessing knowledge bases with current information.

Do I need a vector store and embedding models to implement retrieval-augmented generation?

Yes, implementing retrieval-augmented generation requires a vector store and embedding models. These components handle scalable document retrieval, while flexible retrieval strategies and reranking are applied to improve the relevance of the generated answers.

How do I improve retrieval relevance for domain-specific documentation?

You improve retrieval relevance for domain-specific documentation by applying flexible retrieval strategies and reranking mechanisms. These techniques refine the documents fetched from the vector store before grounding the language model's prompt design.

Can I use retrieval-augmented generation for proprietary document Q&A?

Yes, you can use retrieval-augmented generation for proprietary document Q&A. It builds end-to-end pipelines that fetch relevant information from external knowledge sources to provide accurate, cited answers tailored to your domain.

What is the best way to evaluate a RAG pipeline for grounded answers?

The best way to evaluate a RAG pipeline for grounded answers is to use the documentation provided for evaluation and prompt design. This ensures the retrieved documents from the vector store accurately support the generated responses.
