FAQPage Schema
How do I build a retrieval-augmented generation pipeline to ground LLM outputs in external knowledge?

To build a retrieval-augmented generation pipeline, you need a vector database for storing embeddings, an embedding model, and retrieval strategies to index and query document collections, grounding LLM outputs in external knowledge sources to avoid hallucinations.

What is the best way to implement semantic search for a document Q&A system?

The best way to implement semantic search for document Q&A is using dense, sparse, or hybrid retrieval strategies combined with reranking to fetch relevant context from a vector database, ensuring verifiable answers from your enterprise knowledge base.

Do I need a vector database to set up a knowledge-grounded LLM assistant?

Yes, you need a vector database to store embeddings and support the indexing and querying pipelines required for a knowledge-grounded LLM assistant to retrieve relevant information from unstructured and structured data sources.

How does reranking improve retrieval-augmented generation for enterprise knowledge tools?

Reranking improves retrieval-augmented generation by reordering retrieved documents based on relevance, enhancing the accuracy of citations and ensuring the LLM receives the most pertinent context from the external knowledge base.

Can I use retrieval-augmented generation with structured and unstructured data?

Yes, retrieval-augmented generation supports both structured and unstructured data across domains, allowing you to build versatile document Q&A systems and enterprise assistants that ground LLM outputs in diverse external knowledge sources.

Why does my LLM hallucinate when answering questions from my knowledge base?

Your LLM hallucinates because it lacks grounding in external knowledge sources; implementing a retrieval-augmented generation pipeline with vector databases, embeddings, and proper retrieval strategies provides verifiable context to eliminate hallucinations.
