Optimizing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Pipeline: Techniques and Challenges
Advance RAG- Improve RAG performance | by Luv Bansal 🔗
The text provides an in-depth discussion on the retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline, focusing on the challenges encountered and various optimization techniques to improve RAG performance. It delves into the breakdown of the RAG workflow, including pre-retrieval, retrieval, and post-retrieval steps, and discusses optimization techniques for each component. Techniques such as enhancing data granularity, optimizing index structures, and query rewriting are explored in detail. Additionally, the text highlights the importance of re-ranking retrieval results and prompt compression to enhance RAG performance. The article concludes by emphasizing the flexibility to incorporate multiple techniques to build a more accurate and efficient RAG pipeline.
