RAG Deep Dive: WitHub
Introduction
At WitHub, we're constantly exploring and implementing cutting-edge AI technologies to empower businesses with intelligent solutions. One such technology is Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), which has the potential to revolutionize how businesses interact with information and generate insights.
This blog post describes the key components of a robust RAG system, revealing how WitHub simplifies the process and makes this powerful technology accessible to everyone.
What is RAG?
RAG is a hybrid AI approach that combines the strengths of both information retrieval and natural language generation. It allows AI models to generate accurate, contextually relevant responses by leveraging a vast knowledge base of information. Imagine a powerful search engine that not only finds relevant information but also understands it well enough to craft insightful and informative answers. That's the magic of RAG.
Building Blocks of a RAG System:
  • • Data Crawlers & Loaders: The first step involves gathering the relevant data from various sources. This can include internal databases, external websites, documents, and even social media feeds. WitHub's data crawlers and loaders are designed to seamlessly integrate with diverse data sources, ensuring you capture the information you need.
  • • Data Parsing & Preprocessing: Once gathered, the raw data needs to be structured and processed to remove noise and inconsistencies. WitHub employs sophisticated data parsing algorithms to cleanse and prepare the data for subsequent steps.
  • • Chunking & Embedding: To effectively process and retrieve information, the data is divided into manageable chunks. Each chunk is then embedded into a vector representation, capturing its semantic meaning.
  • • Indexing Embeddings & Text: WitHub utilizes high-performance vector databases to efficiently store and index the embeddings alongside the corresponding text. This allows for lightning-fast retrieval based on semantic similarity, not just keyword matching.
  • • Querying & Answer Generation: When a user poses a question, WitHub's RAG system leverages the indexed embeddings to identify relevant chunks of information. The most relevant data is then used by a language model to generate a coherent and informative answer.
  • • Citing Sources: Transparency and trust are paramount. WitHub's RAG system automatically cites the source of information used to generate the answer, providing users with the ability to verify the information and delve deeper.
  • • LLM Context window (Chat Memory) Management: For sustained conversations, maintaining context is crucial. WitHub's RAG system includes sophisticated chat memory management capabilities, allowing for more natural and flowing interactions with your AI applications.
