Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a hybrid AI framework that combines information retrieval with generative text generation to produce accurate and informed responses. It consists of two main components: a retriever that fetches relevant data from external sources and a generator that synthesizes this information with its pre-trained knowledge. RAG enhances response accuracy, reduces misinformation, and is adaptable to specialized domains while improving information retrieval efficiency.

Mastering RAG
How does RAG work?
Introduction
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a hybrid
AI framework that enhances the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) by integrating information retrieval with generative text generation. This approach enables models to generate more accurate, informed, and up-to- date responses by fetching relevant external data during inference. Component of RAGs
There are basically two component in RAG:
Retriever
Responsible for fetching relevant documents or
data from an external knowledge base. Typically uses vector search, BM25, or dense passage retrieval (DPR) to find the most relevant information. The retrieval system can leverage structured (databases, APIs) and unstructured (documents, PDFs, web pages) sources. 2
Generator
A language model (LLM) that takes both the query
and retrieved context as input.
Generates responses by synthesizing retrieved
information and leveraging its pre-trained knowledge.
Uses transformer-based architectures like GPT,
BERT, or T5 for coherent text generation. Working of a RAG
User Query Input
The user inputs a question or query.
Retrieval Process
The retriever searches for relevant documents or
snippets from an external knowledge base (e.g., vector database, indexed documents, or online sources).
Ranking and Filtering
Retrieved documents are ranked based on relevance
scores.
Irrelevant or redundant information is filtered out.
Fusion with LLM Context
The retrieved data is fed into the language model
along with the original user query. Text Generation
The model generates a response using both retrieved
knowledge and its internal pre-trained information.
Response Delivery
The final output is presented to the user with an
informed and contextually rich response.
Advantages of RAG Improves Accuracy: Enhances responses by incorporating external, updated knowledge.
Reduces Hallucination: Mitigates misinformation by
grounding answers in real-world data.
Domain-Specific Adaptability: Works well for
specialized knowledge areas like healthcare, legal, and finance.
Efficient Information Retrieval: Speeds up knowledge
access without requiring extensive fine-tuning of the LLM.
