Node.js LLM pipeline uses semantic search and reranking for topic classification

This article details a three-stage pipeline for classifying documents into topic labels using LLMs within a Node.js environment. The process involves embedding a business taxonomy or policy document, semantically searching for relevant definitions, reranking these snippets to identify the most pertinent evidence, and finally using an LLM classifier to assign a structured topic label. The author suggests using PostgreSQL with pgvector for the vector store and highlights the benefits of this modular approach for debugging and maintainability, providing a TypeScript example using the Infrai API for embedding, reranking, and chat completion.
