Architectural retrieval methods embed document lookups directly into a model's architecture, differing from standard RAG which pastes retrieved text into the prompt. This approach aims to reduce attention costs and improve efficiency by having a dedicated mechanism process retrieved content without altering the main sequence length. Examples like kNN-LM and DeepMind's RETRO demonstrate this by interpolating output distributions or using chunked cross-attention, respectively, to integrate external knowledge without increasing computational complexity proportionally.
