Student builds Japanese PDF RAG demo with source citation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Kohei Matsunobe, a student at ZEN University, developed a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) demo that allows users to upload Japanese PDFs and ask questions. The system provides answers with citations, indicating the specific file and page number the information was drawn from. Matsunobe prioritized citation accuracy by implementing custom Japanese-aware chunking that prevents chunks from spanning across page boundaries and by instructing the Gemini model to only use provided context and state "I don't know" if the answer is not found. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates a method for improving citation accuracy in RAG systems, crucial for applications requiring verifiable information.

RANK_REASON The item describes a demonstration of a RAG system built by a student, focusing on its specific implementation details rather than a novel model release or significant industry trend.
