AI engineer reveals systematic approach to fixing generative AI response issues

An AI engineer's response to a common interview question details a systematic approach to diagnosing and resolving issues in generative AI applications. The process involves first reproducing and classifying the failure, then tracing the entire pipeline from retrieval to generation. Key steps include optimizing retrieval with techniques like BM25 and dense retrieval, refining context assembly, and ensuring generation is grounded in provided passages with citations. Finally, the process emphasizes rigorous evaluation and phased rollout to prevent regressions. AI
