RAG technique enhances LLMs by retrieving external data before generation

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a technique designed to mitigate the hallucination problem in large language models. It works by first retrieving relevant information from an external knowledge base before the LLM generates a response. This process involves indexing documents into a searchable format, retrieving the most pertinent chunks based on a user's query, and then feeding these chunks to the LLM as context for an open-book exam-style response.

IMPACT RAG provides a practical solution to LLM hallucination, enabling more reliable and factually grounded AI responses.

    What Is RAG? Why LLM Memory Alone Is Never Enough

    <p>Ask a large language model for a specific statistic, then ask where it found that number. More often than not, the citation it gives you doesn't exist. The model will hallucinate a plausible-looking reference, confidently present outdated conclusions, or simply make things up …
