π Boost Your Search with Contextual RAG! π§
Context is key for accurate search. ππ»π Traditional RAG systems often miss the nuances, leading to irrelevant results. Anthropic’s “Contextual Retrieval” enhances accuracy by adding context to data chunks.
How it Works:
Contextualized Chunks: Prepend chunks with concise context derived from the original document using an LLM.
Example: “This chunk is from an SEC filing on Acme Corp’s Q2 2023 performanceβ¦ The company’s revenue grew by 3% over the previous quarter.”
Benefits:
35% decrease in failed retrievals.
Improved relevance and user experience.
Tips:
Use powerful embeddings like Gemini and Voyage.
Combine embeddings with BM25 for enhanced ranking.
Experiment with chunking strategies and reranking.
By embracing context, you can unlock the full potential of RAG and build powerful, intelligent search applications!
