Retrieval-Augmented Generation - RAG

EEnhance your AI with accurate, up-to-date information from your own (private/company) knowledge base using state-of-the-art RAG architecture. Our solutions leverage vector embeddings, semantic search, and large language models to deliver precise, context-aware responses. We support multi-hop retrieval and streaming RAG for faster, more comprehensive answers across complex documents. Easily integrate with popular vector databases like Weaviate, Qdrant, pgvector and FAISS—optimized for scale, security, and real-time updates.

RAG Architecture

What is Retrieval-Augmented Generation?

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is an advanced AI framework that enhances large language models (LLMs) by integrating them with external knowledge retrieval systems. While LLMs excel at generating responses based on general knowledge, RAG extends their capabilities by dynamically accessing and incorporating up-to-date information from external sources. RAG had its peak in 2023 and 2024 but it remains relevant as a cornerstone of a LLM-solution.

Core Components:

  • Retriever: Efficiently searches and retrieves relevant information from knowledge bases using vector similarity search
  • Generator: Processes the retrieved context to generate accurate, well-grounded responses
  • Vector Database: Stores document embeddings for fast semantic search and retrieval
Key Benefit: RAG overcomes the knowledge cutoff limitation of traditional LLMs by dynamically retrieving and incorporating up-to-date information.
Technical Advantages:
  • Reduced hallucination through evidence-based generation
  • Improved accuracy with source attribution
  • Dynamic knowledge updates without model retraining
  • Efficient handling of domain-specific knowledge

How RAG Works

Our RAG implementation follows a sophisticated, multi-stage pipeline designed for maximum accuracy and performance

Document Processing

  • Text Extraction: PDFs, DOCs, HTML, and more
  • Semantic Chunking: Context-aware text segmentation
  • Embedding: Transformers (e.g., BERT, RoBERTa, MPNet)
  • Storage: Vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS)

Query Processing

  • Query Expansion: Generate multiple query variations
  • Hybrid Search: Combine BM25 + Dense Retrieval
  • Re-ranking: Cross-encoders for precision
  • Context Assembly: Dynamic context window management

Generation & Enhancement

  • Prompt Engineering: Chain-of-thought, few-shot examples
  • Source Attribution: Verifiable citations and references
  • Confidence Scoring: Uncertainty estimation
  • Post-processing: Formatting, filtering, and safety checks

Continuous Improvement

  • Feedback Loop: Explicit and implicit feedback collection
  • Active Learning: Identify knowledge gaps
  • Model Updates: Continuous retraining pipeline
  • Monitoring: Performance metrics and drift detection

Vector Database Technology

Vector Databases in RAG

Vector databases enable efficient similarity search in high-dimensional spaces, making them ideal for RAG implementations. They store and retrieve vector embeddings generated by transformer models.

Key Components:
  • Example: pgvector: PostgreSQL extension for vector similarity search
  • HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World): Fast approximate nearest neighbor search
  • Quantization: Reduces vector dimensions while preserving similarity
Optimization Techniques:
Indexing

IVFFlat, HNSW, and LSH for efficient search

Quantization

FP16/INT8/INT4 precision for storage optimization

Performance Tip: pgvector with HNSW index can achieve sub-millisecond search times for millions of vectors when properly tuned and quantized.
