Mastering RAG Series 2: Query Translation Techniques

Mastering RAG Series 2: Query Translation Techniques

LLM (Large Language Model) is a powerful new platform, but they are not always trained on data that is relevant to our tasks or the most recent data. RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) is a general method that connects LLMs with external data sources (such as private data or the latest data). It allows LLMs to … Read more

Rethinking RAG Relevance: Similarity Does Not Equal Relevance

Rethinking RAG Relevance: Similarity Does Not Equal Relevance

Recently, while reading some materials about RAG systems, I discovered an interesting phenomenon: the relevance issue of RAG is far more complex than we imagine. Whether from the perspective of data retrieval or the understanding of relevance by large models, the performance of RAG is filled with challenges and opportunities. Today, I would like to … Read more

Understanding Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) in AI

Understanding Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) in AI

In recent years, artificial intelligence has made significant leaps, primarily due to large language models (LLMs). LLMs are very good at understanding and generating human-like text, leading to the creation of various new tools, such as advanced chatbots and AI writers. Although LLMs excel at generating fluent, human-like text, they sometimes struggle with factual accuracy. … Read more

Pirate of RAG: Adaptive Attacks on LLMs to Leak Knowledge Bases

Pirate of RAG: Adaptive Attacks on LLMs to Leak Knowledge Bases

Abstract With the growing popularity of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems in various real-world services, concerns about their security are increasing. RAG systems enhance the generative capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) through retrieval mechanisms operating on private knowledge bases. However, unintended exposure of this mechanism can lead to severe consequences, including the leakage of private … Read more
