Information retrieval
Information retrieval (IR) is the process of obtaining relevant information from a collection of data, typically through search engines, databases, or other techniques. It supports decision-making and efficient knowledge access by matching user queries with stored information.
Key Features
- Efficient search: Uses indexing and ranking algorithms to quickly locate relevant documents or data from large collections.
- Query processing: Handles user intent through natural language processing and relevance ranking.
- Data integration: Supports multiple formats including text, images, and structured databases for comprehensive access.
- Modern augmentation: Incorporates techniques like retrieval-augmented-generation-rag to enhance language model outputs with up-to-date, contextually relevant information retrieved from knowledge bases.
Applications
- Customer support: Powering search systems for FA
Advanced Architectures
- RAG 2.0: Leveraging agentic RAG and knowledge graphs to optimize how AI agents search and utilize custom knowledge bases (Cole Medin).
