RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)
Combining retrieval systems with language models to generate responses grounded in external knowledge.
In-depth explanation
RAG addresses LLM limitations like outdated knowledge and hallucinations by retrieving relevant documents before generation. The retrieved context is included in the prompt, grounding the response in actual sources. This enables knowledge-intensive applications, reduces hallucinations, and allows updating knowledge without retraining the model.
