Key Features

• Implement RAG’s traceable outputs, linking each response to its source document to build reliable multimodal conversational agents
• Deliver accurate generative AI models in pipelines integrating RAG, real-time human feedback improvements, and knowledge graphs
• Balance cost and performance between dynamic retrieval datasets and fine-tuning static data

Book Description

RAG-Driven Generative AI provides a roadmap for building effective LLM, computer vision, and generative AI systems that balance performance and costs.

This book offers a detailed exploration of RAG and how to design, manage, and control multimodal AI pipelines. By connecting outputs to traceable source documents, RAG improves output accuracy and contextual relevance, offering a dynamic approach to managing large volumes of information. This AI book shows you how to build a RAG framework, providing practical knowledge on vector stores, chunking, indexing, and ranking. You’ll discover techniques to optimize your project’s performance and better understand your data, including using adaptive RAG and human feedback to refine retrieval accuracy, balancing RAG with fine-tuning, implementing dynamic RAG to enhance real-time decision-making, and visualizing complex data with knowledge graphs.

You’ll be exposed to a hands-on blend of frameworks like LlamaIndex and Deep Lake, vector databases such as Pinecone and Chroma, and models from Hugging Face and OpenAI. By the end of this book, you will have acquired the skills to implement intelligent solutions, keeping you competitive in fields from production to customer service across any project.

Review

“This book stands out for its hands-on, practical approach, offering readers a clear pathway from foundational concepts to complex implementations. Its meticulous explanation of RAG concepts and real-world code implementations, make it accessible to both beginners and seasoned professionals.

A notable highlight is its unique insights into the challenges of scaling RAG systems and practical guidance on managing large datasets, optimizing query performance, and controlling costs. Additionally, the chapters on modular RAG and fine-tuning offer actionable strategies, which resonate with my own experiences in building an AI-powered Mental Health Management application utilizing conversational AI and RAG. The emphasis on human feedback is crucial; it demonstrates how expert input can refine data and enhance the reliability of AI responses, aligning AI outputs with human values.

The book's insights into performance optimization and the integration of human feedback make it a standout resource in the field.”

About the Author

Denis Rothman graduated from Sorbonne University and Paris-Diderot University, and as a student, he wrote and registered a patent for one of the earliest word2vector embeddings and word piece tokenization solutions. He started a company focused on deploying AI and went on to author one of the first AI cognitive NLP chatbots, applied as a language teaching tool for Moët et Chandon (part of LVMH) and more. Denis rapidly became an expert in explainable AI, incorporating interpretable, acceptance-based explanation data and interfaces into solutions implemented for major corporate projects in the aerospace, apparel, and supply chain sectors. His core belief is that you only really know something once you have taught somebody how to do it.
