Improve RAG accuracy with fine-tuned embedding models on Amazon SageMaker

AWS Machine Learning Blog

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is a popular paradigm that provides additional knowledge to large language models (LLMs) from an external source of data that wasn’t present in their training corpus. RAG provides additional knowledge to the LLM through its input prompt space and its architecture typically consists of the following components: Indexing : Prepare a corpus of unstructured text, parse and chunk it, and then, embed each chunk and store it in a vector database.

Superposition Prompting: Improving and Accelerating Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Machine Learning Research at Apple

Despite the successes of large language models (LLMs), they exhibit significant drawbacks, particularly when processing long contexts. Their inference cost scales quadratically with respect to sequence length, making it expensive for deployment in some real-world text processing applications, such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Additionally, LLMs also exhibit the "distraction phenomenon," where irrelevant context in the prompt degrades output quality.

Beyond minimizing a single training loss, many deep learning estimation pipelines rely on an auxiliary objective to quantify and encourage desirable properties of the model (e.g. performance on another dataset, robustness, agreement with a prior). Although the simplest approach to incorporating an auxiliary loss is to sum it with the training loss as a regularizer, recent works have shown that one can improve performance by blending the gradients beyond a simple sum; this is known as gradient su
