ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE GUIDE
Effective RAG Strategies for LLM Applications & Services
This paper explores the intricacies of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) strategies, emphasizing the superiority of semantic RAG for enterprise software architects aiming to build robust generative AI applications and agents
WHAT'S INSIDE
Why semantic RAG is better for enterprise applications
Semantic RAG, also known as “advanced RAG”, introduces semantic understanding into the retrieval process
Precision and relevance
By understanding the semantics of the query and the content, the retrieval system can fetch more relevant information
Enhanced user experience
By ensuring that the responses are both accurate and contextually coherent, semantic RAG enhances the overall user experience
Scalability
Semantic RAG, with its use of advanced retrieval techniques, offers a scalable solution that can efficiently handle large knowledge bases
Adaptability
Semantic RAG is highly adaptable to various enterprise use cases, making it a versatile tool for generative AI applications and agents
