Introduction 🌟

The Advanced_RAG.ipynb notebook in this repository provides an in-depth analysis and implementation of three RAG techniques and six RAG evaluation techniques. Additionally, it demonstrates how to track evaluation experiments using MLflow.

Checkout the accompanying Article!

RAG Techniques 🛠️

The notebook details the following RAG techniques:

• Chunks with Overlap 🧩: Splits the document into overlapping chunks of text.
• Sentence Window Retrieval 🪟: Utilizes surrounding sentences as context for retrieval.
• Hierarchical Automerge Retrieval 🔼: Combines hierarchical data organization with retrieval augmentation for more contextually rich results.

Evaluating RAG Techniques 📊

The notebook demonstrates the evaluation of RAG techniques using the following metrics:

• Context Precision 🔍
• Context Recall 🎯
• Faithfulness 🤝
• Answer Relevancy 🎯
• Answer Similarity ↔️
• Answer Correctness ✅

Experiment Tracking 📈

The experiment tracking section showcases how to use Microsoft Azure ML Studio and MLflow for tracking and analyzing the results of your RAG evaluations.

Installation 📥

While the steps detailed below are also in the Advanced_RAG.ipynb notebook for running in a hosted environment like Google Colab or AzureML Studio, you may choose to set up your environment locally.

1. Clone the Repository 📂:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/Advanced-RAG.git
   cd Advanced-RAG

2. Install Dependencies 💾: Make sure you have Python 3.6+ installed, then run:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Data Preparation 📊: Run the download_dataset.sh script to download the necessary data:

   chmod +x download_dataset.sh
   ./download_dataset.sh

Usage 💻

• Open the Advanced_RAG.ipynb notebook in a Jupyter environment.
• Follow the instructions and code cells in the notebook to explore the various RAG techniques and evaluations.
