Description

Generative AI is helping organizations tap into their data in new ways, with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) combining the strengths of large language models (LLMs) with internal data for more intelligent and relevant AI applications. The author harnesses his decade of ML experience in this book to equip you with the strategic insights and technical expertise needed when using RAG to drive transformative outcomes. The book explores RAG’s role in enhancing organizational operations by blending theoretical foundations with practical techniques. You’ll work with detailed coding examples using tools such as LangChain and Chroma’s vector database to gain hands-on experience in integrating RAG into AI systems. The chapters contain real-world case studies and sample applications that highlight RAG’s diverse use cases, from search engines to chatbots. You’ll learn proven methods for managing vector databases, optimizing data retrieval, effective prompt engineering, and quantitatively evaluating performance. The book also takes you through advanced integrations of RAG with cutting-edge AI agents and emerging non-LLM technologies. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to successfully deploy RAG in business settings, address common challenges, and push the boundaries of what’s possible with this revolutionary AI technique.

Who is this book for?

This book is for AI researchers, data scientists, software developers, and business analysts looking to leverage RAG and generative AI to enhance data retrieval, improve AI accuracy, and drive innovation. It is particularly suited for anyone with a foundational understanding of AI who seeks practical, hands-on learning. The book offers real-world coding examples and strategies for implementing RAG effectively, making it accessible to both technical and non-technical audiences. A basic understanding of Python and Jupyter Notebooks is required.
