ML interview prep demystifies Retrieval-Augmented Generation with RecSys insights

The author explains Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) by drawing parallels to recommendation systems. They describe RAG as a method that allows large language models to access and utilize external knowledge bases, similar to how recommendation engines suggest items based on user history and item similarity. This approach helps LLMs provide more accurate and contextually relevant responses by grounding their outputs in specific data. AI
