RAG agents use self-query, corrective, and adaptive retrieval

This article explores advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques that enhance how large language models retrieve and utilize information. It details three patterns: Self-Query RAG, which optimizes search queries for vector databases; Corrective RAG (CRAG), which verifies retrieved document relevance and takes action if it's low; and Adaptive Retrieval, which dynamically selects a retrieval strategy based on the question's type. These methods aim to improve the accuracy and reliability of LLM responses by addressing common RAG limitations. AI
