A rigorous guide to measuring RAG quality using RAGAS metrics — faithfulness, answer relevancy, context precision, and context recall — plus how to build a golden dataset and recognize where automated metrics fall short.

Master four advanced query rewriting techniques that dramatically improve RAG retrieval quality: Hypothetical Document Embeddings, multi-query expansion, query decomposition, and step-back prompting. Learn when to reach for each and how to implement them.

A deep dive into how you split documents for retrieval-augmented generation — fixed-size, recursive, semantic, hierarchical, and late chunking — with concrete trade-offs and code for each approach.

From the limits of RNNs to the self-attention mechanism that replaced them. Learn how queries, keys, and values implement scaled dot-product attention, why multi-head attention captures richer structure, how positional encodings inject order, and how all of this assembles into a transformer block.

Explore Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), a powerful technique that enhances Large Language Models (LLMs) by grounding their responses in external, up-to-date, and domain-specific information, mitigating hallucinations and improving factual accuracy. This lesson covers its core components, workflow, and practical considerations.
