Introduction to AI Chatbots and Virtual Assistants
AI chatbots and virtual assistants have gained popularity due to advancements in large language models (LLMs) that enable them to understand and respond to textual context. Common applications include enhancing customer experiences, improving productivity, and optimizing business processes.
Utilizing Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) for Chatbots
One way to enhance chatbot responses is through Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), which optimizes output by referencing external knowledge bases. This technique combines knowledge base retrieval with generative models to provide more relevant and coherent responses.
Improving Response Accuracy with Reranking
Reranking is a technique that further enhances responses by selecting the best option among multiple candidate responses. By reranking results, the accuracy and relevancy of chatbot responses can be improved.
Enhancing Two-Stage Retrieval Process
Integration of a reranking model with a two-stage retrieval process can significantly improve context relevancy, answer correctness, and answer similarity. This approach, when combined with Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock, provides better performance in chatbot interactions.
Summary of Evaluations and Recommendations
RAGAS evaluation metrics, comparing standard RAG approach with two-stage retrieval, demonstrate the benefits of integrating a reranking model. It is suggested to test different reranking model variants and instance types to optimize performance based on specific use cases.
