Publisher's Synopsis
Mastering RAG for AI: Build Scalable, High-Performance Knowledge Applications is your definitive guide to harnessing the power of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) - the cutting-edge technique revolutionizing modern AI systems.
Whether you're a machine learning engineer, data scientist, or software architect, this book equips you with the tools and knowledge to design and deploy scalable, high-performance AI applications that integrate vast knowledge sources in real time.
Starting from the foundational concepts of RAG, you'll explore practical architectures that combine large language models (LLMs) with intelligent retrieval systems. Through hands-on examples and production-ready strategies, you'll learn how to:
- Understand the core principles and components of RAG pipelines
- Optimize vector databases and embedding strategies for accurate retrieval
- Fine-tune LLMs for domain-specific applications
- Ensure scalability, latency reduction, and real-time performance
- Implement RAG in knowledge-intensive systems like chatbots, search engines, and enterprise assistants
- Address key challenges such as hallucinations, evaluation metrics, and cost efficiency
Packed with real-world case studies and best practices, Mastering RAG for AI empowers you to build intelligent systems that don't just generate - they understand, retrieve, and reason.
