Study Notes
- Marina Danilevsky is a Senior Research Scientist at IBM Research.
- She discussed the challenges of large language models (LLMs) in generating accurate and up-to-date responses.
- LLMs can provide incorrect answers due to lack of sources and being outdated.
- Danilevsky used an anecdote about giving her kids an incorrect answer about the solar system's planet with the most moons to illustrate this issue.
- She introduced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) as a solution, focusing on the "Generation" part.
- RAG enables LLMs to access external sources of information before generating a response to a user query.
- RAG improves accuracy and up-to-dateness by allowing LLMs to retrieve and consider the most recent and reliable information from a content store.
- RAG also ensures that LLMs give proper credit to their sources and do not hallucinate or leak data.
- Danilevsky emphasized the importance of improving both the retrieval system and the LLM to ensure the best possible responses for users.
