    Study Notes

    Large Language Models

    • LLMs generate data sequentially based on conditional probabilities.
    • Transformers, a type of neural network, are used as the core of many LLMs.
    • Transformers can capture long-range context through self-attention mechanisms.
    • LLMs are able to generate text that is contextually relevant, tailored to specific tasks or conditions, thanks to Transformers.

    Evolution of LLMs

    • LLMs have progressed in terms of size and capability.

    Generative AI Applications

    • LLMs can be used for a wide range of applications.
    • For instance, they can assist in customer service, research, legal discovery, and financial analysis.

    Generative AI Limitations

    • LLMs can lack control over specific attributes or features of the generated output.
    • If training data is biased, limited in scope, or contains errors, these shortcomings may be reflected in the generated output.
    • The use of LLMs raises ethical concerns as generated content could be misused.

    Prompt Engineering

    • Prompts are instructions and context passed to a language model to achieve a desired task.

    Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)

    • RAG combines the capabilities of LLMs with external information.
    • It's similar to an open-book exam, allowing the LLM to access and leverage external knowledge.
    • RAG involves a five-step process:
      • Data Collection and Extraction
      • Data Chunking
      • Document Embeddings
      • Storing Embeddings in a Vectorstore
      • Retrieval
      • Generation

    Data Collection and Extraction

    • RAG collects data from various sources like PDFs, websites, databases, and manuals.

    Data Chunking

    • Data is split into smaller, more manageable chunks to focus on specific topics.

    Embeddings

    • Words and sentences are represented numerically as vectors to capture semantic meaning.

    Document Embeddings

    • Splitted documents are transformed into embeddings, which help the system understand user queries and match them with relevant chunks.

    Store Embeddings in Vectorstore

    • Embeddings are stored in a vectorstore, a specialized database that allows for quick search and retrieval of similar vectors.

    Retrieval

    • User queries are transformed into embeddings and compared against embeddings in the vectorstore to identify the most relevant chunks.

    Generation

    • The LLM generates the answer based on user's query, retrieved context, and system instructions.

    Applications of RAG

    • Customer Services: RAG-powered chatbots can leverage knowledge bases and customer history to provide personalized support.
    • Research Market Intelligence: RAG helps to quickly synthesize insights from large volumes of data.
    • Legal Discovery: RAG helps legal professionals quickly find relevant precedents and arguments across large collections of case law.
    • Financial Analysis: RAG can ingest earnings statements, press releases, and regulatory filings to generate investment insights and trading signals.

    Advanced RAG Techniques

    • Parent Document Retriever: RAG systems can be built with hierarchical structures.
    • Hybrid Fusion Search: Combines keyword search and semantic search for more comprehensive results.
    • Contextual Compressor: This technique helps deliver personalized experiences based on user preferences.

    Customized AI Author Agents

    • Personalized AI authors can assist with tasks like co-authoring emails and preparing for meetings.
    • AI authors can utilize previous work to generate new content tailored to specific audiences and needs.
