Hierarchical RAG employs a coarse-to-fine retrieval approach, first locating relevant documents or sections at a coarse-grained level, then drilling down layer by layer to fine-grained paragraphs or sentences.

UnverifiedTraditional RAG solutions primarily rely on chunk-based retrieval, which splits documents into segments and returns the most relevant passages through vector similarity matching.78% similarVerifiedThe core process of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) consists of three steps: chunking and vectorizing knowledge base documents for storage, retrieving the most semantically relevant segments, and injecting those segments as context into the LLM prompt.77% similarUnverifiedModern RAG systems widely adopt vector retrieval technology, converting text into high-dimensional vectors via embedding models and computing cosine similarity to find relevant documents.77% similarUnverifiedIn RAG engineering, retrieved relevant document chunks should be prioritized at the beginning or end of the prompt, rather than stacked in order of similarity scores.74% similarVerifiedA standard RAG pipeline typically consists of seven stages: document preprocessing, text chunking, embedding vectorization, vector database storage, approximate nearest neighbor retrieval, optional reranking, and final generation.74% similar
