One risk is passage injection. It is possible that someone could
What do Golden Retrievers Have to do with AI?
What do golden retrievers have to do with AI? Not as much as pre-trained neural retrievers do! In my last post, I introduced the concept of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), a powerful technique that combines the strengths of retrieval systems with generative language models to produce more accurate and up-to-date responses. The retriever is a crucial
