  TL; DR "'Kölle'—what's that? Our users are asking for 'the most beautiful city in the world,' and the chatbot has no idea what they mean? Multi-Query Retrieval can help. Multi-Query Retrieval is an advanced concept within Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures. It aims to improve the quality and diversity of the retrieved contextual information from a knowledge base before it's passed to a Large Language Model (LLM) to answer a query. Introduction The RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) approach provides a solid foundation for delivering meaningful and relevant content for user queries. It's used in Knowledge Management and, for example, in creating situational, personalized assistants. Over time, however, shortcomings in standard RAG have been identified, and corresponding solutions proposed. These improvements target one of the three RAG areas: Retrieve, Augment, or Generate . In today's blog post, we will look at a specific techniq...
