The article also provides a tutorial on how to install and use spRAG, including a quickstart guide and basic customization options. It explains the architecture of spRAG, detailing the five key customizable components: VectorDB, ChunkDB, Embedding, Reranker, and LLM. The document upload and query flows are also outlined. The article concludes by inviting readers to join the Discord community for further discussions and support.
Key takeaways:
- spRAG is a high-performance RAG framework for unstructured data, particularly effective at handling complex queries over dense text such as financial reports and legal documents.
- It uses two key methods to improve performance over vanilla RAG systems: AutoContext, which injects document-level context into individual chunks, and Relevant Segment Extraction (RSE), a post-processing step that combines relevant chunks into longer sections of text.
- spRAG can be installed using the Python package and customized using different components including VectorDB, ChunkDB, Embedding, Reranker, and LLM.
- The KnowledgeBase object in spRAG takes in documents, processes them, and returns the most relevant segments of text when queried.
