Generative Models Unleashed
Patrick discusses the evolution of retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and its roots in collaborative ideas among researchers. He emphasizes the empirical focus of their initial work, which aimed to enhance open domain question answering through generative models. The conversation highlights how the term RAG has expanded over time, becoming a catch-all for various approaches to integrating knowledge with language models.In this clip
