LightRAG: Simple and Fast Alternative to GraphRAG
Analytics Vidhya
JANUARY 21, 2025
As Large Language Models continue to evolve at a fast pace, enhancing their ability to leverage external knowledge has become a major challenge. Retrieval-Augmented Generation techniques improve model output by integrating relevant information during generation, but traditional RAG systems can be complex and resource-heavy. To address this, the HKU Data Science Lab has developed LightRAG, […] The post LightRAG: Simple and Fast Alternative to GraphRAG appeared first on Analytics Vidhya.

Mapping Cells Through Time and Space With Moscot
Machine Learning Research at Apple
JANUARY 21, 2025
Single-cell genomics technologies enable multimodal profiling of millions of cells across temporal and spatial dimensions. Experimental limitations prevent the measurement of all-encompassing cellular states in their native temporal dynamics or spatial tissue niche. Optimal transport theory has emerged as a powerful tool to overcome such constraints, enabling the recovery of the original cellular context.
Self-RAG: AI That Knows When to Double Check
Analytics Vidhya
JANUARY 21, 2025
Large language models possess transformative capabilities across various tasks but often produce responses with factual inaccuracies due to their reliance on parametric knowledge. Retrieval-Augmented Generation was introduced to address this by incorporating relevant external knowledge. However, conventional RAG methods retrieve a fixed number of passages without adaptability, leading to irrelevant or inconsistent outputs.
