What is Bias in a RAG System?

Analytics Vidhya

RAG, or Retrieval-Augmented Generation, has received widespread acceptance when it comes to reducing model hallucinations and enhancing the domain-specific knowledge base of large language models (LLMs). Corroborating information produced by an LLM with external data sources has helped keep the model outputs fresh and authentic. However, recent findings in a RAG system have underscored the […] The post What is Bias in a RAG System?

What is AI thinking? Anthropic researchers are starting to figure it out

Flipboard

Why are AI chatbots so intelligentcapable of understanding complex ideas, crafting surprisingly good short stories, and intuitively grasping what users mean? The truth is, we dont fully know. Large language models think in ways that dont look very human. Their outputs are formed from billions of mathematical signals bouncing through layers of neural networks powered by computers of unprecedented power and speed, and most of that activity remains invisible or inscrutable to AI researchers.
