Build an end-to-end RAG solution using Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock and AWS CloudFormation

AWS Machine Learning Blog

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is a state-of-the-art approach to building question answering systems that combines the strengths of retrieval and foundation models (FMs). RAG models first retrieve relevant information from a large corpus of text and then use a FM to synthesize an answer based on the retrieved information. An end-to-end RAG solution involves several components, including a knowledge base, a retrieval system, and a generation system.

Rephrasing the Web: A Recipe for Compute and Data-Efficient Language Modeling

Machine Learning Research at Apple

Large language models are trained on massive scrapes of the web, which are often unstructured, noisy, and poorly phrased. Current scaling laws show that learning from such data requires an abundance of both compute and data, which grows with the size of the model being trained. This is infeasible both because of the large compute costs and duration associated with pre-training, and the impending scarcity of high-quality data on the web.
