03RESEARCH & INNOVATION

LEAPFROGGING TRADITIONAL VECTOR-BASED RAG WITH LANGUAGE MAPS

Retrieval is a huge part of building a chat application over data. However, systems are often sensitive to the format of things being retrieved. Building a language map (e.g., Wikipedia style entry) of the content, and using that for retrieval dramatically improves chat-based performance. Mutable AI does this for code base question answering.
