Definition

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) brings retrieved documents into a language generation process. The original paper combines a sequence-to-sequence model with a dense index of Wikipedia passages. Retrieval makes external evidence available to the model, but answer quality still depends on the relevance of retrieved material and how it is used.

Origin

Research paper first submitted to arXiv on 2020-05-22.

Context

Common in document question answering and knowledge assistants. Inspect retrieval relevance and source attribution rather than assuming retrieval makes every answer correct. Catalog note: this is a source-verified reference entry, not a measured current-trend signal. No search-volume or growth claim is made.
