RAG_Techniques Capabilities

foundational-rag-pipeline-implementation

Implements a standard RAG pipeline architecture with document ingestion, embedding generation, vector storage, semantic retrieval, and LLM-based generation. Uses a modular pattern where each stage (chunking, embedding, retrieval, generation) is independently configurable, allowing developers to swap components (e.g., different embedding models, vector databases, LLM providers) without rewriting the pipeline. The architecture follows a consistent interface across 40+ technique implementations, enabling pedagogical progression from simple RAG to advanced variants.

Unique: Provides a unified pedagogical pipeline architecture that all 40+ techniques build upon, with dual-framework implementations (LangChain and LlamaIndex) showing how the same logical pipeline maps to different frameworks, enabling developers to understand RAG concepts independent of framework choice

vs alternatives: More comprehensive than single-technique tutorials because it shows the complete pipeline context and how techniques compose, whereas most RAG guides focus on isolated techniques without showing integration points

semantic-chunking-with-size-optimization

Implements intelligent document chunking strategies that go beyond fixed-size splitting by using semantic boundaries (sentence/paragraph breaks, code blocks) and configurable chunk size optimization. The technique analyzes document structure to preserve semantic coherence while optimizing for embedding model context windows and retrieval performance. Includes methods to test different chunk sizes against a query workload to empirically determine optimal chunk dimensions, with metrics tracking retrieval quality vs. computational cost tradeoffs.

Unique: Combines semantic boundary detection with empirical chunk size optimization through query-based testing, rather than just providing fixed-size or rule-based chunking — developers can run A/B tests on chunk sizes against their actual query patterns to find optimal configurations

vs alternatives: More sophisticated than LangChain's basic text splitter because it preserves semantic structure and includes optimization methodology, whereas most RAG tutorials use fixed chunk sizes without justification or testing

self-correcting-rag-with-answer-validation

Implements Self-RAG and Corrective RAG (CRAG) techniques where the system generates answers, then validates them against retrieved context and self-corrects if validation fails. The system uses learned or rule-based validators to assess whether generated answers are supported by retrieved context, and if validation fails, triggers retrieval refinement (new queries, different retrieval strategies) and regeneration. This approach creates a feedback loop within the generation process, enabling the system to detect and correct hallucinations or unsupported claims without requiring external feedback.

Unique: Implements Self-RAG and CRAG techniques that validate generated answers against retrieved context and trigger self-correction (re-retrieval and regeneration) if validation fails, creating an internal feedback loop that detects and corrects hallucinations without external validators

vs alternatives: More proactive than post-hoc fact-checking because it validates during generation and corrects immediately, and more practical than requiring external validators because it uses the LLM itself for validation

multi-modal-rag-with-image-and-text

Extends RAG to handle multi-modal documents containing both text and images by using multi-modal embedding models that encode images and text into a shared embedding space, enabling retrieval across modalities. The system processes images (extracting text via OCR, generating captions, or using vision models) and text separately, embeds them into a unified space, and retrieves relevant content regardless of modality. This approach enables queries to find relevant images when asking text questions and vice versa, supporting richer document understanding.

Unique: Implements multi-modal RAG using shared embedding spaces for text and images, enabling cross-modal retrieval where text queries find images and image queries find text — a unified approach that treats modalities symmetrically

vs alternatives: More comprehensive than text-only RAG because it handles visual content, and more practical than separate text and image pipelines because it uses unified embeddings for symmetric cross-modal retrieval

rag-evaluation-with-deepeval-framework

Provides a comprehensive evaluation framework (DeepEval) for assessing RAG system quality across multiple dimensions: retrieval quality (precision, recall, NDCG), answer quality (faithfulness, relevance, coherence), and end-to-end performance. The framework includes pre-built metrics, dataset management, and evaluation pipelines that can be integrated into development workflows. Developers can define evaluation criteria, run automated evaluations against test datasets, and track metrics over time to monitor RAG system quality and detect regressions.

Unique: Provides an integrated evaluation framework (DeepEval) with pre-built metrics for retrieval quality, answer quality, and end-to-end performance, enabling systematic RAG evaluation without building custom evaluation pipelines — a comprehensive approach to RAG quality assurance

vs alternatives: More comprehensive than ad-hoc evaluation because it provides standardized metrics and automated evaluation pipelines, and more practical than building custom evaluators because it includes pre-built metrics for common RAG quality dimensions

rag-benchmarking-with-test-datasets

Provides standardized benchmark datasets and evaluation protocols for comparing RAG techniques and implementations. The repository includes curated test datasets with queries, expected answers, and ground-truth retrieved documents, enabling developers to benchmark their RAG systems against known baselines. Benchmarks cover different domains (general knowledge, technical documentation, research papers) and query types (factual, conceptual, reasoning), allowing developers to assess RAG performance across diverse scenarios and compare their implementations against published baselines.

Unique: Provides curated benchmark datasets with ground-truth annotations for standardized RAG evaluation, enabling developers to compare implementations against known baselines and across different domains/query types — a structured approach to RAG benchmarking

vs alternatives: More rigorous than ad-hoc testing because it uses standardized datasets and protocols, and more practical than building custom benchmarks because datasets are pre-curated with ground truth

dual-framework-implementation-with-langchain-and-llamaindex

Provides parallel implementations of all RAG techniques using both LangChain and LlamaIndex frameworks, showing how the same logical RAG concepts map to different framework abstractions. Each technique has implementations in both frameworks, allowing developers to understand RAG architecture independent of framework choice and to compare framework approaches. This dual-implementation strategy helps developers make informed framework choices and understand how to port RAG implementations between frameworks.

Unique: Provides parallel implementations of all 40+ RAG techniques in both LangChain and LlamaIndex, showing how the same logical RAG architecture maps to different framework abstractions — a framework-agnostic approach to RAG education

vs alternatives: More educational than single-framework tutorials because it shows framework-independent RAG concepts, and more practical than framework-specific guides because it enables developers to choose frameworks based on understanding rather than framework lock-in

production-ready-runnable-scripts-for-rag-techniques

Provides standalone, executable Python scripts for each RAG technique that can be run immediately without modification (with API keys configured). Scripts include all necessary imports, configuration, and error handling, demonstrating production-ready patterns. Each script is self-contained and can serve as a template for implementing the technique in production systems. Scripts include examples with real data, showing end-to-end execution from document loading through answer generation.

Unique: Provides standalone, immediately-executable Python scripts for each RAG technique with all necessary configuration and error handling, serving as production-ready templates rather than just educational notebooks — a practical approach to RAG implementation

vs alternatives: More practical than notebooks because scripts are immediately runnable and production-oriented, and more complete than code snippets because they include full implementations with error handling and configuration

TrendRadar Capabilities

multi-platform trending topic aggregation with unified normalization

Crawls 11+ heterogeneous platforms (Zhihu, Weibo, Bilibili, Twitter, Reddit, HackerNews, etc.) and RSS feeds using platform-specific scrapers, normalizes disparate data schemas into a unified NewsItem model, and deduplicates content across sources using fuzzy title matching and URL canonicalization. The system maintains platform-specific metadata (rank, heat value, engagement metrics) while presenting a single normalized feed, enabling cross-platform trend detection that would be invisible within individual platform silos.

Unique: Implements platform-specific crawler modules with unified NewsItem schema and fuzzy deduplication across 11+ heterogeneous sources (Chinese + international), rather than relying on single-platform APIs or generic RSS parsing. Maintains platform-specific metadata (rank × 0.6 + frequency × 0.3 + platform hot value × 0.1) for weighted hotspot scoring.

vs alternatives: Covers more platforms (especially Chinese social media) with deeper metadata extraction than generic RSS aggregators, and provides unified deduplication across sources unlike single-platform monitoring tools.

keyword-based content filtering with regex and boolean logic

Implements a multi-stage filtering pipeline that matches news items against user-defined keywords using regex patterns, required word lists, and excluded word lists. The system applies frequency-based scoring (keyword occurrence count) combined with platform hotspot weights to rank filtered results. Configuration is stored in frequency_words.txt with support for regex patterns, AND/OR/NOT boolean operators, and per-keyword weighting. Filtering occurs at collection time (reducing storage) and again at report generation time (enabling dynamic reconfiguration without re-crawling).

Unique: Combines regex pattern matching with frequency-based scoring and platform hotspot weighting (rank × 0.6 + frequency × 0.3 + platform hot value × 0.1) in a two-stage pipeline (collection-time and report-time filtering). Supports dynamic reconfiguration without re-crawling by applying filters at report generation.
