Terms starting with R
RAG
Retrieval-Augmented Generation: a pattern where AI retrieves relevant documents before generating an answer.
RAG Architecture
How indexing, retrieval, context assembly, and generation connect in a production RAG system.
RAG Evaluation
Measuring whether retrieval finds the right sources and whether answers grounded in those sources are correct.
RAG Governance
The controls around retrieval that decide which sources are eligible, current, permissioned, and cite-worthy for each AI app.
RAG Observability
Visibility into what documents were retrieved, why they ranked, and how they influenced the final answer.
RAG Pipeline
The end-to-end flow from documents through chunking, embedding, retrieval, and answer generation.
RAG Retrieval
The search step in RAG that finds candidate document chunks matching a user query.
Retrieval Quality
How often retrieval returns the right documents for a given question.
Retrieval Relevance
Whether retrieved chunks actually relate to the user's question and intent.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation
An AI architecture that searches a knowledge store for relevant context, then uses that context to generate a response.
