Everything you need to know about Retrieval Augmented Generation in one human-friendly guide. Generative AI models struggle when you ask them about facts not covered in their training data. Retrieval Augmented Generation—or RAG—enhances an LLM’s available data by adding context from an external knowledge base, so it can answer accurately about proprietary content, recent information, and even live conversations. RAG is powerful, and with A Simple Guide to Retrieval Augmented Generation, it’s also easy to understand and implement! This book goes deeper than any blog or YouTube tutorial, covering fundamental RAG concepts that are essential for building LLM-based applications. You’ll be introduced to the idea of RAG and be guided from the basics on to advanced and modularized RAG approaches—plus hands-on code snippets leveraging LangChain, OpenAI, Transformers, and other Python libraries. For data scientists, Machine Learning and software engineers, and technology managers who wish to build LLM-based applications. Examples in Python - no experience with LLMs necessary.

After many years during which it languished in relative obscurity, in remote classrooms of Computer Science departments and in small prototype projects for tech companies, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now a searingly hot topic across the media. Yet much of the public discussion is so feverish that an understanding of the basic scientific and engineering elements of the field is easily lost, often resulting in exaggerated claims, as well as dangerously neglected threats. This concise and sober book presents a brief history of AI, explaining in clear language the central engineering innovations that have produced the current revolution. It distinguishes between imagined dangers and the very real problems that AI is creating. Spread across seven short and accessible chapters, this book explains the developments behind Deep Learning and the applications of deep neural networks (DNNs). Automatic code generation applies NMT methods to mapping natural language text into computer code. It permits programmers to create, test, and correct code in a variety of languages. As DNN (Deep Neural Network) code generation improves in quality, it will replace much of the manual work in programming. This will allow software engineers to focus on high-level design and application problems, rather than the details of coding.

Finally, the last chapter of this book previews some of the latest trends for biometric technology going into 2025 and beyond. Facial recognition is one of those biometric technologies which most people can associate with. For example, we all have a face, and just like the fingerprint, the face has been used to verify and identify criminals and wanted suspects, as well as terrorists. Probably one of the best examples of facial identification is the photos at the post office, as well as those facial images which are on the wanted portion of the major law enforcement websites.
