Facebook AI Open-Sources RAG, An Innovation in Intelligent NLP Models

Facebook collaborated with Hugging Face to open-source a natural language processing model known as RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation). RAG allows NLP models to bypass the retraining step, access and draw from up-to-date information, and then use a state-of-the-art seq2seq generator to output the results. RAG has built an NLP model that researches and contextualizes (as opposed to the more traditional, general-purpose NLP model). This innovation is essential for teaching computers to understand how to write and speak like a human. RAG allows researchers and engineers to quickly develop and deploy solutions to their knowledge-intensive tasks with just five lines of code.
