Data Ingestion for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Data Ingestion is a critical initial step in building a robust Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system. It involves the process of collecting, cleaning, structuring, and storing diverse data sources into a format suitable for efficient retrieval and generation. Key Considerations for Data Ingestion in RAG: Data Source Identification: Internal Data: Company documents, reports, knowledge bases, customer support tickets, etc. Proprietary databases, spreadsheets, and other structured data. External Data: Publicly available datasets (e.g., Wikipedia, Arxiv) News articles, blog posts, research papers from various sources Social media data (with appropriate ethical considerations) Data Extraction and Cleaning: Text Extraction: Extracting relevant text from various formats (PDF, DOCX, HTML, etc.) Data Cleaning: Removing noise, inconsistencies, and irrelevant information Normalization: Standardizing text (e....
