Abstract: In various examples, an enhanced retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system may provide relevant responses to user queries by prioritizing contextually relevant information based on author-related metadata. For instance, the systems and methods of the present disclosure may enrich documents—or portions (e.g., “chunks”) thereof—with metadata indicating an author's role, expertise, or association with a customer or topic. Upon receiving a query, the RAG system may retrieve content using keyword and/or semantic search, and prioritize results based on expert relevance. In some examples, threshold-based filtering or expert relationship graphs may be used to improve retrieval quality and reduce processing costs. Retrieved documents may, in some instances, be broken into smaller parts and summarized in parallel, with intermediate summaries recursively condensed to fit within a language model's context window. A final answer may then be generated using the user query and the refined summary.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to AI-based attribution of issues to specific data processing pipeline stages. For instance, some embodiments detect and classify inefficiency issues, anomaly issues, or failure issues in a data processing pipeline, such as those used in conversational AI systems, search engines, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) frameworks. The system monitors various stages of the pipeline to detect the issues that impact the quality, relevance, or performance of the output. By leveraging feedback signals, a language model, and/or correlation techniques via the use of application logs and/or traces, some embodiments automatically attribute issues to specific pipeline stages and provide detailed diagnostic insights.
