  • Publication number: 20250103592
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide systems and methods for retrieval augmented generation. A neural network based language model may be provided a question as a user input. Based on the user input, semantically diverse queries may be generated for retrieval from diverse data sources. For example, a structured data source (e.g., database or knowledge base) and unstructured data (e.g., text articles) may be used to retrieve information relevant to the user input. The retrieve information may be ranked so that the most relevant information is used by the language model in generating an answer to the question in the user input. A non-retrieval based answer generated by the language model may be utilized in some embodiments in generating the final answer.

  • Publication number: 20250107170
    Abstract: Methods for isolating two adjacent transistors are disclosed. A substrate has a first semiconducting fin on a first region and a second semiconducting fin on a second region, and the first semiconducting fin and the second semiconducting fin contact each other at a jog region. A dummy gate within or adjacent the jog region is removed to expose a portion of the first semiconducting fin and form an isolation volume. Etching is performed to remove the exposed portion of the first semiconducting fin and create a trench in the substrate. The trench and the isolation volume are filled with at least one dielectric material to form an electrically isolating structure between the first region and the second region. Additional dummy gates in each region can be removed and replaced with an electrically conductive material to form two adjacent transistors electrically isolated from each other.

  • Publication number: 20240428044
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a framework that integrates a retriever model and the LLM to feed retrieved passages to an LLM to generate an answer conditioned on the retrieved passages in response to a query. For example, in one embodiment, a single-round approach is implemented, which involves directly transmitting the retrieved passages to the LLM. For another example, a multi-round methodology is implemented, which involves initially presenting the retrieved passages to the Language Model, collecting its responses, and then adjusting our interaction with the Language Model based on this acquired feedback.
