RAG & HNSW Vector Retrieval

6 questions · intermediate

Six intermediate technical questions evaluating core Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and vector retrieval mechanics: semantic document chunking, dense vector space projection via bi-encoders, HNSW graph probability layer assignment, Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) for hybrid search, cross-encoder re-ranking dynamics, and chunk boundary truncation failure modes.
