Premium AI Book (PDF/ePub) - 200+ pages
Introduction to Chatting with PDFs
This book provides a comprehensive guide to creating an AI system that can chat with PDF documents using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and open-source tools.
Key Steps
The process involves several key steps, including data preparation, RAG architecture, system integration, and utilizing open-source tools.
Data Preparation
Extract text from PDF documents using tools like PyPDF2 or Unstructured library, and convert the extracted text into vector embeddings using models like all-MiniLM-L6-v2 from Hugging Face or Instructor XL.
RAG Architecture
Use vector stores like FAISS to efficiently retrieve relevant snippets from the vectorized data, and feed the retrieved snippets to a large language model (LLM) such as GPT-3.5 Turbo or GPT-4 to generate answers to user queries.
System Integration
Use frameworks like Streamlit to create an intuitive interface for users to interact with the system, and handle user queries by estimating their embeddings, retrieving relevant snippets, and generating responses using the LLM.
Open-Source Tools
Utilize LangChain to build a cohesive pipeline for RAG, integrating with APIs like OpenAI and Pinecone for efficient knowledge retrieval and generation, and optionally use a Postgres database to store and manage document embeddings.
