Critical Challenges Encountered in the Practical Implementation of RAG

Mitigation Ideas and Code Included

In the practical development of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), numerous detailed challenges often arise. While a demo can be created in just three days, optimizing its performance may require up to three months.

This article discusses three practical challenges encountered during the development of an RAG system and presents corresponding mitigation ideas, hoping to assist others in the field. The Three practical challenges are:

• File Incremental Updates for RAG and GraphRAG

• Numerical Reasoning

• Short Follow-Up Type Query
