Advanced RAG Patterns
Implement reranking and hybrid search to significantly improve RAG retrieval quality with measurable metrics.

Lab Overview
This hands-on lab teaches you advanced RAG techniques that dramatically improve answer quality.
You'll learn to:
- Implement reranking with cross-encoder models
- Compare retrieval quality metrics with and without reranking
- Build hybrid search combining semantic and keyword matching
- Optimize retrieval pipelines for precision and latency
These techniques transform basic RAG into production-grade systems.
What You'll Learn
Implement reranking with cross-encoder models to improve retrieval precision
