RAG can handle all sorts of different questions, it's really appropriate for extracting information from a document. An interesting question is "when the question requires using more many distant elements from doc, is RAG still relevant?"

RAG retrieval failures due to random variations, need more tests
By
–
Well spotted!
Both variations (blue and green ) are also due to random variations. For instance the RAG fails to retrieve relevant snippets on 1 single example. The tests I ran were not numerous enough yet to smooth these variations out. But maybe I'll run more. -
RAG system reduces token input from 128k to 2k
By
–
Exactly!
To complement on the end: thanks to the RAG system, the model was fed around 2k tokens each time, down from the 128k tokens of the original document. -
Auto-regressive Prediction Limits: Video vs Language Models
By
–
Thanks, Chris. Auto-regressive prediction has failed for video in the past but not obviously for language. @ylecun has emphasised this drift, but I wonder how much (1) redundancy and (2) discreteness can provide self-correction.

Discreteness Redundancy Self-Correction Images Language Genes
By
–
And what role does discreteness play here? Images are also redundant but maybe not in the same way as English. So I’m not sure which accommodates better self-correction. I’m thinking of genes too. Clear answers appreciated.

Redundancy and Error Correction in Autoregressive Language Model Learning
By
–
Redundancy in language, eg “I am Sam” vs “am Sam”, makes communication robust to errors. Is there a crisp argument for why this error-correction helps in learning auto-regressive language models? The intuition seems right but I’d love to see a formal proof or experiment.
