Retrieval Pipeline
Definition
The retrieval pipeline is a system within AI that searches for and collects relevant documents needed to generate accurate and informative AI responses.
Where you’ll find it
In AI platforms, the retrieval pipeline operates mostly behind the scenes within the infrastructure or system settings. It is a part of the AI's core functionality, affecting how the system processes information.
Common use cases
- Enhancing the accuracy of AI-generated responses by providing access to the most relevant information.
- Speeding up response times by efficiently locating and retrieving necessary documents.
- Improving the overall quality of user interaction with AI systems by ensuring that responses are both relevant and based on reliable sources.
Things to watch out for
- The retrieval pipeline needs regular updates to keep up with new information and changes in data sources.
- Sometimes, the system might retrieve documents that are less relevant, which can affect the accuracy of the response.
- It can be complex to set up or adjust, requiring a good understanding of both the AI system and the information it needs to access.

Pixelhaze Tip: Always monitor the performance of the retrieval pipeline. Occasionally check what kind of documents are being fetched and how they influence the AI responses. This helps in adjusting the system for better accuracy and relevance.
