两个关键问题限制了 RAG 的发展:
-
新型 RAG 算法之间缺乏全面和公平的比较。
-
像 LlamaIndex 和 LangChain 这样的开源工具使用了高级抽象,这导致了透明度的缺失,并限制了开发新算法和评估指标的能力。
不同 RAG 库和框架的比较。公平比较指的是在评估过程中对所有基本组件进行对齐,包括随机种子、生成器、检索器和指令。数据收集器指的是能够收集或生成训练和测试数据的能力,无论是通过从现有的原始数据集中抽样,还是通过使用LLM构建标记数据。

RAGLAB提供了一个模块化的架构,允许用户轻松地替换和扩展算法的各个组成部分,包括检索器(retriever)、生成器(generator)和指令(instruction)。
RAGLAB 框架的架构和组件

-
检索器(Retriever):集成了基于BERT的模型,如Contriever和ColBERT,提供了统一的查询接口和客户端-服务器架构,以及检索缓存机制。
-
语料库(Corpus):提供预处理的Wikipedia语料库,包括2018年和2023年的版本,以及对应的索引和嵌入。
-
生成器(Generator):集成了Huggingface Transformers和VLLM,支持量化和低秩适应(LoRA)技术,允许使用大型模型。
-
指令实验室(Instruction Lab):包含系统指令、任务指令和算法指令,允许用户自定义和组合指令。
-
训练器(Trainer):集成了Accelerate和DeepSpeed库,支持模型的微调,包括LoRA和量化LoRA技术。
-
数据集和度量(Dataset and Metric):收集了10个广泛使用的基准数据集,覆盖五种不同的任务类型,并提供了灵活的数据适配机制和多种评估指标 -
