Graph RAG: smarter AI retrieval through knowledge graphs
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has revolutionized how AI systems access information, but it still struggles with context limitations and factual hallucinations.
At Babelscape, we have been experimenting with this technology on our multilingual knowledge graph WordAtlas (and others!) for quite some time now, with the aim of demonstrating how Graph RAG can transform AI understanding across languages.
