Introduction
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a design pattern that combines a pretrained Large Language Model (LLM) like ChatGPT with an external data retrieval system to generate an enhanced response incorporating new data outside of the original training data. Adding an information retrieval system to your applications enables you to chat with your documents, generate captivating content, and access the power of Azure OpenAI models for your data. You also have more control over the data used by the LLM as it formulates a response.
The Document Intelligence Layout model is an advanced machine-learning based document analysis API. The Layout model offers a comprehensive solution for advanced content extraction and document structure analysis capabilities. With the Layout model, you can easily extract text and structural elements to divide large bodies of text into smaller, meaningful chunks based on semantic content rather than arbitrary splits. The extracted information can be conveniently outputted to Markdown format, enabling you to define your semantic chunking strategy based on provided building blocks.
