- Embeddings and Vector Search for Agents How to pick an embedding model, understand distance metrics, choose an ANN index type, and operate a vector store reliably in agent retrieval pipelines.
- Reranking for RAG: Cross-Encoders, LLM Rerankers, and Hosted APIs Second-stage retrieval step that re-scores bi-encoder candidates with full query-document attention, boosting precision without sacrificing recall; covers cross-encoder, LLM, and late-interaction reranking, hosted APIs, sizing heuristics, and evaluation.
- Hybrid Search for RAG: BM25 + Dense Retrieval and Fusion How to combine lexical (BM25/SPLADE) and dense vector retrieval with Reciprocal Rank Fusion for higher first-stage recall in RAG pipelines — with the RRF formula, a sparse-method comparison table, and verified DB support.
