** Enhancing Retrieval Performance in RAG Systems through Hybrid and Self-Query Techniques

The Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system, used for generating text based on user input, relies heavily on retrieval performance for its final output quality. Two advanced techniques, Hybrid Retrieval and Self-Query Retrieval, have been developed to improve this performance.

Hybrid Retrieval combines multiple retrieval algorithms to leverage their strengths, while Self-Query Retrieval enables a retriever to query itself for more accurate results. These methods aim to enhance retrieval accuracy and flexibility in RAG systems.

The LangChain framework has been used to implement these techniques, with significant improvements observed in practical applications. As technology advances, we can expect further enhancements to RAG system performance, benefiting users through better services.
