𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗥𝗔𝗚 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺'𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲? 𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁! Metadata is data about data, like titles, descriptions, and keywords. For search engines like Google, metadata helps understand 💡 webpage content without reading the entire text, improving search 🎯 accuracy. In RAG, you can tag metadata during pre-processing to make it identifiable. For example, tagging books with author, title, version, and genre metadata makes these items within large datasets searchable 🔎 and more readily identifiable and available. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗔𝗚? Metadata filtering enhances search by applying filters. For example, let’s say you’re building a job listing website where jobs are constantly posted with unstructured descriptions. These job listings all have filters including location, pay, and employment duration that you can use to isolate all relevant jobs related to the user’s query. 🤗 A user searching for jobs in Los Angeles with a minimum wage of $35 per hour can find listings more accurately using metadata filtering than with semantic searches alone. 𝗦𝗼, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴? ✅ Enhanced precision by narrowing down search results to meet specific metadata criteria. ✅ Retrieve relevant documents faster by reducing the surface area of the query, especially in large datasets. 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴! 1️⃣ Choose relevant metadata. Your filtering will only be as good as how well you tag the information so select metadata attributes 🐸 that provide the most value for your specific use case. For technical documentation, relevant metadata might include document type, programming language, and last updated date. 2️⃣ Experiment with automating metadata tagging. Use libraries like spaCY and NLTK to automatically extract metadata fields. 3️⃣ Store metadata efficiently. Use trufflepig to tag metadata upon upload and rely on our managed service for scalability. 😁 To help improve building RAG, we added metadata filtering as a feature this week. With trufflepig, you can leverage filtering for greater customization + better data organization, so try it out with our updated docs. 👀 Check out trufflepig’s metadata filtering: (link in first comment) 🤩 Follow trufflepig for more RAG tips and updates!
