Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) has revolutionized open-domain question answering by using a retrieval module to find relevant context passages and a generative module to provide answers. However, vector search, one of the critical components, has limitations in capturing nuanced reasoning, handling complex questions, and modeling diverse relationships. Knowledge graph prompting, which encodes various connections into…
Summary: The French association Data for Good released a white paper examining the environmental impact of language models. ChatGPT’s monthly usage emits 10,000 tons of CO2, equivalent to 0.1% of the yearly carbon footprint of individuals in France/UK. If ChatGPT+ with GPT-4 is used, the carbon footprint could increase by 10 to 100 times, contributing…
