PDF-Extract-Kit, a comprehensive toolkit for high-quality PDF content extraction, including layout detection, formula detection, formula recognition, and OCR.
PDF documents contain a wealth of knowledge, yet extracting high-quality content from PDFs is not an easy task. To address this, we have broken down the task of PDF content extraction into several components:
images, tables, titles, text, etc.;inline formulas and isolated formulas;https://github.com/opendatalab/PDF-Extract-Kit

Self-RAG is another form of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). Unlike other RAG retrieval strategies, it doesn’t enhance a specific module within the RAG process. Instead, it optimizes various modules within the RAG framework to improve the overall RAG process. If you’re unfamiliar with Self-RAG or have only heard its name, join me today to understand the implementation principles of Self-RAG and better grasp its details through code.

RAG Foundry: A Framework for Enhancing LLMs for Retrieval Augmented Generation
RAG Foundry is a library designed to improve LLMs ability to use external information by fine-tuning models on specially created RAG-augmented datasets. The library helps create the data for training, given a RAG technique, helps easily train models using parameter-efficient finetuning (PEFT), and finally can help users measure the improved performance using various, RAG-specific metrics. The library is modular, workflows are customizable using configuration files.
In deepeval, a metric serves as a standard of measurement for evaluating the performance of an LLM output based on a specific criteria of interest. Essentially, while the metric acts as the ruler, a test case represents the thing you’re trying to measure. deepeval offers a range of default metrics for you to quickly get started with, such as:
deepeval also offers conversational metrics, which are metrics used to evaluate conversations instead of individual, granular LLM interactions. These include:
Fine-tuning an embedding model is a powerful technique for optimizing retrieval augmented generation (RAG) systems in finance. By training a smaller open-source embedding model like BAAI/bge-small-en on a domain-specific dataset, the model learns more meaningful vector representations that capture the nuances and semantics of financial language. This leads to significantly improved retrieval performance compared to using generic pre-trained embeddings.

Fine-tuned financial embedding models, such as Banker++ RAG, demonstrate superior accuracy on tasks like semantic search, text similarity, and clustering. They enable RAG systems to better understand complex financial jargon and retrieve the most relevant information given a query.
Integrating these specialized embeddings is straightforward using libraries like LlamaIndex or Sentence-Transformers.
As the financial industry increasingly adopts AI, fine-tuned embedding models will play a crucial role in powering domain-specific NLP applications. From analyzing market sentiment to personalizing investment recommendations, these optimized embeddings unlock new possibilities for harnessing unstructured financial data. By combining the power of open-source models with the domain expertise embedded in financial corpora, fine-tuning paves the way for more intelligent and impactful RAG systems in finance.
Banker++ is trained to act like a Senior Banker.

While I’m not suggesting it’s a one-size-fits-all solution or a replacement for professional financial advice, it may offer valuable insights into areas such as risk management, investment strategies, and portfolio optimization.
To illustrate, let’s consider a common question in finance:
Question: What is CDS and how does it compare to a swap?
Answer:
CDS differs from swaps as it focuses specifically on credit risk protection, providing insurance against default events. In contrast, swaps involve the exchange of cash flows, often related to interest rates, currencies, or commodities, without directly addressing credit risk.
Feel free to explore the model and see if it aligns with your organization’s needs and objectives. Remember to approach its use with caution and consider consulting with financial experts when making significant decisions.
As we navigate the complexities of the financial world together, let’s remain humble in our pursuit of knowledge and improvement.
