Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when you want to inspect or adapt notebook-level implementations of text RAG techniques, especially document processing and retrieval choices.
Who it is for
- Learners studying RAG pipelines and retrieval methods.
- Developers adapting notebook examples into text-document question-answering prototypes.
Documented uses
- Study a basic RAG pipeline from text ingestion through response generation.
- Compare approaches to chunking, retrieval context, query transformation and reranking.
- Adapt readable notebook implementations for a text-based RAG prototype.
Requirements & limits
The GitHub repository is public and reports an MIT license.
- The notebooks and comments are in Chinese.
- The repository focuses on text-based RAG and does not implement multimodal RAG.
- The described stack includes OpenAI, NumPy and PyMuPDF; the project is a repository of examples rather than a hosted application.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Explore the text-based Simple RAG workflow
Follow the repository’s described stages for a basic text-document RAG implementation.
Before you start
- Text data to load and preprocess.
- Python libraries used by the repository include OpenAI and NumPy; PyMuPDF is also listed among its libraries.
Steps
Load and preprocess text data.
Split the data into smaller chunks.
Create embeddings for the chunks.
Retrieve relevant chunks using semantic search for a query.
Generate a response with a language model using the retrieved text.
Expected outcome
A basic workflow that uses retrieved text as context for response generation.
Guide limitations
- The repository describes text-based RAG and says it does not implement multimodal RAG.
- The implementation and comments are in Chinese.
