Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #B4] - A diagnostic and five composable operations, not a decision tree

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #B3] - A confident wrong answer is a bug. A bare “no answer” with no justification is almost as bad. Each of the four bricks has one piece of evidence to show

The post A RAG That Says “Not in This Document” Has to Show Four Kinds of Evidence appeared first on Towards Data Science.

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #B2] - The FAQ inverts every brick of the standard RAG pipeline. Parsing is trivial, retrieval doubles as a cache, and few-shot prompting becomes a retrieval problem too

The post FAQ as RAG: When You Get to Design the Corpus appeared first on Towards Data Science.

A framework for building RAG pipelines that introduces complexity in response to observed failure modes, from lexical and hybrid search to reranking and agentic information seeking

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #14C] - One hour with two people, six to ten fields, and the two signals that separate a real column from one that will break a filter later

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #14D] - The index lists what the case type demands before any folder is opened, and the two questions worth building for are not retrieval questions at all

The post Parse the Folder, Not Just the PDFs: The Relational Tables RAG Needs on a Case File appeared first on Towards Data Science.

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #14B] - No shared fields means no index to build. One summary line per file plus each file’s own table of contents, and retrieval routes down two levels

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #7sexies] - The unit of retrieval doesn’t have to be a page or a paragraph. When the corpus carries tables, each body row with its column headers is a chunk in its own right, and it’s often the one row the reader asked about

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #13bis] - The four bricks return useful results most of the time. Loop engineering is what the system does the rest of the time: when retrieval misses, when generation fails the schema, when the listing comes back incomplete, when an API call times out. Three control surfaces (trigger, termination, recovery) and one rule that separates a useful loop from a spinning one

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #9ter] - The pipeline from Article 9 calls a model at several steps to be sure it is right. On easy questions that is needless latency. A per-question signal routes them past the model, about two seconds saved for a keyword match.

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #5nonies] - Nature, plan, execute, synthesize: closing brick 1 with a dispatcher that reads each PDF’s nature and picks the method that fits, fitz, Docling, PaddleOCR, EasyOCR, MinerU or Surya, then folds the outputs into one corpus
