In this course, Optimizing Data Retrieval Techniques, you’ll learn to improve the accuracy, speed, and reliability of retrieval pipelines.

First, you’ll explore semantic indexing and relevance scoring to enhance retrieval accuracy.

Next, you’ll discover query reformulation and parent-document retrieval methods to boost recall.

Finally, you’ll learn how to apply reranking techniques using BERT-based and cross-encoder models to improve precision.

When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of retrieval optimization needed to build faster, more accurate, and reliable RAG systems.
