Conversational Retrieval QA Chain

PreviousConversation ChainNextLLM Chain

Last updated 9 months ago

Was this helpful?

A chain for performing question-answering tasks with a retrieval component.

Definitions

A retrieval-based question-answering chain, which integrates with a retrieval component and allows you to configure input parameters and perform question-answering tasks. Retrieval-Based Chatbots: Retrieval-based chatbots are chatbots that generate responses by selecting pre-defined responses from a database or a set of possible responses. They "retrieve" the most appropriate response based on the input from the user. QA (Question Answering): QA systems are designed to answer questions posed in natural language. They typically involve understanding the question and searching for or generating an appropriate answer.
