Machine Learning System Design: Integrating PyTorch and Scikit-Learn with RAG-LLM
Machine learning system design has evolved significantly, incorporating advanced techniques and tools to create more efficient and powerful solutions. This white paper explores the integration of PyTorch and Scikit-Learn with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Large Language Models (LLMs), highlighting how IAS Research and Keen Computer can contribute to this field.
Key Components
PyTorch and Scikit-Learn Integration
PyTorch and Scikit-Learn are powerful libraries that can be combined to create robust machine learning systems[2]. This integration allows developers to leverage PyTorch's deep learning capabilities with Scikit-Learn's extensive machine learning toolkit. Key benefits include:
- Flexibility: Use PyTorch models within Scikit-Learn's ecosystem for tasks like cross-validation and hyperparameter tuning[2].
- Standardization: Easily standardize input features using Scikit-Learn's preprocessing tools in conjunction with PyTorch models[2].
- Pipeline Creation: Develop end-to-end machine learning pipelines that incorporate both libraries seamlessly[2].
RAG-LLM Architecture
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) combined with Large Language Models (LLMs) represents a cutting-edge approach in machine learning system design. This architecture enhances the capabilities of LLMs by incorporating external knowledge retrieval.
Key Features:
- Dynamic information retrieval
