A medical RAG web application

Project Overview

In this project, I developed a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system designed to enhance natural language processing capabilities by integrating multiple external data sources. The system utilizes a vector database (FIASS) for efficient data retrieval and incorporates medical books in PDF format, PubMed web pages, and Wikipedia as key information sources.

Features

🎯Efficient Data Retrieval: The system quickly retrieves relevant information from large datasets, ensuring users get accurate and useful responses.
🎯Diverse Data Sources: By integrating multiple external data sources, the system provides comprehensive and authoritative information.
🎯 Interactive Frontend: The Streamlit application offers a clean and easy-to-use interface for users to interact with the RAG system.
🎯Scalable Architecture: The use of FastAPI and LangChain allows for easy scaling and integration of additional data sources and functionalities.

Technical Stack

  • Python: Core programming language for developing the retriever tool, backend, and integrating LangChain.
  • FIASS: Vector database used for storing and retrieving data efficiently.
  • LangChain: Framework for managing prompts and facilitating interaction with the language model.
  • FastAPI: Backend framework for handling API requests and managing routes.
  • Streamlit: Frontend framework for creating an interactive user interface.
  • External Data Sources: Medical books (PDF), PubMed, Wikipedia.
  • OpenAI LLM: The API exposed by open AI is used
