Retrieval Precision

Retrieval Precision is an evaluation metric in RAG systems measuring the fraction of retrieved document chunks that are actually relevant to answering the user query. High retrieval precision prevents prompt clutter and distraction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Precision measures how many of the retrieved documents are relevant. Recall measures if the retriever found all the relevant documents in the database.

How do you improve retrieval precision?

By using metadata filtering, semantic rerankers, and refining chunk size and overlap parameters.
