Advanced Retrieval for AI with Chroma
by DeepLearning.AI × Chroma
Fix the weakest link in RAG — retrieval — with query expansion, re-ranking, and embedding adaptation.
Overview
Retrieval is where most RAG systems fail, and this course targets it directly. Taught with Chroma's Anton Troynikov, it covers query expansion (rewriting or augmenting the user query), re-ranking retrieved chunks with a cross-encoder, and adapting embeddings to your domain. You also learn to diagnose retrieval failures by projecting embeddings, so you can see why the wrong chunks came back.
