A retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) application has exponentially higher utility if it can work with a wide variety of data types—tables, graphs, charts, and diagrams—and not just text. This requires a framework that can understand and generate responses by coherently interpreting textual, visual, and other forms of information. In this post, we discuss the challenges of tackling multiple…
