During Juno RAG’s build, it became clear that embeddings alone don’t guarantee trustworthy answers. High cosine similarity can still surface partially relevant or context-drifted chunks.
To address this, the pipeline was engineered with:
• Hybrid search (semantic + BM25) to balance meaning and exact match • Cross-encoder re-ranking to evaluate true query-document relevance • Context-aware chunking to preserve semantic continuity • Mandatory source citation to enforce answer traceability
This shifted the system from probabilistic guessing to evidence-backed response generation.
Because in production RAG systems, retrieval precision > generation fluency
