This is the video episode of our audio podcast conversation: How to Use Retrieval Augmented Generation(RAG) in an Enterprise Setting with Dr. Moritz Müller
Who is Dr. Moritz Müller?
Dr. Moritz Müller currently focuses on delivering successful digital transformation projects to corporate clients in financial services, manufacturing, the public sectors for Squirro in APAC.
With a PhD in Geophysics and extensive work experience in oil & gas exploration, as well as IT project implementation exposure, he has a strong technical background to support the use of emerging technologies in enterprise settings.
What is Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)?
Retrieval-augmented generation refers to a combination of two powerful natural language processing techniques: retrieval-based models and generative models.
The approach is gaining significance and increasing attention for several reasons:
- Improved Content Generation: retrieval-augmented generation allows generative models to access and integrate information from a broader context. By retrieving relevant information from a database or the internet, generative models can produce more accurate, coherent, and contextually relevant content.
- Better Understanding and Contextualization: retrieval helps generative models understand the context and topic more comprehensively. It enables the model to draw upon a wide range of knowledge sources, which is particularly important when dealing with complex or specialized topics.
- Enhanced Abstraction and Creativity: by combining retrieval and generation, AI models can exhibit both the creativity of generative models and the grounded information retrieval capabilities. This leads to more creative content generation while maintaining accuracy.
This episode is also available as an audio option.
Join Dr. Moritz Müller and our host Lauren Hawker Zafer to discover what RAG is and how it can be used in an enterprise setting.

Analytical research shows that around 93 percent of all online experiences begin with search. And, this happens because users rarely know what they want! A large proportion may have an idea but search is almost always required - to guide users, to show them what they are looking for and how to retrieve this.
Ask yourself: how do you search for information? Have you ever enclosed a search term within quotation marks to prompt the search engine to search for that specific word or phrase, or used Boolean commands? And, what happens to a query once it enters the search bar? Where does it go and how do we end up with the information we retrieve?
In this episode: Behind the Search Bar - Question Answering, Lauren Hawker Zafer speaks to Thomas Diggelmann about search, the end of search and the kind of technical journey that our search queries go on. As well as this, Thomas introduces Question Answering - the computer science discipline within the field of information retrieval and Natural Language Processing.
