contents Document retrieval systems have experienced a revitalized interest with the advent of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). RAG architecture offers a lower hallucination rate than LLM-only applications. However, the accuracy of the retrieval mechanism is known to be a bottleneck in the efficiency of these applications. A particular case of subpar retrieval performance is observed in situations where multiple documents from several different but related topics are in the corpus. We have devised a new vectorization method that takes into account the topic information of the document. The paper introduces this new method for text vectorization and evaluates it in the context of RAG. Furthermore, we discuss the challenge of evaluating RAG systems, which pertains to the case at hand.
