Hierarchical Indices: Find the Section First, Then Find the Sentence
📰 Medium · RAG
Learn how hierarchical indices work by mimicking human search behavior in long documents, improving search efficiency
Action Steps
- Build a hierarchical index by dividing a document into sections and subsections
- Apply a search algorithm to find the relevant section first
- Configure the algorithm to then search for the relevant sentence within the section
- Test the efficiency of the hierarchical index against a traditional index
- Compare the results to evaluate the effectiveness of the hierarchical approach
