Learning objectives

By the end of this module, you're able to:

  • Design hybrid search architectures combining keyword and semantic retrieval for high-precision knowledge access
  • Implement reranking strategies to improve RAG retrieval quality and contextual relevance
  • Configure dynamic knowledge source routing to direct queries intelligently across multiple knowledge bases
  • Optimize chunking and embedding strategies for different content types and retrieval requirements

Prerequisites

Before starting this module, you should have:

  • Familiarity with basic RAG using Foundry IQ or Azure AI Search
  • Experience configuring data sources and retrieval in Microsoft Foundry
  • Understanding of vector embeddings and semantic search concepts
  • Proficiency in Python
