We are seeing a lot of use cases for langchain apps and large language models these days. After inspecting a lot of them and building a few myself, I wanted to write this article about the common concepts, ideas, and essentially the steps of building an LLM-langchain-powered application. Most of my experience is tailored toward semantic search and question-answering, so there might be slight differences for other NLP tasks (I doubt they will be major differences though).
I won’t be covering web scraping or acquiring the dataset in the first place since this is quite a… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
