Overview of Building RAG Applications with Elastic and Amazon Bedrock

Key Takeaways:

  • Semantic search and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) are critical components of modern generative AI applications.
  • Combining Elastic's search capabilities with Amazon Bedrock's generative models provides a powerful solution for building RAG applications.
  • Elastic provides a range of features to enable efficient vector search, semantic ranking, and hybrid search capabilities.
  • Amazon Bedrock offers a managed service for accessing and using a variety of pre-trained generative language models, with a focus on privacy and security.
  • The integration of Elastic and Amazon Bedrock allows for building robust, scalable, and customizable generative AI applications.

Semantic Search and RAG

  • Traditional keyword-based search had limitations, often requiring users to guess the right keywords to find relevant information.
  • Stack Overflow partnered with Elastic and AWS to enable natural language-based semantic search, using Elastic's vector search and Amazon Bedrock's generative models to provide direct answers.
  • RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) is a key component of modern generative AI applications, leveraging both retrieval of relevant information and generation of responses.
  • RAG allows applications to utilize private, up-to-date data to enhance the power of large language models.

Elastic's Search Capabilities

  • Elastic serves as a "relevance engine", combining traditional lexical search with semantic search capabilities.
  • Elastic's vector search features, including quantization and approximate nearest neighbor search, enable efficient and scalable vector-based retrieval.
  • Elastic provides a range of search-related features, such as geospatial search, learning to rank, and hybrid search using reciprocal rank fusion.
  • Elastic's semantic text field type and Inference API simplify the integration of generative models, including Amazon Bedrock's, into Elastic-powered applications.

Amazon Bedrock

  • Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that provides access to a variety of high-performing foundation models from leading AI companies, along with capabilities for customization and secure deployment.
  • Bedrock allows for easy experimentation, fine-tuning, and private deployment of generative models, without the need to manage the underlying infrastructure.
  • Bedrock's privacy and security features, such as private model copies and VPC integration, enable the use of generative AI in enterprise-grade applications.
  • Bedrock offers different deployment options, including on-demand, provisioned throughput, and batch/API, to suit various application requirements.

Customer Examples

  • HSC, a German e-commerce company, used Elastic and Amazon Bedrock to build a search application that improved click-through rates, customer satisfaction, and reduced maintenance overhead.
  • Proficio, a security solution provider, leveraged Elastic Security and Amazon Bedrock to improve productivity by 34% and predict savings of $1 million over 3 years.

Demonstration

  • The demonstration showcased a conversational AI assistant for real estate, utilizing a combination of keyword search, semantic search, and geospatial retrieval to provide relevant property recommendations based on user queries.
  • The architecture demonstrated the integration of Elastic's search capabilities and Amazon Bedrock's generative models to power the conversational AI assistant.
