This paper explores the integration of proprietary and domain-specific data into Large Language Models (LLMs) through two primary methods: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Fine-Tuning. The authors propose a comprehensive pipeline that combines these techniques to enhance the performance of LLMs in specific industries, particularly agriculture. The pipeline includes data acquisition, information extraction from PDFs, question and answer generation, RAG, and fine-tuning. The study evaluates the effectiveness of this pipeline using popular LLMs such as LLaMa2-13B, GPT-4, and Vicuna. Key findings include: 1. **Comprehensive Evaluation**: The authors conduct extensive evaluations of various LLMs, including their performance on agriculture-related questions using benchmark datasets from major agricultural producer countries. 2. **Impact of Retrieval Techniques and Fine-Tuning**: Both RAG and fine-tuning are shown to improve LLM performance. RAG enhances contextually relevant responses, while fine-tuning teaches the model new skills specific to the agricultural domain. 3. **Geographic-Specific Knowledge**: The pipeline demonstrates the ability to generate location-specific insights, which is crucial for industries like agriculture. The results show a significant increase in accuracy when fine-tuning the model, with an additional 5 percentage points when combining RAG with fine-tuning. 4. **Model Adaptation**: The study highlights how systems built using LLMs can be adapted to incorporate knowledge across specific dimensions, paving the way for further applications in various industrial domains. The paper also provides detailed methodologies for each step of the pipeline, including data acquisition, information extraction, question and answer generation, and fine-tuning. The evaluation metrics used to assess the quality of the generated Q&A pairs are discussed, emphasizing the importance of relevance, coherence, groundedness, and completion. Overall, the research contributes to the understanding and application of LLMs in specific industries, particularly agriculture, by demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed pipeline and the benefits of RAG and fine-tuning.This paper explores the integration of proprietary and domain-specific data into Large Language Models (LLMs) through two primary methods: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Fine-Tuning.
