What you'll learn
Why the first results miss
How initial retrieval ranks passages roughly, and why the best one often is not on top.
Add re-ranking in minutes
Drop a re-ranking step into a working RAG and watch the strongest passages rise first.
See the answer improve
A before and after on the same question so the lift from re-ranking is plain to see.
Why this topic matters
Your RAG pulls back ten passages and the best one is buried at number seven, so the answer suffers. Re-ranking fixes exactly that, and it is one of the cheapest wins in the whole pipeline. In this free 30 minute session you add a re-ranking step to a working RAG and watch the most relevant passages climb to the top before the answer is written. We run the same query with and without re-ranking and compare what the model sees. You leave able to add re-ranking to your own RAG and feel the answers sharpen.
