Evaluation : How do we evaluate such systems, especially when outputs are qualitative, subjective, or hard to benchmark? They used some local embeddings and played around with different chunking strategies. Wrong document retrieval : Debug chunking strategy, retrieval method. How do we do so? Some seemed better than others.
