A sophisticated multi-modal information retrieval system that intelligently routes queries across different data sources and retrieval methods to provide comprehensive answers to enterprise queries.
This system represents a next-generation enterprise search solution that combines multiple retrieval strategies to handle diverse types of queries and data sources. Unlike traditional search systems that rely on a single approach, this system employs an intelligent routing mechanism that determines the most appropriate retrieval method for each query.
The system's heart is an AI-powered router agent that analyzes incoming queries and determines the optimal retrieval strategy. The router evaluates query characteristics such as:
- Structured data requirements (SQL queries for numerical analysis, aggregations)
- Semantic similarity needs (vector search for conceptual matching)
- Entity relationship queries (graph traversal for complex relationships)
- Handles structured data queries and analytical operations
- Optimized for numerical aggregations, filtering, and reporting
- Supports complex SQL operations on enterprise data
- Ideal for queries like "Show me sales data for Q1" or "Which customer ordered the most?"
- Performs semantic similarity search using embeddings
- Handles natural language queries and conceptual matching
- Supports fuzzy matching and similarity-based retrieval
- Perfect for queries like "What are our product features?" or "How do I reset my password?"
- Manages entity relationships and complex graph traversals
- Extracts named entities using spaCy NLP
- Handles relationship-based queries and entity connections
- Ideal for queries like "Who is the CEO of Microsoft?" or "What companies are competing in AI?"
The system automatically categorizes queries based on their characteristics:
- Analytical queries → SQL retriever
- Semantic/conceptual queries → Vector retriever
- Entity/relationship queries → Graph retriever
- Fallback mechanism: If primary retrieval method fails, automatically tries alternative methods
- Result aggregation: Combines results from multiple retrievers when beneficial
- Confidence scoring: Ranks results based on retrieval method confidence
- Structured data: CSV files, databases, spreadsheets
- Unstructured documents: PDFs, emails, text files
- Semi-structured data: JSON, XML documents
