Bayesian Networks and Markov Networks: An Intuitive Guide to Structured Uncertainty
explanations begin with prediction. A churn model estimates whether a customer is likely to leave. A fraud model estimates whether a transaction is suspicious. A diagnosis model estimates the likelihood of a condition from symptoms, tests and history. A document classifier assigns a category from text, metadata or embeddings. In each case, the setup is […]

10 Common RAG Mistakes We Keep Seeing in Production
I of this series with Angela Shi. This pitfalls article lists the failure modes we both kept seeing on production RAG systems, and that pushed us toward the four-brick contract in the first place. I’ll admit something. Even when we work on this series, we dump big documents into ChatGPT. One PDF, one question, send, […]
