🌟 Advanced Retrieval for AI with Chroma - Learning Notes

Welcome! 👋 This repo contains my notebooks, notes, and experiments from the course Advanced Retrieval for AI with Chroma by DeepLearning.AI.

The course dives into how to build smarter retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems using ChromaDB (an open-source embedding database). These notebooks are my way of practicing, tinkering, and learning by doing.

📚 Learning Goals

Through these exercises, I aim to:

• Understand how ChromaDB works behind the scenes.
• Practice advanced retrieval techniques (query transformation, reranking, filtering).
• Build my own end-to-end RAG pipeline.
• Document my journey so others can follow along (and maybe even improve on it!).
