Informatics

Work description

This work will begin with a study on Agentic Retrieval-Augmented Generation architectures, focusing on the integration of heterogeneous and distributed data sources. Prototypes will be implemented to evaluate different architectural choices based on an orchestrator that receives user input and delegates tasks to a set of intelligent agents specialized in information retrieval and processing. The issues to be addressed involve defining architectures and interfaces that enable interaction between language models and multiple data technologies, ensuring correct coordination, contextualization, and access control to information. Empirical studies will be used to study and demonstrate the benefits of the proposed multi-agent Agentic RAG approaches.
