Approach

  • • Website access OpenAI's assistant v2 API.
  • • Performs RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) over the ASL manual. The service first queries the ASL manual to find the most relevant content, and then submits that content to the LLM for the LLM to interpert and then return the answer.
  • • Contains approximately 1.49 million tokens of rules content. By comparison, Deep Learning by Goodfellow et al. is approximately 400k–420k tokens.
