RAG from scratch: Part 8 (Query Translation -- Step Back)
From the video description
Step-back prompting is an approach to improve retrieval that builds on chain-of-thought reasoning. From a question, it generates a step-back (higher level, more abstract) question that can serve as a precondition to correctly answering the original question. This is especially useful in cases where background knowledge or more fundamental understanding is helpful to answer a specific question.
