Definition
Meta-Learning RAG is an advanced architecture where a secondary 'meta-model' or feedback loop dynamically optimizes RAG parameters—such as retrieval depth, top-k selection, or prompt templates—based on real-time performance metrics or task context. While it significantly increases accuracy and domain adaptability, it introduces trade-offs in system complexity and increased inference latency due to the additional decision-making layer.
Not traditional model fine-tuning, but the automated optimization of the retrieval pipeline's logic and strategy.
