# SafeRAG: High-Performance Calibrated RAG

A production-ready Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system with risk calibration, built on the Hugging Face ecosystem.

## 🚀 Key Features

- **Risk Calibration**: Multi-layer risk assessment with adaptive strategies
- **High Performance**: Optimized for 2-3.5x throughput improvement
- **Hugging Face Native**: Built on HF Datasets, Models, and Spaces
- **Production Ready**: Complete pipeline with error handling and monitoring

## 🏗️ Architecture

```
HF Datasets → Embedding (BGE/E5) → FAISS Index
Query → Batched Retrieval → Evidence Selector → Generator (vLLM + gpt-oss-20b)
→ Risk Calibration → Adaptive Strategy → Output (Answer + Citations + Risk Score)
```

## 📊 Performance Targets

- **QA Accuracy**: EM/F1 improvements over vanilla RAG
- **Attribution**: +8-12pt improvement in citation precision/recall
- **Calibration**: 30-40% reduction in ECE (Expected Calibration Error)
- **Throughput**: 2-3.5x improvement with vLLM

## 🛠️ Quick Start

### Run Tests
```bash
python3 simple_e2e_test.py
```

### Start Demo
```bash
python3 app.py
```

## 📈 Evaluation

The system has been tested with comprehensive end-to-end tests:

- ✅ Text processing and sentence extraction
- ✅ Embedding creation and similarity calculation
- ✅ Passage retrieval and reranking
- ✅ Risk feature extraction and prediction
- ✅ Risk-aware answer generation
- ✅ Evaluation metrics (EM, F1, ROUGE)
- ✅ Complete end-to-end RAG pipeline

## 🔧 Configuration

Key parameters in `config.yaml`:

- **Risk Thresholds**: τ₁ = 0.3, τ₂ = 0.7
- **Retrieval**: k = 20, rerank_k = 10
- **Generation**: max_tokens = 512, temperature = 0.7
- **Calibration**: 16 features, logistic regression

## 🎯 Risk Calibration

### Risk Features (16-dimensional)
1. **Retrieval Statistics**: Similarity scores, variance, diversity
2. **Coverage Features**: Token/entity overlap between Q&A
3. **Consistency Features**: Semantic similarity between passages
4. **Diversity Features**: Topic variance, passage diversity

### Adaptive Strategies
- **Low Risk (r < τ₁)**: Normal generation
- **Medium Risk (τ₁ ≤ r < τ₂)**: Conservative generation + citations
- **High Risk (r ≥ τ₂)**: Very conservative or refuse

## 📚 Datasets

- **HotpotQA**: Multi-hop reasoning with supporting facts
- **TriviaQA**: Open-domain QA for general knowledge
- **Wikipedia**: Knowledge base via HF Datasets
