Religious Debate AI solves RAG entity gaps
A specialized RAG system indexing 165,000 documents across Islam, Christianity, and other traditions using BGE-large and Llama 3.3. It implements name normalization and source diversity tuning to ensure precise, cross-tradition citations while enforcing strict, citation-only synthesis.
Building RAG for historical texts proves that pure semantic search fails at entity alignment and collection-size bias. Hybrid retrieval with keyword boosting is required to bridge name variations like Moses and Musa, while custom chunking strategies are essential to preserve complex citation structures like surah/ayah and book/chapter/verse. Source diversity tuning prevents massive collections from overpowering smaller scriptures, and constraining Llama 3.3 to citation-only answers effectively eliminates hallucinations. The project serves as a blueprint for handling heterogeneous datasets with strong internal referencing.
