Catch a Cute Ghost this Halloween with Milvus

This article discusses practical applications of Multimodal Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) using Milvus, a vector database. It covers two Halloween-themed use cases: identifying if something is a ghost and finding the cutest cat ghost. The first application involves image search with filters and uses Ollama, LLava 7B, and LLM reranking to determine if an object is a ghost by comparing it to a database of ghost images. The second application focuses on finding the cutest cat ghost using a visualized BGE model. Both applications demonstrate how multimodal RAG can be used for various tasks beyond text-based search. Additionally, the article highlights running advanced RAG techniques locally with Milvus Lite, Ollama, and LLava 7B.
