Multi-Modal RAG with ColPali as a re-ranker using @llama_index 💡 What is ColPali? ColPali is a model based on Vision Language Models (VLMs). It is an extension of PaliGemma-3B, ColPali generates ColBERT-style multi-vector representations for both text and images. It efficiently indexes documents using their visual features. 🤔 But how can ColPali be used as a re-ranker in a Multi-Modal RAG setup? Using LlamaIndex abstractions, the process is simple and involves five steps: 1️⃣ Extract text and images from the data sources. 2️⃣ Build a Multi-Modal index for both text and images using @cohere Multi-Modal Embeddings. 3️⃣ Retrieve relevant text and images simultaneously using a Multi-Modal Retriever for the given query. 4️⃣ Re-rank text nodes using @cohere re-ranker and image nodes using ColPali. 5️⃣ Generate responses by using the re-ranked text and image nodes with the GPT-4o Multi-Modal LLM. 👉check out the cookbook: https://t.co/RuTAbPy2QS
