Medical-Chatbot

A sophisticated medical information retrieval system powered by LLaMA 2 (7B) that leverages RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) architecture to provide accurate medical information.

🌟 Features

• Advanced Language Model: Utilizes Meta's LLaMA 2 (7B parameters) for natural and contextual responses
• RAG Architecture: Implements Retrieval-Augmented Generation for accurate and source-based responses
• Vector Database: Employs Pinecone for efficient similarity search and retrieval
• Dual Interface:
  • RESTful API built with FastAPI for seamless integration
  • User-friendly web interface for direct interactions
• Extensible Knowledge Base: Medical literature database that can be easily updated and scaled

🚀 Technical Stack

• Language Model: LLaMA 2 (7B) - HuggingFace Implementation
• Backend Framework: FastAPI
• Vector Database: Pinecone
• Knowledge Base: Curated medical literature and textbooks
• API: RESTful endpoints for programmatic access

💡 How It Works

1. Query Processing: User inputs are processed and vectorized
2. Knowledge Retrieval: Relevant medical information is retrieved from Pinecone
3. Context Enhancement: Retrieved information augments the LLaMA 2 model's knowledge
4. Response Generation: Model generates accurate, context-aware responses
