## ⚡ Introduction

[RAG-Instruct](https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.00353) is a method for generating diverse and high-quality RAG instruction data. It synthesizes instruction datasets based on any source corpus, leveraging the following approaches:

- **Five RAG paradigms**, which represent diverse query-document relationships to enhance model generalization across tasks.
- **Instruction simulation**, which enriches instruction diversity and quality by utilizing the strengths of existing instruction datasets.

Using this approach, we constructed a 40K instruction dataset from Wikipedia, covering a wide range of RAG scenarios and tasks. 
Our RAG-Instruct significantly enhances the RAG ability of LLMs, demonstrating remarkable improvements in RAG performance across various tasks.
