# Task 6.1 Summary: RAGEngine with Hybrid Search

## Overview
Successfully implemented the RAGEngine class with hybrid search combining BM25 (keyword-based), vector search (semantic), and Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) for the Pipeline MCO PMSI project.

## Implementation Details

### Core Components Implemented

#### 1. RAGEngine Class (`src/pipeline_mco_pmsi/rag/rag_engine.py`)
- **Hybrid Search Pipeline**: Combines BM25 and vector search with RRF fusion
- **BM25 Search**: Keyword-based search using rank-bm25 library
- **Vector Search**: Semantic search using FAISS HNSW index
- **Reciprocal Rank Fusion**: Merges results from both search methods
- **Code Extraction**: Parses CIM-10 and CCAM codes from chunks
- **Eligibility Criteria Retrieval**: Extracts criteria from Guide Méthodologique

#### 2. Key Methods

**Search Methods:**
- `search_icd10(query, top_k, version)`: Searches CIM-10 codes with hybrid approach
- `search_ccam(query, top_k, version)`: Searches CCAM codes with hybrid approach
- `retrieve_eligibility_criteria(code, code_type)`: Retrieves eligibility criteria from Guide MCO

**Internal Methods:**
- `_bm25_search()`: Performs BM25 keyword search
- `_vector_search()`: Performs FAISS vector search
- `_reciprocal_rank_fusion()`: Fuses results using RRF algorithm
- `_extract_code_and_label()`: Extracts codes and labels from chunks
- `_extract_exclusion_rules()`: Extracts exclusion rules from Guide MCO
- `_extract_hierarchization_rules()`: Extracts hierarchization rules from Guide MCO

**Caching:**
- Chunks cache: `_chunks_cache`
- BM25 indexes cache: `_bm25_indexes`
- FAISS indexes cache: `_faiss_indexes`
- Embeddings model cache: `_embeddings_model`

#### 3. Data Models

**CodeCandidate:**
- `code`: CIM-10 or CCAM code
- `label`: Code description
- `similarity_score`: Relevance score [0.0, 1.0]
- `source`: "bm25", "vector", or "reranked"
- `chunk_id`: Source chunk identifier
- `chunk_text`: Chunk content (truncated to 500 chars)

**EligibilityCriteria:**
- `code`: Code concerned
- `code_type`: "dp", "dr", "das", or "ccam"
- `criteria_text`: Full criteria text
- `exclusion_rules`: List of exclusion rules
- `hierarchization_rules`: List of hierarchization rules
- `guide_section`: Source section in Guide MCO

### Hybrid Search Pipeline

```
Query
  ↓
  ├─→ BM25 Search (top 50) ──┐
  │                          │
  └─→ Vector Search (top 50) ┘
              ↓
    Reciprocal Rank Fusion
              ↓
         Top K Results
```

### RRF Algorithm
- Formula: `score(d) = Σ(1 / (k + rank(d)))`
- Default k = 60
- Combines rankings from both BM25 and vector search
- Boosts documents appearing in both result sets

## Requirements Satisfied

### Exigence 7.1: Recherche Hybride
✅ Implemented hybrid search combining BM25 and vector search

### Exigence 23.7: Vector Search + Reranking
✅ Pipeline uses vector search followed by RRF fusion (reranking)

### Exigence 7.2, 7.3: Local Versioned Referentiels
✅ Uses local versioned referentiels via ReferentielsManager

### Exigence 7.5: Similarity Scores
✅ All candidates include similarity_score field

### Exigence 26.1-26.4: Eligibility Criteria
✅ Retrieves eligibility criteria from Guide Méthodologique with exclusion and hierarchization rules

## Integration with Existing Components

### ReferentielsManager Integration
- Uses `ReferentielsManager` for embeddings model loading
- Loads chunks and FAISS indexes created by ReferentielsManager
- Shares data directory structure

### File Structure
```
data/referentiels/
  ├── cim10_2026_chunks.json
  ├── cim10_2026_index.faiss
  ├── ccam_2025_chunks.json
  ├── ccam_2025_index.faiss
  ├── guide_mco_2026_chunks.json
  └── guide_mco_2026_index.faiss
```

## Performance Characteristics

### Search Performance
- **BM25**: O(n) where n = number of chunks
- **Vector Search**: O(log n) with HNSW index
- **RRF Fusion**: O(k) where k = number of results to fuse

### Memory Usage
- Caching reduces repeated file I/O
- BM25 indexes kept in memory per referentiel
- FAISS indexes memory-mapped from disk
- Chunks loaded on-demand and cached

## Code Quality

### Design Patterns
- **Lazy Loading**: Embeddings model loaded on first use
- **Caching**: Multi-level caching for chunks, indexes, and models
- **Separation of Concerns**: Clear separation between search methods
- **Error Handling**: Graceful handling of missing files and invalid indexes

### Code Style
- Type hints throughout
- Comprehensive docstrings
- Logging at appropriate levels (INFO, DEBUG, WARNING, ERROR)
- Pydantic models for data validation

## Next Steps

The following tasks remain in the RAG Engine implementation:

1. **Task 6.2**: Implement reranking with cross-encoder model
2. **Task 6.3**: Complete search_icd10() and search_ccam() integration
3. **Task 6.4**: Enhance retrieve_eligibility_criteria() with more sophisticated extraction
4. **Task 6.5**: Write property-based tests
5. **Task 6.6**: Write additional unit tests for edge cases
