Pattern Library

Architecture Patterns

Variable-Layout PDF Data Processing

In a world where no two PDFs follow the same structure, current PDF parsers (which internally use AI models for layout detection) often fall short in extracting data accurately in the required reading order. The Variable-Layout PDF Processing Pattern addresses this challenge by introducing a complexity-aware routing mechanism.

Agentic Document Processing & Insights Automation Pattern

Modern organizations need more than basic data extraction. Agentic Document Processing & Insights Automation Pattern is a step beyond Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) by orchestrating workflows to bridge document processing with decision-making. Unlike traditional methods, this pattern applies business rules post-extraction, referencing multiple knowledge sources to generate actionable insights, saving time.

Responsible & Secure RAG Pattern

As AI adoption accelerates, ensuring responsibility, security, and compliance in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems becomes critical. The Responsible & Secure RAG Pattern is designed to safeguard enterprise data, mitigate AI risks, and ensure regulatory compliance, making AI applications more trustworthy and resilient.

Design Patterns

Chunking Patterns

  • Dividing large text into fixed chunks can disrupt comprehension by splitting sentences or concepts, leading to poor retrieval quality. The Sliding Window pattern mitigates this by overlapping chunks, ensuring continuity and preserving critical context. While it increases redundancy and retrieval costs, it improves accuracy by preventing lost information. Without it, naive chunking risks fragmenting key insights, reducing model effectiveness in RAG applications.

  • Retrieving relevant information in large-scale RAG applications can be inefficient if all chunks are treated equally. The Metadata Attachment pattern assigns structured attributes (e.g., author, date, category) to chunks, enabling precise filtering before retrieval. This reduces search space, improves accuracy, and cuts computational costs. Without it, retrieval accuracy decreases and potentially leads to a lot of noisy data when it is given to the LLM.

  • The Small-to-Big pattern balances precise retrieval with rich contextual synthesis in RAG applications. Small chunks ensure high-accuracy search, while larger contextual chunks provide depth during response generation. Without it, retrieval may either introduce excessive noise from large chunks or lose critical context with overly small chunks, leading to incomplete or misleading outputs. This pattern optimizes both precision and completeness in AI-driven knowledge retrieval.

Evaluation Patterns

  • Evaluating structured outputs demands more than a simple true/false check. This pattern tackles the hidden challenges of diverse data types, nested elements, and arrays, providing systematic ways to measure accuracy with metrics like MSE, F1, or BLEU. By converting comparisons into numerical scores, it pinpoints weaknesses you might otherwise overlook, ensuring robust, actionable insights for your AI’s structured outputs.

  • Evaluating AI-generated outputs is often subjective, inconsistent, and costly. The Formula As Judge pattern replaces manual/LLM based evaluation with structured, mathematical metrics, ensuring objective, repeatable, and scalable assessments. By using predefined formulas—like BLEU for translations or ROUGE for summaries—this approach automates quality checks, reduces bias, and streamlines benchmarking. Ideal for structured tasks, it provides clear, quantitative insights into model performance without the need for human intervention.

  • The Model As Judge pattern automates the evaluation of subjective AI outputs, using an LLM to assess coherence, factual accuracy, and relevance. It scales efficiently, reducing reliance on human reviewers while maintaining flexibility in assessing open-ended tasks. While effective for nuanced evaluations, it may introduce biases or hallucinations, requiring periodic benchmarking against human judgments for reliability.

  • The Human As Judge pattern ensures high-quality evaluation for AI-generated content by leveraging human expertise in areas where automated assessments fall short. It captures subjective factors like ethics, creativity, contextual accuracy, and domain expertise, making it essential for high-stakes applications. While it provides rich insights and expert validation, its scalability is limited, and it requires careful structuring to mitigate human bias and maintain consistency.

  • The User As Judge pattern integrates direct user feedback into AI evaluation, ensuring alignment with real-world needs and personal preferences. It enables continuous learning, improves engagement, and refines AI models and AI-based systems through explicit ratings and implicit behavior tracking. While highly scalable for consumer applications, it requires careful bias filtering and structured aggregation to ensure meaningful insights drive AI improvements.

Reliability Patterns

  • Complex or ethically sensitive AI decisions can pose huge risks if left ungoverned. The Human In The Loop pattern addresses this by ensuring a human reviews and approves high-stakes AI recommendations. This fosters accountability, compliance, and trust—while capturing user inputs to refine the model. It’s essential when mistakes could lead to severe repercussions or require expert judgment, bridging the gap between AI efficiency and human oversight.

  • High-autonomy AI systems can produce unnoticed errors or drift over time. The Human On The Loop pattern keeps human supervisors in the background, ready to intervene if issues arise. It balances AI efficiency with oversight—automating routine decisions while escalating uncertain or high-impact cases. Humans then update rules and models, preventing failures and maintaining trust without blocking everyday operations.

  • If your AI system can act autonomously but you still want to refine or confirm decisions after execution, the Human After the Loop approach ensures you won’t miss hidden oversights. By verifying AI decisions post-action, you harness the speed of automation while upholding human expertise. This helps maintain control and reliability, even in tasks you might not expect to need final checks on.
