#4012 Semantic Optimization of NASA Documents for Improved RAG; +Markup Export to DB #4012  Describe step-by-step how to apply semantic optimization to NASA NPRs and NASA standards documents. The purpose here is to enable improved RAG utilization of these documents. Applying semantic optimization to NASA Procedural Requirements (NPRs) and Standards is a specialized task. These documents are notoriously dense, cross-referenced, and filled with "shall" statements that require high precision for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). To move beyond simple "chunk and embed" methods, follow this step-by-step workflow to ensure your RAG system understands the difference between a "requirement" and "guidance." Phase 1: Structural Decomposition (Parsing) Standard PDF parsers often fail on NASA documents due to complex headers, footers, and nested lists. Extract Hierarchical Context: Don't just pull text; map the hierarchy. Each chunk must know its ...

#4011 Training a Specialized LLM for NASA NPR 7150.2; +RAG and Content Engineering/Semantic Optimization #4011 To train an LLM specialized to NASA NPR 7150.2, describe 5 categories of training data To specialize a Large Language Model (LLM) for NPR 7150.2 (NASA Software Engineering Requirements), you need to move beyond general coding knowledge and into the rigorous domain of safety-critical systems, mission assurance, and federal compliance. Here are five essential categories of training data required to build that specialization: 1. Primary Regulatory & Compliance Documents The foundation of the model must be the raw text of the requirements themselves. This provides the "ground truth" for what is mandatory versus recommended. NPR 7150.2 (Versions C and D): The core requirements, including the "Compliance Matrix" (Appendix C). NASA-STD-8739.8: The standard for Software Assurance and Software Safety. NPR 7123.1: Systems Engineering Processes and Requirement...
