In Langchain, which method best integrates conversation history with document retrieval to enhance answer accuracy in a multi-turn RAG system?
AUse only the latest user query for retrieval and ignore history during retrieval.
BConcatenate conversation history with the current query before passing it to the retriever.
CRetrieve documents independently and append conversation history only during generation.
DStore conversation history separately and do not include it in retrieval or generation.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

    Including conversation history in the retrieval query helps the retriever understand context and retrieve relevant documents.

  3. Final Answer:

    Concatenate conversation history with the current query before passing it to the retriever. -> Option B

    History + query improves retrieval relevance [OK]
Quick Trick: Combine history and query before retrieval for best results [OK]
