hello everyone can someone tell me what the topK means in this code:         "knowledgeBase": {
          "topK": 2,
          "fileIds": [
            "926201c3-xxxx-489a-xxxxx-1d38xxxxxx5883"
          ],

Hello! The `topK` parameter in the context of a knowledge base typically refers to the number of top results to return from a query. When you perform a search or request information from the knowledge base, `topK` determines how many of the most relevant results should be provided. In this case, a `topK` value of 2 means that the system will return the top 2 most relevant entries from the knowledge base in response to a query.

You can continue this conversation by mentioning me in the message.

ok i dont fully understand, what does "relevant results" pertain to? do you mean if i have 10 documents (fileID's), it will pull in 2 documents(fileID's)?

topK is number of relevant results usually

relevant results is ordered based on the similarity score from the knowledge base

it will pull in the 2 highest ranked documents

<@1281637707545837654>  let me know if that helped

ok so when you say "relevant results" you are reffering to relevant results of knowledge base documents. that helps. i did not see how to set a rank for each document, how is that set?

you cant set a rank for each document- it is computed whenever you do a query to the knowledgebase based on the input terms ( keywords etc. )

the rank is computed on every time you execute a query against the knowledge base

it reranks what has the most semantic similarity to your input query ( e.g. input "dog' as query, it will rank documents referring to dogs or dog related activities higher than say, a document about a hot air balloon)

if you just want it to pull everything each time and your knowledge base is small, just set topK = number of documents and similarity wont matter

<@1281637707545837654>  if you need to discuss more we can hop on a quick call

just checking <@1281637707545837654> if resolved for you?
