Implement a Simple RAG Pipeline

MediumPython

Problem

Write simple code for a RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) pipeline.

Asked in the L2 round stage. L2 for GenAI developer.

Implement rag_pipeline(documents, query, top_k). Tokenize text case-insensitively, retrieve documents by counting distinct query-token overlaps, preserve input order for ties, and return the selected documents joined with newline characters as a simple extractive answer. Return an empty string when no document matches.

Constraints

  • 1 <= len(documents) <= 100
  • 1 <= top_k <= len(documents)
  • Documents and query contain printable text
  • Matching is case-insensitive and punctuation is ignored

Function Signature
