Try a sample question
A company wants to build a product search where users can upload a photo and find similar products. Which model architecture enables searching images against an image+text database?
A.ResNet: a classification model that assigns category labels for keyword matching
B.BERT: a text-only model that can be fine-tuned on image metadata
C.CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training): embeds both images and text into the same vector space, enabling cross-modal similarity search
D.Whisper: an audio model that can be adapted for image-to-text transcription

Frequently asked questions
- What does the Multimodal RAG check test?
- The check covers retrieval over pdfs with tables and figures, image search, colpali and late interaction models, table-aware chunking, extracting structure from documents before indexing.. Questions span beginner to advanced difficulty and test both conceptual understanding and practical trade-off reasoning.
- What keywords should I know for Multimodal RAG?
- Key concepts include: multimodal RAG, ColPali, PDF parsing, table extraction, image embeddings, CLIP, document layout, late interaction. These frequently appear in rag & retrieval systems interviews at product and infrastructure companies.
- How many questions are in the check?
- Each check has 10 questions — a mix of MCQ and short-answer. You get scored by dimension (e.g., scalability, consistency) so you know exactly where to focus.
