### 🤸 **Benefits**

The primary benefit of passage augmenter is that it allows users to fetch additional passages.

## **Node Parameters**

**Top_k**

- **Description**: The `top_k` parameter is used at the node level to define the top 'k' results to be retrieved
  from corpus.
- 📌 **Note**: The number of `top_k` must be same or less than the number of "`retrieval`node parameter `top_k`".

**embedding_model**

- **Description**: The embedding model name to be used for calculating the cosine similarity between the query and the
  augmented passages.

### Example config.yaml file

```yaml
node_lines:
  - node_line_name: retrieve_node_line  # Arbitrary node line name
    nodes:
      - node_type: passage_augmenter
        strategy:
          metrics: [ retrieval_f1, retrieval_recall, retrieval_precision ]
          speed_threshold: 5
        embedding_model: openai
        top_k: 5
        modules:
          - module_type: pass_passage_augmenter
          - module_type: prev_next_augmenter
            mode: next
