I'm new to all this AI stuff. I'm not even entirely sure on the
difference between 'training' and 'learning' and 'retrieval-augmented
generation'.

What I can tell you is that my program works sort of like as follows:

    auto handle = CreateHandleToArtificialIntelligenceModel();

    for ( auto const &e : container_all_papers )
    {
        DeleteEverythingYouKnow( handle ):
        LoadPaperIntoModel( handle );
        bool const is_matching = AskQuestionAndGetBooleanAnswer("Does
this paper mention chocolate?");
        if ( is_matching ) AddToSearchResults( e );
    }

So the AI's memory gets wiped before every individual paper is loaded
in. Actually you can see the beginnings of that loop here:

    https://github.com/healytpk/paperkernelcxx/blob/b5557109ccf4e617e046be4df0cfbaf48f84574b/main_program/GUI_Dialog_Main.cpp#L338

In the body of the loop, I invoke "NewContext" which wipes its memory,
and then I invoke 'LoadPaper'. I can't test that code properly yet
though coz I haven't got a proper graphics card. I should have a new
laptop in a month or so though and I'll get cracking on it then.
