 # RAG Article Query Filter
 
+[![CI](https://github.com/filippopellizzari/RAG-ArticleQueryFilter/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/filippopellizzari/RAG-ArticleQueryFilter/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
+
 A hybrid retrieval system for news articles that combines dense vector search and BM25 keyword matching, with a BERT-based toxicity gate on incoming queries.
 
 Built as a self-contained ML engineering project to demonstrate systematic retrieval experimentation, modular Python packaging, and production-ready API design.
