See all- Linear Algebra as Related to AI & Vector Databases - Open Talk - Virtual/In-PersNew Makerspace - (RSC), Rockville, MD
Join us as we dive into an exploration of vector database - a format for storing data in mathematical constructs useful for AI. To really understand the operations of this data, and to really understand the mathematics of modern AI - it is critical to understand Linear Algebra.
This talk is an opportunity to go a bit deeper into the mathematics of linear algebra (matrix math). We will show how matrices are used in AI and Vector Databases, and cover the basics of the the mathematics dot product operation.
This event has an option to join virtually. If you want to join remotely, please join us online at https://meet.jit.si/mocomakers

For our next monthly meeting, group member AJ will present on his experiences creating a drone video for a food pantry where he volunteers. It will include what he learned about getting approval to fly in the DC Flight-Restricted Zone (FRZ).
We'll get started shortly after 6pm so please try to arrive on time! We'll send out a Zoom link via email to those who have RSVP'ed, and also post the link in the event chat the day of the event for those who'd like to join virtually.

We want to spend this event talking about what would it take to get a drone community going. We’ll do a brief meet & greet, then gather feedback on the types of resources and activities you’d like to see the community organize. We’re also excited to hear what you might want to share back to the community.
