What we’re about
This Meetup group supports the SF Bay ACM Chapter. You can join the actual SF Bay Chapter by coming to a meeting - most meetings are free, and our membership is only $20/year !
The chapter has both educational and scientific purposes:
- the science, design, development, construction, languages, management and applications of modern computing.
- communication between persons interested in computing.
- cooperation with other professional groups
Our official bylaws will be available soon at the About Us page on our web site. See below for out Code of Conduct.

RAG using Milvus, HuggingFace, LangChain, Ragas, with or without OpenAIAbstract:
You’ve heard good data matters in Machine Learning, but does it matter for Generative AI applications? Corporate data often differs significantly from the general Internet data used to train most foundation models. Join me for a Python demo tutorial on building a customizable RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) stack using OSS Milvus vector database, LangChain, Ragas, HuggingFace, and optional Zilliz cloud and OpenAI.
Learn best practices and advanced techniques to optimize GenAI workflows with your own data.What you’ll learn:
* Using Python, learn how to build a customizable open source RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) chatbot with Milvus vector database, LangChain, Ragas, and HuggingFace models, and optional Zilliz cloud and OpenAI.
* Best practices around embedding text data ("embedding" in AI is like "featurization" in ML).
* Best practices around vector indexing and search.
* Best practices around RAG evaluation with Ragas.Tutorial notebook link will be linked here: https://github.com/milvus-io/bootcamp/tree/master/bootcamp

6+ years building AI and ML systems with math and coding. My mission is to help developers and customers use those tools (with fewer heartaches than I had teaching myself) to organize and search unstructured data, such as images, videos, texts, and audios, using LLM and multi-modal apps. I enjoy learning new technologies and tools and solving challenging problems with math and coding.As a Developer Advocate, I use my skills in Python, HuggingFace, PyTorch, Spark, RLlib, Ray distributed computing, and vector databases to create and share engaging and informative content, such as tutorials, demos, blogs, and talks. I also manage the Bay Area Unstructured Data meetup group, where I organize events and foster a community of enthusiasts and experts in the field.
Outside of work, I enjoy hiking and bird watching. In my background photo: Australian bustard, spotted near Cairns, Australia.
