GenAI Learnathon: Enrich Data Analytics with GenAI in Cincinnati

This event is sponsored by KNIME and the University of Cincinnati’s Center for Business Analytics.

Learn how to enrich data analytics with GenAI without writing a line of code.

During this event, we will explore a fraud detection use case and we will exploit the multi-language capabilities of GenAI to automatically generate custom alert messages.

During this hands-on workshop you will get familiar with the free low-code tool KNIME Analytics Platform, techniques for fraud detection, and the use of GenAI via the KNIME AI Extension (Labs).

Completely new to KNIME? We’ve got you covered! We will start with an introduction to KNIME Analytics Platform, making it easy to follow along even for newbies!

Without any coding experience you will learn to:

• Detect frauds in investment contracts visually and using statistical techniques
• Prompt engineer an LLM via the OpenAI integration
• Create a vector store from a corpus of different types of investment contracts (the knowledge base)
• Build and deploy a data app to display email alerts and make it available to authenticated users on a web browser

Other KNIME AI integrations we will discuss include GPT4All, Hugging Face, Chroma, FAISS and more.
Please come prepared and bring your laptop with KNIME Analytics Platform and the KNIME AI Extension (Labs) already installed.

Please note if you want to join onsite, registration is mandatory.
