🎤 Gireesh Ramji, Founding Collaborator @ Flectere (www.flectere.net)
Talk Title: Thinking in graphs to harness human expertise - Conversational Exploration of Flectere’s Expert Network of Adaptive Transfer Learners
Talk Summary: In this talk, I will demonstrate how Flectere’s expert network can harness the power of RAGs, LLMs and Graph DBs to provide timely, yet accurate responses to customer research requests. The streamlit app, built by a Flectere Launch & Repair squad, indexes a small dataset with information about Flectere network expertise into Neo4J. goes on to facilitate conversational exploration of this dataset to simulate the response to a customer research prompt. We use Hamilton and Burr to manifest the conversational workflow. We also take the newly open sourced GraphRAG library for a spin and validate how it may work with our existing toolkit.
