HH DS + ML Meetup at Google

Welcome to the 2025 version of our Data Science + Machine Learning Meetup Hamburg!

I'm super excited that thanks to Christoph Best we are able to host at the Google headquarter in Hamburg again.

We will have 2 talks again - one of them featuring RAG for a personal knowledge base.

IMPORTANT: The event location requires your first and last name. If you don't enter that, then at the event date you will have a very complicated procedure to get your entry name tag, so I strongly advise you to enter it up front.

Speakers:

• Adrian Baetu, CEO Nordwind KI & Medien GmbH 🔗 LinkedIn
  From Paper to RAG Assistant: Chat-Based Document Management

We all know the problem:
📂 Documents are scanned, filed, structured - and yet it takes forever to find the right one.
❌ Classic folder systems are reaching their limits.
But what if all of this were no longer necessary?
🔥 What if AI understands our documents in such a way that we only ask questions - and get answers?
In my talk, we will delve into exactly this exciting future scenario:
💡 RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) - How AI not only stores documents, but uses them!
📄 From paper directly to the AI ​​assistant - No more tedious sorting.
🤖 Vector databases, knowledge graphs & more - The technology behind smart document management.
I will show how chat-based document management can radically change the way you work.
