Details
** Important RSVP here (Due to room capacity and building security, you must pre-register at the link for admission)
Description:
Welcome to our in-person AI meetup in New York. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and ML, hands-on workshops, food/drink, networking with speakers and fellow developers.
Tech Talk: Doing RAG the right way! - Advanced RAG Techniques
Speaker: Zain Hasan (Weaviate)
Abstract: In this talk, I will present some of the latest advances in retrieval-augmented generation(RAG) techniques, which combine the strengths of both retrieval-based and generative approaches for chatbot development. Retrieval-based methods can leverage existing text documents to provide informative and coherent responses, while generative methods can produce novel and engaging conversations personalized to the user.
Tech Talk: Improving the Usefulness of LLMs with RAG
Speaker: Kristian Aune (vespa.ai)
Abstract: LLMs like GPT can give useful answers to many questions, but there are also well-known issues with their output: The responses may be outdated, inaccurate, or outright hallucinations, and it’s hard to know when you can trust them. And they don’t know anything about you or your organization private data (we hope). RAG can help reduce the problems with “hallucinated” answers, and make the responses more up-to-date, accurate, and personalized - by injecting related knowledge, including non-public data. In this talk, we’ll go through what RAG means, demo some ways you can implement it - and warn of some traps you still have to watch out for.
