Talk 1: Elastic 101 - Who we are and what we do, presented by David Cupitt, Principal Solutions Architect at Elastic

Talk 2: Building GenAI RAG solution using Elasticsearch, presented by Banjo Donila, Senior Solutions Architect at Elastic

Embark on a journey to understand the construction of a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) application powered by Elasticsearch and Large Language Models (LLMs). This exploration begins with traditional keyword-based search, advancing to sophisticated vector search techniques that enhance contextual understanding. By integrating hybrid search and Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF), we leverage both conventional and modern search methods, culminating in a robust Natural Language Processing (NLP) capability. The pinnacle of this integration is the RAG approach, where LLMs generate high-quality, contextually relevant text based on the information retrieved by Elasticsearch. This comprehensive overview includes essential considerations for operationalizing such an application, emphasizing performance monitoring, logging, and tracing. Discover how these advanced technologies can transform information retrieval and generation in a formal, streamlined approach.
