Heya everyone,

After 4 years, we're really excited to announce that PyData is back in Lisbon! We're rebooting the series with a special edition dedicated to, surprise surprise, Generative AI. As usual, we're going to have two presentations and lots of time for pizza, drinks, and networking. Check below for a sneak peek on the presentations 👇

Trends and Challenges in LLM Systems - Telmo Felgueira
Having had the chance to collaborate with multiple startups looking to incorporate generative AI into their products, Telmo will share with us the key trends and challenges encountered when developing real-world LLM systems. This presentation will provide an overview of conventional LLM applications, including Data Extraction, Content Generation, and RAG systems. Additionally, it will delve into under-discussed areas like evaluating and monitoring LLM systems, and explore the exciting frontier of LLMs applied beyond the realm of natural language, venturing into biological domains such as proteins and DNA.
