Topic: Connecting your unstructured data with Generative AI

What we’ll do:
Have some food and refreshments. Hear three exciting talks about unstructured data and generative AI.

5:30 - 6:00 - Welcome/Networking/Registration
6:05 - 6:35 - Multimodal Search with Open-Source Tools, Stefan Webb, Zilliz
6:35 - 7:05 - thinkin' good with .txt and milvus, Cameron Pfiffer, Developer Relations Engineer, .txt
7:05 - 7:35 - BAML: Cheaper, faster, and more accurate function calling - without any fine-tuning, Vaibhav Gupta, BoundaryML
7:40 - 8:30 - Networking

Tech talk 1: Multimodal Search with Open-Source Tools
Speaker: Stefan Webb, DevRel, Zilliz
Abstract: A recent and exciting development in the world of Generative AI has been the use of language to understand images, video, and sound. One example is multi-modal retrieval, which is the process of using one modality, like text, to search another modality, like images. It is not only useful for search engines across media types, but also for grounding LLMs in factual data and reducing hallucinations. In this talk, I explain how to build a simple but performant multi-modal retrieval pipeline using completely open-source tools and models: the vector database Milvus and HuggingFace libraries for modeling and data. I discuss techniques to use multimodal retrieval most effectively and increase recall, as well as some interesting and diverse industry applications.

Tech Talk 2: thinkin' good with .txt and milvus
Speaker: Cameron Pfiffer, .txt
Abstract: I'll showcase a simple agent & RAG system using .txt and milvus!

Tech Talk 3: BAML: Cheaper, faster, and more accurate function calling - without any fine-tuning
Speaker: Vaibhav Gupta, CEO, BoundaryML
Abstract: We'll share techniques for building agents that require function calling and how BAML, our new programming language, helps with that while providing a great developer experience.

Who Should attend:
Anyone interested in talking and learning about Unstructured Data and Generative AI Apps.

When:
October 15, 2024
5:30PM
