Retrieval Augmented Generation: Making LLMs Context-Aware

Ever wondered how ChatGPT plugins work? Or how companies use LLMs with their private data? This workshop dives into Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), the technique powering context-aware AI applications.

Prerequisites

  • Basic understanding of LLMs and transformers
  • Familiarity with embeddings and vector databases
  • Basic Python programming knowledge
  • Previous workshops in the series recommended but not required

What You’ll Learn

  • Core RAG Components:

  • Document processing and chunking strategies

  • Vector stores and efficient retrieval

  • Prompt engineering for RAG

  • Practical Implementation:

  • Building a RAG pipeline from scratch

  • Integration with popular vector databases

  • Performance optimization

  • Evaluation metrics and testing

By Workshop’s End

You’ll gain the ability to:

  • Build end-to-end RAG systems
  • Choose appropriate retrieval strategies
  • Optimize RAG performance
  • Deploy production-ready RAG applications
