Keynote - Building and Productionizing RAG
12-06, 15:00–16:00 (UTC), Data Track

Large Language Models (LLMs) are revolutionizing how users can search for, interact with, and generate new content. Some recent stacks and toolkits around Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and agents, enabling users to build applications such as chatbots using LLMs on their private data. In this talk we do a comprehensive survey of both basic and advanced RAG techniques. We show you what RAG is and how to setup a simple version. We show you how to evaluate and optimize RAG systems. We then talk on advanced concepts (agents, fine-tuning), and help you think about how to build a full-stack LLM app.


This is the keynote by Jerry Liu
