AI Meetup (October): AI, GenAI and LLMs 2024-10-17 · 21:30 Important RSVP here (Due to room capacity and building security, you must pre-register at the link for admission.) Description: Welcome to our in-person AI meetup in New York. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and ML, hands-on workshops, food/drink, networking with speakers and fellow developers. Speakers/Topics: Stay tuned as we are updating speakers and schedules. If you have a keen interest in speaking to our community, we invite you to submit topics for consideration: Submit Topics Tech Talk: Unleashing Data Magic: Vector Databases and RAG Demystified Speaker: Art Anderson (Aerospike) Abstract: Dive into the world of vector databases and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) as we explore how we built a practical application and the challenges we faced. Discover how semantic search can enrich data, enabling recommendation engines, fraud detection, and more. Learn how these technologies can fit into your current applications and data, sparking new ideas for innovation. Tech Talk: Step-by-Step RAG 101 Speaker: Tim Spann (Zilliz) Abstract: In this tutorial, we describe and show every step in building your own local RAG application using Milvus, LangChain, Ollama and Llama 3.x. At the end of the talk, you will have a working RAG application. We will also cover tips and techniques to upgrade to more advanced RAG apps. Tech Talk: Generative AI Orchestration: Unlocking Creative Potential Speaker: Ram Durbha (Orkes) Abstract: Managing complex workflows in autonomous systems poses significant challenges as they scale. This talk explores strategies for optimizing agent-based architectures, where multiple agents interact and adapt in dynamic environments. Key topics include: 1) Distributed decision-making and coordination; 2) Bottlenecks; 3) Adaptive workflow reconfiguration and resilience; and 4) Real-world applications. Sponsors: We are actively seeking sponsors to support our community. Whether it is by offering venue spaces, providing food/drink, or cash sponsor. Sponsors will not only speak at the meetups, receive prominent recognition, but also gain exposure to our extensive membership base of 20,000+ AI developers in New York or 400K+ worldwide.

AI Meetup (October): GenAI, LLMs and ML 2024-10-07 · 16:00 RSVP here (Due to room capacity and venue security, it is required to pre-register at the link for admission) Welcome to the monthly AI meetup in Berlin. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and machine learning, networking with speakers and fellow developers. Agenda:** * 6:00pm\~7:00pm: Checkin and networking * 7:00pm\~9:00pm: Tech talks and Q&A * 9:00pm: Open discussion and Mixer Tech Talk: One Year of Hey_: From Chatbot to Real-Time Answering Machine Speaker: Till Kolter (AS Digital) Abstract: In this talk, we’ll explore the journey of "Hey_", Germany's largest chatbot, as it celebrates its first go-live anniversary. While Hey_ has mostly gained positive feedback, we’ve had our share of surprises—like the time a bug caused it to tell users to die. Although it wasn't funny at the time, it eventually became a source of great laughter once we understood what went wrong. We’ll dive into how our innovative content management system has empowered editors to create unique, LLM-powered experiences beyond basic chatbot interactions—covering everything from interactive guidebooks to real-time information powered by Retrieval-Augmentation Generation (RAG). Along the way, we’ve transformed Hey_ into a reliable answering machine backed by journalistic content and web sources, while still facing the challenge of driving organic user engagement. Tech Talk: Evaluating a real world LLM application Speaker: Tanuj Jain (Axel Springer NMT) Abstract: Evaluating LLM-based applications in real-world scenarios is challenging, not only due to the lack of a definitive ground truth but also because it's often hard to choose from among a myriad evaluation methodologies and metrics. These complexities are often compounded by a lack of awareness regarding the critical importance of rigorous evaluation, particularly among those unfamiliar with AI development process. This talk will showcase a collaborative evaluation approach, where journalists, AI researchers, and developers collaborate to create a reliable evaluation strategy for a real world LLM-based chatbot used by millions of users daily. The application under evaluation uses state-of-the-art LLMs and employs a design that resembles a modern day LLM app stack involving RAG, caching, etc. making the evaluation methodology applicable for a wide variety of LLM based applications in the wild.engagement.
