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.

Tech Talk: Unstructured Data and Vector Databases Speaker: Tim Spann (Zilliz) Abstract: In this session, I will discuss the unstructured data and the world of vector databases, we will see how they different from traditional databases. In which cases you need one and in which you probably don’t. I will also go over Similarity Search, where do you get vectors from and an example of a Vector Database Architecture. Wrapping up with an overview of Milvus.

Tech Talk: Tailoring Foundation Models for Generative AI Applications Speaker: Suman Debnath (AWS) Abstract: In this session, we will focus on fine-tuning, continuous pretraining, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to customize foundation models using Amazon Bedrock. Attendees will explore and compare strategies such as prompt engineering, which reformulates tasks into natural language prompts, and fine-tuning, which involves updating the model's parameters based on new tasks and use cases. The session will also highlight the trade-offs between usability and resource requirements for each approach. Participants will gain insights into leveraging the full potential of large models and learn about future advancements aimed at enhancing their adaptability.

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

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.

Welcome to the monthly AI meetup in Berlin, in collaboration with Publicis Sapient. 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: RAG Architecture – Arguments for it, and some key considerations Speaker: Samuel Clampitt (Publicis Sapient) Abstract: In the context of LLMs, everyone is talking about it – but what is Retrieval-Augmented-Architecture (RAG), and why and when does it make sense to use it? The talk will attempt to answer these questions, as well as present a practical case study. The talk will also include some key implementation considerations to the constituent parts of a RAG-using system and close with an outlook.

Tech Talk: Iterative RAG with LLM Tool Use: Enhancing AI's Capabilities Speaker: Joon-Pil Hwang (Weaviate) Abstract: Generative AI models now incorporate 'tool use' capabilities to interact with external functions, enhancing their power while maintaining important safeguards. In this talk, JP will explore the intersection of tool use with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) using Weaviate, a vector database. He'll share his experiences implementing this approach, discuss his key findings, and compare it to traditional RAG methods. Attendees will get first-hand impressions of his experience with this approach.

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

Sponsors: We are actively seeking sponsors to support AI developers community. Whether it is by offering venue spaces, providing food, or cash sponsorship. Sponsors will not only speak at the meetups, receive prominent recognition, but also gain exposure to our extensive membership base of 10,000+ AI developers in Berlin or 400K+ worldwide.

AGENDA

• 19:00-19:15 Networking over drinks

• 19:15-19:45 Everything you need to know about Google's new Generative AI platform / Gerard Sans

Generative AI has come a long way in the past few months. We all have seen chatbots doing things we couldn't have dreamt of a few years back. Generative AI is today able to process text, images, code and even speech in ways that can help users be more efficient and creative.

For Users, it can access a vast source of information to guide them at work and get more done faster. For Developers, it can explain code snippets, fix your code, help you navigate a new code base or even write tests! The possibilities are endless.

In this talk, you are going to learn about Google's new Generative AI platform Vertex AI, the latest tools (Generative AI Studio) and APIs to foundational models (PaLM2, Imagen, Codey and Chirp), just so you can start building AI-enabled Applications and powerful chatbots. AI's current progress and future is truly exciting!

• 19:45-20:00 Open Mic for hiring, cofounder searching, etc.

• 20:00-20:15 Break

• 20:15-20:45 Large Language Models: A New Era of Augmented Analytics / Paul Egorov

Have you ever seen futuristic films or TV series where humans speak or interact with business intelligence systems using natural language input or even hand gestures? It may have sounded like a dream until 2017 when Google released Cloud Speech-to-Text v1. This opened up a lot of possibilities for building augmented analytics in production. When I worked in consultancy, I built several commercial projects related to this. However, these systems were, to a large extent, rule-based.

Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have opened up a new era of augmented analytics. We not only know how to convert speech to text, but we can now convert text to code on a contextual level, and it actually works!

In this talk, I would like to elaborate more on the topic of augmented analytics, present a brief history of developments in this field's technical capabilities, share several projects I implemented in this area, and discuss how LLMs revolutionised this field

• 20:45-21:30 Networking
