Paris Women in Machine Learning & Data Science 2024-02-07 · 18:00 The Women in Machine Learning & Data Science (WiMLDS) Meetup aims to inspire, educate, regardless of gender, and support women and gender minorities in the field. We are back for our 46th edition, are you ready to get all the answers about data science? All genders may attend our meetups. Agenda --- 19:00 - Launch of the evening by the Paris WiMLDS meetup team --- 19:15 - Optimizing GenAI Applications: Evaluation in Retrieval-Augmented Generation by Nour El Mawass, GenAI's group Tech Lead & Maria Knorps, Senior Data Engineer @Tweag Abstract: Nour and Maria present the work they did at Tweag, Modus Create innovation arm, where the GenAI team developed an evaluation framework for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. RAG systems provide an easy and low-cost way to extend the knowledge of Large Language Models (LLMs) but measuring their performance is not an easy task. The presentation will review existing evaluation frameworks, ranging from those based on the traditional ML approach of using groundtruth datasets, including Tweag's, to those that use LLMs to compute evaluation metrics. It will also delve into the practical implementation of Tweag's chatbot over two distinct documents datasets and provide insights on chunking, embedding and how open source and commercial LLMs compare.
