Tech Talk 1: Build an AI image search app using natural language with OpenAI CLIP model + Vector Search
Speaker: Erick Ramirez @DataStax
Abstract: ChatGPT opened the world to the significant advancement in natural language processing. ML models transform data objects such as text, images and videos into vector embeddings so we can retrieve them using natural language with vector search. In the second installment of this Generative AI series, we will build an AI app to find images in a vector database using text queries in plain English in literally just a few lines of code using OpenAI Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) model. We will go through the fundamental concepts of Generative AI, machine learning, large language models (LLMs), vector search and more in this live coding session so no prior knowledge is required even for those new to AI.
