Tech Talk: Building an LLM agent to chat with the Berlin Parliament
Speaker: Stephen Batifol (Zilliz)
Abstract: Lot of things are happening in the Berlin Parliament and you might not be aware of it. By using LLMs and a Vector DB, I'll show you how you can chat and interact with the data of the Berlin Parliament.

Tech Talk: Improving the Usefulness of LLMs with RAG
Speaker: Kristian Aune (Vespa)
Abstract: LLMs like GPT can give useful answers to many questions, but there are also well-known issues with their output: The responses may be outdated, inaccurate, or outright hallucinations. And they don’t know anything about you or your organization private data (we hope). RAG can help reduce the problems with “hallucinated” answers, and make the responses more up-to-date, accurate, and personalized - by injecting related knowledge, including non-public data. In this talk, we’ll go through what RAG means, demo some ways you can implement it - and warn of some traps you still have to watch out for.

Tech Talk: Boosting Automation - An AI Engineer’s Open Source Toolbox
Speaker: Thomas Kranzkowski (CLOUDETEER)
Abstract: The world of data technologies and AI is moving faster and faster, which means that the profile of an AI engineer is constantly changing. Find out which open-source tools and skills you need to keep up with the times in this talk.
