Tech Talk: Doing RAG the right way! - Advanced RAG Techniques
Speaker: Zain Hasan (Weaviate)
Abstract: In this talk, I will present some of the latest advances in retrieval-augmented generation(RAG) techniques, which combine the strengths of both retrieval-based and generative approaches for chatbot development. Retrieval-based methods can leverage existing text documents to provide informative and coherent responses, while generative methods can produce novel and engaging conversations personalized to the user.
