Tech Talk: Multimodal Embeddings
Speaker: Frank Liu (Zilliz)
Abstract: Embeddings are crucial for analyzing unstructured data. While predominantly used for text, their application across various modalities is expanding. This shift is driven by the transition to large multimodal models (e.g., GPT-4o) and the increased adoption of applications involving recommendation and semantic search. In this talk, we'll dive into the evolution of vector embeddings, from early handcrafted features to modern multimodal embeddings. We'll end the talk with a brief demo of multimodal RAG using embeddings from three different modalities of data - images, audio, and text.

Tech Talk: How to choose a Vector DB
Speaker: Dhruv Anand (AI Northstar Tech)
Abstract: In this session, I'll go through all the features of a Vector DB that a developer should check before using it in their AI project.
