Tech Talk: Unstructured Data and Vector Databases
Speaker: Tim Spann (Zilliz)
Abstract: In this session, I will discuss the unstructured data and the world of vector databases, we will see how they different from traditional databases.

Tech Talk: Multimodal RAG with Bedrock
Speaker: Suman Debnath (AWS)
Abstract:In this hands-on session, participants will delve into the core concepts of handling multiple data modalities—such as text, images, and audio—within AI-driven systems. The session will guide attendees through building and implementing multimodal search, retrieval, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. Using Amazon Bedrock and OpenSearch, participants will explore practical solutions for real-world challenges, including question-answering and document analysis. By the end, attendees will have the skills to apply multimodal models, align embeddings, and design cutting-edge multimodal applications, such as video analysis and image captioning, leveraging advanced AI tools.
