Session: An intro to Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
1 May 2026 11:30 AM | The Last Starfighter - Theatre 14 (12,13)
Track: Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
Learn to deliver AI search and Generative Answers on top of your unstructured data. RAG is easy to prototype but hard to run in production. In this session we’ll start with retrieval augmented generation basics by building a simple proof of concept. Then, we’ll compare solutions meant for scale with Agentic RAG, RAG Graph, and Entity Recognition. Throughout we’ll see examples of how RAG applies to modern app development.
