Explore the challenges and solutions of scaling ML/AI applications in industry through this 56-minute webinar focused on practical implementations using Weaviate. Dive into how ML/AI powers critical systems like secure internal search, recommendation engines, and e-commerce platforms, with special attention to Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Learn the architectural foundations and development process through live demonstrations, including an exploration of the open-source RAG tool Verba. Discover emerging trends in AI systems, including AI agents and Generative Flow Learning (GFL), while gaining valuable insights into common implementation pitfalls. Starting with foundational concepts of vector embeddings and vector search, progress through advanced topics like hybrid search, query augmentation, and decision trees. Get hands-on exposure to agentic architectures through the Elysia framework demonstration and understand the future trajectory of AI applications at scale.
