Build & Learn: From Data Science to AI Engineering Week 4
About the event
We are moving to Luma, check out our future events [there](https://luma.com/d7lm90gu)!
📅 Week 4: Connect AI to your data with RAG
This event is part of our seven-week AI Engineering program, where we build an end-to-end AI application step by step and present our finished projects during Demo Day in Week 7.
This week, we’ll work through the key layers of a modern AI application:
• Learn how to chunk documents and create embeddings. • Use a vector database such as [pgvector](https://youtu.be/hAdEuDBN57g). • Build an [ingestion pipeline](https://youtu.be/9lBTS5dM27c) to embed and store documents. • Implement similarity search and [hybrid search](https://youtu.be/TbtBhbLh0cc). • Learn to evaluate retrieval quality and identify failure cases.
By the end of the 7 week cycle, you should have a working AI application in your own GitHub repository and practical experience with AI pipelines, APIs, databases, retrieval, evaluation and deployment. You are welcome to follow the shared project or apply the weekly concepts to your own project.
✨ Who is this for? Anyone interested in transitioning towards AI engineering. No previous LLM or AI engineering experience is required. However, I recommend some basic programming experiences or be to help with your first build session.
