New short course on Building Applications with Vector Databases, taught by Pinecone’s Tim Tully! At the heart of a vector database is the ability to store a collection of vectors and then query against that, meaning input a new vector and find similar ones. This is useful for many AI applications. In this course, you'll learn how to use vector databases to build: (i) Semantic Search: Create a text search tool that goes beyond keyword matching, and instead focuses on the meaning of content. (ii) RAG (retrieval augmented generation): Enhance your LLM output by incorporating context from sources the model wasn't trained on. (iii) Recommender System: Combine semantic search and RAG to recommend topics, and demonstrate it with a news article recommender. (iv) Hybrid Search: Build an application that finds items using both images and descriptive text -- by combining both sparse and dense vector representations of the data -- using an eCommerce dataset as an example. (v) Image Similarity: Use image vector embeddings to create an app to compare facial features, using a database of public figures to determine the likeness between them. (vi) Anomaly Detection: Build an anomaly detection app that identifies unusual patterns in network communication logs. I hope you’ll enjoy learning how to build all these types of applications!

New short course on advanced retrieval for RAG (retrieval augmented generation)! RAG fetches relevant documents to give context to an LLM. In Advanced Retrieval for AI with Chroma, taught by Chroma founder anton 🇺🇸, you’ll learn: (i) Query expansion using an LLM to rewrite and improve a query, by either generating either additional relevant queries or a hypothetical answer to the query. (ii) Reranking using a cross-encoder - a model trained to measure similarity between two inputs presented simultaneously. Reranking reorders retrieved documents based on the cross-encoder similarity measure. (iii) Constructing and training an Embedding Adaptor, which is a model that adapts the embedding values to be more relevant to your use case. Each of these techniques can help you build much better RAG systems. Please sign up for the course here:

Announcing a new Coursera course: Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) You'll learn to build high performance, production-ready RAG systems in this hands-on, in-depth course created by and taught by , experienced AI and ML engineer, researcher, and educator. RAG is a critical component today of many LLM-based applications in customer support, internal company Q&A systems, even many of the leading chatbots that use web search to answer your questions. This course teaches you in-depth how to make RAG work well. LLMs can produce generic or outdated responses, especially when asked specialized questions not covered in its training data. RAG is the most widely used technique for addressing this. It brings in data from new data sources, such as internal documents or recent news, to give the LLM the relevant context to private, recent, or specialized information. This lets it generate more grounded and accurate responses. In this course, you’ll learn to design and implement every part of a RAG system, from retrievers to vector databases to generation to evals. You’ll learn about the fundamental principles behind RAG and how to optimize it at both the component and whole-system levels. As AI evolves, RAG is evolving too. New models can handle longer context windows, reason more effectively, and can be parts of complex agentic workflows. One exciting growth area is Agentic RAG, in which an AI agent at runtime (rather than it being hardcoded at development time) autonomously decides what data to retrieve, and when/how to go deeper. Even with this evolution, access to high-quality data at runtime is essential, which is why RAG is a key part of so many applications. You'll learn via hands-on experiences to: - Build a RAG system with retrieval and prompt augmentation - Compare retrieval methods like BM25, semantic search, and Reciprocal Rank Fusion - Chunk, index, and retrieve documents using a Weaviate vector database and a news dataset - Develop a chatbot, using open-source LLMs hosted by Together AI, for a fictional store that answers product and FAQ questions - Use evals to drive improving reliability, and incorporate multi-modal data RAG is an important foundational technique. Become good at it through this course! Please sign up here:

New short course: Building Multimodal Search and RAG", by Weaviate AI Database's Sebastia(N_) Witalec ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿. Contrastive learning is used to train models to map vectors into an embedding space by pulling similar concepts closer together and pushing dissimilar concepts away from each other. This technique is also used to train multimodal embedding models that capture semantic similarity across different modalities like text, images, and audio. These multimodal embeddings can be used to build multimodal search and RAG systems. In this course, you'll learn how contrastive learning works, and how to add multimodality to RAG – so your models can draw on diverse, relevant context to answer questions. For example, a query about a financial report might synthesize information from text snippets, graphs, tables, and slides. You will also learn how visual instruction tuning lets you integrate image understanding into language models, and build a multi-vector recommender system using Weaviate’s open-source vector database.

Traditional (SQL) databases rely primarily on keyword-based searches to retrieve information. These searches match the exact words or phrases in your query to the text stored in the database. While effective for many applications, this method has limitations when it comes to understanding context or finding relevant information that doesn’t include the exact keywords. Hybrid search combines the strengths of traditional keyword-based BM25 search with the advanced capabilities of semantic search. To effectively implement a hybrid search, a vector database is essential. Vector databases go beyond just words; they understand the meaning behind the data. They transform data such as text, images, or audio into numerical representations called vectors. These vector embeddings enable the database to find similar items, even if they don't share exact keywords. When you integrate hybrid search with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, you can achieve higher accuracy in retrieved context and better output in generated responses.

Tokenization -- turning text into a sequence of integers -- is a key part of generative AI, and most API providers charge per million tokens. How does tokenization work? Learn the details of tokenization and RAG optimization in Retrieval Optimization: From Tokenization to Vector Quantization, created in collaboration with Qdrant and taught by its Developer Relations Lead, Kacper Łukawski. This course focuses on Retrieval augmented generation (RAG), which has two steps: First, a retriever finds relevant information; then, the generator uses what’s retrieved as context to produce a response. You’ll learn to optimize the first step (the retriever) by understanding how tokenization works and how it impacts the relevance of your search. In addition, you will also learn to measure and improve retrieval quality, speed, and memory. In detail, you’ll: - Learn about the internal workings of the embedding models and how your text turns into vectors. - Understand how several tokenizers, such as Byte-Pair Encoding, WordPiece, Unigram, and SentencePiece work. - Explore common challenges with tokenizers, such as unknown tokens, domain-specific identifiers, and numerical values, that can negatively affect your vector search. - Understand how to measure the quality of your search across relevance, ranking, and score-related metrics. - Understand how the main parameters in "HNSW", a graph-based algorithm, affect the relevance and speed of vector search, and how to tune its parameters. - Experiment with the three major quantization methods – product, scalar, and binary – and learn how they impact memory requirements, search quality, and speed. By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid understanding of how tokenization functions and how to optimize vector search in your RAG systems. Please sign up here!

New course announcement: Semantic Caching for AI Agents, taught by Tyler Hutcherson and Iliya Zhechev from Redis. Semantic caching can significantly reduce your AI application's inference costs and latency. If someone asks "How do I get a refund?" and another later asks "I want my money back," semantic caching recognizes these mean the same thing so it can use a cached response instead of making another model call. This short course takes you from building your first semantic cache from scratch to implementing production-ready systems using Redis' open-source tools. Skills you'll gain: - Build semantic caches from scratch, then implement them using Redis' SDK with production features - Measure cache performance using hit rate, precision, recall, and latency - Enhance accuracy with threshold tuning, cross-encoders, LLM validation, and fuzzy matching Join and learn to reduce your agentic AI's costs and improve speed!

Skills you'll gain: - Build semantic caches from scratch, then implement them using Redis' SDK with production features - Measure cache performance using hit rate, precision, recall, and latency - Enhance accuracy with threshold tuning, cross-encoders, LLM validation, and fuzzy matching Join and learn to reduce your agentic AI's costs and improve speed!

Traditional data pipelines don't work for RAG applications. There are 3 issues with them: ​ 1. Traditional data engineering solutions are optimized to handle structured data. RAG applications rely primarily on unstructured data. ​ 2. The connector ecosystem to load data from unstructured data sources is very immature. ​ 3. Traditional solutions do not offer any way to transform unstructured data into an optimized vector search index. ​ The goal of a RAG Pipeline is to solve these problems. ​ The number one objective is to create a reliable vector search index using factual knowledge and relevant context. This sounds easy, but it's one of the biggest challenges we face when building RAG applications. ​ At a high level, there are four different stages in the architecture of a RAG pipeline: ​ 1. Ingestion: Here is where the pipeline loads the information from the data source. ​ 2. Extraction: Where the pipeline processes the input data and decides how to retrieve the text contained inside them. ​ 3. Transform: Where the pipeline chunks the data and generates document embeddings. ​ 4. Load: Where the pipeline creates a search index in a vector database and loads the document embeddings. ​ There are different rabbit holes at each one of these stages. Here are three of them: ​ 1. Ingesting data once is simple. The hard part is refreshing the vector database whenever the original data source changes. ​ 2. Extracting the content of a plain text document is simple. The hard part is to extract content from complex documents containing tables, images, or cross-references. ​ 3. A simple continual chunking strategy with an overlap is simple. The hard part is to find the optimal strategy for your specific knowledge base and the way you are planning to query it. ​ In the attached video, I'll show you how you can build an enterprise-grade RAG Pipeline that solves every one of the above problems. ​ I'll use Vectorize. They partnered with me on this post. You can use them to build RAG pipelines optimized for accurate context retrieval. ​ ​ If you have a few documents lying around, set up a free account and give it a try.

Our first Generative AI short course in JavaScript! GitHub recently reported that JavaScript is again the world’s most popular programming language. To support web developers exploring and developing with generative AI, we just launched a new short course in JavaScript taught by Jacob Lee, founding engineer at . In ​​Build LLM Apps with LangChain.js you’ll learn elements common in AI development, including: (i) Using data loaders to pull data from common sources such as PDFs, websites, and databases (ii) Prompts, which are used to provide the LLM context (iii) Modules to support RAG such as text splitters and integrations with vector stores (iv) Working with different models to write applications that are not vendor-specific (v) Parsers, which extract and format the output for your downstream code to process You’ll also build with the LangChain Expression Language, which lets you easily compose sequences (also called chains) of modules to perform complex tasks using LLMs. Putting all this together, you’ll also work on a conversational question-answering LLM application capable of using external data as context.
