Tech Talk: Data and model interaction - how GenAI apps are built
Speaker: Kristian Aune (Vespa ai)
Abstract: Models need up-to-date facts (data) to solve tasks. But data (retrieval) needs models, too: for semantic search and for ranking top candidates. At this meetup, we will go through the data/model interplay: you will learn how to transform problems into the numeric domain using tensors, and with this, work with text, image, and videos.
We’ll do live demos from e-commerce and life sciences. Whether it’s surfacing adverse event patterns in clinical trials or retrieving hidden risk signals from financial disclosures, this session will help you think beyond LLMs—and design retrieval-first GenAI systems that deliver real-world impact.

Tech Talk: How To Train Your AI Agent
Speaker: Andrei Radulescu-Banu (Analytiq Hub)
