What we’re about
PyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States. PyData provides a forum for the international community of users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. The global PyData network promotes discussion of best practices, new approaches, and emerging technologies for data management, processing, analytics, and visualization. PyData communities approach data science using many languages, including (but not limited to) Python, Julia, and R.

18:30 Finetuning Embedding Models Locally: Building an AI Data product without having to ask your IT Department
Dilovan Celik, Data Engineer and ML HobbyistLLMs show great potential to generate value across many industries. However open source algorithms might be too general, and training your own model can be very resource-intensive. This talk will be a guide on how to fine-tune an embedding model for building a RAG setup. It will cover several techniques, making building your own AI powered data products less resource intensive.
19:10 They level up RAG systems with this one weird trick. VectorDB companies hate them!
Jakob Pörschmann, AI & ML Customer Engineer - Google AISimple RAG works well for some cases, but quickly fails if queries turn to be more complex. Enter Graph RAG, a powerful extension that leverages knowledge graphs the real world relationships of the underlying data to produce more meaningful answers. We'll explore the key steps of a Graph RAG pipeline, including graph extraction, community detection, and community report generation, and discuss how these techniques empower LLMs to answer "global" questions that traditional RAG struggles with. We'll also examine practical considerations, such as storage options and optimization strategies for efficiency and scalability.
