As a part of NYU's commitment to global inclusion, our events and initiatives are open to individuals of all backgrounds and identities.
In this tutorial, users will learn about Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and how it enhances AI models by combining external data retrieval with large language models (LLMs). They will explore the steps to build a RAG pipeline, including embedding text into vector representations, retrieving relevant context from databases, and augmenting prompts to generate accurate answers. The tutorial provides practical insights into when to use RAG over fine-tuning models and how to integrate this approach in building dynamic, context-aware AI solutions.
