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 media. Whether it’s personalizing the shopping experience in real time or finding the next song to autoplay, this session will help you think beyond LLMs—and design retrieval-first GenAI systems that deliver real-world impact.
