Advanced Retrieval Strategies: Beyond Basic RAG

Description

​Join us at Agentic Engineering - Chicago for a presentation by Kevin Solorio on a practical deep dive into optimizing retrieval systems for RAG applications.

​While vector similarity search is a great starting point, real-world applications often need more sophisticated approaches to deliver accurate, relevant results.

​In this talk, we'll walk through a systematic approach to improving retrieval performance, starting with establishing evaluation criteria and baselines, then exploring various optimization strategies.

​The Event is hosted at the Old Post Office

​433 W Van Buren St. Chicago, IL 60607
