Foundations of AI: Deep Dive into Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
2026-05-28 15:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | via Zoom
This brief course will take what we’ve learned in the Intro to Generative AI (or Accelerated GenAI) course and go deeper in the world of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. You’ll learn to upgrade your RAG with query rewriting, reranking, citation generation, and more sophisticated evaluation tools. We’ll also touch on agentic RAG. You should come out of this class with the tools to make a more sophisticated RAG system. It is strongly suggested to have knowledge of Generative AI and Python coding, NLP is useful but not required.
Prerequisites: Intermediate Python skills, knowledge of generative AI may be useful but is not required.
