Knowledge-BASED #7: GraphRAG edition
About us
Search is evolving fast; from new algorithms and tools to AI-driven solutions, the field is constantly shifting.
BASED Meetup is where professionals & enthusiasts discuss the latest trends, breakthroughs, and challenges in modern search.
We look into topics like:
- Agentic Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Memory & Search;
- Knowledge graphs & GraphRAG;
- Innovative approaches to retrieval;
- Modern metrics for search quality;
- Optimisation techniques for production-scale systems;
- Cross-lingual and multimodal search challenges;
… and much more.
No sales pitches, no gatekeeping; the goal is to have an open space to share ideas, learn from each other, and explore the technologies shaping the future of search!:)
What's new this time?
BASED #7 is our first themed edition, and the topic is GraphRAG (we finally got a hint after hearing about it non-stop at the last 2 meetups during networking times:D)
What does it mean? That we'll focus on graphs for knowledge retrieval and also that we'll have a special guest speaker, 🥁🥁🥁 Neo4j!:)
