About Event

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
