We will discuss concepts such as embeddings and transformers and examine how probabilities and context help AI systems predict and generate text. We will also introduce retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), a method that combines language models with external sources of information to improve accuracy, provide context, and retrieve knowledge from documents and databases.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EJoin us as we explore how modern AI systems generate language and retrieve information.
