[RCAC Workshop]Advanced RAG & Vector Databases

📅 Date: November 20th, 2026 ⏰ Time: 11AM-12PM 💻 Location: Virtual 🏫 Instructor: Mansi Sharma

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become the standard approach for grounding LLMs in external, up-to-date, or proprietary knowledge — but building a RAG system that performs well in production requires far more than a basic retrieve-and-generate pipeline. This session goes beyond RAG fundamentals to cover advanced retrieval strategies, vector database architecture, and the design tradeoffs that determine whether a RAG system is accurate, fast, and scalable. Participants will explore chunking strategies, embedding model selection, hybrid search, re-ranking, and how different vector databases handle indexing and retrieval at scale — all through conceptual explanation, architecture diagrams, and real-world case studies.
