Diving into Large Language Models by Anton Vidishchev

GPT, PaLM, Alpaca, Falcon, Vicuna, Claude or something else? 7b, 70b, or 1.7t parameters? Can I host it locally? There's a lot of questions about these models.

We will discuss the overall architecture, the way they are trained, and overall landscape of the LLMs available in the wild.

You'll have a much better understanding of what to consider for a particular task.

Anton works as a lead architect in Capgemini Engineering. He has over 20 years of experience in software development, mostly specializing in Microsoft technologies and Azure. Lately he is one of the drivers of applying GenAI in Enterprise projects. He is also a passionate conference speaker and one of the organizers of Odesa .NET Community.

Topic: 

Example of how to bring GenAI RAG architecture to production.

We are going to dive a bit into a world of Gen AI, get familiar with main concepts and in detail will look at RAG architecture as one of popular approaches in the field. I'm going to show you an example of a production ready web API application based on python library FastAPI that implements RAG architecture as well all software engineering best practices. We will currently touch hyped frameworks and technologies such as Llama-Index, Langchain and GPT, Microsoft Semantic Kernel. Im happy to answer all questions.

Speaker:

Alexander Demchuk, Solution Architect AWS/ Gen AI at Provectus



Topic: 
Investing into clean architecture 

Software engineering has no single solution to all problems. But we have multiple principles that can be used to find the right solution. We will dive into the way of building the right architecture and what we should pay attention on to make things reliable and effective.

Building an architecture for a modern GenAI Application by Anton Vidishchev

GenAI apps are hyping, but in many cases it is not clear how to combine different best practices to build a proper architecture.

We will look into the architecture of a hackathon-winning project, Quizzilicious.com, and discuss how to put together various must-have practices, such as metaprompting, retrieval-augmented generation, responsible AI, and some others. This includes looking into the infrastructure and project code!

1) Secure your app in under 60 minutes. By Anton Boyko

The war started unexpectedly, and many web apps were unprepared for that. While soldiers were fighting in the physical world, the hackers were fighting in the cyber world.

This session is based on my experience during the first days of the war. A non-commercial organization reached out to me asking to protect their web app, their users, and their data from cyber invaders.

So, what can you do in 60 minutes working on the mobile internet from the basement while missiles fly over your head?

Anton Boyko - 20 years in IT industry. Worked as Developer, DevOps and Architect. Participated in global worldwide projects with millions of users load. Currently occupies the role of the Chief Infrastructure Officer at Perfection.DEV.

2) Deceptive Opinion Spam Detection with Azure Machine Learning. By Alibek Jakupov.

Deceptive Opinion Spam commonly takes the form of fake reviews (negative or positive) posted by a malicious web user to hurt or inflate a company’s image. As these reviews have been deliberately written to deceive the reader, human reviewers are faring little better than a chance in detecting these deceptive statements. Thus, there is a dire need to address this issue as extracting text patterns from the fraudulent texts with meaningful substructures still remains a challenge. In our presentation, to obtain a deeper understanding of how lies are expressed in texts, we we constructed several models with Azure ML to learn the patterns that constitute a fake review, and then explore the outputs of this model to identify those patterns. As the linguistic cues of the lies are still unknown, a key advantage of out approach is that we make the representations more interpretable and provide additional opportunities to reveal the patterns and structures within the systems of documents.
