The Sandra Kublik Podcast Sandra Kublik

In this episode, I chat about rerankers and representation models with Sylvie Shi, Rerank Team Lead at Cohere. We cover the essentials of non-generative large language models, focusing on how reranking and representation models are upgrading search and advanced RAG systems.
Sylvie shares her journey into machine learning and her work on semantic search and rerankers. We chat about common use cases, good practices, and potential pitfalls when using reranking models, highlighting their application in advanced RAG systems.

In today's episode, I chat about retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with Ola Piktus, Member of Technical Staff at Cohere. With her roots in software engineering and significant contributions to RAG through her research, Ola has an interesting perspective on the evolution of RAG and the language technology landscape.
We cover a range of topics, including the potential of RAG to address model hallucination, the transition from theory to real-world application, and the balance between creativity and accuracy in AI models. Ola’s journey from software engineering to state-of-the-art research in AI is a rare glimpse into the development of language tech.

In this episode, I explore the depths of AI safety and bias with Seraphina Goldfarb-Tarrant, Head of AI Safety at Cohere. We discuss mitigating AI risks, the impact of large language models on society, and the future of responsible AI development. Seraphina shares insights on participatory design, combating misinformation, and proactive steps toward safety for businesses deploying LLMs.
We also cover Seraphina's academic journey, her transition from neuroscience to studying ancient civilizations, becoming a professional sailor, her connection with nature and Zen practice, and her perception of language, mind, and AI.
