    Understanding Reranker Models With Sylvie Shi

    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.

    Training Retrieval Augmented Generation With Ola Piktus

    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.
