      From Model to Market: Mastering MLOps for Effective Deployment

      To deliver value with machine learning, models need to be deployed and incorporated into end-to-end applications. This requires data science teams to dive into the world of engineering and further incorporate operational processes to build reliable and maintainable products. Dive with Anika into the world of MLOps to learn how to bridge the gap between great ML models and delivering business value faster.

      Bridging Languages: Developing Bilingual Embedding Models for Real-World Applications

      Text embeddings are a way to turn text into a form that computers can understand, essentially converting text into a series of numbers, so that similar words have similar representations, making it easier for machines to recognize relationships and meanings in language. We trained bilingual text embedding models and published our German-English bilingual model in January 2024. In this talk we will cover the data preparation, training details and procedure, and how this model can be used in the real world. More specifically, we show how our bilingual model integrates with Llamaindex in a hands-on demo of a RAG pipeline.
