Welcome to the Berlin AI Meetup: AICamp Edition by GetYourGuide 🚀
Curious about the practical implications of AI in the tech industry? Join us to learn how companies across the globe—and we at GetYourGuide—use AI in Production.
In our fourth meetup, we're focusing on the hands-on applications of AI in the industry.
This meetup is relevant to ML and AI practitioners, but we invite anyone passionate about AI and ML to join us at our office in Prenzlauer Berg. You can expect great talks, pizza, drinks, and networking with people building with AI in Berlin.
Talk # 1: Enhancing Personalization with Real-Time ML: Activity Ranking at GetYourGuide
Speaker: Mihail Douhaniaris, Senior Data Scientist - GetYourGuide
Discover how GetYourGuide personalizes user experiences using real-time machine learning. Learn how we evolved our ranking infrastructure from full batch pipelines to real-time feature generation and serving, ensuring personalized and relevant activity recommendations for millions of users daily. Gain insights into the critical role of feature stores in maintaining accurate data and the importance of model observability in detecting and addressing data drift.
Talk # 2: Vector DB companies hate this trick! Why Graph RAG is superior, where to start and what it costs.
Speaker: Jakob Pörschmann, Customer Engineer - Google Cloud
Text embeddings are a fantastic tool to manage and find knowledge. But have you ever asked your RAG system a question that requires aggregating multiple topics and semantic concepts? Your experience was probably quite frustrating. Graph RAG to the rescue!
In this talk, we will find out whether text embedding RAG is actually dead. We will explore Graph RAG's advantages and disadvantages. Let’s also discuss implementation strategies and compare costs and build your understanding so you know where to get started.
Talk # 3: Introduction to Causal AI
Speaker: Luyolo Magangane, Senior Machine Learning Engineer - HelloFresh
A practical causal framework blending expert domain knowledge and causal graphs.
We’ll walk through applying the framework in enabling customers to safely tweak business objective parameters when using machine learning applications.
