Understanding and Using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) AI for Teaching and Research

Date: Monday, May 19

Time: 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Location: Butler Boardroom and virtually via Zoom (Join the zoom session)

Presenter: Derrick Cogburn (CTRL AI in Teaching & Research Faculty Fellow and Professor, SIS | Environment, Development & Health and KSB | Information Technology & Analytics)

In this session, we will focus on leveraging a category of GenAI tools called Retrieval Augmented Generative (RAG-AI) which enables the user to build a target set of documents to use as trusted sources for your LLM-based prompts, reduce hallucinations, and customize your experience. We will introduce a range of these RAG-AI tools that enable you to harness a graphical user interface (GUI), including NotebookLM, AI Studio, and LearnLM. The session includes an interactive hands-on workshop to develop and practice effective strategies for getting the most out of these RAG-AI tools.
