Overview

Get ready to put all your gen AI engineering skills into practice! This guided project will test and apply the knowledge and understanding youve gained throughout the previous courses in the program. You will build your own real-world gen AI application. During this course, you will fill the final gaps in your knowledge to extend your understanding of document loaders from LangChain. You will then apply your new skills to uploading your own documents from various sources. Next, you will...

Syllabus

Document Loader Using LangChain

In this module, you will learn all about document loaders from LangChain and then use that knowledge to load your document from various sources. You will also explore the various text splitting strategies with RAG and LangChain and apply them to enhance model responsiveness. Hands-on labs will provide you an opportunity to practice loading documents as well as implement the text-splitting techniques you have learned.

RAG Using LangChain

In this module, you will learn how to store embeddings using a vector store and how to use Chroma DB to save embeddings. Youll gain insights into LangChain retrievers like the Vector Store-Based, Multi-Query, Self-Query, and Parent Document Retriever. In hands-on labs, youll prepare and preprocess documents for embedding and use watsonx.ai to generate embeddings for your documents. Youll use vector databases such as Chroma DB and FAISS to store embeddings generated from textual data using LangChain. Finally, youll use various retrievers to efficiently extract relevant document segments from text using LangChain.

Create a QA Bot to Read Your Document

In this module, you will learn how to implement RAG to improve retrieval. You will become familiar with Gradio and how to set up a simple Gradio interface to interact with your models. You will also learn how to construct a QA bot to answer questions from loaded documents using LangChain and LLMs. Using hands-on labs, you will have the opportunity to practice setting up a Gradio interface, as well as constructing a QA bot. In the final project, you will build an AI application using RAG and LangChain.
