Generative AI: Semantische Suche und LLMs Jenseits des Hello-World-RAG-Tutorials

Semantische Suche ist wohl das Paradebeispiel, um Generative AI mit eigenen Daten in eigene Businessanwendungen einzubinden. Mindestens eine Fantastilliarde Blogposts, YouTube-Tutorials und sonstige Artikel zeigen, wie man so etwas mit Large Language Models (LLMs) und Retrieval-augmented Generation (RAG) – offenbar sehr einfach – realisieren kann. Doch wie immer steckt der Teufel im Detail. In dieser Session führt Sie unser Experte Sebastian Gingter durch ein bisschen Theorie zu Vektoren und Embeddings, zeigt, was Vektordatenbanken leisten und was Splitting beim Erzeugen von Embeddings bedeutet. Worauf müssen wir beim Indizieren achten? Dabei buhlen die verschiedensten Tools wie LangChain, Azure Cognitive Search, Qdrant oder Chroma um unsere Aufmerksamkeit. Sehen Sie, wie man am Ende alle Schritte in der eigenen Applikation zu einem effizienten RAG-Prozess zusammenführt, der dann auch wirklich sinnvolle Antworten auf die Fragen der Benutzer zu den Daten und Dokumenten Ihrer Anwendung liefert.

Sebastian Gingter ist Consultant bei Thinktecture. Er ist Microsoft MVP und seine Spezialgebiete sind Generative AI im Businessumfeld sowie Backend-Systeme mit ASP.NET Core.

Data Access in .NET Native AOT with Sessions

.NET 8 brings Native AOT to ASP.NET Core, but many frameworks and libraries rely on unbound reflection internally and thus cannot support this scenario yet. This is true for ORMs, too: EF Core and Dapper will only bring full support for Native AOT in later releases. In this post, we will implement a database access layer with Sessions using the Humble Object pattern to get a similar developer experience. We will use Npgsql as a plain ADO.NET provider targeting PostgreSQL.

Integrating AI Power into Your .NET Applications with the Semantic Kernel Toolkit – an Early View

With the rise of powerful AI models and services, questions come up on how to integrate those into our applications and make reasonable use of them. While other languages like Python already have popular and feature-rich libraries like LangChain, we are missing these in .NET and C#. But there is a new kid on the block that might change this situation. Welcome Semantic Kernel by Microsoft!

.NET 7 Performance: Regular Expressions – Part 2

There is this popular quote by Jamie Zawinski: Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems."

In this second article of our short performance series, we want to look at the latter one of those problems.
