RAG Forum: Networking & Exchange on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)

Technical meetup on developing and optimizing production-ready RAG systems, focusing on document processing, answer evaluation, and troubleshooting RAG pipelines.

The RAG Forum, organized by the AI Service Center Berlin-Brandenburg at the Hasso Plattner Institute, provides a space for technical exchange on the development and optimization of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems.

Many teams face similar challenges when bringing RAG applications into production. Which tools are suitable for document processing? How can the quality of generated answers be evaluated? And how can errors within a RAG pipeline be identified efficiently?

The forum encourages participants to share experiences, discuss technical challenges, and explore possible solutions together in an informal setting. The focus is on peer exchange and practical questions related to building reliable RAG systems.
