Technical Tuesday: Large Language Models (LLM) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) Systems in Pharma
28 Nov 2023
5.30-6.30pm SGT | Online
The upcoming Tech Tuesday session on November 28 will explore the impact of Large Language Models (LLM) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems on the Pharma industry, emphasizing document access and knowledge retention.
The LLM domain is marked by a race between giants like ChatGPT and open-source models such as Llama and Falcon. This divide centers around the pursuit of democratized AI for broader access versus the market dominance of companies like OpenAI. Pharma companies face a hard choice. On one side the high-cost, advanced technology from entities like OpenAI/Microsoft, offering less transparency. On the other open-source options that, while less powerful, ensure data security and local control.
Adopting AI in document operations is essential, with non-adoption potentially leading to obsolescence in this fast-evolving field.
We will try to explore the pros and cons of each approach and explain why RAG is absolutely necessary if you want validated answers from your LLM's.
