In the rapidly evolving landscape of agentic systems, memory management has emerged as a key pillar for building intelligent, context-aware AI Agents. Inspired by the complexity of human memory systems—such as episodic, working, semantic, and procedural memory—this…

In this talk, we examine the state-of-the-art in AI-powered search and retrieval. We detail techniques for enhancing performance beyond base embedding models, including hybrid search, reranking strategies, query decomposition and document enrichment, the…

The talk will have three parts
1.Roadmap debate: RAG vs. finetuning vs. long-context
2.RAG today: benefits, challenges, and current solutions
3.RAG tomorrow: AI models do more work

Open weights models and open source inference servers have made massive strides in the year since we last got together at AIE World's Fair.

Where once we had only pirated LLaMA 2 weights and Transformers, we now have an embarrassment of riches. In fact,…

This workshop offers a hands-on introduction to developing Large Language Model (LLM)-powered AI agents using Microsoft’s Azure AI Agent Service. Participants will build a conversational agent capable of analyzing sales data, generating visualizations, and…

As AI agents transition from experimental assistants to critical components of enterprise workflows, reliably evaluating their performance becomes essential. But how do you systematically measure an AI agent’s capabilities, contextual understanding, and accuracy…

GitHub Copilot's agentic capabilities enhance its ability to act as a peer programmer. From the IDE to the repository, Copilot can generate code, run tests, and perform tasks like creating pull requests using Model Context Protocol (MCP). This instructor…

In the age of autonomous AI agents, ensuring their safety and reliability is paramount. But how can we proactively uncover vulnerabilities before they impact real-world scenarios? Enter Azure AI Evaluation SDK’s Red Teaming Agent—a cutting-edge tool designed…
