    <strong><br></strong><strong><span>1-2pm EDT, Thur. 10 Oct. 2024, ITE 325b, <a href="https://umbc.webex.com/umbc/j.php?MTID=m2292130a5fac70c2541905be14a7ae18" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">online via WebEx</a></span></strong>
    </h4>
    <div>We have seen a tremendous surge of interest in enterprises for generative AI applications – from chatbots and summarization to agents and multi-modal apps. Yet most of these apps remain in the prototype and experimentational stage. To move apps into production and keep them there, it is critical to make them efficient and to address common failure modes  – hallucinations, retrieval failures, safety issues such as toxicity and bias and more, all while providing robust governance.</div>
    <div>
    <br>In this talk, we will share learnings from building and maintaining production-grade apps. Using two concrete examples – <strong><a href="https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/snowflake-cortex/cortex-search/cortex-search-overview" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Cortex Search</a></strong> (which incorporates hybrid search to power question-answering over unstructured data) and <strong><a href="https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/snowflake-cortex/cortex-analyst" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Cortex Analyst</a></strong> (which enables business users to talk to their structured data with SOTA accuracy) – we will examine key design patterns to build efficient and trusted generative AI apps. Building on <strong><a href="https://www.trulens.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">TruLens</a></strong>, our open source project, we will also present a methodology for evaluating, experimenting, and monitoring generative AI apps that enables developers to measure app quality, identify and debug failure modes, and build the trust that’s needed to move apps into production and keep them there. Specifically, we will discuss evaluation methodologies based on the RAG Triad -- context relevance, groundedness, and answer relevance -- that can surface flaws in LLM apps and guide iteration to improve them. We will also show how this can be done practically using our open source framework, TruLens, leveraging both LLMs-as-a-judge and smaller, custom models that scale better to production monitoring workloads.</div>

<Title>Talk: Trust but verify, building production ready Gen AI applications</Title>

    <h3><strong><span>Trust but verify, building production ready Gen AI applications</span></strong></h3>
    <h4>
    <strong>Dr. Anupam Datta, Co-Head of Snowflake AI Research<br></strong><strong><span>1-2pm EDT, Thur. 10 Oct. 2024, ITE 325b, </span></strong><strong><span>Webex TBD</span></strong>
    </h4>
    <div>We have seen a tremendous surge of interest in enterprises for generative AI applications – from chatbots and summarization to agents and multi-modal apps. Yet most of these apps remain in the prototype and experimentational stage. To move apps into production and keep them there, it is critical to make them efficient and to address common failure modes  – hallucinations, retrieval failures, safety issues such as toxicity and bias and more, all while providing robust governance.</div>
    <div>
    <br>In this talk, we will share learnings from building and maintaining production-grade apps. Using two concrete examples – <strong><a href="https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/snowflake-cortex/cortex-search/cortex-search-overview" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Cortex Search</a></strong> (which incorporates hybrid search to power question-answering over unstructured data) and <strong><a href="https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/snowflake-cortex/cortex-analyst" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Cortex Analyst</a></strong> (which enables business users to talk to their structured data with SOTA accuracy) – we will examine key design patterns to build efficient and trusted generative AI apps. Building on <strong><a href="https://www.trulens.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">TruLens</a></strong>, our open source project, we will also present a methodology for evaluating, experimenting, and monitoring generative AI apps that enables developers to measure app quality, identify and debug failure modes, and build the trust that’s needed to move apps into production and keep them there. Specifically, we will discuss evaluation methodologies based on the RAG Triad -- context relevance, groundedness, and answer relevance -- that can surface flaws in LLM apps and guide iteration to improve them. We will also show how this can be done practically using our open source framework, TruLens, leveraging both LLMs-as-a-judge and smaller, custom models that scale better to production monitoring workloads.</div>

    <strong><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/anupamdatta/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Anupam Datta</a> </strong>is Co-Head of <strong><a href="https://www.snowflake.com/en/data-cloud/workloads/ai-ml/ai-research/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Snowflake AI Research</a></strong>. He joined Snowflake as part of the acquisition of TruEra where he served as Co-Founder, President, and Chief Scientist from 2019-2024. Datta was on the faculty at Carnegie Mellon University from 2007-2022, most recently as a tenured Professor of Electrical &amp; Computer Engineering and Computer Science. Datta's current research focuses on Trustworthy AI and includes pioneering work on evaluation, explainability, fairness, and adversarial robustness of ML models and GenAI applications. His research has also had significant product impact at TruEra and Snowflake. Datta served as Chair of the National Academies Workshop on Assessing and Improving AI Trustworthiness, on the Steering Committee of of the ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency, and the IEEE Computer Security Foundations Symposium, and as an Editor-in-Chief of Foundations and Trends in Privacy and Security. He obtained a B.Tech. from IIT Kharagpur, and Ph.D. and M.S. degrees from Stanford University, all in Computer Science. </div>

    <div><strong>Dr. Anwesha Dey is an Executive Director and Distinguished Scientist  in the Discovery Oncology Department at Genentech.</strong></div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div>Her scientific research is focused on understanding the biology of Hippo and PI3K signaling pathways and how they can be targeted for cancer therapy. She is also a Project Team Leader for a late stage research drug discovery program at Genentech where she leads a large interdisciplinary team focused on small molecule drug discovery. Prior to this position, she held postdoctoral research fellowships in the laboratory of Vishva Dixit at Genentech and at the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB), A*STAR, Singapore in the laboratory of Sir David Lane.<strong> Dr. Dey completed her PhD in the laboratory of Dr. Michael Summers at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at UMBC, Maryland and received her undergraduate degree in Biotechnology from National University of Singapore. </strong>
    </div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div>In addition to scientific research and discovery, she is passionate about mentoring the next generation of scientists at Genentech and beyond. Outside of work, she loves spending time with her family and enjoying fun activities with her daughter.</div>
