Ai+ Live Training: Structuring Healthcare Data for Usage with LLMs
Tuesday, November 12th, 2024, 12:00 PM ET
Getting your data RAG-ready for usage within LLM’s is no easy task. When your data consists of various patient chart document types (e.g. PDFs, HTML, PPT not to mention handwritten notes) you will have your work cut out for you. Join us in a workshop where we will structure healthcare patient data for usage with LLM’s. With the help of ‘unstuctured.io’ packages we will transform, clean, chunk, generate summaries and embeddings, then write our ‘structured’ healthcare data to a vector database (weaviate) where it can be used to interact with LLMs or Chatbots.
