VectorDB-recipes
<br /> Dive into building GenAI applications! This repository contains examples, applications, starter code, & tutorials to help you kickstart your GenAI projects.- These are built using LanceDB, a free, open-source, serverless vectorDB that requires no setup.
- It integrates into Python data ecosystem so you can simply start using these in your existing data pipelines in pandas, arrow, pydantic etc.
- LanceDB has native Typescript SDK using which you can run vector search in serverless functions!
This repository is divided into 2 sections:
- Examples - Get right into the code with minimal introduction, aimed at getting you from an idea to PoC within minutes!
- Applications - Ready to use Python and web apps using applied LLMs, VectorDB and GenAI tools
The following examples are organized into different tables to make similar types of examples easily accessible.
Sections
- Build from Scratch - Build applications/examples from scratch using LanceDB for efficient vector-based document retrieval.
- Multimodal - Build a multimodal search application with input text or image as queries.
- RAG - Build a variety of RAG by loading data from different formats and query with text.
- Vector Search - Build vector search application using different search algorithms.
- Chatbot - Build chatbot application where user input queries to retrieve relevant context and generate coherent, context-aware replies.
- Evalution - Evaluate reference and candidate texts to measure their performance on various metrics.
- AI Agents - Design an application powered with AI agents to exchange information, coordinate tasks, and achieve shared goals effectively.
- Recommender Systems - Build Recommendation systems which generate personalized recommendations and enhance user experience.
- Concepts - Concepts related to LLM applications pipeline to ensures accurate information retrieval.
