[RCAC Workshop]Vector Databases 101: Weaviate, FAISS, Pinecone

📅 Date: November 14, 2025 ⏰ Time: 1:00PM-2:00pM 💻 Location: Virtual 🏫 Instructor: Ashish

Who Should Attend

Researchers, developers, data scientists, and engineers who are exploring semantic search, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), or large-scale embedding storage. This session is ideal for anyone looking to understand how vector databases can power modern AI applications.

What You’ll Learn

This training introduces the fundamentals of vector databases and why they are critical for AI workflows. You’ll learn how Weaviate, FAISS, and Pinecone store and query high-dimensional embeddings, the differences between them, and practical use cases such as semantic search, recommendation systems, and knowledge retrieval for LLMs. Hands-on examples will walk through basic setup, indexing, and query operations, helping you compare strengths and tradeoffs across platforms.

Level

Beginner to intermediate. No prior vector database experience required, though familiarity with machine learning concepts will be useful.
