Iteratively Tuning Your GenAI Solutions

Optimizing Your GenAI Retrieval

Workshop
Is your retrieval layer limiting GenAI quality, speed, or scale without you realizing it?

Retrieval performance is shaped by chunking, embeddings, indexing, and ranking tradeoffs that are deeply interconnected. Small tuning decisions can dramatically affect relevance, latency, and cost—often in non-obvious ways.

To win, your GenAI solutions must retrieve the right context efficiently while balancing precision, recall, and operational constraints.

The Challenge

When retrieval optimization is piecemeal, GenAI systems struggle to deliver consistent results:

  • Context quality: Poor chunking or embedding strategies surface noisy or incomplete context.
  • Performance bottlenecks: Retrieval latency and indexing overhead grow as data volumes scale.
  • Tradeoff blind spots: Precision and recall are tuned independently, leading to brittle or misleading results.

These issues degrade answer quality, slow response times, and increase infrastructure costs.

Our Solution

In this hands-on workshop, your team systematically tunes and validates retrieval pipelines using structured analysis and targeted experiments.

  • Tune document chunking and embedding strategies to improve contextual relevance.
  • Filter noisy content while boosting high-value contextual signals.
  • Reduce retrieval latency through vector optimization techniques.
  • Manage storage and indexing overhead without sacrificing retrieval quality.
  • Balance precision and recall to support real-world GenAI use cases.
