Vector DB Presentation Topics

Vector databases are specialized systems for storing and querying high-dimensional vector embeddings, enabling applications like recommendation systems and semantic searches. Key considerations for selecting a database include performance, scalability, integration, and cost, with popular options being Milvus, Pinecone, Weaviate, and Vespa.

Vector Database Overview

A vector database is specifically designed to store, index, and query high-dimensional data represented as vectors. Vectors often originate from machine learning models as embeddings — compressed representations of data such as text, images, and audio. These embeddings capture semantic information, making vector databases ideal for use cases like recommendation systems, natural language processing, and similarity searches.

How Vector Databases Differ from Traditional and NoSQL Databases

Aspect Traditional Relational Databases NoSQL Databases Vector Databases
Data Storage Stores structured data using rows and tables Stores semi-structured or unstructured data such as JSON, key-value pairs, graphs Stores high-dimensional vector embeddings
Querying SQL-based querying for structured data APIs, non-SQL querying languages (e.g., MongoDB Query Language) Focuses on similarity-based querying using k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) or Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN)
Indexing Indexing is often done on primary/foreign keys and numeric or text columns Indexing depends on the data model (e.g., key-value, graph) Specialized indexing methods like HNSW, PQ, or IVFPQ optimized for vector similarity search
Use Cases Transactional systems, reporting, and analytics Flexible use cases such as document storage, graph analysis, and streaming data Semantic searches, recommendation systems, computer vision, NLP, bioinformatics

How to Select a Vector Database

When choosing a vector database, here are some key considerations to ensure it suits your needs:

  • Performance: Look for databases with high-speed similarity searches and efficient indexing techniques (e.g., HNSW or IVF).
  • Scalability: Ensure it can handle large-scale vector data (e.g., millions or billions of embeddings).
  • Integration: Check for APIs, SDKs, or integrations with your existing tech stack and machine learning platforms.
  • Support for Hybrid Queries: If necessary, opt for databases that allow mixing metadata queries with vector similarity searches.
  • Ease of Use: Evaluate the simplicity of installation, configuration, and maintenance.
  • Community and Support: Strong documentation, active community, and support are crucial for seamless integration and troubleshooting.
  • Cost: Assess pricing models (open-source vs. commercial) and evaluate whether it fits your budget.

AI Agent for Business Analysis

Analyze reports, dashboard and determine To-do

DataKnobs has built an AI Agent for structured data analysis that extracts meaningful insights from diverse datasets such as e-commerce metrics, sales/revenue reports, and sports scorecards. The agent ingests structured data from sources like CSV files, SQL databases, and APIs, automatically detecting schemas and relationships while standardizing formats. Using statistical analysis, anomaly detection, and AI-driven forecasting, it identifies trends, correlations, and outliers, providing insights such as sales fluctuations, revenue leaks, and performance metrics.

Agent AI Tutorial

Here are slides and AI Agent Tutorial. Agentic AI refers to AI systems that can autonomously perceive, reason, and take actions to achieve specific goals without constant human intervention. These AI agents use techniques like reinforcement learning, planning, and memory to adapt and make decisions in dynamic environments. They are commonly used in automation, robotics, virtual assistants, and decision-making systems.
