About this course
This course develops practical capability in Vector Databases. Its course-specific content covers Vector representations, Index design, Collection operations, Search assessment, followed by an applied project focused on implement a filtered semantic-search collection. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Administrators, developers and practitioners who work with Vector Databases or plan to take on responsibilities in this area.
Before you start
Basic computer literacy and a foundational understanding of artificial intelligence & generative ai. Prior experience with the named product helps with the practical exercises.
Implement a filtered semantic-search collection
Deliver implement a filtered semantic-search collection. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
