This session dives into advanced architectural patterns, such as hybrid search, query transformations, and reranking, designed to solve the "hallucination hurdle" in professional settings. We will explore which techniques best fit specific use cases, how to navigate common implementation pitfalls, and what to do when standard approaches fall short in real-world situations. ## Details - **Start:** 2026-04-28T17:30:00.000Z - **End:** 2026-04-28T20:00:00.000Z - **Location:** Maison Internationale des Associations, Rue des Savoises 15, 1205 Genève, Switzerland - **Attendance:** offline - **Language:** en - **Price:** 5 CHF - **Audience:** Open to all - **Organizer:** [Switzerland AI Community](www.switzerland-ai.com) - **Event page:** https://luma.com/uhajla8e - **Contact:** Nicolas Dinh Canonical: https://ai-weeks.ch/events/rag-in-practice-navigating-advanced-techniques
