Prompt Compression and Query Optimization
This course focuses on integrating traditional database features with vector search capabilities to optimize the performance and cost-efficiency of large-scale Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) applications. You’ll learn how to apply these key techniques: 1. Prefiltering and Postfiltering: These are techniques to filter results based on specific conditions. Prefiltering is done at the database index creation stage, while postfiltering is applied after the vector search is performed. 2. Projection: This technique involves selecting a subset of the fields returned from a query to minimize the size of the output. 3. Reranking: This involves reordering the results of a search based on other data fields to move the more desired results higher up the list. 4. Prompt Compression: This technique is used to reduce the length of prompts, which can be expensive to process in large-scale applications. You’ll also learn with hands-on exercises how to: 1. Implement vector search for RAG using MongoDB. 2. Develop a multi-stage MongoDB aggregation pipeline. 3. Use metadata to refine and limit the search results returned from database operations, enhancing efficiency and relevancy. 4. Streamline the outputs from database operations by incorporating a projection stage into the MongoDB aggregation pipeline, reducing the amount of data returned and optimizing performance, memory usage, and security. 5. Rerank documents to improve information retrieval relevance and quality, and use metadata values to determine reordering position. 6. Implement prompt compression and gain an intuition of how to use it and the operational advantages it brings to LLM applications. Start optimizing the efficiency, security, query processing speed, and cost of your RAG applications with prompt compression and query optimization techniques.

Cultures et pédagogies
Dans ce cours, nous explorons des alternatives pédagogiques qui s'inscrivent dans des contextes historiques, culturels et politiques différents. Vous découvrirez des pédagogies et des pédagogues qui opèrent une rupture avec les approches pédagogiques dominantes de notre société. Nous verrons ensemble les fondements pratiques et théoriques des apports de pédagogues à portée internationale, tels que P. Freire (Brésil) ou J. Krishnamurti (Inde). Vous découvrirez aussi des institutions éducatives alternatives comme l'école coranique, des écoles influencées par le bouddhisme ou l'hindouisme et la nature des savoirs indigènes ou des savoirs informels. Tous seront comparés aux institutions et savoirs scolaires contemporains. Ce cours a également pour but de démontrer non seulement que certaines pédagogies peu connues peuvent représenter des alternatives viables à la conception actuelle dominante de l'éducation, mais qu'elles sont aussi susceptibles de s'articuler à la forme scolaire contemporaine en répondant aux besoins spécifiques de certain-es apprenant-es ou aux nouveaux défis planétaires tel que le développement durable. À travers ces pédagogies, la prise en compte des cultures des apprenant-es peut être facilitée et peut ainsi rendre plus pertinents les apprentissages scolaires et extrascolaires. C’est dans ce but que nous avons réalisé ce MOOC. Nous avons pensé ce cours pour toute personne se formant ou travaillant dans le domaine de l'éducation ou l'enseignement. Si vous souhaitez remettre en question vos pratiques, rejoignez-nous.
