Join us for an exploration of cutting-edge approaches to AI memory systems, hosted by the Chen Institute and MongoDB. This event will delve into the critical role memory plays on the path toward artificial general intelligence, with a focus on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques and parametric memory architectures.

Key Topics for Builders:

Efficient Knowledge Embedding: Practical techniques for structuring and retrieving massive knowledge corpora—drawing inspiration from biological systems but grounded in engineering constraints.

Dynamic Knowledge Adaptation: How to build memory systems that update on the fly, scale with use, and remain robust under distribution shift and real-time learning demands.

Universal Memory Architectures: Design patterns and infrastructure for general-purpose memory components—transferable across tasks, models, and modalities.

Event Schedule📅

10:00 AM – Doors open, early-bird networking (meet future teammates!)

11:00 AM – Keynotes, topics include:

Data and AI Markets for Healthcare and Medicine

Aligning memory-augmented large language models with human episodic memory

12:00 PM – Hackers pitch projects

12:15 PM – Hacking starts and lunch

4:00 PM – Project check-in

6:00 PM – Dinner

8:00 PM – Demo presentations
