A talk from MediaParty 2023

How I convinced GPT to teach me about Hungarian folktales (without speaking a word of Hungarian)

I promise this is actually about data journalism and generative AI, even if you reaaaally don't believe it! Based on my post Multi-language document Q&A with LangChain and GPT-3.5-turbo from March 2023.

Material:

• Slides live here
• Notebook with examples, or you can run it live online using Google Colab

Data sources:

• Eredeti népmesék on Project Gutenberg (a nice text file!)
• Eredeti népmesék on Google Books (the original!)

Tools and tech:

• langchain for anything and everything
• Our embeddings on HuggingFace
• Chroma vector database
• LlamaIndex for an alternative to langchain
