My Presentations @ HROUG 2024

HROUG hosted its 2024's conference between16th and 19th October, as usual, in Rovinj, Croatia. This year, I was invited to present the two of my presentations:

  • Extending Oracle Analytics Machine Learning Capabilities with OCI Services and
  • Talking to Oracle Database in plain English … i Hrvatski!

Talking to Oracle Database in plain English … i Hrvatski!

My first session was about one of the coolest additions to Oracle Database 23ai, SELECT AI. SELECT AI allows users to ask the database (questions in natural language. By enabling connections with generative Large-Language Models such as ChatGPT, OpenAI Azure, Cohere and others, users can simply ask the question and can expect results, based on data stored in the database, returned narrated or simply by datasets which can be visualised and nicely presented.

In this presentation, I am describing and demonstrating how to setup Oracle Database to use LLMs and  explore how well Oracle Database speaks and understand English.

And since English is not enough when you speak only Croatian, then what about talking to database data in Croatian. And Slovenian, and Greek, and Japanese, ... for that matter. It actually does pretty well.

Extending Oracle Analytics Machine Learning Capabilities with OCI Services 

This presentation discusses and illustrates options which users have when using Machine Learning with Oracle Analytics.

Oracle Analytics comes with built-in machine learning capabilities that are easy to use and to implement even by end-users who would normally not have deep machine learning knowledge and experience.

However, Oracle Analytics supports inclusion of more sophisticated machine learning solutions, models, which can be developed using Oracle Machine Learning (OML) in an Oracle database, OCI Data Science and OCI AI Services such as Vision, Language or Document Understanding.

Presentation is primarily focusing on examples and uses cases demonstrations.
