Inside Vector Search - Technical Innovations In InterSystems IRIS

In this 20-minute technical session, we’re cutting through the basics and delving into InterSystems IRIS-specific innovations powering our Vector Search and Retrieval-Augmented Generation capabilities. Rather than a slow intro to RAG fundamentals, we’ll focus on the deeper technical aspects—highlighting our implementation of HNSW indexing, the EMBEDDING datatype and advanced techniques such as deferred indexing and smart chunking strategies. Join us to explore how these innovations overcome common LLM challenges and deliver robust performance under the hood, offering a unique, below-the-SQL-surface look at the technology driving InterSystems IRIS.
