Now playing: Introduction to Vector Stores – Vector Databases for RAG (GenAI Course – 4)

About this path

This learning path follows the VectorMind Academy playlist in order. It starts with a prompt engineering primer, then moves through retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), data preparation, vector stores, Mosaic AI Vector Search, MLflow tracking, and evaluation. The videos are summary-level explanations rather than full hands-on labs, so treat this as a study companion. Watch in sequence, take notes, and pause to think through each concept. The playlist description mentions exam overview, MCQs, and revision sessions, but those items are not present in the seven lessons listed here.

What you will learn

  • Explain the role of prompt engineering in Databricks generative AI workflows
  • Describe how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) lets LLMs use your own data
  • Prepare data for RAG by chunking, creating embeddings, and adding metadata
  • Summarize what vector stores are and how they support semantic search
  • Describe how Mosaic AI Vector Search enables semantic search on Databricks
  • Explain how MLflow tracks and manages RAG and LLM pipelines
  • Identify ways to evaluate RAG systems and support continual learning

Curriculum

Section 1: Foundations

  1. Lesson 1: Prompt Engineering Primer for Databricks Generative AI (GenAI Course – 1)

    This opening video gives a primer on prompt engineering for the Databricks Generative AI Associate exam. It sets up the course and introduces how prompts are used with large language models in Databricks workflows. The description is truncated, so the exact subtopics covered are not fully clear from the source.

Section 2: Retrieval-Augmented Generation

  1. Lesson 2: Introduction to RAG on Databricks – Retrieval-Augmented Generation (GenAI Course – 2)

    This video introduces retrieval-augmented generation and explains how RAG helps LLMs use your own data. It is a concept-level walkthrough of the RAG module rather than a coding session.

  2. Lesson 3: Preparing Data for RAG – Chunking, Embeddings & Metadata (GenAI Course – 3)

    This lesson covers preparing data for RAG solutions on Databricks. It focuses on what makes data RAG-ready, including chunking, embeddings, and metadata.

Section 3: Vector Stores and Search

  1. Lesson 4: Introduction to Vector Stores – Vector Databases for RAG (GenAI Course – 4)

    A summary-level explanation of vector stores (vector databases) used in RAG systems. The video aims for a simple conceptual understanding rather than detailed database tuning.

  2. Lesson 5: Mosaic AI Vector Search – Semantic Search on Databricks (GenAI Course – 5)

    This video gives a summary-level explanation of Mosaic AI Vector Search and how it supports semantic search and RAG on Databricks. It is not a full configuration or notebook walkthrough.

Section 4: Tracking and Evaluation

  1. Lesson 6: MLflow for RAG Applications – Tracking & Managing LLM Pipelines (GenAI Course – 6)

    A summary-style overview of how MLflow is used with RAG and LLM applications. It covers what MLflow does at a high level rather than every API.

    Open on YouTube
  2. Lesson 7: Evaluating RAG Systems & Continual Learning – Metrics & Feedback (GenAI Course – 7)

    The final Week 1 video gives a summary-level view of evaluating RAG applications and thinking about continual learning. It covers metrics and feedback at a conceptual level, not a full evaluation framework.
