Polyglot Pipelines with Apache Nifi by Bob Paulin

CJUG will be having our very own Bob Paulin presenting a talk this month!!

Abstract:

Are you feeling lost as a Java Developer in this new age where AI is becoming a part of our everyday toolkit? Are you a Python Developer looking to scale up and distribute your data processing? While Java has always been known for having strong libraries for processing data at scale; much of the advances in LLMs and RAG has been evolving in Python. In this talk, we'll cover building polyglot data pipelines on Apache Nifi. You'll see how Apache Nifi can be integrated with Apache Tika and other Open Source libraries to train and evaluate models that process text and images. You'll also learn how to integrate these workflows with popular Python libraries to take advantage of the mature libraries in the Python community like PyTorch or Tensorflow. Get the most out of your data by using the best of both the Java and Python communities.
