Overview

About this programme

This course equips participants with the knowledge and technical foundations required to design, implement, and optimize Knowledge Graphs and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems for intelligent information retrieval and AI-driven decision support. Participants learn how structured knowledge representation enhances large language models (LLMs), improves contextual accuracy, reduces hallucinations, and strengthens enterprise AI governance. The program bridges data architecture, semantic technologies, and generative AI to help organizations build reliable, scalable AI knowledge systems.
