Last Thursday, CDT HUB hosted a MongoDB User Group (MUG) meetup focused on innovative data search methods, with a spotlight on semantic search using MongoDB. The event brought together IT professionals, data analysts, and enthusiasts eager to learn more about the latest advancements in data querying.

The presentations covered key topics, including an introduction to embedding models, the fundamentals of vector databases and vector search, as well as practical steps for setting up a MongoDB Atlas cluster and configuring vector search indexes. Attendees were able to follow a live application demo and code walkthrough, gaining hands-on insight into applying semantic search in real-world scenarios.

Speakers Aleksa Luković, a freelance AI/ML engineer, and Nenad Milosavljević, Senior Software Engineer at Flatfee and a prominent MongoDB Champion, shared their experiences and provided actionable advice on implementing these techniques across various projects.

This meetup offered a great opportunity for networking and deepening knowledge of current technologies. We thank the speakers and all participants for their active engagement and look forward to future MUG meetups at CDT HUB!
