When data agents fail, they often fail silently - giving confident-sounding answers that are wrong, and it can be hard to figure out what caused the failure. "Building and Evaluating Data Agents" is a new short course created with Snowflake and taught by Anupam Datta and Josh Reini. This course teaches you to build data agents with comprehensive evaluation built in. Skills you'll gain: - Build reliable LLM data agents using the Goal-Plan-Action framework and runtime evaluations that catch failures mid-execution - Use OpenTelemetry tracing and evaluation infrastructure to diagnose exactly where agents fail and systematically improve performance - Orchestrate multi-step workflows across web search, SQL, and document retrieval in LangGraph-based agents The result: visibility into every step of your agent's reasoning, so if something breaks, you have a systematic approach to fix it.

🚀 New in Docling: Structured Data Extraction from Documents! 🚀 We’ve just added a brand-new functionality: extraction of structured data from complex documents using free-form schemas 🤩 What does that mean? 🔹 You can now skip the conversion step — instead of turning documents into text or JSON first, Docling directly extracts the structured fields you care about. 🔹 The requested fields are defined in a free-form schema, so you can instantly align the extraction with the schemas of your own databases. 🔹 This makes it ideal for data-pipelines that don’t need full document conversion, but do need to populate structured databases from messy, unstructured documents. ✨ It’s: 1️⃣ Super simple to use (check out the code snippet 👉 https://lnkd.in/eK6vaMEe ) 2️⃣ 100% open-source and runs fully local – no API calls needed 🙌 3️⃣ Powered by cutting-edge models from NuMind (YC S22) 4️⃣ Perfect for data-pipelines where you need to populate structured databases from documents (think invoices, Curriculum Vitae, contracts, product datasheets, etc) 5️⃣ Currently focused on PDFs and images (PNG) — support for pure text coming soon! The example below shows how easy it is to define a schema and extract structured fields directly from an invoice. 👉 Try it out, break it, send us feedback, and if you like what we’re building, don’t forget to ⭐ the repo (https://lnkd.in/d4UT-6_2)! After a long and fruitful summer, the Docling team has been cooking up many new features — and this is just the beginning! 🌟 #opensource #AI #documentAI #docling #IBM #IBMResearch

𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐯𝐬 𝐅𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐜 – 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭? (𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰, 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞) If you want to understand how Databricks and Microsoft Fabric are evolving, and what that means in practice for data engineering, governance and reporting, then tune in tomorrow morning! Five months ago, Anders Krohn and I hosted a webinar on the same topic, and the interest much higher than expected. So we’re doing it again, this time with an updated perspective. Both platforms are moving fast, and some of the opinions we had back then might already look a bit different today. 𝐖𝐞’𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 terms of: ▪️ Data engineering ▪️ Governance ▪️ Reporting ▪️ How teams are actually using them in real scenarios. This isn’t a feature-by-feature walkthrough. We will focus on understanding how the platforms are developing, where they differ, and where they might overlap. 🗓️ 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 🔗 https://lnkd.in/drPYpmrU Evidi Evidi Denmark Torben Nyvang Jakobsen Martin Bundesen Anette Kilebu Brage Rønning Tukkensæter Lars Yngvar Tømmerholt #Databricks #Microsoft #MicrosoftFabric #DatabricksMVP

Steps here👇the game has completely changed since 2022 - it’s not just leetcode anymore. Here’s what Viktoria Semaan shared that actually worked: ✅ Actually USE the platform (yes, she had to learn Databricks + Spark from scratch) ✅ Nail the coding assignment without ChatGPT crutches ✅ Come with CLEAR impact stories for leadership rounds ✅ Do your homework on every interviewer (LinkedIn stalking is real prep 😅) The technical bar is higher, but the human connection piece is everything. When you can tie your stories to their experience and show genuine interest in their work - that’s when you stand out. 2025 interviews hit different. Preparation is everything 💪 What’s the biggest interview challenge you’re facing right now? Drop it in the comments 👇 #techjobs #interviewtips

What I love about #ApacheIceberg is how many different workloads folks are running on the same copy of data. Graph queries are a really cool example. Instead of copying data into specialized graph databases, PuppyGraph lets you run graph traversals directly on your existing Iceberg tables. Pretty cool stuff. But here's the thing - to get truly great performance, you need to ensure your Iceberg tables are well maintained and optimized. That's where Ryft comes in. We make sure your Iceberg tables are automatically maintained and optimized, no matter what engine you are using. It was terrific to work with Zhenni Wu and Weimo Liu, to create this blog post on how you can use Ryft with PuppyGraph to run graph queries on a fully optimized Iceberg lake! https://lnkd.in/giwnwMuc #ApacheIceberg #GraphQueries
