About us
We’re a group of students and AI practitioners who enjoy exploring the ever-evolving world of artificial intelligence together. For each meetup, we read and discuss a (scientific) paper—focusing on insights and applications that are relevant to the business world.
Our goal isn’t to understand every mathematical or technical detail, but to grasp the key ideas, results, and real-world implications of each work.
The group is open to anyone interested in AI and willing to spend a bit of time reading the paper beforehand. Whether you’re a student or an experienced professional, you’re very welcome to join, learn, and share your perspective!
The location for our meetups is kindly provided by inpeek AG.
