What we’re about

To see all meetups in this group: https://www.meetup.com/pro/ibm-community/

This is an IBM sponsored Meetup group geared towards developers, data scientists, data engineers, and ALL Big Data, Cloud and AI enthusiasts. Our Meetups provide an opportunity to learn, to work hands on with the solutions and tools in our Big Data portfolio, and to interact and share knowledge with experts at IBM and in our extended community.

Our Meetups typically include a 45-60 minute presentation that serves as an introduction and overview for a specific Data or Cognitive topic, as well as other topics that the community is interested in. It is followed by a possible demonstration or networking with fellow developers to collaborate on applying your data skills. Depending upon the location, we can provide a cloud environment with the technologies needed, that you can use from your laptop at NO cost to you. Our meetups are FREE.

Meetup topics include (but are not limited to):

- Cognitive Solutions
- Artificial Intelligence
- Data Science
- Machine Learning
- Cloud Technologies
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Data Visualization
- Java development
- Open Source Technologies: Apache Spark, Apache Hadoop, Python, R and others
- Data-centric Application Development
- Open Source Hadoop, SQL on Hadoop, R on Hadoop, Integration, Governance, ...
- Real Time Analytics & Stream Computing
- Text Analytics
- Relational and NOSQL Databases
- Predictive/Prescriptive Analytics
- Deep dives into the technologies that makes big data processing possible

Join us today to learn more about what is possible with software development and topics important to your community.

Simplifying DPK Pipeline Creation with Agentic Workflows (40 mins)

Q&A (10 mins)

Wrap-up

Overview
In this session, we present our experimental approach to creating DPK pipelines using agentic workflows. We will begin with a brief introduction to agentic workflows, followed by a walkthrough of two notebooks developed to support this work:

The first notebook shows a planner agent for Data-Prep-Kit tasks with code generation. The agent builds DPK pipeline that performs required tasks defined by a natural language.

The second notebook demonstrates how DPK transformers can be wrapped as tools within LangChain and LlamaIndex, along with examples of executing the transforms directly.

Thu, Apr 17, 2025, 4:00 PM UTC[AI Alliance] AI Red-Teaming: Stress Testing AI Systems for Safety & Reliability
Link visible for attendees
In this talk, we’ll explore the critical role of AI red-teaming in ensuring the safety, security, and reliability of AI systems. As AI adoption accelerates, adversarial testing has become essential to uncover vulnerabilities, mitigate risks, and build trustworthy models. We'll discuss practical red-teaming strategies for identifying model weaknesses, from prompt injection attacks to harmful content generation. Drawing on insights from HydroX AI’s automated red-teaming platform and our work with partners like Anthropic, I'll highlight best practices for developers, AI engineers, and business leaders to integrate red-teaming into their development lifecycle. The session will provide actionable guidance for both open-source projects and enterprise AI deployments.
