There's no pan-Dutch event series that can possibly skip Rotterdam, so thanks to Lunatech we'll finally come around to visit the Port City™.

We've got quite a full agenda for today, with talks ranging from datalog queries to gaming AIs. Here's the plan:

Agenda

• 18:30 🍕 Doors open // Pizza time

• 19:00 🔀 Christian Weilbach: datahiking - taking datalog to invoices

• 19:45 👾 Baruch Berger : cljsc2 화이팅! Learning StarCraft 2 at 10.000 game steps per second

• 20:30 🍻 Beers // networking // hallway chit-chats

Abstracts

• datahiking - taking datalog to invoices *

We will take a look at datahike. datahike is a durable
database with an efficient datalog query engine. This project is a port
of datascript to the hitchhiker-tree. It provides a small, but important
part of the Datomic API and can be taken wherever you need a durable
datalog database easily. Besides the technical details we will take a
look how we applied it in the important small cases to render company
invoices with selmer and LaTeX.

• cljsc2 화이팅! Learning StarCraft 2 at 10.000 game steps per second *

Baruch Berger will talk about his project, cljsc2, that uses the Blizzard-DeepMind collaboration: the StarCraft II Reinforcement Learning environment. The talk will: (cover '#{StarCraftII clojupyter-notebook logic-programming "AI" protobuf->instaparse->clojure.spec->interactive-web-UI fulcro future-plans}).

Come to learn about this project, how data focussed Clojure(Script) is mostly the best thing in the world and what is in store for the future
