Description:
Welcome to the weekly AI virtual seminars, in collaboration with Oracle. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, hands-on experiences on code labs, workshops, and networking with speakers & fellow developers from all over the world.

Hands-on workshop: Improving AI Predictions using Location Data
Speakers: Rahul Tasker (Oracle) | Denise Myrick (Oracle) | Ramu Murakami Gutierrez (Oracle)
Abstract: Power your business decisions with location data using Spatial AI in Oracle Autonomous Database. What is the predicted impact of a highway project on safety? Where is the next unemployment hotspot going to be? What is the predicted solar energy adoption of a new housing subdivision, when you include the impact of adoption by neighbors? Many business decisions are impacted by location data. With the Python APIs for Spatial predictive analytics in Oracle Autonomous Database you can easily include location information in your predictive models. Spatial algorithms can enhance ML by accounting for geographical variations of predictive factors, detection of spatial patterns such us geographical hotspots and outliers, and more.

Join us in a hands-on workshop to learn how to use these APIs in Oracle Autonomous Database. You will work with vehicle registration and demographic data to create models for better prediction of electric vehicle adoption.

Tech Talk: Achieving Sub‑100 ms Real‑Time Stream Processing with an S3‑Native Architecture
Speakers: Yingjun Wu (Founder and CEO at RisingWave Labs)
Abstract: Stream processing systems have traditionally relied on local storage engines such as RocksDB to achieve low latency. While effective in single-node setups, this model doesn't scale well in the cloud, where elasticity and separation of compute and storage are essential. In this talk, we'll explore how RisingWave rethinks the architecture by building directly on top of S3 while still delivering sub-100 ms latency. At the core is Hummock, a log-structured state engine designed for object storage. Hummock organizes state into a three-tier hierarchy: in-memory cache for the hottest keys, disk cache managed by Foyer for warm data, and S3 as the persistent cold tier. This approach ensures queries never directly hit S3, avoiding its variable performance. We'll also examine how remote compaction offloads heavy maintenance tasks from query nodes, eliminating interference between user queries and background operations. Combined with fine-grained caching policies and eviction strategies, this architecture enables both consistent query performance and cloud-native elasticity. Attendees will walk away with a deeper understanding of how to design streaming systems that balance durability, scalability, and low latency in an S3-based environment.

Tech Talk: From Raw Data to Trusted Assets: A Practical Walkthrough with AWS services and Collibra
Speakers: Behnaz Derakhshani (Specialist Data Engineer at Diconium)
Abstract: Expect a hands-on journey showing how modern data lake tools and governance platforms connect the dots - making your data discoverable, governed, and productized for real-world use.

Tech Talk: Effective Agentic genAI in data streaming
Speakers: Erik Schmiegelow (CEO at Hivemind Technologies)
Abstract: Successful gen AI projects strike the balance between impact, accuracy and cost - im this talk, we cover how to create agentic data applications effectively, choosing when and how to integrate them in data streams and keep response quality issues and costs in check.
