We're happy to share an upcoming Meetup organized by our friends over at the **[AI-Innovators Meetup](https://www.meetup.com/ai-innovators/events/310713709/)**. Looking forward to seeing you there or online. Details below:

**Session 1**: **The future of MLOps and LLMOps in the age of LLMs**
In this talk, we introduce a unified approach to building ML systems and AI systems based on feature, training, and inference pipelines.
Whether you are building batch ML systems, real-time ML systems, or agents - all such AI systems can be decomposed into collections of ML pipelines that create features/embedding/context, train or fine-tune models, or make predictions.
In particular, we will look at how to build and operate ML and AI systems with the help of offline testing and online monitoring. For offline tests, we will look at testing features, ML pipeline integration tests, model validation tests, backtests, and blue/green tests. For online monitoring, we will look at observability - metrics and logging, and how to build feature/model monitoring, data validation, and A/B tests. We will also look at evals for LLMs and their key role in validating agentic workflows.Dr. Jim Dowling is the CEO and a co-founder of Hopsworks. He has previously worked at MySQL and as an Associate Prof at KTH Stockholm. Jim organizes the annual feature store summit and is a co-organizer of PyData Stockholm. Jim has written a book for O'Reilly called "Building ML systems with a feature store: batch, real-time, and LLM systems".
#### **Session 2:** **Beyond Vectors—Hybrid + Knowledge Graph RAG for GDPR**
We present a stepwise approach to optimizing search over GDPR compliance documents. Starting from a vectors-only RAG baseline, we add hybrid retrieval (keyword + embeddings with LLM re-ranking) and then integrate a Neo4j knowledge graph that encodes GDPR hierarchy, definitions, and cross-references. This progression captures both semantic similarity and explicit legal relationships, improving recall, precision, and answer completeness—especially for citations, acronyms, and multi-hop questions across articles and recitals.
**Key takeaways**

* Vectors-only RAG misses exact citations and linked provisions, reducing recall on legal queries.
* Hybrid retrieval (lexical + vector) with LLM re-rank recovers acronyms, exact terms, and references more reliably.
* A Neo4j knowledge graph injects structure (articles, recitals, definitions, cross-links) to resolve multi-step queries.
* The graph-augmented hybrid pipeline yields the most consistent gains in precision and completeness for compliance Q&A.
* Pattern generalizes beyond GDPR to other regulations where hierarchical structure and citations matter.

### **Event Details:**

* **Date:** 17.09.2025
* **Time:** 18:00
* **Location:** Luise-Ullrich-Straße 14, 80336 München

Since the pandemic, we are **online only**.

This group is for anyone interested in pursuing Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. All skill levels are welcome. We help organize and support Kaggle challenge teams, Open AI challenges and try to provide career mentoring. Everyone is welcome to attend (even if you are not pursuing a career in AI).

We all have a lot of awesome ideas but we keep procrastinating, need an extra hand or can’t find the right time/motivation to execute. This is a space to be accountable for each other and execute our side projects. The codes and intellectual property of these projects will belong solely to the creators and not ConnectAITogether.

We intend to help you execute your AI or ML specific hobby projects.

We are dedicated to easing your learning and also facilitate your job search and career building. We intend to bring hiring managers and passionate job seekers a step closer and understand each others’ needs better.

Our mission is to facilitate an understanding of AI as an interdisciplinary field and acknowledgement that advancement in this field requires an understanding of Mathematics, Neuroscience, Computer science, Social Sciences and Humanities. We are driven to reaching the Third Wave of Artificial Intelligence and learn more and more.

Not a tutorial session and will not be led by anyone.

First Time Checklist (optional):

* Know python or start learning it.
* Suggest additions to this list.

More Settled In:

* Provide moral support and company.
* Start playing around in another Kaggle competition and encourage others to join you.
* Swap notes on good courses, academic programs, links for learning.
* Apply code used in past Kaggle competitions on a custom dataset that interests you.
* Meet people working advanced side projects.
* Already professionally established and learning something new.

Some people will come and go, as they just want to see what all this "ai" buzz is about. There are also a handful of usual suspects, who are studying and working side projects - come and say "hi"!

This Meetup has a strong focus on helping beginners. When none of the above is happening, we have a weekly discussion about anything tangentially related to data science.
