19:15 - **Intelligent Marketing: Leveraging AI to Drive Personalized Customer Interactions, by** **Yashvi Chawla**, Data Scientist @Hilti

Abstract: In this talk, we will explore how AI is transforming personalized customer interactions - moving from traditional rule-based segmentations to intelligent, data-driven, behavioral journeys. Imagine predicting a customer’s growth potential or anticipating their next purchase before they even consider it. Through practical use cases, we will explore how AI is bringing intelligence and personalization to industries long driven by relationships and physical touchpoints.

19:45 - **How to choose the best image embeddings for your e-commerce business, by Urszula Czerwińska,** Research Engineer at Jasper.ai

Abstract: In this talk, we explore how to choose the most suitable image embedding models for real-world e-commerce applications such as visual search, product clustering, or duplicate detection. Based on a large-scale benchmark conducted at Adevinta (Leboncoin), we compare 20 state-of-the-art models (CLIP, DINOv2, ViT, etc.) across multiple domains and tasks. Full results are available in our paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.07567, and we’ll share key insights to help practitioners make informed, task-specific model choices.

20:15 - **From data to startup: how data skills can take you to Y Combinator, by Claire Gouze,** Co-founder & CEO @nao Labs

Abstract: In this talk, Claire will share how she went from a career in data science to founding an AI startup backed by Y Combinator: what are the steps along this path? How do you find "the idea," how do you find a co-founder, how do you get your first clients and funding? How do you get into Y Combinator?
She will also share her vision on the next data skills to acquire: how to go from data science to AI engineering, and how to build and evaluate agentic AI.
