Mais libre à vous de dessiner tout ce qui vous passe par la tête sans forcément les respectez ! 😊 Au plaisir de vous voir ! *** Notre compte Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/ the_art_club_paris/ Prix : il vous sera demandé d'acheter une consommation du bar (pensez à retirer du liquide, le BDA ne prend pas la carte en dessous de 20€) ———— Come as you are! Don't worry, if you don't know how to draw, we can give you some tips. You will find us at the basement. Be careful, the reception is not very good. We may not be able to answer you. Please bring your own materials (drawing pad, pens, pencils) if possible. We announce two themes for each session. This is just to give a start point for inspiration ✨, if needed. However, you are totally free to draw whatever you would like to, no need to follow them if do not want to. 😊 We look forward to seeing you! *** Our Instagram account: https:// www.instagram.com/the_art_club_paris/ Price: all attendees need to purchase something to drink (please have cash, the BDA do not take card payment under 20€).

Cours discrètes de la Bastille et rencontre avec un artisan du bois

Thu, Aug 13, 12:00 PM

From Experience Paris: 50 walks by Interkultur

4.7

Pendant des décennies, les marteaux et les scies ont vibré dans des ateliers sur cour qui fleuraient bon le bois frais. Les fabriques de meubles dues à un savoir-faire réputé, avaient envahi tout le faubourg Saint-Antoine. Au moment de la construction de l'opéra Bastille, le sud du 11e, au prix d'une transformation radicale, devint le quartier à la mode, les artisans cédant peu a peu la place aux cafés et boutiques branchés. Dans tout l'arrondissement, des passages dévoilent un Paris secret et encore protégé. Au milieu d'une suite de cours discrètes, une rencontre est prévue avec un des derniers ébénistes du quartier. 15€/pers. Ce prix englobe la participation à la visite d'atelier. RDV à la sortie du métro Breguet-Sabin, en face du No 9 Bd Richard Lenoir Visite en français et anglais si nécessaire ! For years, wood artisans have thrived around the Faubourg Saint Antoine, outside of Bastille square. This tradition, along with furniture stores was still overwhelming until the end of the last century. Slowly, the workshops and manufactories give way to private lofts, bars and startups. Behind the opera, clubs and restaurants swarm, vibrant outposts of one of Paris's favorite night district. Despite the rents rise year after year, and most of the wood related shops have closed down or moved away, the neighborhood is full of beautiful and little known back alleyways and leafy private yards, where the sound of wood work can still be heard. In one of them, a meeting is planned with one of the last wood craftsmen in his amazing workshop. https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/8/6/6/1/600_452674401.jpeg

WORKSHOP apprendre à dessiner d'après nature

Wed, Jul 29, 12:30 AM

Learning how to draw still life, portrait, landscape? I will help you set up the composition and instruct you to draw everything you want with your pencils and your colours. The environment is friendly. This course is for beginners as well as those who want to improve their techniques. We will have a small snack break to exchange ideas and get to know each other. Everyone brings his/her own materials such as sketchbooks, papers, pencils or watercolour. Comment apprendre à dessiner une nature morte, un portrait, d'après nature? Je vous guiderai, et vous aiderai à faire la mise en place, la composition, afin de représenter tout ce que vous avez envie, avec vos crayons et vos couleurs . L'ambiance de l'atelier est très conviviale . Ce cours s'adresse aux débutants, ainsi qu'aux dessinateurs qui veulent se perfectionner. Nous prendrons une petites collation, et l'on pourra échanger ses impressions et se connaître. Chacun amène son materiel, carnets, papiers et crayons ou aquarelle.

From Paris AI, Machine Learning and Computer Vision Meetup

July 28 - Paris AI, ML, and CV Meetup

Tue, Jul 28, 3:30 PM

4.7

Join us for an in-person Meetup to hear talks from experts on cutting-edge topics across AI, ML and computer vision. **Date, Time and Location** Jul 28, 2026 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM CEST [InstaDeep SAS](https://maps.app.goo.gl/sjt4oiVL45aLHUHy7) 42 Rue de Paradis 75010 Paris, France **Finetuning VLMs for domain specific tasks** Vision-language models are becoming powerful general-purpose tools, but their real value often appears when they are adapted to domain-specific tasks. In this talk, I will present practical strategies for fine-tuning VLMs on specialized data, from dataset design and annotation quality to model selection, evaluation, and deployment constraints. I will discuss common challenges such as limited data, visual ambiguity, domain shift, hallucinations, and maintaining robustness in production. The session will focus on applied lessons for building reliable VLM systems that go beyond demos and solve concrete business or research problems. *About the Speaker* [Amine Belhakimi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/amine-belhakimi-0b8904189/) is a Staff AI Engineer at GoPro with over 5 years of experience in computer vision and applied machine learning systems. His work focuses on bringing AI models from research to production, with a growing specialization in vision-language models, multimodal AI, and domain-specific AI applications. **Computer Vision at Nanoscale - Detecting, Segmenting and Analyzing Nanoparticles in microscopic images** This talk covers detecting, segmenting, and analyzing nanoparticles in microscopic images — including YOLO models, Classical CV, and Gradio. *About the Speaker* [Atif Anwer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/atifanwer) is a computer vision and AI researcher with a passion for building intelligent systems that bridge robotics, deep learning, and real-world applications. He earned a joint Ph.D. from INSA Rouen Normandie and Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, where his work focused on generative AI and image enhancement using polarimetric imaging data. **Towards a Resolution- and Modality-Agnostic Transformers for Earth Observation** Vision Transformers (ViT) dominate computer vision. However, their reliance on rigid patch projectors hinders transfer to Earth Observation (EO), where inputs vary widely in modality, scale, and resolution. We introduce UniverSat, a ViT-style backbone built around a Universal Patch Encoder that maps patches from arbitrary spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions, and from both optical and non-optical sensors, into a shared embedding space with a single set of weights. This enables training one model on heterogeneous multimodal corpora in self-supervision, yielding robust sensor-agnostic spatial features. *About the Speaker* [Guillaume Astruc](https://www.linkedin.com/in/guillaume-astruc-6435b3173) is pursuing a PhD at Imagine Institute from École des Ponts ParisTech (ENPC), Lastig laboratory at National Institute of Geographic and Forest Information (IGN), and French National Centre for Space Studies (CNES). **Building Real-World Computer Vision Systems with Voxel51** This talk will explore practical workflows for building, evaluating, and improving modern computer vision systems. We’ll dive into real-world approaches to dataset curation, model analysis, multimodal AI workflows, and production-ready vision pipelines using open-source technologies. The session is designed for engineers, researchers, and AI practitioners looking to better understand how teams are developing and scaling computer vision applications today. Expect practical demos, technical insights, and discussions around the evolving AI tooling ecosystem. *About the Speaker* [Harpreet Sahota](https://www.linkedin.com/in/harpreetsahota204/) is a hacker-in-residence and machine learning engineer with a passion for deep learning and generative AI. He’s got a deep interest in RAG, Agents, and Multimodal AI. **Efficient Image Generation through Smarter Data, Objectives, and Alignment** State-of-the-art image generation models require massive web scrapes and expensive post-training alignment. This talk explores three recent works that challenge the "bigger is better" paradigm to build efficient and controllable models. First, we show how ImageNet alone (only 1/1000th the training data of Stable Diffusion) can match billion-scale models using a fraction of the compute. Second, we introduce a frequency-balanced training objective that overcomes spectral bias, learning high-fidelity textures up to 40% faster. Finally, we present MIRO, a multi-reward pretraining method that bakes human preferences directly into the model, bypassing costly post-hoc RLHF and outperforming models 30x its size. *About the Speaker* [Lucas Degeorge](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucas-degeorge-551a861a6/) is a PhD Student at Ecole Polytechnique and Ecole des Ponts. His main research interest lies in multi-modal generative models.
