Attention, le réseau n'est pas très bon. Il est possible que nous ne soyons pas en mesure de vous répondre. Veuillez apporter vos propres matériaux (carnet, crayons, stylos) si possible. On propose 2 thèmes à chaque session, ils sont juste là pour donner un point de départ à l'inspiration ✨, si besoin. 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€).

L'Hôtel de Beauvais, cour administrative d'appel de Paris

Thu, Aug 13, 12:00 PM

From Experience Paris: 50 walks by Interkultur

4.7

**Visit one of the Marais's most historical mansions** Hotel de Beauvais holds its name from **Catherine de Beauvais**, lady in waiting to the Queen in the 1640's. Nicknamed "One-eye Cathy", she happened to give young **Louis XIV**, his first lessons in bed. The mansion is a sign of the king's gratitude. As a Bavarian Embassy, the building also saw young **Mozart** stay there when he came to Paris at the end of the 18th century, before one of Paris' most notorious gambling place settled there. After the French Revolution, like many Marais mansions, the **Hotel de Beauvais** was stripped from its outstanding decors and parted into numerous flats and small factories. The yard of honor has now been restored and shows a **sumptuous decor** as well as an original and rare layout, due to the lack of space. The visit will also highlight the 13th century **Gothic vaulted cellars** and a **superb elliptic staircase** at the back of the courtyard. The building, has retained **the beautiful staircase of honor** from the 17th century, used by so many famous guests. It now takes people and visitors to the modern rooms of the **City of Paris administrative court of appeal**. Walk in English 25€/person. Includes entry ticket and right of speech.

July 28 - Paris AI, ML, and CV Meetup

Tue, Jul 28, 3:30 PM

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.
