This event is **FREE** and open to anyone interested in tech in San Antonio!

**AGENDA**
6:00 - Meet and greet
6:30 - ACM SA Announcements
6:35 - Meeting of "AI Agents"
7:30 - Q&A + Networking

**MEETING**
We are excited to be hosting this alongside Geeks&& month long AI Agents event!

The workshop will demonstrate a step-by-step guide to building an AI agent for scraping a website and analyzing the most common topics from it. We will also demonstrate the integration of an explanation tool for the NLP summarization task over a website.

**AI AGENTS SHOWCASE**
We are excited to be apart of the month long AI Agents Showcase put on by the local Geeks&& effort! Check out the event and create something awesome this month.

**Texera: Cloud-Based Collaborative Data Science and AI/ML Using Workflows**

**Agenda**
6:30 PM Doors Open & Networking
7:00 PM Announcements and Presentation
8:30 PM Meeting Adjourned

**Event Details**
Since 2016 our team at UC Irvine has been developing the Texera open-source system ([texera.io](http://texera.io/)), with the goal of enabling a cloud-based platform to support collaborative data science, AI, and ML. It allows users with various backgrounds, including those with limited coding skills, domain scientists, and ML experts, to conduct AI-centric data science with a collaboration experience similar to Google Docs.
After eight years of development, the system has a rich set of features, such as shared editing, shared execution, version control, commenting, debugging, user-defined functions in multiple languages (e.g., Python, R, Java), and support of state-of-the-art AI/ML techniques. Its backend parallel engine enables scalable computation on large data sets using computing clusters. It allows bioinformaticians to elastically request resources from AWS to form a cluster to run computationally intensive jobs. It also supports community-based sharing of resources including datasets and workflows.
In this talk, we will give an overview of the system, discuss research challenges encountered in the development and our solutions, and give an overview of its software architecture to achieve high usability, scalability, and reliability. We will show several domains that adopt the systems, including education and scientific communities.

**Speakers**
**Prof. Chen Li** is a professor in the Department of Computer Science at UC Irvine. He received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Stanford University, and his M.S. and B.S. in Computer Science from Tsinghua University, China. His research interests are in the fields of data management, data science, AI/ML, databases, data-intensive computing, search, and visualization. He was a co-founder and CTO of a startup to commercialize his research. He was a recipient of recognitions including an NSF CAREER award and test-of-time awards. He is an ACM Distinguished Member, and an IEEE fellow.

**Jiadong Bai** is a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at UC Irvine, advised by Prof. Chen Li. His research focuses on building intelligent systems for big data management, with interests in integrating AI into different aspects of data science. In the Texera project, he is a lead designer of its cloud infrastructure, and the storage layer built with S3, LakeFS, and Apache Iceberg.

**Co-sponsors**
This event is co-sponsored by the IEEE Orange County Computer Society, SIGAI OC, and the IEEE OC Solid-State Circuit Society (SSCS).

**Venue & Parking**
This meeting will be held at the Knobbe Martens' Irvine offices. Parking validation will be provided to attendees.

**Agenda:** Join other programmers in the Hudson Valley for a leisurely dinner and informal networking. Recent attendees are of wide-ranging experience, from beginning programmers looking for advice, to veteran programmers, to tech-startup entrepreneurs, to retired senior programmers. Recent attendees have wide-ranging interests, from HTML/CSS/javascript and Excel macros to advanced search algorithms and hard-core object-oriented C++. Discussions have included the merits of various software development methodologies and languages, to the latest security scandal. A running joke is that no meetup is complete until someone mentions the blockchain. We are always interested to hear about your problems, your passions, your projects, and your puzzles.

Don't want dinner? Just order a cup of coffee, or even just a glass of water.

**RSVP:** Our meetings tend to be small. Prospective attendees are encouraged to register in advance at MeetUp.com. That way, we can arrange for everyone to be seated comfortably.

**Normal Schedule:** The last Tuesday of every month.

Cancers are complex ecosystems that necessitate systems-level understanding and intervention. Cancer is often treated using a reductionist approach: distilled to an individual subtype, mutation, or phenotype. Addressing this problem is equal parts biology and computer science.

In Project Ex Vivo, a joint cancer research collaboration between Microsoft Research and the Broad Institute, we are envisioning a new, constructionist paradigm for precision oncology, one powered by the bottom-up integration of computation and experimentation to understand the complexity of cell state ecosystems in cancer.

In this talk I will share our recent efforts to build AI models to better define, model, and therapeutically target cell states in cancer.

Please register in advance for this seminar even if you plan to attend in person at [https://acm-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/2617430876221/WN_Msf8F_LXTcSD2mWpDeVx5A](https://acm-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/2617430876221/WN_Msf8F_LXTcSD2mWpDeVx5A)

Indicate on the registration form if you plan to attend in person. This will help us determine whether the room is close to reaching capacity. We plan to serve light refreshments from about 6:30 pm.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

We may make some auxiliary material such as slides and access to the recording available after the seminar to people who have registered.

**This hybrid meeting had been scheduled for April 24 but is rescheduled because the speaker had the flu.**

This is a joint meeting of the GBC/ACM ([http://www.gbcacm.org](http://www.gbcacm.org)) and the Boston Chapter of the IEEE-CS.
