Welcome to an evening with IBM Research where we discuss AI, Agents, NASA and everything in between. An event hosted by **IBM Research** \- PyData Ireland is excited to be a community partner\. This is an inaugural **Open Source Science Dublin** meetup, where cutting-edge scientific research meets open-source technology, AI, and cloud-native infrastructure. ​ Expect **technical deep dives**, **cross-disciplinary conversations**, and (of course) **pizza** 🍕. For this first event, we’re exploring one of the most exciting frontiers today: **agentic systems for scientific discovery**, and how autonomous and semi-autonomous AI systems are transforming the way research is conducted, validated, and scaled. ​ You’ll see real-world systems in action, hear from both applied and research perspectives, and walk away with a clearer picture of how agents are moving from hype to scientific infrastructure. ## **Talks** ​**Accelerated Knowledge Discovery at NASA: Building an Agentic AI Research Companion** * **Speaker:** James Barry, Staff Research Scientist, IBM Research * **Description:** A practical look at NASA’s AKD platform: a chat-driven frontend orchestrating a multi-agent backend (planner + literature/data/code search) to turn questions into traceable, end-to-end scientific research—faster, more systematic, and with human oversight. ​ **Production-Ready AI Agents: Containerization, Sandboxes, and the LangChain Stack** * **Speaker:** Fabio Lorenzi, Staff Research Scientist, IBM Research * **Description:** Building secure, scalable AI agents for industrial time series analysis using isolated code execution, LangGraph for agent orchestration, and FastAPI for production deployment—bridging foundation models and real-world maintenance workflows. **Science in the Agentic Era: Structured Experimentation with *ado*** * **Speaker:** Michael Johnston, STSM, Discovery Systems; Manager, Next Generation Systems, IBM Research * **Description:** A research-first framework for agent-assisted discovery: *ado* encodes the problem space and experimental plan as schemas, enabling agents to propose and refine studies while keeping every run transparent, reproducible, and scientifically auditable.

This meetup is for people who are interested in designing aircraft and building aerospace related machines, thinking about investing in new Urban Air Mobility (UAM) startups and for people In general who are interested in the latest new technologies related to personal UAM Vertical Takeoff Landing (VTOL) aircraft, Aero Engines or are interested in the aircraft Industry in general in Fixed wing or Rotor wing aircraft. The main topic of this discussion is going to be about the Multi Billion Dollars market for UAM Flying Bikes/Cars/Taxi and Vertical Take Off Aircraft (VTOL) developments and aerodynamic designs for VTOL aircraft. A.I.L Technologies flying Bike Clip: Cost $730,000 Dollars!😂😅 Anyone want to buy one? Is it worth the cost? https://youtu.be/Nt9bTGxIr8I This Company has now closed down in January 2024; https://evtol.news/ali-technologies-hover-bike/ This flying bike's cost is as much as to purchase the Hills HX 50 5 seater helicopter. The HX50 has major advantages compared to the A.I.L flying bike. So which one would you buy given the fact of the flying bike flight limitations compared to the Hills HX 50 5 seat high speed helicopter. https://www.hillhelicopters.com We can discuss some related past VTOL projects to the latest advanced high speed Hybrid Helicopters/Tilt Rotor design concepts. We will also look into the newest multi billion dollar rise of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) VTOL flying bikes/cars being developed,built and testex in the US and around the world. Also we can look at the latest Tilt Rotor VTOL aircraft technologies being presently developed. Main Topics for discussion!: Present VTOL Flying Bikes. https://youtu.be/Nt9bTGxIr8I https://youtu.be/Hk6kF2eOxOQ https://youtu.be/msu3PlAxAoM https://youtu.be/NFFwWYvHe18 https://youtu.be/eLFNgzD7cPo Any person interested in UAM Flying Bikes VTOL Aerospace technologies is welcome to RSVP and to join us in this discussion. Venue is to be set in Dublin City at a later stage.

If you’ve worked with LLMs, you’ve probably run into slow inference, out-of-memory errors, or hallucinations you couldn’t explain. There’s no shortage of resources on how transformers work, but most of them either ask you to build one from scratch or get lost in theory that doesn’t connect to the problems you’re actually facing. Transformers in Practice is different. We will give a complete practical view of how transformers work, from how they generate text to what’s happening inside the model to how it all gets optimized to run on real hardware. Interactive visualizations throughout let you see key concepts in action and build intuition that actually sticks. Here’s what you’ll learn: * **Model Behavior:** You’ll learn how LLMs generate text through an autoregressive loop, selecting one token at a time from a probability distribution. You’ll see how sampling parameters like temperature shape the output, why hallucinations happen, and how techniques like RAG, constrained generation, and chain-of-thought reasoning all work within this same loop. * **Model Architecture and Attention:** You’ll look inside the transformer to understand what attention is really doing, how positional encoding tracks token order, and how multiple layers and attention heads work together to turn an input sequence into a next-token prediction. * **Scaling and Deploying:** You’ll learn why GPUs are well-suited for transformer inference and where the real bottlenecks are. You’ll build practical intuition for quantization, KV caching, flash attention, and speculative decoding, including the tradeoffs each one introuces for cost, speed, and output quality. The minimum fee is to pay the venue and avoid no show and make this group of people sustainable in the long term

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

This is the 50th Anniversary of the Judgment of Paris. Significantly, in 1976, California wines unexpectedly outperformed French wines in a blind tasting with nine French judges, challenging the perception that only French wines were of the highest quality. This event helped elevate the status of California wines on the global stage and is considered a pivotal moment in wine history. House Wine, in Worthington, modestly, recreates that moment in history with a tasting both American and French wines in a fun, casual atmosphere. Come at 6:45, pay your fee at the register and join your friends for this "Judgey" tasting. https://www.wineenthusiast.com/culture/wine/the-judgment-of-paris-turns-40/ Arrive when you can and we'll have a table for gathering. Feel free to bring your own food as it is welcomed at this local gem or order from the newly opened Worthington Inn, or local favorites such as Dewey's, Everest, Jet, Worthington Tavern and The Whitney. Each person pays their tasting fee, typically $15, and gets their wine glass, then approximately five pours of the wines being served. **Parking is tough**. Try the second lot behind House Wine accessed by the land by the back parking lot or the municipal lot one block north of House Wine. **Waiver and Liability and Attendance Policy.** Participation by you and your guests means you agree to the Waiver of Liability and Attendance Policies on our Group Page. People who have two more or Attendance policy violations are subject to removal from the group.
