**Session description:**
**Jasper Oosterveld - With Great Power Comes Great Labeling: Sensitivity Labels in de Praktijk**
Veel organisaties hebben inmiddels sensitivity labels geïmplementeerd als basis voor data security in Microsoft 365. Maar zodra je voorbij de basis komt, ontstaan er nieuwe vragen.
Hoe ontwerp je een werkbaar labelmodel? Hoe voorkom je dat gebruikers verdwalen in te veel labels? Wat betekent labeling voor Teams, SharePoint, Data Lifecycle Management en Microsoft 365 Copilot? En waarom gedraagt het platform zich soms nét anders dan je verwacht?
Tijdens deze interactieve sessie deel ik mijn praktijkervaringen met sensitivity labels: keuzes die goed uitpakten, dingen die ik achteraf anders zou doen en de frustraties die je alleen tegenkomt wanneer je labels écht gaat gebruiken in productie.
Dit is nadrukkelijk geen theoretische sessie. Neem je eigen ervaringen, uitdagingen en meningen mee, zodat we samen praktijklessen kunnen uitwisselen en ontdekken hoe we sensitivity labels effectiever kunnen inzetten.
**Jeroen Bijdevier - Je omgeving op orde voor veilig en optimaal Copilot gebruik**
Copilot ziet het verschil tussen achterhaalde en recente informatie niet. Die zal je dus een beetje moeten helpen. Rechten zijn vaak niet (in detail) op orde. Manueel deze zaken vinden is lastig en tijdrovend. Natuurlijk wil je rapportages hebben van het gebruik. Ergo dataveiligheid op orde en inzicht in het gebruik met Purview.

METALCAFE Live at de Vorstin
Tickets:
https://vorstin.stager.co/shop/default/events/111575211
Met de hoge opkomst én de ongekende energie in de zaal en op het podium bewijst dit concept keer op keer dat er in Hilversum behoefte is aan metal!
Daarom is het tijd voor een nieuwe editie van METALCAFE Live in De Vorstin! Op 27 maart staat er metalcore en melodic hardcore op het programma, met optredens van Previse + Reality Spill + Sugar Spine
Previse
Wat ooit begon als een kleine coverband, die nummers speelde van hun favoriete artiesten (Polaris, Parkway Drive, Enter Shikari, Beartooth en vele anderen), groeide uit tot een band met een krachtig eigen repertoire. Ongeacht waar ze spelen, Previse zit vol energie en de bandleden geven alles wat ze hebben op het podium.
Reality Spill
Reality Spill is een vierkoppige metalcore band uit Overijssel. Sinds 2021 timmert de band hard aan de weg en hebben ze al meerdere releases en talloze liveshows op hun naam staan in binnen en buitenland. Eind 2024 verscheen hun tweede EP ‘The End of the World’; een nieuwe sound die naast de vertrouwde metalcore sound, uitstapjes maakt naar hardcore, electronica en pop-punk. Verwacht een gezonde dosis energie en chaos op het podium bij een show van Reality Spill!
Sugar Spine
Sugar Spine is een opkomende metallic hardcore band uit Nederland, die een meedogenloze mix brengt van hardcore, metalcore en deathcore. Hun sound schakelt moeiteloos tussen verschillende stijlen en laat duidelijke invloeden horen van bands als Stick To Your Guns, (early) Slipknot, END en Boundaries.
Wat begon als een soloproject van vocalist Josh Muncke in 2021, groeide in 2023 uit tot een volwaardige liveband die in korte tijd het podium deelde met internationale acts zoals Jesus Piece, Breakdown of Sanity, Half Me en Misery Signals. Daarnaast werkte Sugar Spine samen met artiesten als Bleed From Within, Cabal, To The Grave, Distant en Born Of Osiris. Gedreven door pure wilskracht, authenticiteit en compromisloze energie laat Sugar Spine zien klaar te zijn om een blijvende indruk achter te laten in de metalwereld.
Let’s raise some hell, metalheads!

SEA: Search Engines Amsterdam
This session focuses on **Reasoning for Search Systems**, featuring two speakers: **Alex Egg** from **Adyen** and **Mohanna Hoveyda** from **Radboud University**.
**Location:** Science Park 904, Room C3.161
**Date**: Friday, March 27
**Time**: 16:00-17:00
**Zoom** **link**: [https://uva-live.zoom.us/j/65011610507](https://uva-live.zoom.us/j/65011610507)
Details below:
**Speaker #1**: **Alex Egg** from **Adyen**
**Title**: Dense Retrieval for Identity: Real-Time Entity Linking in Payments
**Abstract**: Modern payment platforms must link billions of transactions to the correct shopper identity in real time. Traditional solutions rely on rule-based logic over identifiers such as card hashes, emails, or device fingerprints, but these approaches struggle when identifiers are incomplete, inconsistent, or shared across multiple individuals. In this talk, we describe how we reformulate customer event linking as a dense retrieval problem, where transactions act as queries and shopper identities act as documents in a vector search system. Transactions are encoded using a pretrained neural embedding model fine-tuned with contrastive learning, and incoming transactions are matched to shopper identities via approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search over billions of shopper embeddings. We will discuss the representation learning challenges that arise in this setting, including learning identity signals from partially observed identifiers and aggregating transaction histories into shopper representations, as well as the system architecture required to support real-time retrieval at scale using hierarchical routing, vector compression, and distributed ANN search.
**Bio**: Alex Egg is a Research Scientist at Adyen with a background in reinforcement learning. He previously worked on RL and LLM research at Meta, eBay, and UCSD.
**Speaker #2: Mohanna Hoveyda** from **Radboud University**
**Title**: The Reasoning Gap in Search: Overview of Current Paradigms and a Neurosymbolic Solution
**Abstract**: Information retrieval has long focused on ranking documents by semantic relatedness. Yet many real-world information needs demand more: enforcement of logical constraints, multi-step inference, and synthesis of multiple pieces of evidence.
Meeting these needs turns retrieval into a reasoning problem.
In this talk, we first overview the current landscape of reasoning approaches applied or adaptable to IR from the broader AI research, along with a framework to help compare and relate these approaches for future research.
We then present OrLog, our neuro-symbolic retrieval solution that addresses the reasoning gap for logically constrained queries. OrLog decouples predicate plausibility estimation from logical reasoning: an LLM provides plausibility scores for atomic predicates in a single generation-free forward pass, from which a probabilistic reasoning engine derives the posterior probability of query satisfaction. Evaluated across multiple backbone LLMs and logical constraint types, OrLog significantly improves top-rank precision while reducing token usage by approximately 90% per query-entity pair compared to LLM-as-reasoner baselines.
**Bio**: I am Mohanna, a PhD student at Radboud University. My research focuses on adaptive orchestration in multi-agent search systems using reinforcement learning, and on developing reasoning methods that require less compute.
**Counter:** SEA Talks #301 and #302.

🏛️ Pastime #2 – The Romans in the Netherlands: Nijmegen (Noviomagus)
📍 Meeting point: **Nijmegen Lent Station** (⚠️ not Nijmegen Centraal!)
🗓 **Saturday, March 28th, 2026**
🕑 **14:00**
After starting our journey through Dutch history with **Prehistory**, it’s time to move forward to the **Roman era**.
And when we talk about Romans in the Netherlands, there is one unavoidable place to go: **Nijmegen**, the oldest city in the country, founded by the Romans as **Noviomagus**.
We’ll start from the other side of the river Waal and walk towards the historic city centre, combining **river landscapes, green parks and urban history**. Along the way we’ll explore how the Romans conquered large parts of what is now the Netherlands, built forts and military camps along the Rhine (the *limes*), and established their first real city here. This walk is about **stories, traces and layers of history**—and about seeing Nijmegen through Roman eyes.
🥾 **The walk is about 5 km** and will take us through nature, parks and the city while discovering the Roman past of Nijmegen and the Netherlands.
***
🍺 **Post-walk drinks at Cafe De Zon**
After the walk we’ll stop at **Cafe De Zon** to relax and have a drink together. It’s a perfect moment to chat, share impressions from the walk and wind down.
If you like beer, you’ll also have the chance to try **Oersoep**, a local craft brewery from Nijmegen known for its creative and experimental beers. Of course, other drinks are available as well.
***
A walk through **Roman history**, beautiful riverside views, and a relaxed drink afterwards — a perfect **Pastime afternoon**.

buitenvaders op pad
Een wandeling voor vaders die het zichzelf gunnen om even te willen uitwaaien én de diepte in willen. We lopen samen door de natuur, ontmoeten elkaar en delen wat er echt speelt — als vader, als man, in je werk of gewoon in je hoofd.
Niets moet. Er is geen afleiding, alles draait om verbinden en inspireren. Onderweg doen we een aantal oefeningen, luisteren we naar elkaar en stellen we de vragen die er toe doen. Een ideaal moment om even tot jezelf te komen — die ontspanning neem je sowieso mee naar huis.
**Past dit bij jou?** Je hoeft geen antwoorden te hebben. Alleen de bereidheid om eerlijk te zijn — naar jezelf en naar de andere vaders om je heen.
**Wat kun je verwachten?**
* Een kleine groep van max. 8 vaders
* Een mooie route op de Veluwe
* Goede gesprekken en oefeningen onderweg
* Ruimte voor jouw verhaal
* Koffie/thee en een snack na afloop
Kortom: een wandeling waarmee je investeert in jezelf en je vaderschap.
duur: 10:00-12:00 uur / investering is wat jij het waard vindt
locatie: rondom Arnhem op de Veluwe
🏔️ Summit Hike – Everest Edition (8,848 m)
🏔️ Everest Update for the Veluwe Power Hikers
We were preparing for a classic VPH high altitude expedition on top of the world. Unfortunately there is some disappointing news. Starting in 2026, Nepal is introducing strict new regulations for climbing Mount Everest. Climbers will now need to have previously summited a 7,000 meter peak in Nepal and must also submit mandatory health certificates.
Because we cannot realistically summit a 7,000 meter peak and then climb Everest on the same day during our hike, I am unfortunately obliged to change the program.
There is also another small complication. 1 April falls on a Wednesday, which makes organizing the expedition a bit difficult.
After a poll in the WhatsApp group, we decided to move the date to **28 March** and climb the highest point of the Veluwe, **Signaal Imbosch (110 m)**. Even if it’s not Everest, don’t underestimate this hike: we will cover **22 km with about 350 metres of elevation gain** at a brisk pace. At this altitude, however, oxygen bottles are no longer recommended.
Please update your RSVP if you can no longer attend due to the change. ⛰️🥾
**When and Where to Meet?**
10:10 sharp at Rheden Trainstation. ⏰ Please arrive on time, as we won’t be able to wait for latecomers. 🥾✨
https://maps.app.goo.gl/VaEtswyBps5awMoL7
**Where and When Shall We Rest?**
We’ll take 2 breaks:
* Lunch break in nature at Signaal Imbosch (110 m) with group photo on summit; 20 min
* Snack and drink at Basecamp (80 m) where you can buy drinks and snacks; 30 min
**Notifications:**
* Technical equipment: avalanche transceiver (beacon), avalanche probe, and avalanche shovel (if you have them)
* A compact lunch and water to share at the summit
* The hike will only be canceled in case of severe avalanche risk (code 5).
* If you plan to bring a companion, please ensure that they are also registered for the hike.
* To be the first to get updates on new hikes, join our WhatsApp group! Feel free to ask for the QR code during the hike to easily join.
* T-shirts are now available for €25, made from Fairwear-certified organic cotton with eco-friendly inks—sustainable, odor-resistant, and perfect for your hiking adventures (limited stock, available during the hike)! Let me know your size and I will bring one for you!

Men's Group meetup
**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.**
How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently?
Then we will go into a topic discussion.

3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up.
4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space.
5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable.

Arthouse Friday: THE DRAMA at the Drexel Theatre!
Join us as we get together for an Arthouse Movie Friday event to see the A24 dark comedy /romance / psychological-thriller, THE DRAMA! The film stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a happily engaged couple whose relationship is challenged when one discovers unsettling truths about the other. Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: The film follows a happily engaged couple whose relationship is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails. The film comes from A24, is written/directed by Kristoffer Borgli stars Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Mamoudou Athie, Alana Haim, Hailey Gates and Zoë Winters.
QUICK WORD OF WARNING: The film hasn’t screened for critics yet and most of the details are being kept tightly under wraps. But, early buzz (possibly promotional) says the film is a brilliant psychological thriller/romance but also provocative, twisty and some contains occasional uncomfortable viewing! I love the cast and trailer, so look forward to seeing for ourselves!
ZENDAYA-PATTINSON TRIFECTA CHALLENGE: Robert Pattinson and Zendaya will star in THREE movies together this year, including THE DRAMA, Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY this Summer and Denis Villeneuve’s DUNE: PART THREE at Christmas!
TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk)
PLAN: We’ll plan for 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime! Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater but early arrival is advised. Possibly post-movie get-together at the nearby Rusty Bucket! Complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer.
Take care and look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Discount Tuesday: THEY WILL KILL YOU at the Gateway Film Center!
Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of two great films! Option 1 is the dark comedy/drama based on a true story TOW! The film stars Rose Byrne as a homeless Seattle woman how battles a towing company. Option 2 is the off-the-rails, over-the-top, action-comedy-horror THEY WILL KILL YOU! The film stars Zazie Beetz as a woman who answers a help wanted ad to be a housekeeper in a mysterious New York City high-rise not knowing its mysterious past! Here are details, trailers and our plan for this event:
TOW: This dark comedy/drama is based on a true story and follows a homeless Seattle woman who fights her way out of "tow-company hell" to reclaim the car that had held her life together after receiving a tow bill for $21,634. The film stars Rose Byrne, Ariana DeBose, Demi Lovato, Octavia Spencer, Dominic Sessa, Elsie Fisher and Simon Rex! The film premiered to solid reviews at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival where critics declared, “TOW is a winner!” It’s “a story of perseverance, heart, and real fight, the kind of small human story we see less frequently these days, but need now more than ever.” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdkpcsuPAhA
THEY WILL KILL YOU: A woman takes a job as a housekeeper in a NYC high-rise, unaware of the building's history of disappearances. She soon realizes the community is shrouded in mystery. The film is directed by Kirill Sokolov and Zadie Beetz, Myha'la, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, Heather Graham, and Patricia Arquette. The film is being released immediately following its premiere at this year’s SXSW Festival earlier this month. Early reviews say it’s “an adrenaline rush of action-packed fights, tons of blood and gore and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments” and a movie that’s “unafraid to march to its own campy, violent, and clever little drummer!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYqQPiXpi4w
PLAN: Not exactly a “Choose Your Movie” event, more like an early show and a late one (or both if you’re feeling sparky)!
\* If you’d like to see TOW, please purchase your ticket for the 5:00pm showing and meet in the upstairs lobby between 4:40 and 4:50pm!
\* If you plan to see THEY WILL KILL YOU, please purchase your ticket for the 7:45pm showing and meet in the upstairs lobby between 7:25 and 7:35pm!
\* Tickets for both films on sale now and advance purchase is advised! Tickets just $5.00 ($6.50 after online fees when purchased via the GFC website). Once you have yours, please list your movie of choice and seat number in the Comments section of this event.
\* Also, as a reminder, close, convenient parking available in the nearby garage (Between 9th and 11th, just off High) and just $2 when you have your ticket validated at the theater!
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
The Graduate
This 1967 film is widely regarded as one of the best American movies ever made. Now remembered almost as much for its Simon and Garfunkel music as its deadpan comedy and being the role that established Dustin Hoffman as the hottest actor in Hollywood. It became a cultural icon for capturing the spirit of 60s angst of a young man on the make, while garnering a batch of Oscar nominations.
After watching the movie on your own, join us to relive (or experience!) those feelings at our discussion.

Humanist Program
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online
