We are pleased to welcome **Eva Flonner** from UNIQA Insurance Group to present an R package for health insurance. Join us to explore how R can be put to work in actuarial practice, from data to modeling to simulation. As we promote gender diversity and inclusion in the R community, all genders and skill levels in R are welcome! **ℹ️ Abstract** **HePriceR** is an R package for health insurance pricing that provides a framework for modeling expected claims and their uncertainty. The package consolidates classical actuarial approaches with modern statistical modeling, enabling transparent, reproducible, and extensible actuarial workflows. The core focus of HePriceR lies in the estimation of expected claims and their uncertainty. It implements multiple methodological approaches, including the Rusam method for expected claims, as well as comprehensive frequency–severity modeling. The package further provides technical implementations for common product design features, such as deductibles, sublimits, and benefit caps, ensuring that modeled claim distributions align with contractual reality. From a software design perspective, HePriceR relies on a structured system of S3 classes and methods, including dedicated hpr_pricing_data objects and corresponding fit objects. This design enables consistent handling of data, fitted models, diagnostics, and downstream simulation. On top of the fitted models, the package offers Monte Carlo simulation capabilities. Overall, HePriceR provides a cohesive actuarial toolkit that bridges actuarial methodology and statistical modeling, supporting both daily operations and advanced analytical use cases. This package is based on joint work with Herr Kompott. **🗺️ Location** Seminar Room DC red 07 / Sem.R.

Hi Deep Learners, We are happy to announce one more Vienna Deep Learning Meetup before the summer break: on **June 10** at ÖBB. We will again have two talks: Agentic AI in Production and Exploratory Causal Inference. \*\*\* **Agenda:** * 18:15 Arrival * 18:30 **Introduction** by the meetup organizers * **Welcome** by the host: ÖBB * 18:45 **Talk 1: Agentic AI Systems in Production: Best Practices, Challenges & Lessons Learned** by Hilda Kosorus (*Onefold AI*) * 19:30 **Announcements** * **Networking Break** * 20:00 **Talk 2:** **Scaling Empiricism in Artificial Causal Inference** by Riccardo Cadei *(ISTA)* * 20:30 **Networking** * \~21:30 **Wrap up & End** \*\*\* **Talk Details:** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Talk 1:** **Agentic AI Systems in Production: Best Practices, Challenges & Lessons Learned** Building agentic AI systems that work in production is harder than the demos suggest. Real users, real data, and real edge cases surface challenges that don't show up in most tutorials. We must consider orchestration trade-offs, observability gaps, evaluation strategy, latency and cost realities. There's constant tension between giving agents autonomy and keeping them under control. In this talk, we share what we've learned shipping agentic systems end-to-end. We'll walk through how our architectures evolved and the trade-offs behind each shift, and we'll be honest about which frameworks — such as LangGraph, LangChain, Langfuse — earned their place in our stack. Expect architecture diagrams and the patterns we now apply to lead our custom projects to success. **About the speaker:** We are Onefold AI — Tobi, Csenge, and Hilda. We combine deep LLM engineering with a research foundation, years of data science work, and multiple agentic systems shipped end-to-end into production. Our recent projects span compliance and audit automation, multi-agent workspaces for food scientists, and our own product development — all building on the hard-won lessons we'll share in this session. **Talk 2:** **Scaling Empiricism in Artificial Causal Inference** Randomized trials are the gold standard of empirical science, yet their analysis still hinges on hand-crafted hypotheses: the investigator has to decide upfront what to measure and whom to compare, often anchoring on familiar narratives. A paradigm shift is now within reach: modern trials measure more, and representation learning gives us the tools to scale the reading accordingly. In this talk, I will present two algorithms I developed to bridge this richer measurement to causal claims, e.g., scientific discoveries or policy guidelines. Neural Effect Search (NES) identifies the latent effects of a treatment from unstructured outcomes. Neural EXposure Interaction Search (NEXIS) identifies an interpretable and prescriptive characterization of effect heterogeneity. I will illustrate both through real-world deployments in experimental ecology and development economics. **About the speaker:** Riccardo Cadei is an ELLIS PhD student at ISTA with a growing record of foundational, methodological, and applied contributions to Causal Inference and AI for Science. He actively collaborates with biologists, neuroscientists, economists, and public-health researchers, translating his vision of Artificial Causal Inference into concrete scientific workflows. We are looking forward to welcoming you at our last meetup before summer! Your VDLM organizer team

Join us for an interactive disability justice workshop with Deloria Patton exploring how disabled people navigate systems, services, and support structures in Austria. Disability justice asks an important question: What would society look like if accessibility, care, and inclusion were built into our communities from the beginning? This workshop combines political education with practical information. Participants will explore how ableist systems create barriers while also learning about the resources, rights, and support services that currently exist. Whether you are disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent, a caregiver, a support worker, an ally, or simply interested in creating more accessible communities, you are warmly welcome. **What Is Disability Justice?** Disability justice goes beyond legal accessibility requirements. It recognizes that many barriers are created by systems, institutions, policies, and environments rather than by people’s bodies or minds. Together, we will discuss: * What disability justice means in practice * How ableism shapes everyday experiences * Why accessibility benefits everyone * The relationship between disability rights and social justice * Community care, interdependence, and collective support * Creating more inclusive spaces and communities **Navigating the Austrian Support System** Many people are entitled to support but never receive it because the process of accessing services can be confusing, overwhelming, and difficult to navigate. This workshop will provide practical information about: * Behindertenpass (Disability Pass) * Pflegegeld (Care Allowance) * Accessible and supported housing options * Social work and counselling services * Eurokey access systems * Heimhilfe and personal support services * Community resources and support networks * Where to start when seeking assistance Participants will gain a clearer understanding of available services and how to access them. **Who Should Attend?** This workshop is open to: * Disabled people * Chronically ill people * Neurodivergent people * Deaf and hard-of-hearing people * Blind and low-vision people * Caregivers and personal assistants * Social workers and community organisers * Family members and friends * Anyone interested in disability justice and accessibility No previous knowledge is required. **About the Facilitator** **Deloria Patton** Deloria Patton is a disability justice advocate and educator dedicated to making information more accessible and helping people navigate systems that often create unnecessary barriers. Through community education, advocacy, and practical support, Deloria works toward greater accessibility, inclusion, and social justice. **Why This Workshop Matters** Disability justice starts with understanding that disabled people are often excluded not because of their bodies or minds, but because systems are designed without accessibility in mind. Many forms of support already exist in Austria. However, accessing them can feel like a full-time job. This workshop aims to make information clearer, more accessible, and more actionable. By understanding both the barriers and the available resources, participants can better advocate for themselves, support others, and contribute to more accessible communities. **Accessibility Information** This event takes place at Villa Vida Café, Linke Wienzeile 102, 1060 Vienna. Accessibility features include: * Step-free entrance * Wheelchair-accessible ground floor venue * Accessible toilet * Seating available throughout the event * Service animals welcome * Free drinking water available * Staff and volunteers available to assist when needed If you have additional accessibility requirements, please contact us before the event. We will do our best to accommodate individual access needs. Everyone deserves access to information, support, and community. We look forward to learning together and exploring practical ways to navigate systems while advancing disability justice in Austria.

**Presenter:** Matthew Hess, Microsoft MVP **Time:** Pizza at 6:00, Presentation Starts at 6:30pm Eastern **Location:** Theoris, 9000 Keystone Crossing, Either Downstairs or in Suite 230 if main meeting room isn't available, Indianapolis In 2019 (C# 8.0) Microsoft introduced a feature that has generated a lot of confusion, debate and outright dissent. I'm talking about Nullable Reference Types. In this presentation, I we dig into this feature, explore why it exists, what problem it tries to solve, how it works, and how people have critiqued it, so that you as a programmer can decide if and how you want to use it. Looking forward to seeing you there!

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** *Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code* Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
