Compassion

Welcome to Paris, Erasmus family 🗼🌍 You’re not just arriving in a new city — you’re joining a community. New friendships, shared experiences, and memories we’ll build together. Bienvenue chez vous 💙

***[[nouveau lien pour s'inscrire à l'événement](https://luma.com/labelia-meetup-2-ia-de-confiance-et-causalite)]*** datacraft poursuit la relance des Meetups Labelia avec une deuxième rencontre dédiée à l'**intelligence artificielle explicable (XAI).** Pour cette édition, Rémi Kazmierczak, docteur en IA de l'Institut Polytechnique de Paris, présentera les avancées récentes de ses travaux en **intelligence artificielle explicable (XAI)**, en particulier dans le domaine de la **vision par ordinateur**. Ses recherches portent notamment sur l’évaluation et l’amélioration de la **fiabilité des explications produites par les modèles d’apprentissage profond.** Il introduira un cadre d’évaluation centré sur l’humain, nommé PASTA, qui propose de mesurer dans quelle mesure les explications générées par les systèmes d’IA correspondent réellement à la perception et au raisonnement humains. Cette approche met en évidence un enjeu clé de la XAI : une explication n’est utile que si elle est à la fois compréhensible par l’utilisateur et fidèle au modèle dont on veut expliquer l'inférence. En parallèle, il explorera les limites des approches actuelles basées sur des modèles de concepts issus de CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining : modèle entraîné à associer images et descriptions textuelles, permettant ainsi de relier des concepts visuels à des mots ou des phrases.) Ses travaux mettent en évidence des phénomènes tels que les « hallucinations de concepts » (le modèle attribue à une image des éléments qui n’y sont pas réellement présents) et les difficultés de localisation précise des régions pertinentes dans l’image. Ces limites posent des questions sur la robustesse et la fiabilité des méthodes actuelles d’explicabilité. Cette présentation offrira ainsi un éclairage sur les enjeux actuels de l’IA explicable et sur les pistes méthodologiques pour **concevoir des systèmes plus transparents, plus interprétables et dignes de confiance**. Comme lors du premier meetup, cette soirée sera aussi un moment de **travail collectif autour du label Labelia**. Au programme : – **Intervention de Dr Kazmierczak** – **Temps d’échange collectif** autour de l’évolution du référentiel Labelia – **Session de brainstorming et constitution de groupes de travail** pour réfléchir ensemble à l’intégration des nouveaux enjeux liés à **l’IA générative et à l’IA agentique** dans le référentiel, afin de maintenir Labelia à la pointe des pratiques et des technologies Ce meetup est ouvert à toutes les personnes souhaitant **contribuer activement à l’évolution d’un référentiel open source dédié à une IA responsable, fiable et auditable**. Rejoignez-nous pour échanger, partager vos idées et participer à la construction des prochaines étapes du label. ***[[nouveau lien pour s'inscrire à l'événement](https://luma.com/labelia-meetup-2-ia-de-confiance-et-causalite)]***

Au programme: échauffement, exercices de respiration (Pranayama), postures (Asanas), méditation et relaxation (Savasana). A dispo sur place: tapis, blocs, sangles, couvertures See you there, Claire ♥ Le yoga Vinyasa c'est quoi? Vinyasa est un terme Sanskrit qui signifie synchronisation du mouvement sur la respiration. Il est composé de deux racines : « nyasa » qui signifie « placer » et « vi » qui signifie « d'une manière spécifique ». On définit donc le yoga Vinyasa comme un enchaînement de mouvements dynamiques, initié et harmonisé par la respiration. Le yoga vinyasa est issu du yoga Ashtanga, qui lui consiste à exécuter une série de postures dans un ordre bien précis. À la différence de l'Ashtanga, le yoga Vinyasa est plus libre et créatif : il n'impose aucune série de mesures. Les enchaînements sont le fruit de l'expérience acquise par l'enseignant et sont adaptables aux besoins de chacun. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- INFOS PRATIQUES \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ✖ STUDIO UN AIR DE FAMILLE - 26 rue du Château Landon, 75010 Paris - L'entrée se fait directement par le restaurant à droite du n°26 ✖ Début du cours 19h30.

Vladimir Korolenko **En mauvaise compagnie et autres récits ukrainiens et sibériens (un recueil de 6 nouvelles) :** 1 En mauvaise compagnie 1884 2 La poupée 3 Le doigt du Diable 4 Les Cormorans, 5 La forêt murmure 1886 6 Le sonneur 1885 206 pages Volcans (impression sur demande) *Vers midi, le ciel s’obscurcit et se couvrit de nuages ; puis une pluie à verse s’abattit, bruyante, accompagnée de joyeux coups de tonnerre. Je n’avais pas vraiment envie de descendre dans le souterrain, mais sachant que Valek et Maroussia y passaient l’essentiel de leur vie, surmontant ma gêne, je descendis avec eux.* *Tout y était sombre et silencieux. D’au-dessus nous parvenait le grondement du tonnerre, comme si quelqu'un poussait un lourd charroi sur d’énormes pavés…* Un extrait d'*En mauvaise compagnie* de Korolenko Note sur l'écrivain : **l'un des plus grands écrivains de son temps**, apprécié entre autres par Tchekhov (et aussi comparé à Tchekhov), il reste largement inconnu en France. Si nous ne le lisons pas plus souvent, c'est seulement à cause de l'indisponibilité des traductions de ses livres. C'est pour cela que je me réjouis de chaque opportunité de le lire avec vous. Ce sera notre dernier Korolenko. Illustration de Yu. Terebilov **VERSION PAPIER** Vous pouvez commander ce recueil sur le site de la librairie du Globe et choisir le retrait en magasin, ou sur de nombreux sites : celui de la librairie Volcans, sur Amazon, sur Eyrolles, Place des libraires, etc. **LIVRE ÉLECTRONIQUE** *En mauvaise compagnie* est trouvable sur internet, mais les autres nouvelles ne le sont peut-être pas. **PRIX** 10 euros, à régler sur place ou par Wero. Les 10 euros servent à récompenser le temps et les efforts de préparation et d'organisation (je prépare beaucoup d'informations sur le livre et l'écrivain) ainsi qu'à couvrir l'abonnement sur le site Meetup (200 euros par an), l'abonnement occasionnel sur TMS (20 euros par mois) et l'achat des livres si nécessaire. **COMMENT NOUS TROUVER ?** On se retrouve à l'intérieur du café Tourville situé au 1, place de l'École Militaire. On s'installe d'habitude à l'étage.

🍩🍰 Let's have a weekly deep talk in an intimate Parisian café, share a drink and have a good time with like-minded, lovely and chill people. 🥂☕ We're here to sip life in a childish, simple and non-serious way. 🙃 When was the last time you had a meaningful conversation? Or deepened your relationship with someone in your life? It's not easy to have a deep conversation. While small talk, which is typically casual and light-hearted, can help break the ice, it may not necessarily help you form a deep, emotional connection with someone. Whether it's with your friends, family, colleagues or romantic partners, having meaningful conversations is important for creating strong bonds. "Meaningful conversations help us understand ourselves and those around us better. They involve sharing important aspects of ourselves and actively listening, validating and connecting with others." We believe that a happy and healthy life is built on beautiful relationships and that loneliness kills us. That's it. It's not the number of friends that counts, it's the quality of the relationship. ✅ This group is adressed to : ● People who want to build deep, genuine and caring relationships in a small group that looks the same, where they feel comfortable and emotionally safe to talk emotionally and get intimate about anything in their lives. ● Simple, loving, kind, hyper/sensitive and lovely people who spend a lot of time in their bubble thinking about the meaning of life, passionate about personal development, philosophy, meaningful conversations, debates .... ⛔ Please don't subscribe if : ● You don't see yourself in the group's aims and beliefs. ● You're travelling for a short period of time and don't live or intend to live in Paris. ● You are not sure if you will be able to come, please update your status to allow others on the waiting list to join. An absence without notice will result in an irrevocable ban. Progress : ● ❗ For reservations, I'll send you a private Meetup message at least 5 hours before the meeting to confirm your reservation. If I don't receive a reply 2 hours before the meeting, I will send you a second message to let you know that you will be replaced by someone on the waitlist. ● 💚 We keep the session small, cosy and relaxed in a quiet place, prioritising regularity to encourage intimacy, connection, listening and speaking. (\~ 5/6 people) ● 🔖 On arrival, if you feel comfortable, you will be suggested to choose and associate several drawn Feelings and Needs cards to express how you really feel at the moment, to talk about ourselves and communicate effectively. ● 📝 The best way to make progress is to make the conversation easy and natural, with everyone making an effort to suggest and write down what you want to talk about. You can write down your favourite topics/questions before the meeting. The meeting is participative and invite everyone if you feel comfortable being a leader and a power of suggestion. Anyway, to keep the meeting running smoothly, I'll animate the meeting to make sure the conversation doesn't get wild or boring and I wouldn't hesitate to reframe people. In case of lack of inspiration we have a lot of deep conversation question card game which can help to find interesting questions. ● 🍕 (Not compulsory) After the meeting we can finish in a nearby restaurant for those who wish to relax or continue our conversation. Advice for a good moment : ● Leave your ego and mask at home, we are not here to impress anyone but to be ourselves with our strength, weakness, pride and shame. Come with an open/deep/emotional/complex thought and vulnerability. ● Ask open-ended questions and invite the other person to describe what a situation was like for them or how they felt. ● Don't hesitate to be vulnerable and share information about yourself if needed. Consider sharing personal information first to gain the other person's trust. ● Adopt an attitude of curiosity and genuine interest in what the other person is saying. Be thoughtful and try to put yourself in the other person's shoes so that you can see things from their perspective. Be truthful, caring and honest. ● Listen actively and ask follow-up questions. ● Be empathetic and offer emotional validation so that they feel seen and heard. It is forbidden to judge, but try to understand. ● ⏱ Be aware of your speaking time for Equally Speak. ● 🤫 Be aware never to provoke political or religious ideologies, but to accept differences of belief. Advice on non-violent communication can be given in the meeting to learn not to unintentionally hurt anyone when requested or needed. ● 🚨 Remember to maintain a safe, and benevolent environment. People who are considered to be disruptive, problematic or simply not in tune with the energy of the group will not be allowed to return. Finally, we're hug-friendly !!! 🤗

**Step into the laid-back charm of Cosy Cave Conversations**, a Parisian philosophy chat that's more relaxed than a cat in a sunbeam 🐈 🌞 Gather with a bunch of easygoing souls, share thoughts on the good life and its mysteries, enjoy a beverage, and have a good laugh. A few things to be aware of: * **Please** **don't show up without a spot** (we aim to keep it cosy and we always have a waiting list these days — check if you’re on the list or the waiting list) * If it's your first event, it's essential you **turn up early, or at the latest on time (<7pm)** so you understand how it works, what the topic is and don't interrupt the session * The **session runs from 7pm to 8:30pm** where we focus on the discussion, but don't worry, you'll have a chance to socialise, introduce yourselves and continue the chat after the session. **If you’re running late** (the curtains are closed), that’s okay, but please wait to join us in the break rather than interrupting the session. * Please read the **tips below** for a good session before coming along **How does it work?** We embrace the café-philo method — proposing intriguing topics on the night (up to 3), choosing one together, and diving into everything from consciousness, community, death and god, while managing to keep it light and easy 🦦 **Forget the stiff atmosphere**, we're all about small groups (\~10 people) and unpretentious chats with no homework required. No need for a philosophy degree, just bring your open mind and a dash of curiosity. **Join us every Wednesday 19h-20h30 at Les Acolytes** — because pondering the profound is better with good company (and a pint). See you there! 🎉 A few tips for a great session: * come with an **open and curious mind** 🧠 * **prioritise listening to others and asking questions** without interrupting or long monologues 👂 * we put a strong **emphasise on giving everyone a chance to contribute to the discussion**, so try and be aware of how much space and time you take up when speaking 🐻‍❄️ * we prioritise **intellectual accessibility**: this is not an academic group therefore we ask to keep any philosophy jargon to a minimum and instead explain any concepts in plain english 🤠 * we are an **apolitical group** that focuses on discussing and exploring philosophical ideas without endorsing or aligning with any specific political or religous ideologies. Our aim is to encourage open, unbiased dialogue centered on philosophical inquiry within a safe and respectful environment 🐥

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches. * **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason. * **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes. ## Discussion Questions 1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie. 2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?** 3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome? 4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend? 5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles? 6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way? 7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time? 8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?
