Data Analytics

Dear Data Wizards, We are looking forward to inviting all of you to our next meetup. **IF YOU WISH TO PARTICIPATE IN PERSON, PLEASE REACH OUT TO KRISTIAN DIRECTLY AS WE NEED TO REGISTER YOU IN THE CIRCLE.** **Topics** * What's New - Kristian * Data Quality Testing - Louis * Introduction to DAX User Defined Functions (UDFs) - Marco The session will be recorded and made available on YouTube --> [https://aka.ms/FabricUGYouTube](https://aka.ms/FabricUGYouTube) **Data Quality Testing** A hands-on introduction to data quality in the data warehouse context. The session highlights why data quality is business-critical, outlines different types of tests, explains the distinction between syntactic and semantic validations, and demonstrates how to integrate a step-by-step testing strategy into existing data pipelines. Covering everything from quick wins to advanced monitoring approaches, in a tool-agnostic manner. **Introduction to DAX User Defined Functions (UDFs)** A user-defined function is a DAX formula with parameters that can return values or tables. Parameters can be passed by value or by expression. In this session, you will learn how to define and consume user-defined functions in your semantic model, how to share them in different models, and how to use function libraries created by the community! **Sponsor** We are happy to share that this meetup is kindly sponsored by our partner Altyca, who is hosting the apéro for this event. A big thank-you to Altyca for supporting the Fabric & Power BI community and helping us create a great setting for learning, discussion, and networking. **Good to know** We want this group to be a safe environment that encourages open discussion, exchange of ideas and problems you may face. Therefore, we kindly ask that no members will leverage the information for unsolicited acquisitions of new customers or projects. This group builds on trust, and without it we cannot learn from each other and excel on this topic. **Want to be a presenter?** We are always looking for new speaker. If you are interested and would like to show something to the Power BI Meetup Group please feel free to contact us!

### L’innovazione open source come driver strategico per l’impresa Un’intera giornata dedicata all’analisi dei trend che stanno ridefinendo le infrastrutture enterprise e l’intero ecosistema tecnologico. Dalla sicurezza della software supply chain alla scalabilità dei dati fino all’integrazione dell’IA generativa, l’open source rappresenta oggi il pilastro fondamentale per il prossimo decennio di evoluzione digitale. I Canonical Days sono eventi gratuiti progettati per IT leader, architetti e decision-maker focalizzati sulla modernizzazione dello stack tecnologico. Attraverso keynote di alto profilo, sessioni tecniche e il confronto con esperti del settore, verranno delineate le strategie necessarie per rendere la roadmap aziendale resiliente e competitiva. ## Focus e obiettivi L’evento analizza i pilastri fondamentali delle infrastrutture moderne, trasformando la visione tecnologica in un piano operativo concreto: * Architetture Cloud: Analisi delle soluzioni per la migrazione da sistemi proprietari, cloud repatriation e adozione di piattaforme aperte per garantire controllo operativo, efficienza e libertà dai vincoli dei singoli vendor. * Scalabilità dei dati e innovazione AI: Dall’ottimizzazione dei database all’AI inference, un approfondimento su come accelerare la trasformazione basata sull’intelligenza artificiale all’interno dei processi organizzativi. * Sicurezza della software supply chain: Integrazione dell’innovazione tecnologica senza compromettere sicurezza e conformità. Focus sull’adozione di piattaforme affidabili e cataloghi open source certificati per la mitigazione dei rischi e l’ottimizzazione del time-to-market. ## L’iniziativa rappresenta un’importante occasione per acquisire insight strategici e favorire il networking tra peer e la leadership di Canonical. | Giugno 11 2026 | Canonical Meetup | | | -------------- | ---------------- | --- | | 09:15 - 10:00 | Registrazione e Benvenuto | | | 10:00 - 10:30 | Infrastruttura Open Source e Cloud Sovrano | | | 10:30 - 11:00 | Sovereign cloud infrastructure: un caso studio | | | 11:00 - 11:30 | Sicurezza e Compliance con Ubuntu Pro | | | 11:30 - 12:00 | Coffee break | | | 12:00 - 12:30 | Data Solutions | | | 12:30 - 13:00 | Kubernetes, Containers e Cloud Native Infra | | | 13:00 - 14:00 | Pranzo e networking | | Oggi l’open source non è più una semplice alternativa, ma un requisito fondamentale per la resilienza operativa.

Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served. This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.

Join the Columbus AI community for a special event. **Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works. We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks. This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations. Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

**Abstract:** Motivated by the challenges of detecting extremely rare failures in sophisticated circuit design specifications, we study the problem of efficiently identifying multiple disjoint regions of interest (ROIs) — regions of a continuous, high-dimensional parameter space where a complex, expensive-to-evaluate target function falls below or above a pre-specified threshold. We reframe this problem as a Bayesian sequential decision-making problem and, more broadly, as an instance of strategic agent behavior in continuous spaces: an agent that must allocate a hard evaluation budget intelligently, updating its belief about the unknown function after each observation and choosing the next query to maximize coverage of all disjoint failure regions rather than convergence to a single optimum. This is a *hybrid* event.
