Prime Midlife May Breakfast Club
Prime Midlife May Breakfast Club
You've put in the years. Built the track record. Earned the title. So why does it feel like something's still missing? Maybe it shows up as a restlessness you can't quite explain. A longer pause when someone asks what you do. A growing sense that who you are at work is only part of the story and not even the most interesting part anymore. This breakfast is for the mid-career professional who's starting to feel a little too big for a single label. We'll dig into what it actually looks like to craft a fuller life, one with more dimensions, more meaning, more of *you* in it without blowing up the career you've spent decades building. No dramatic pivots. No quitting your day job. Just an open, grounded conversation with people who get it. **What you'll walk away with:** * Clarity on what you're really looking for at this stage of your working life * Words for the quiet dissatisfaction that's been hard to articulate * Genuine connection with others asking the same honest questions * A few simple prompts to keep the reflection going after breakfast Date: 9 May 2026 (Saturday) Time: 10 am - 11.30 am Venue: M&T, 5 Wallich St, #01 - 12 Guoco Tower, Singapore 078883 Please register and pay here: https://luma.com/uq0flisu

Your Evals Are Bad: Evaluation and the Model Development Lifecycle
Your Evals Are Bad: Evaluation and the Model Development Lifecycle
**REGISTER AT THE LUMA EVENT PAGE!!!** https://luma.com/27ja5gwl Join us for an exciting talk by Mary Gibbs, Senior Applied Scientist at Relativity. ​ ​**​Agenda:** ​​6:00 - 6:30 PM - Welcome and mingle 6:30- 6:45 PM - Introductions 6:45 - 7:30 PM - Talk 7:30 - 8:00 PM - Wrap up **​​Description:** ​If you have ever shipped a model, watched your metrics improve, and later learned from your users that something was wrong, the metrics were always wrong. You just didn’t know it yet. An evaluation consists of three components, a benchmark, a scorer, and a claim about what a score represents. Each component has its own weaknesses. Benchmarks can suffer from narrow coverage, contamination, or saturation. Scorers are often chosen for ease of automation or computation rather than for their alignment with user outcomes. And the claim connecting a score to reality is rarely made explicit. These gaps compound across the model development lifecycle. When metrics improve, teams treat that as a signal and optimize directly against it, which is how a measurement problem becomes a model problem. This talk maps where evaluations can go wrong, considers counterarguments, and ends with practical advice for building better ones. **​Speaker Bio:** ​Mary is a Senior Applied Scientist at Relativity, tackling data science challenges in the e-discovery and legal tech space. She is also an organizer for Women and Gender eXpansive Coders DC (formerly Women Who Code DC), fostering a community dedicated to empowering women and nonbinary individuals to excel in their careers. Mary's experience spans various domains. She has developed data science solutions related to job search and career progression at Teal, cybersecurity challenges at LiveAction Software, and commercial and government consulting at Mosaic Data Science. Before venturing into the field of data science, Mary conducted and published research pertaining to the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopment at the National Institutes of Health. In other words, she has dissected and imaged a lot of fruit fly brains. She holds a M.S. in Data Science from The George Washington University and a B.A. in Biological Sciences from Cornell University
