Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille. Antonio

L'evento è gratuito: per partecipare, **è necessario [iscriversi qui](https://www.eventbrite.it/e/biglietti-meetup-12-rag-night-1981586932859?aff=oddtdtcreator)**. Dodicesimo meetup della nostra community, questa volta dedicato a **Retrieval-Augmented Generation**, la tecnica più utilizzata quando dobbiamo chiedere ad un LLM di produrre testo che consideri anche informazioni non disponibili al momento della data di cut-off del training. 18:30 Apertura check-in 19:00 Talk "Opening" 19:15 Talk "ChatGPT under the hood" 19:45 Talk "Dal feedback umano ai dati: RAG evaluation senza sorprese" 20:15 Aperitivo e networking **ChatGPT under the hood** Cosa rende **ChatGPT** (l'app)... ChatGPT? Perché, ad esempio, a parità di modello ChatGPT spesso risponde diversamente da **Copilot**? Diamo una occhiata sotto al cofano, e capiamo come e perchè il modello è solo una parte della soluzione **Dal feedback umano ai dati: RAG evaluation senza sorprese** Valutare i sistemi RAG è complesso: il feedback umano è soggettivo, lento e non standardizzato, rendendo difficile misurare l’efficacia dei sistemi in scenari diversi. Aletheia nasce per risolvere questo problema. È un pacchetto Python che rende la valutazione dei sistemi RAG semplice, veloce e riproducibile. Grazie a metriche standardizzate, fornisce misure quantitative e oggettive delle performance. L’intervento mostrerà come Aletheia analizzi sia la qualità dei contenuti recuperati (i chunk) sia quella delle risposte generate dai LLM, offrendo una visione completa e integrata del sistema. I team potranno così diagnosticare problemi, ottimizzare flussi di retrieval e generation e prendere decisioni basate su dati concreti.

Dear all, we’re back with the PyData meetups, focused as always on sharing best practice, methodologies, analysis, machine learning systems, .., with the open-source projects of the [NumFOCUS](https://numfocus.org/sponsored-projects) program — but not only! We’ll meet **#InPresence on Thursday, February 26 at 7:00 PM**. We’ll be hosted by [Anda Venice Hostel](https://www.andavenice.com/) in the Medusa Room and, for those who cannot join us, it will also be on YouTube in **#streaming**. We’ll have two interesting sessions in English : [Alejo Nahuel Rossia](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alejo-rossia-2a1881225/) will present SMEFiT, a fully **#BayesianAnalysis** package for high-dimensional inference. The talk will cover its physical motivation, technical architecture, and efficient sampling via **#NestedSampling** and **#JAX** parallelization. [Mario De Nisi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mario-de-nisi/) will present **#Trading** Lab, a **#DataDriven** system for real-time **#portfolio** simulation using predictive models and multi-timeframe features. The talk will explore how implicit definitions of **#risk** and return can be derived directly from data, reducing heuristic assumptions in **#DecisionMaking**.

**Are you ready for the Milano–Cortina Winter Olympics? We’re not.** **That’s why we’ve created our very own Ostello Bello "Olympic" Games: a glorious display of questionable athletic skills and high-level nonsense.** While the "other" guys are busy with the official **Milano-Cortina 2026** ceremonies, we’re bringing the real "action" to the streets of Milan. From February 6th, we aren't gathering to break world records; we’re gathering to break the laws of physics. This isn’t about the podium; it’s about the survival of the chillest. Get your "winter" gear ready, because we’re about to prove that being an elite athlete is 10% talent and 90% just showing up for the vibes. **The Incentive:** Every participant gets a **shot**. The "legends" who actually win take home an **Ostello Bello T-shirt or a Drink**. ## The Disciplines: Official "Technical" Standards Every day from **7 PM to 9 PM**, our "athletes" will face a rotating schedule of these elite winter disciplines: ### 1\. Air Hockey: The Wrist\-Flick Battle A high-speed duel where the only thing frozen is your gaze on the puck. * **The Goal:** Smash the plastic disc into the hole. * **Requirement:** Move your hand faster than your brain can process and celebrate every point like you’ve just secured a gold medal. ### 2\. Boxing\-Glove Beer Pong: The Clumsy Champion Challenge We took a classic and made it impossible by adding the "Yeti factor." * **The Twist:** You have to play wearing massive, padded boxing gloves. * **The Challenge:** Gripping a tiny ball with giant hands is the ultimate test of patience. Success here is statistically unlikely and basically a miracle. ### 3\. DIY Curling: The Professional Slide The most serious-looking sport in our program. We’ve replaced expensive stones with pots and ice with felt pads, but the tension is real. * **The Setup:** A "House" (target) taped on the floor and a "Hog Line" for the release. * **The Action:** Launch the pot while your teammates run alongside it with brooms, screaming *"Hurry! Hard!"* just like in the real tournaments. * **The Score:** Closest pot to the center wins. Clean floors are a bonus. ### BONUS DAY: The "Wildcard" Game The discipline is a mystery. Our local legends will choose the challenge. Expect the unexpected: and probably more shots. **AND REPEAT.**

** SUNDAY MATCHDAY** Big screens, loud reactions and opinions nobody asked for. Grab a drink, pick a side (or change it mid-game), and enjoy sports the social way. Ref complaints included. ⋯⋯⋯ Ostello Bello Milano Centrale - Via Lepetit 33, Milano Posti limitati. - Ingresso gratuito tramite registrazione Ti ricordiamo che nel corso dell’evento potranno essere effettuate delle riprese di immagini fotografiche e audio-video con diritti di utilizzo ad uso esclusivo del locale. www.ostellobello.com https://www.instagram.com/ostellobello.milanocentrale/

Session Abstract ### **Data Cleansing using Data Bricks** Machine Learning is highly dependent on adequate data. Not only does quantity matter, but more importantly quality. In this session we’ll cover how to build a custom automated process using Data Bricks. This will provide methods for cleaning data in a data lake using functions in Azure. \*Please note, that we will be using Microsoft Teams for the online portion of this meeting. You may want to join a few minutes early to ensure you do not have any issues. If you are attending in person, there are large TVs at the office, and you do not need to bring a laptop or use Teams.

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
