**In palio per la coppia vincitrice:**
2 borsellini da polso

\#\#\# UX TALKS
**Talk 1: Align or Fail: When Brand Meets UX**
[Mario Restrepo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mario-restrepo/), Creative Director
Every interaction shape perception and tells a brand story, whether intended or not.
In this talk, we explore why UX is the space where brand promises are either proven or broken, and why, in the age of AI, alignment between brand and user experience has become a strategic imperative.
Drawing on real-world examples, this talk reframes UX designers as brand storytellers, and UX deciders and stakeholders as guardians of trust. It also introduces an **AI-driven Brand Sentiment Analysis workflow**, showing how teams can translate user signals into actionable insights, and design experiences that don’t just function, but reinforce how a brand is felt, remembered, and believed.
**Talk 2: The UX evolution: thriving in the age of intelligent systems**
[David Grunewald](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidgrunewald/), Founder of Pluginto.ai , AI-Strategist
AI is fundamentally changing how UX professionals work, but it's amplifying our capabilities, not replacing them.
This 45-minute session explores what's actually happening in 2026. You'll see real implementations from banking, healthcare, and other sectors: proactive systems that anticipate needs, conversational interfaces that adapt to individual patterns, and hyper-personalisation at scale.
We'll examine **four trends reshaping UX practice and, more importantly, what they mean for your daily work**. What's being automated? What's gaining value? And what are the five essential skills that set you apart in an AI-augmented world?
You'll leave with clarity on how to evolve your practice and confidence that your human expertise remains your competitive advantage.

## What we’re about
Buongiorno a tutti. 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.

M12 - RAG Night
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.
PyDataVE #25 - #BayesianAnalysis & #Trading
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**.
And afterwards\, for those who want\, we’ll stay there for \( \| \) & \( \| \) and **#networking** until late ‼️
And if you’d like to share ideas, projects, topics, or propose yourself as the next speaker, here’s the usual [Google form](https://forms.gle/rVMWxFnodHaNb9ab9) or [Sessionize](https://sessionize.com/pydata-venice-2025-12-18) !

Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit - Barret Blake
**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**
*Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation*
Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification.
You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written.
This talk will cover:
--What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t)
--How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows
--Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development
--Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence
Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects.
