71st Deep Learning Meetup: Agentic RAG / Music Surprise Estimation
Hi Deep Learners,
Our first Deep Learning Meetup in 2026 is taking place on **January 26** at Sky lounge of Raiffeisenbank International in Wien Mitte. Our topics this time are: Agentic RAG and Surprise Estimation in Music.
\*\*\*
**Agenda:**
* 18:30 **Introduction** by the meetup organizers
* **Welcome** by the host: Raiffeisenbank International
* 18:45 **Talk 1:** **Agentic RAG: Advances in Autonomous Information Retrieval, Quantized Indexing, and Scalable System Design** by Liad Magen *(Raiffeisen Bank International)*
* 19:30 **Announcements**
* **Networking Break**
* 20:00 **Talk 2:** **Surprise Estimation in Music** by Mathias Bjare *(Johannes Kepler University)*
* 20:45 **Networking**
* \~22:00 **Wrap up & End**
\*\*\*
**Talk Details:**
**Talk 1: Agentic RAG: Advances in Autonomous Information Retrieval, Quantized Indexing, and Scalable System Design**
Agentic RAG systems enable AI to plan how to find and utilize information autonomously, moving beyond simple lookup-and-answer patterns. Traditional RAG follows a fixed approach: retrieve documents, then generate an answer. Agentic RAG, on the other hand, utilizes autonomous agents that can reason through problems in multiple steps, reformulate queries intelligently, and adapt their retrieval strategy based on what they discover. This talk examines the architecture and capabilities of agentic RAG, focusing on how retrieval strategies have evolved to support multi-hop reasoning (following chains of related information), tool integration, and agent-driven workflows. Special attention will be paid to recent advances in quantized indexing and vector search, including Matryoshka embeddings. This technique stores information at multiple levels of detail, enabling scalable retrieval with tunable trade-offs between accuracy and storage.
**About the Speaker:**
Liad Magen is a senior data scientist at Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) and serves as the product owner of the Data Science Academy, an internal school within the RBI to upskill employees in machine learning and data science. In addition, he is teaching selected courses on NLP, computer vision and Information Retrieval as part of Master's degrees in Hochschule Campus Wien (HCW) and the university of applied sciences - IMC Krems.
**Talk 2: Surprise Estimation in Music**
The presentation will focus on Bjare's work on latent autoregressive diffusion models for computationally estimating experienced "expectedness" and "surprise" (surprisal) in music listening, presented at [Neurips 2025 - AI for Music Workshop](https://openreview.net/forum?id=rXUKO0ysUy&referrer=%5BAuthor%20Console%5D(%2Fgroup%3Fid%3DNeurIPS.cc%2F2025%2FWorkshop%2FAI4Music%2FAuthors%23your-submissions)). We revisit an established connection between music appreciation during listening and the extent to which humans or autoregressive models can predict musical continuations. We visit [Music2Latent](https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.06500), an open-source, computationally efficient audio codec used as the audio representation on which surprisal is modeled. We review GPT-style autoregressive diffusion models and show how they are suitable for surprisal estimation. We discuss the prediction of EEG responses to music listening based on our surprise estimates.
**About the Speaker:**
Mathias Rose Bjare is a fourth year PhD student at the Institute of Computational Perception, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria. He builds computational models for the estimation of musical expectancy and surprisal in audio and general symbolic music using modern artificial neural networks. His surprisal estimates enable research into how features of general recorded music correlate with neural responses to music listening
We'd like to thank Raiffeisen International for providing the venue, drinks & snacks.
** Please note that the venue has a capacity limit of 120 people and people will be admitted on a first come, first served basis. **
We are very much looking forward to seeing you at our first meetup in 2026!

Innate Dance Class
**What is Innate Dance?**
Innate Dance is a joyful approach to movement, which invites deeper embodiment and self-connection through butoh inspired movement, Noguchi Taiso exercises, the Seki Method, somatic attention and imagination. We shake it out, breaking up stuck energy held in the body, and explore new movement possibilities from a place of alignment and sensitivity. Thanks to our open awareness we can be surprised by lesser-known parts of ourselves and come to appreciate our innate wisdom in movement. Through exercises, explorations and improvisations we build trust in the body that knows how it would like to move and express itself, and when we follow our innate dance, it just feels good! There is also time and space to dance freely, to enjoy the music in your body and to let go! Ultimately, it's about feeling more 'in' our body and grounding joy.
**When? Where? How much?**
**Mondays 19:30-21:00**
in Studio 2, Tanz\*Hotel, Zirkusgasse 35, 1020 Wien
Try out € 14\,\- \| One class € 17\,\- \| Student € 10\,\- \| 5 x class pass €80\,\- \| 10 x class pass € 150\,\-
**Who teaches the course?**
Jess is a dancer and psychotherapist (humanistic and integrative), who loves shaping classes that offer the space to explore the many facets of being human. Sometimes this learning involves physically embodying non-humans like trees, fish and wind, so we can get out of our limited-human-thinking-mind and into the bigger wisdom available through imagination and our body. At other times it's about dancing textures, sensations or taking on the energy of parts of ourselves so we can know them better. Jess has danced all her life and has been exploring butoh dance for the past eleven years alongside her psychotherapeutic practice. She co-authored *The Seki Method* (soon to be published!), is a Seki Method Facilitator, and was a 2024 student at the Im_Flieger Schule researching dance and healing.
PCE - Philosophic Conversation in English
PCE - "Philosophic Conversation in English" is a discussion event in English language which focuses on psychology, philosophy, self-consciousness and self-realization. The conversation is based on inclusive discussion rules. We will meet at at a restaurant where we will have a private room exclusively reserved for our event.
At the beginning we will choose the topic to discuss. Everybody can suggest a topic. Then we will vote what to discuss. The person who suggested the winning topic will then explain his idea of the topic.
Afterwards everybody gets his/her chance to make a statement. But you can also decide to remain silent and only listen, if you prefer that. We have a time limit for statements, so that everybody has enough time to speak. It is not allowed to interrupt somebody who is speaking. After a statement everybody can ask a question and the speaker will answer.
After the first part there will be a 10 minutes break before we start the second part.
Everybody is welcome to our event: We are interested in your thoughts and opinions! It is no problem if you arrive late and you can also leave whenever you want.

Breathwork Circle @ Light House Holistic Wellbeing, Cape Town
We live in a time of constant movement — always connected, always performing, always becoming. And yet, many of us feel increasingly disconnected from ourselves. We chase success, recognition, and the next milestone, hoping they will bring peace, only to discover that what we’re truly seeking can’t be found outside of us.
Our Breathwork Circles at **Light House Cape Town** are an invitation to pause, soften, and return inward. Through Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB), we create a safe and intentional space to peel back layers of conditioning, expectation, and self-performance — and to reconnect with the truth that already lives within you. This practice supports nervous-system regulation, emotional release, and deep self-insight, allowing clarity and inner stability to emerge naturally, without force or pressure.
Breathwork is a powerful experiential practice that can create profound shifts in a short amount of time. Participants often experience deep relaxation, emotional release, increased mental clarity, and a renewed sense of energy and focus. The practice can help reduce stress, calm an overactive mind, release stored tension in the body, and unlock insights that feel difficult to access through thinking alone. Many people leave a session feeling lighter, more grounded, emotionally clear, and reconnected to themselves — with a tangible sense of relief, openness, and inner balance that carries into their daily lives.
**About us:**
These circles are facilitated by Sophie and Bjoern, certified Conscious Connected Breathwork facilitators and co-founders of *onoera*. Coming from high-performance career backgrounds and having experienced burnout and misalignment firsthand, they guide each session with depth, sensitivity, and respect for individual processes. Their work blends science-informed nervous-system awareness with embodied presence, creating a grounded, non-dogmatic space where participants can explore at their own pace.
Each circle is intentionally limited in size to ensure personal attention and a contained group experience. No prior breathwork experience is needed — only curiosity and a willingness to meet yourself honestly.
**Address:**
Light House Holistic Wellbeing
6th Floor, The Barracks, 50 Bree Street, Cape Town, 8000
**Important Booking Information:**
You need a ticket for this event.

Repeat, research, and integrate what you’re currently learning — wherever that may be
This is not a class, and not a milonga.
It’s a space for mindful practice, curiosity, and experimentation.
There's plenty of room for those who want to practice navigation in ronda or something else on a fixed spot without disturbing each other's process.
You don’t need to attend my classes to join, the Focused Prácticas are open to all backgrounds.
**Here you can expect:**
A welcoming, respectful atmosphere
Space to focus without pressure
Supportive presence if questions arise
Freedom to choose what you want to work on
Socializing and exchanging feedback with others is welcome; consent and respecting each person’s process is the base.
When I'm traveling, the Focused Prácticas are hosted by Justina.
**When & Where?**
Sundays at 20:00, after the Tango Basics class\*
EWTO Akademie – Haydngasse 1, 1060 Wien

Jessica

Deutsch sprechen bei gutem Kaffee
Du sprichst schon gut Deutsch (B2–C1), hast aber wenig Gelegenheit, wirklich zu reden? Dann bist du hier genau richtig! Wir treffen uns in kleinen Gruppen in gemütlichen Wiener Cafés und plaudern ganz entspannt über alles Mögliche, was uns gerade beschäftigt, oder ein vorher vereinbartes Thema. Ziel: mehr sprechen, nette Leute kennenlernen und einfach eine gute Zeit haben. Auch Muttersprachler:innen sind herzlich willkommen, wenn sie Lust haben, neue Leute kennenzulernen und sich auszutauschen.
Die kleine Gruppengröße ist eine bewusste Entscheidung: so können wir uns gut hören, leichter ins Gespräch kommen und die Treffen bleiben übersichtlich und angenehm zu organisieren.
👉 **Ein paar Infos, damit alles gut läuft:**
– Bitte verwende deinen echten Vornamen und ein Profilfoto, damit wir uns beim Treffen leichter finden.
– Melde dich nur an, wenn du wirklich kommen kannst.
– Falls doch etwas dazwischenkommt, ist das kein Problem, aber bitte sag rechtzeitig ab, damit jemand anderes nachrücken kann.
– Die **genaue Location** wird am Vorabend des Treffens an die bestätigten Teilnehmer:innen kommuniziert und in den Kommentaren sichtbar sein.
– Wer ohne Absage nicht erscheint, wird leider aus der Gruppe entfernt. Wir möchten die Treffen zuverlässig und angenehm für alle halten.
Freue mich auf entspannte Gespräche und eine nette, motivierte Runde! 😊

Contra dance with Big Scioty on Feb. 7 - First Congregational Church
**Caller: Dan Kappus**
**Band: Trillium**
**Big Scioty Contra Dance**
**temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215**
WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing!
Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor.
Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner.
Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot.
For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/)
Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!

Fun & easy way to play more tennis (read event description)
We’re still working to get more people into these Meetups, but our goal is to give PlayYourCourt members a few social tennis outings each week in addition to your practice sessions and Challenge League matches.
These Meetups are co-ed, super laid back, and all skill levels are welcome. Post your skill level and a suggested court in the comments section so we can round up as many players as we can for some tennis fun!
Also, if you’re looking to meet new practice partners or play some matches and you aren’t already in the PlayYourCourt Community, you can go here to see what we’re all about and sign up:

If you love tennis, we’d love to have you! Be sure and watch the quick video that explains how everything works.
Happy hitting!
