♠️ **What is Mafia?**
If you enjoy Werewolf, Among Us, or *Forræder*, Mafia will feel instantly familiar - but with its own unique depth.
Mafia is a live social deduction game about:
* reading people
* spotting hidden motives
* persuading the table
* deciding who to trust
Each player receives a hidden role. Some players know the truth… others must uncover it.
\*\*\*
🎈 **Perfect for Beginners**
During **Mafia Summer Sessions**, the host slightly slows the pace and explains key moments so new players can follow comfortably.
✔ Rules explained step by step
✔ Questions always welcome
✔ No prior experience needed
Most players understand the flow within their first game.
\*\*\*
**❓ Do I Need to Know the Game?**
No - absolutely no prior experience is needed.
**Most players join solo and are new to the game.**
This event is part of **Mafia Ssummer Sessions**, designed specifically with new players in mind.
The host guides the table step by step, explains key moments, and ensures everyone can follow comfortably. Questions are always welcome.
Just come, try it out, and enjoy the experience.
\*\*\*
🥂**Atmosphere**
Expect a lively but welcoming table with:
* engaging facilitation
* atmospheric background music
* focused but friendly discussion
* plenty of memorable moments
It’s competitive - but always social and inclusive.

Mafia is one of the best social icebreakers.
Many players come for the game… and stay for the people.

Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on.
That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable.
In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork.
This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it.
We’ll cover:
* Why “it looks good” is not enough
* How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints
* How to compare LLM outputs more systematically
* Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness
* How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results
* Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop
By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
