Brain Worms 117 / The Drowned World by J. G. Ballard
J.G. Ballard's mesmerizing and ferociously prescient novel imagines a terrifying future in which solar radiation and global warming have melted the polar ice caps and Triassic-era jungles have overrun a submerged and tropical London. Set during the year 2145, the novel follows biologist Dr. Robert Kerans and his team of scientists as they confront a surreal cityscape populated by giant iguanas, albino alligators, and endless swarms of malarial insects. Nature has swallowed all but a few remnants of human civilization, and, slowly, Kerans and his companions are transformed—both physically and psychologically—by this prehistoric environment. A thrilling adventure and a haunting examination of the effects of environmental collapse on the human mind.
Available from all good libraries and book shops.

**Code of Conduct:**
This event follows the NumFOCUS Code of Conduct. Please get in touch with the organisers with any questions or concerns.
As always, there will be free food and drinks, generously provided by our host, Man Group.
**Main Talks**
1. [Robin Linacre](https://www.linkedin.com/in/robinlinacre/) - **Rapid deduplication and fuzzy matching of large datasets using Splink**
This talk introduces Splink, a free and open source Python library for probabilistic record linkage and deduplication at scale.
I’ll explain the core ideas behind the approach, show how it can be used in practice, and reflect on the opportunities of building open source tools from within the public sector.
Data deduplication is a common data quality challenge: it arises whenever multiple records are collected about the same person, organisation, or entity without a shared unique identifier.
This talk will introduce the core ideas behind probabilistic record linkage and show how Splink, a free and open source Python library developed at the UK Ministry of Justice, can be used to link and deduplicate large datasets quickly and accurately.
I’ll cover the practical steps involved in training linkage models, using unsupervised learning, improving performance and accuracy, and visualising results and diagnostics. I’ll also touch on what it has been like to build and maintain open source tooling from within the UK public sector, and the opportunities this creates for solving problems at citizen scale.
The talk is aimed at people with basic experience working with tabular data in Python, and assumes no prior knowledge of record linkage.
2. [Filip Makraduli](https://www.linkedin.com/in/filipmakraduli/) - **Small Model Inference Infrastructure: Lessons Beyond vLLM**
Embedding models are evolving rapidly, from dense-only architectures, to hybrid dense+sparse (BGE-M3), multi-vector late interaction (ColBERT), and vision-language models (ColQwen2, SigLIP). Yet while LLM serving infrastructure is well-established (vLLM, SGLang), small model deployment still relies on inefficient single-model containers or custom-built systems. Production teams face a dilemma: deploy dozens of single-model containers with 5-10% GPU utilization, or invest months building complex multi-model infrastructure. This talk explains some of the key concepts of embedding inference and how it is different to LLM inference.
3. [Ian Ozsvald](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ianozsvald/) - **Build your own LLM, Live, with MicroGPT**
Andrej Karpathy's MicroGPT is a single file no dependency mini GPT, you can run it live with me. We'll talk about how GPT works, we'll look at the code, we'll reflect on the Torch-based nanoGPT "big brother" and you'll end the talk with stronger intuitions about how our next best token guessing overlords are working. Plus you'll have a mini GPT running on your laptop in 200 lines of Python.

**Logistics**
* Doors open at **6.30 pm** (get there early as you'll need to sign in with building security).

Try Quadball in Finsbury Park!🏐
**Come try quadball - a mixed-gender sport open to anyone and everyone regardless of gender, ability, or background.**
Quadball, formerly quidditch, features players on each side aiming to outscore their opponents by throwing a volleyball through one of three opposing hoops, whilst defending their own hoops with tackles or knocking out opponents with dodgeballs - all while on a broom.
**[Short Video on How To Play Quadball](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKUZ9LLH-_c)**
These sessions are casual mixed games, and are very beginner friendly, so this is a fantastic opportunity for new people to get involved!
Despite our quidditch origins, quadball is very much a sport unto itself and has no relation to or any involvement with Harry Potter or JK Rowling. We celebrate the inclusion of members of the LGBTQ+ community and welcome people of **all** backgrounds and gender identities to get involved.
---
**These sessions are designed to be casual and easy to get involved with**
* Each session will start with a small warm up, alongside a brief introduction of the rules for newer players.
* Players will be sorted into teams, and we'll have several mixed games across the evening (sunlight depending)
* Games will run for 20 minutes each, split into two 10-minute halves.
* Afterwards we'll head to either The Finbsury or the Twelve Pins to relax, hang out, and get to know the other players.
**Please bring**
* Suitable athletic or outdoor footwear
* *Trainers or Football Boots*
* Suitable clothing for exercise
Whether you’re brand new to sport, a seasoned athlete, or just wanting to give something new and interesting a go - this is the place to be!

Do not attend this walk unless you accept and consent to the above risks. If you require insurance for these walks then you must arrange this yourself.
