Google Research published a paper at NeurIPS '25 : ["Nested Learning: The Illusion of Deep Learning Architectures"](https://abehrouz.github.io/files/NL.pdf) It is a new approach to look at machine learning problems: architecture & optimization algorithms together In NL, training models is not treated as one opaque, atomic process. But as **a** **system of interconnected, multi-level learning problems** that are **optimized in parallel**. The goal is to solve one of the core challenges of modern LLMs: **continual learning** (the ability for a model to acquire new skills over time without forgetting old ones.) Authors argue: the model's **architecture and the optimization algorithm are fundamentally the same concepts;** they are just different "levels" of optimization, each with its own internal flow of information and update rate We'll walk through: \- how the paper unifies model architecture and optimizers \- architectural decomposition of a classical learning problem solved in the framework of Nested Learning \- how optimizer algorithms fit into the NL framework \(backrpop as associative memory\) \- the concept of continuum\, multi\-timescale memory \- Hope \- an architectural backbone of NL === ENTRY DETAILS === \- QR code with entry information will beavailable soon\, in the "Photos" section of this event page\. \- Gate closes at 18:15 \- no late entries\.

Csak nőknek szóló PyLadies esemény! Gondoltál már arra, hogy miért kellene újra és újra leírnod ugyanazt a kódot, ha egy feladatot többször is el akarsz végezni? A Python függvények pont ebban segítenek: egyszer megírod a kódot, elnevezed, és utána annyiszor használod, ahányszor csak szeretnéd. Ezen az előadáson közérthető nyelven, lépésről lépésre fedezzük fel a függvények alapjait, kezdőknek és újrakezdőknek is ideális módon: • Mi az a függvény? Egy „miniprogram”, ami egy meghatározott feladatot végez el – megnézzük, miért ez a Python egyik legfontosabb építőköve. • Hogyan hozhatsz létre egyet? A def kulcsszó használata, beszédes függvénynevek, és az első saját függvények megírása. • Paraméterek csínja-bínja: Megismerjük a pozíciós és kulcsszavas argumentumokat, az iterálható objektumok csomagolását (unpacking), valamint azt is, hogyan használhatjuk okosan a \*args és \*\*kwargs lehetőségeit. Szó lesz az alapértelmezett paraméterekről és arról is, mire érdemes figyelni velük kapcsolatban. • Változók láthatósága: Amikor a Python egy változó értékét keresi, először a lokális névtérben vizsgálódik. Ha ott nem találja, továbbmegy a befoglaló függvény névterébe, majd a globális névtérbe, végül pedig a beépített névtérbe. Ezt a folyamatot a függvények működésén keresztül is részletesen áttekintjük, sok gyakorlati példával. • Egy kis „szuperképesség” a végére: Rövid betekintést adunk a dekorátorok világába is. Bár haladóbb téma, megmutatjuk, hogyan tehetik még okosabbá és testreszabhatóbbá a függvényeinket anélkül, hogy bonyolítanánk a kódot. Ha szeretnéd jobban megérteni, hogyan szervezd tisztábban és hatékonyabban a Python kódodat, ez az alkalom neked szól. Várunk minden érdeklődőt – akár most ismerkedsz a Pythonnal, akár már használod, de szeretnéd mélyebben megérteni a működését. ✨ ‍ Előadó: Péter Fülöp ️ Programterv • 17:30 – 18:00 Megérkezés, setup • 18:00 – 19:00 Előadás I. • 19:00 – 19:20 Szendvicsek & frissítők • 19:20 – 20:10 Előadás II. • 20:10 – 21:00 Networking (A programterv változásának jogát fenntartjuk.) Mivel készülj? Workshop jellegű alkalom lesz, így hasznos, ha hozol magaddal egy programozásra alkalmas számítógépet. Jó, ha előre megismerkedsz egy Python Notebookkal, például a Google Colab-bal (ehhez egy Google-fiók szükséges). Ha kell bármi segítség, gyere kicsit hamarabb és segítünk! Kit várunk? Olyan **lányokat/nőket**, akik most ismerkednek a Python nyelvvel, vagy szeretnék meglévő tudásukat bővíteni vagy felfrissíteni.

The Men’s Circle of Excellence Gathering, for men who seek truth, mastery, and a life beyond mediocrity. The goal is simple: to support each other in mastering mind and spirit, breaking free from comfort, and moving toward excellence in every area of life. Modern life offers endless distractions but little real connection. Too often, men walk the path of self-development alone, or struggle against the negative pull of today’s society. The Men’s Circle of Excellence was created to change that: to bring support, accountability, challenge, and community energy. We gather in person to share openly, confront fears, and inspire one another to reach higher. Here, power is rooted in virtue, strength is balanced with empathy, and ambition is guided by wisdom. How it works: • Welcome & introductions: Meet new members and reconnect with familiar faces. • Open sharing: Each man speaks about his current challenges, fears, or obstacles. • Honest reflections: The group responds with insight and encouragement. • Connection Time: After the circle, we'll have extra time to relax, talk, and build friendships. Recommendation: • Before the event, take some time to think about your current situation and what to bring into the circle. Limited to max. 8 men per gathering to keep the space focused, personal, and meaningful. Confirm your attendance to reserve your spot.

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.

Projects that are over budget, delayed, or that fail to scale past the POC phase are very common. In many of these scenarios, choosing the right approach can be as critical as the solution itself. Should you build a tailored machine learning model, leverage the power of large language models (LLMs), or integrate with AI copilots? Each option has unique strengths, trade-offs, and resource requirements, and the key to success lies in aligning your choice with your business goals and technical constraints. In this talk, we will go beyond the basic concepts and definitions to provide a practical guide that allows attendees to navigate these decisions through real-world case studies. We will examine scenarios in which different AI paradigms were chosen, discuss the factors that influenced those decisions, and outline the process for evaluating needs, constraints, and outcomes. From assessing data availability and team expertise to balancing cost and scalability, you'll gain insights into the critical considerations that guide the selection process. By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear process for determining whether machine learning, LLMs, or copilots are best suited to your AI challenges and understand the resources and strategies needed to bring your chosen solution to life. This talk is ideal for decision-makers, technical leads, and innovators seeking to demystify AI implementation and maximize the impact of their investments.

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. **YouTube Link** TBA
