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 two topics to discuss. Everybody can suggest a topic. Afterwards we will vote what topics to discuss. The person who suggests a winning topic will start the discussion by explaining his/her idea. 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 15 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. Please don't bring pets to this event because the room is usually very crowded. Please make sure to register for the event to secure your seat! Please check out last event's topics via this link: [http://pce-topic.project-website.org](http://pce-topic.project-website.org/)

Dear Data Enthusiasts, Join us again on **29th of May** at **A1** to learn about the psychological implications on employees when transforming the data landscape of an organization. In addition, we will finally have a talk about the open source framework Metaxy and how it can help to cut costs of multimodal AI pipelines. A big thanks goes to our co-organizers from the A1 Telekom and our sponsor Cloudera! **A Psychological Autopsy of a Data Transformation** *Dávid Farkas* Five years ago, a small European university decided to build and implement a data strategy from scratch. Greenfield in the truest sense: data governance was an unheard term and in practice it meant local Excel files duplicated across inboxes; "the database" usually referred to whichever spreadsheet someone had emailed most recently. Over four years, we designed and rolled out new systems, established governance structures, hired a team, and delivered real wins. We also watched a significant portion of the work get undone in months once leadership changed. This talk is a psychological autopsy of that transformation — what was planned, what worked, what quietly collapsed, and why. Universities are an unusually honest laboratory for studying data initiatives: decentralized power, competing stakeholder logics, weak formal hierarchies, and ambiguous success metrics make every human dysfunction that exists in corporate environments more visible. Drawing on behavioural science and nearly five years leading this initiative, I'll walk through the recurring failure patterns I see across data and AI projects more broadly — algorithm aversion, NIH syndrome, the gap between executive sponsorship and operational ownership, and the under-recognised role of organisational identity in determining which systems survive a leadership change. The argument is not that technology doesn't matter — it's that the human substrate determines whether any of it sticks. Borrowing Kranzberg: technology is never neutral, and neither are the people implementing it. **Dávid Farkas** is a research psychologist (PhD) and data scientist based in Budapest. He co-founded Principle Zero, which helps companies, NGOs, and researchers take on complex challenges in data strategy, digital and AI transformation, research, product development, and science communication. We bring behavioural science to problems most consultancies treat as purely technical, focusing on the human and organisational factors that determine whether ambitious projects survive contact with reality. Previously he led data science and digitalisation at MOME Budapest, with earlier industry experience applying machine learning. **Optimizing Multimodal AI Pipelines with Metaxy** *Georg Heiler, Hernan Picatto* The AI era has caused a fundamental shift in computing, moving us toward complex multimodal pipelines. However, these new systems are often incredibly wasteful. Right now, small changes to an input can trigger massive recomputations across very expensive processing steps. In this talk, we will explore Metaxy, an open source Python framework built to solve this exact problem. Metaxy provides sample level metadata versioning and acts as the universal glue for incremental data pipelines. We will discuss how its field level provenance allows your pipeline to only recompute what actually changed. If you update an audio file, for example, Metaxy knows to skip downstream face recognition steps that only rely on video. Whether you are a startup stretching your compute budget, an enterprise scaling ML infrastructure, or a researcher in academia, you will learn how to use Metaxy to iterate faster, cut cloud costs, and build highly efficient AI workflows. **Georg Heiler** is a co-founder @Jubust and a Senior data expert at Magenta as well as a ML-ops engineer at ASCII. He is solving challenges with data. His interests include geospatial graphs and time series. Georg transitions the data platform of Magenta to the cloud and is handling large scale multi-modal ML-ops challenges at ASCII. **Hernan Picatto** is a Computer Science PhD candidate at the Vienna University of Technology researching firm-level supply chains and corporate networks using NLP and Common Crawl data. Formerly an engineer at JPMorgan Chase and ZhiZhouKeji, he holds an MA from UCSD. His broad interests span big data, visualization, and time series causality. 🎤🎤 Open Mic We are going to open up the stage after the talks for community announcements.

In the soft stillness of early morning, step into the gentle rhythm of creation and discover Sodai, traditional Lithuanian straw mobiles that once filled homes with balance, harmony, and quiet beauty. Before the world fully awakens, we gather in a calm, focused space where hands begin to move and thoughts begin to settle. 🌿Limited spots. The group is limited to 8 people. You can secure your place by purchasing a ticket through the link: https://doobeedoo-goodies.sumupstore.com/produkt/humming-traditions-sodai-straw-form-and-wind 🌿Date: 27th of May 🌿Time: 07:30—10:00 (it might take longer, depending on group tempo) 🌿Location: DooBeeDoo Goodies Atelier (Märzstraße 86, 1150 Vienna) An immersive workshop for adults, quiet hands, patient minds, and those who enjoy the slow rhythm of creation. In this workshop, we will explore the geometry of air, learning how to prepare and string straw into delicate symmetrical forms that sway softly with every breeze. Piece by piece, your hands will follow the same patterns that generations before us used to invite order and peace into their homes. You’ll learn the basic techniques of straw preparation, stringing, and construction, and experience how a simple natural material can transform into something light, precise, and full of meaning. Together, we’ll move through a calm, meditative process, each gesture connecting thought, breath, and creation in quiet balance. By the end, you’ll leave not only with your own handmade Sodas, a timeless ornament carrying both heritage and your creative touch, but also with the knowledge, focus, and stillness that this ancient craft awakens. It feels less like finishing an object and more like completing a gentle ritual of patience and peace. To keep the experience personal and attentive, the group will be small and intimate, space is limited, so that every participant can receive individual guidance and care. This workshop invites you to slow down, focus, and reconnect — with your hands, your thoughts, and the quiet poetry of simple materials. No previous experience is needed, only patient hands, a calm mind, and an eye for quiet detail. 🌿🌿🌿 Humming Traditions is a series of creative workshops that explore the living, breathing essence of cultural practices. Each event invites participants to connect with ancient techniques, natural materials, and artistic expression in a hands-on, immersive experience. The series celebrates the quiet resonance of tradition, the subtle vibrations, textures, and forms that have carried meaning through centuries. Whether through sound, movement, or craft, Humming Traditions is about experiencing culture as a living, dynamic, and tactile art form. Each workshop stands on its own yet shares a common thread: creativity, mindfulness, and a connection to nature and heritage. Participants leave with newly learned skills, a calm mind, and a deeper appreciation for cultural artistry.
