HKPUG #99 - "Lie" to me, Python
**Details**
Date: 27 June 2026, Saturday
Time: 15:00 – 18:00 HKT
Venue: BC404, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Capacity: 40 participants
**Please make sure you fill in the google form https://forms.gle/ogJSHfruCnjHNisU6 for Poly University QR Code Access**.
**Topics**
**1\. Mind the Data Gap — Prize Ceremony & Winners’ Sharing**
Speaker: Winning teams / participants
Duration: around 15 minutes
In our previous HKPUG workshop, participants worked in teams on a messy Hong Kong-inspired synthetic transport dataset.
The data was intentionally corrupted with missing values, outliers, inconsistent categories, URL-encoded station names, confusing delimiters, and hidden signals.
Teams had to clean the data and submit their work to a fixed black-box scorer to see whether their cleaning improved model performance.
In this session, we will present the prizes and invite the winning teams / participants to share their approaches.
We will cover:
\- Prize ceremony for the workshop winners
\- How participants approached the data cleaning challenge
\- What kinds of hidden signals were found
\- Common patterns and mistakes we observed
\- What we learned from designing a gamified Python data workshop
No model tuning.
Just data rescuing.
**2\. Python "Lies": Things That Are Not What They Seem**
Speaker: Alex Au
Duration: 15 minutes
Python often reads almost like English — until it does something that is technically correct but completely different from what you expected.
In this rapid-fire talk, Alex will uncover several Python-specific “lies”: late-bound lambdas in loops, mutable default arguments that remember previous calls, nested lists that secretly share the same rows, generators that disappear after one pass, the surprising meaning of for...else, and finally blocks that can rewrite a function’s ending.
Each example begins with a short “guess the output” challenge, followed by an explanation of the Python behaviour hiding underneath.
Things are not always what they seem.
**3\. LEPAUTE Framework — FSD\-style Visual Perception with Lie Group Equivariant Attention**
Speaker: Carson
Duration: around 60 minutes
LEPAUTE is a Python-based visual perception / machine learning framework originally motivated by Tesla FSD-style autonomous driving perception.
Autonomous driving perception is not just about detecting objects in a flat image. A model needs to reason about movement, rotation, position, scale, and viewpoint changes while still understanding the same scene consistently.
In this talk, Carson will introduce the motivation behind LEPAUTE, the core technical ideas, and how Lie group equivariant attention can be applied to 2D visual perception. The session will also include a live or prepared demo.
This talk is suitable for participants interested in Python, machine learning, computer vision, autonomous driving perception, mathematical structures in AI models, and research-oriented software projects.
Note: This is an independent technical sharing and **does not imply affiliation with or endorsement by Tesla**.

IxDA Chat n Pancakes
You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday.
But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to.
Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Learning from Everyday Data
**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data**
How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice.
Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look.
In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it.
**About Our Speaker:**

Private Group. Closed to the Public
Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy.
In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected.
The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve.
I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
