Interkulturelles SprachCafe
**Wir genießen ein paar Snacks und einander kennenlernen ein bisschen. Danach sitzen wir in Gruppen und reden über verschiedene Themen.**
Berlin Sprachcafé. Learn and practise German easily (A1-A2)
The Language Café is primarily aimed at people who are struggling with their mental health which can make it hard to go to regular courses. We want to create a safe space for everyone to learn and practise without pressure. Everyone is welcome! Please try to be on time so we can all get started together :)
We mainly practise on a beginner/lower intermediate level and adapt to everyone's prior level of German.
The Language Café will focus on teaching you the most important words and phrases and basic grammar in German. The content of the course is adapted to real life. (everyday life in Germany, dealing with authorities, etc.) We will cover different topics every week and you can join us anytime, since the topics do not necessarily build on each other.
The Sprachcafé is for free.
\*If you cannot make it please cancel your participation so someone else from the waiting list can join, thank you!\*

**🌳 Über das Meetup**
Dieses Meetup ist eine gemeinsame Besprechung des Buches. Wir treffen uns alle 4 Wochen. Wir unterhalten uns darüber, was wir in dem Buch gelesen haben - und wenn Du willst, welche Bedeutung es für Dein Leben hat.
Wir sind unterschiedlich weit im Buch - doch mindestens bis Seite 106 hat jeder gelesen.
**Um an dem Treffen teilzunehmen, solltest Du mindestens bis Seite 106 gelesen haben. Einige der 8 Fallbeispiele am Anfang kannst Du für das erste Treffen überspringen, lies jedoch mindestens 2 Fallbeispiele, um ein Gefühl zu bekommen. (Das Buch hat 422 Seiten, die sich lohnen).**
.
**Das Buch ist leicht & angenehm geschrieben.**
.
+++++++++++++++++
**🌻 Mehr zum Inhalt**
Manchmal funktionieren Freundschaften nicht, weil man
* sich nicht öffnen kann,
* zu schüchtern ist,
* andere Menschen nicht an sich heran lässt
* klammert
* zu viel will
* wegrennt
* nicht die richtigen Menschen trifft
* schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht hat
* oder oder oder ...
.
... alte Themen aus der Kindheit holen einen ein.
.
Ebenso stehen Glaubenssätze wie "ich bin nicht gut genug", "ich bin nicht liebenswert", "Ich bin unfähig", "Ich muss mich beweisen", .... und dergleichen guten Freundschaften im Weg.
.
Nicht nur Freundschaften, sondern das ganze Leben, Partnerschaften und Erfolg im Beruf scheinen von diesem alten Mist durchsetzt. Bei dem einen mehr, bei der anderen weniger.
.
Zurzeit lese ich das Buch: **"Befreiung von Scham und Schuld"** von Laurance Heller und Angelika Doerne.
.
In diesem Buch geht es genau darum: Wie prägen schlechte Kindheitserlebnisse und die Beziehung zu unseren Eltern unsere heutigen Beziehungen - nicht nur Freundschaften, auch Partnerschaften und Beziehungen im Beruf.
.
Zur allgemeinen Erleichterung: Nicht nur schlechte Gefühle prägen uns, sondern auch die vielen guten Gefühle 🦋🌞🌻🤗.
.
Dass Du diese Zeilen lesen kannst, heißt, dass sehr viel Gutes in Deinem Leben passiert ist. Juchu!
.
Ich finde dieses Buch sehr gut. Es geht den Prägungen der Kindheit zielgerichtet auf den Grund. Gleichzeitig ist es leicht und locker geschrieben.
.
**Der Stoff ist intensiv. Deshalb gibt es diesen Austausch mit Gleichgesinnten.** Vielleicht ist das Buch auf für Dich interessant? **Dann komm gern dazu!**
.
Wir treffen uns alle 4 Wochen. Wir unterhalten uns darüber, was wir in dem Buch gelesen haben - und wenn Du willst, welche Bedeutung es für Dein Leben hat.
.
Dabei können wir so offen sein, wie wir möchten. Nichts muss, nur kann.
Wir sprechen auch darüber, wie Du einige dieser Prägungen auflösen kannst.
.
**Um an dem Treffen teilzunehmen, solltest Du mindestens bis Seite 106 gelesen haben!** Einige der 8 Fallbeispiele am Anfang kannst Du für das erste Treffen überspringen, lies jedoch mindestens mal 2 Fallbeispiele, um ein Gefühl zu bekommen.

**+++++ 😊 Teilnehmer-Stimmen**
.
"Der Austausch hat mir geholfen, meine Gedanken zum Buch in richtig gute Bahnen zu bringen. Das hatte Tiefe. Über sowas miteinander zu sprechen, hilft mir richtig viel, um mich und andere zu verstehen."
.
"Jede meiner Empfindungen, Körperreaktionen, Gefühle und Gedanken ist ja nur davon geprägt, wie ich aufgewachsen bin. Das habe ich mit dem Buch verstanden. Danke, dass Du den Raum bietest, dass wir uns darüber unterhalten können."
.
"Ein Buch mit einer solchen Tragweite lese lieber mit anderen zusammen. Außerdem bleibe ich dann wirklich dran."

Building in Data: From AI Agents to Career Shifts | Data Engineering Meetup
Dear data-loving community, we’re excited to invite you to our next Meetup! This time in collaboration with [Spiced Academy](https://www.spiced-academy.com/en), who will be hosting us at their space.
Join us on April 23 in Berlin and bring all your questions! :)
**Tom Kaltofen: *"Building Deterministic Context Layers for AI Agents"***
[Tom Kaltofen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomkaltofen/) is an Engineer at [DHL Data & AI](https://www.linkedin.com/company/dhl-data-ai/) and a Creator at [mloda.ai.](http://mloda.ai.)
About his keynote:
"Data access and reuse are still unsolved, and AI agents are making it worse. This talk goes deeper into that problem: AI agents depend on reliable context (data, features, intermediate state) to make correct decisions. In practice, this context is tied to specific pipelines or infrastructure, leading to brittle systems when moving from prototype to production.
I'll show how a plugin-based approach lets teams build deterministic context layers: separating what you compute from how you compute it, so the same feature definitions work on a laptop and in production.
The talk includes a live demo where an AI agent discovers and queries data features programmatically. "
**Behnaz Derakhshani: *"What If I Started Today? Rethinking Career Switching in the AI Era"***
[Behnaz Derakhshani](https://www.linkedin.com/in/behnaz-derakhshani-63342775/) works as a Data Engineer at [Diconium](https://diconium.com). She shares her personal career shift from finance to data engineering, including the unfiltered challenges and lessons along the way.
About her keynote:
"Eight years ago, there was no AI to debug my logic, just documentation and Stack Overflow. Now as a Data Engineer, I’m breaking down the lessons learned from my finance to tech transition and why AI makes this the most exciting (and accessible) time to pivot."
✧ ✧ ✧
**What to expect:**
* Two expert talks and Q&A
* A welcoming atmosphere with networking opportunities
* Some snacks & drinks to fuel your thoughts :)

AI Is Already Screening You – Learn How to Win Jobs, Clients & Projects
Learn how to use AI to get past screening systems and land real opportunities — from jobs to freelance projects.
Companies are already using AI to filter CVs before a human ever reads them. That's the reality. But here's the thing - AI is just a tool. And tools can be used by both sides.
In this hands-on workshop - hosted by the Smart Coop Germany - you'll learn how to use Claude AI to write applications that work with AI screening systems, not against them. Sharper CVs, stronger cover letters, better chances. This workshop is part of Smart's commitment to its community: freelancers who are self-employed, but not alone. Whether you're looking for your next client, a new project, or a full-time role - this is for you.
What to bring:
\- Laptop or iPad \(smartphone only = tough mode 😅\)
\- Claude account \(free tier works\, paid recommended\)
\- Your CV \+ a cover letter \(any version\)
\- LinkedIn or Xing profile as PDF if you have one
\- 1\-2 digital photos of yourself or your work
Limited to \~15 people - because this is a real workshop, not a lecture.
Trainer:
Thomas Fischer is a Berlin-based IT consultant with 15+ years in the game. While studying Security & Safety Engineering, he started building an Arduino-based monitoring system for a nuclear reactor. As a consultant, he made his mark building the test infrastructure for the VPN-Zugangsdienst of Germany's electronic health card. He ran Europe's first car-hacking workshop at Confidence in Cracow and has presented at security conferences in Odessa, Budapest, and Cracow. In the last year, he dove deep into Berlin's AI scene, publishing his own apps and building Industry 4.0 ecosystems.

**Kaputt: A Large-Scale Dataset for Visual Defect Detection**
We present a novel large-scale dataset for defect detection in a logistics setting. Recent work on industrial anomaly detection has primarily focused on manufacturing scenarios with highly controlled poses and a limited number of object categories. Existing benchmarks like MVTec-AD (Bergmann et al., 2021) and VisA (Zou et al., 2022) have reached saturation, with state-of-the-art methods achieving up to 99.9% AUROC scores. In contrast to manufacturing, anomaly detection in retail logistics faces new challenges, particularly in the diversity and variability of object pose and appearance. Leading anomaly detection methods fall short when applied to this new setting.
To bridge this gap, we introduce a new benchmark that overcomes the current limitations of existing datasets. With over 230,000 images (and more than 29,000 defective instances), it is 40 times larger than MVTec and contains more than 48,000 distinct objects. To validate the difficulty of the problem, we conduct an extensive evaluation of multiple state-of-the-art anomaly detection methods, demonstrating that they do not surpass 56.96% AUROC on our dataset. Further qualitative analysis confirms that existing methods struggle to leverage normal samples under heavy pose and appearance variation. With our large-scale dataset, we set a new benchmark and encourage future research towards solving this challenging problem in retail logistics anomaly detection. The dataset is available for download under [https://www.kaputt-dataset.com](https://www.kaputt-dataset.com).

**Data Foundations for Vision-Language-Action Models**
Model architectures get the papers, but data decides whether robots actually work. This talk introduces VLAs from a data-centric perspective: what makes robot datasets fundamentally different from image classification or video understanding, how the field is organizing its data (Open X-Embodiment, LeRobot, RLDS), and what evaluation benchmarks actually measure. We'll examine the unique challenges such as temporal structure, proprioceptive signals, and heterogeneity in embodiment, and discuss why addressing them matters more than the next architectural innovation.
*About the Speaker*
[Harpreet Sahota](https://www.linkedin.com/in/harpreetsahota204/) is a hacker-in-residence and machine learning engineer with a passion for deep learning and generative AI. He’s got a deep interest in VLMs, Visual Agents, Document AI, and Physical AI.
**Most AI Agents Are Broken. Let’s Fix That**
AI agents are having a moment, but most of them are little more than fragile prototypes that break under pressure. Together, we’ll explore why so many agentic systems fail in practice, and how to fix that with real engineering principles. In this talk, you’ll learn how to build agents that are modular, observable, and ready for production. If you’re tired of shiny agent demos that don't deliver, this talk is your blueprint for building agents that actually work.
*About the Speaker*
[Bilge Yücel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/bilge-yucel/) is a Senior Developer Relations Engineer at deepset, helping developers build agentic AI apps with Haystack. Passionate about AI, she makes complex concepts approachable through hands-on tutorials, both online and at real-life events.
**Operationalizing Computer Vision for Overhead Lines: Beyond the Demo**
At first glance, visual inspection of high-voltage power lines seems straightforward: collect imagery, run one or two AI models, and report the findings. In practice, moving beyond a proof of concept reveals a range of issues that can make or break a campaign. Common concerns include data quality and coverage, scarcity of the most relevant cases and abundance everywhere else, variations in pylon geometry and asset types across regions, calibration and GIS alignment challenges, and a long tail of edge cases that emerge in real-world operations.
This talk introduces Siemens Energy’s end-to-end overhead line inspection solution and shares key learnings from inspecting more than 10,000 km of power lines for real customers across several continents. We will show how raw 2D/3D data is transformed into structured information, delivering insights into asset inventory as well as defects, and supporting maintenance and planning decisions for critical infrastructure. The focus is on the combination of algorithmic building blocks and scalable processing, designed for robustness and consistency at scale, where even low error rates can become operationally significant.

**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
