Medieval History

Our next **DataTalks TLV meetup** will explore one of the most exciting emerging directions in machine learning: **Tabular Foundation Models**. For decades, structured data problems have been dominated by tree-based models like XGBoost and Random Forest. While deep learning transformed NLP and vision, it consistently struggled to outperform classical methods in tabular settings. Over the past year, a new paradigm has begun reshaping the field — bringing foundation model thinking into structured data. *** ## The Talk 🌐 **From Trees to Transformers: The Rise of Tabular Foundation Models** Speaker: Alan Arazi In this session, Alan will: * Provide a clear overview of the tabular learning landscape * Explain why deep learning historically underperformed on tabular tasks * Introduce TabPFN — a breakthrough model trained to perform Bayesian inference over tabular datasets * Dive into how it is trained, how it works, and what makes it fundamentally different * Discuss what this shift means for the future of data science This talk is designed for ML practitioners, researchers, and data professionals who want to understand what comes after gradient boosting and how foundation models may finally unlock deep learning’s potential for structured data. *** ## ‍‍About the Speaker 👨🏻‍🏫 Alan Arazi is a PhD candidate at the Technion under Prof. Roi Reichart, researching Tabular Foundation Models. After five years working with large language models at AI21, he joined Prior Labs — the company behind TabPFN — where he works at the frontier of structured data modeling. *** ## Location📍 * April Offices * 7 Totseret HaAretz St., Tel Aviv-Yafo * Networking and Q&A included. We hope to see you there!

TAMI π is a curated meeting, workshop or presentation about a topic in math. It happens every two weeks at TAMI. The event is hosted by a different person each time. You can come, learn topics and share ideas in an open and informal atmosphere. This time we will discuss about [Magic Squares](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_square). For proposing a presentation or topic you can drop us a line. תאמי פי הוא מפגש אוצר, סדנה או מצגת על נושא במתמטיקה. זה קורה כל שבועיים בתאמי. את האירוע מנחה אדם אחר בכל פעם. תוכלו לבוא, ללמוד נושאים ולחלוק רעיונות באווירה פתוחה ונעימה. הפעם נדבר על [ריבועי קסם](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_square). להצעת מצגת או נושא ניתן לפנות אלינו.

Join us in the search for the true, the good and the beautiful. Each meet is in one of two formats: a shared reading and open discussion of philosophical texts, or a continuing series of lectures based on the reading of a fascinating book of philosophy. Both formats are in Hebrew, with some reading of English texts, assisted whenever needed. We meet weekly Friday on 80 Rokach Boulevard, Tel Aviv, at the gardens of the Council for a Beautiful Israel. Welcome anyone interested in understanding life more deeply, regardless of age or prior knowledge. The love of wisdom is enough. Please join our WhatsApp group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/JeAa2uRNTlF0rdrVTLzUC0?mode=wwt Note: there's always enough sitting room, but some of it is on the grass or a mat on the floor. If you want to guarantee yourself a chair, please bring one with you. Sapere Aude! (Kant's Motto: Dare to Think!)

The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

This month we’ll be ready The Fifth Season by NK Jemisin. Feel free to come even if you don’t finish the bookk!

Jimmy V's Grill & Pub in Grandview Heights. You are responsible for your own meal/drinks. We usually don't have any agenda other than eat, drink and talk. :) If the weather is nice we will be on the back patio, otherwise we are in the cigar room. This group has been meeting every Tuesday evening for over a decade. Many attendees do not RSVP on meetup. Please don't let the small number here discourage you. Anyone/everyone is welcome to come. We'd love to have you join us. COTA bus #5 comes to W. 5th and Wyandotte Rd. And it's a minute walk to the restaurant.
