Beyond the Catalog and Drug discovery with AI
**đ Join our free Budapest Data Science Meetup!**
In our first session, Tamås Németh from DataHub will explore the evolution of data catalogs into "Metadata Control Planes," explaining how authoritative context is the secret sauce for preventing "confident but wrong" AI agents.
Then, Daniel Darabos, CTO of LynxKite will take us into the world of biotech, demonstrating how GPU-accelerated screening is fast-tracking drug discovery by targeting G-protein coupled receptors with unprecedented speed.

**Beyond the Catalog: The Control Plane for Modern Ecosystems and Agentic AI**
**[Németh Tamås](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nemetht/),** [DataHub ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/datahub-cloud/)
Software Engineer @ DataHub. Building Datahub, the open-source metadata catalog. Previously led the data-engineering team at Prezi and worked on a platform to fulfill all of the analytical needs at scale. Tamas is also a committer in the Apache Gobblin project.
Abstract:
Traditional catalogs are no longer sufficient for todayâs complex, decentralized landscapes. This session explores their transformation into Metadata Control Planes, the operational âcentral nervous systemâ for enterprise information. As AI agents replace humans as primary consumers, this infrastructure becomes the critical bedrock for Context Engineering.
Unlike people, these autonomous systems act directly on the information they find without seeking clarification; they require authoritative context to avoid âconfident but wrongâ outcomes. We will demonstrate how to repurpose your existing lineage, quality signals, and business glossaries to provide the provenance and semantic clarity these models crave. Discover how to evolve a passive inventory into a high-performance engine for reliable, enterprise-grade AI.
**Drug discovery with AI: Targeting G-protein coupled receptors with GPU-accelerated screening**
Abstract:
GPCRs are an important but difficult drug target. The receptor we are focusing on, called Mas, has an important role in regulating the cardiovascular system and muscle growth. A natural compound that activates Mas is in phase 3 trials for treating old-age muscle loss (sarcopenia). As it's based on a plant extract, only a limited supply can be produced. The search is on for a highly efficient, safe, synthetic alternative! Join us to learn more about our GPU-accelerated solution for scoring billions of potential drug molecules with a variety of models.

Session #25 - The philosophy of Ubuntu
âResentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.â
â Nelson Mandela
**(In english!)**
Throughout history, human societies have wrestled with division. When identity hardens into polarization, coexistence becomes fragile. Differences can escalate into civil conflict, deepening distrust and resentment that often persist for generations.
Yet history also offers rare examples of a different path: moments when cycles of hatred did not spiral into further violence, but instead turned toward reconciliation.
In this session we will explore **Ubuntu** â the African ethical philosophy that shaped the moral framework of leaders such as Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu.
Ubuntu â âI am because we areâ â proposes that identity is not purely individual but relational. Even those we oppose remain part of our shared collective. This insight may be the hidden condition behind successful reconciliations.
Beyond South Africaâs transition from apartheid, we can examine other cases of reconciliation: the American postâCivil War, the reconciliation between France and Germany, Japanâs postwar transformation, and the peace process in Northern Ireland.
**Introduction of guests (15 minutes)**
We start with a short introduction of the guests.
**Kérdések (1 óra 45 perc)**
1. According to Ubuntu why is hope better than optimism?
2. Are we living in a time of self-respect?
3. Can Ubuntu be applied to someone who opposes Ubuntu?
4. What happens when âweâ includes people who reject your values?
5. How does Ubuntu work when conflict is on-going?
6. Can the strength of the collective sometimes go the wrong direction? How to avoid that?
7. Have you put yourself in the shoes of someone you deeply reject?
8. How can we compare the european reconciliation with the South African or North-Irish reconciliations?
9. What is more important for reconciliation: leadership or strong institutions?
10. Can forgiveness be compatible with justice all the time? Is there a point where forgiveness becomes injustice?
11. Why is truth so important in reconciliation?
12. Can reconciliation hold when material inequality persists?
13. Can ubuntu help to undo polarization?
14. How can we apply ubuntu to social media?
15. Is ubuntu a way of individual-to-social maturity?
16. Is polarization a symptom of moral seriousness â or moral immaturity?
17. Is polarization driven more by inequality or by identity?
**RSVP:** Please confirm your attendance here on Meetup to save your space and if you cannot assist, yield your space to another person in the waiting list.

Meditation (English)
Practice Buddhist meditation in the middle of Budapest!
The meditation is suitable for beginners. Each regular meditation is guided and begins with a short introduction. (all together is about 30-40 minutes)

A Night With⊠Orpheus: Art, Nature, and the Fight for Eternity
Join us for the new session of our discussion series **âA Night WithâŠâ**, where we dive into timeless myths and their universal messages.
Following our last session, where we explored the duality of Apollinian & Dionysiac, this the time to delve into the journey of Orhpeus.
**What to expect:**
* I will open the meetup with a short introduction to Orpheusâ myth and share (or suggest) a few possible interpretations and connections.
* After that, the floor is yours! Bring your thoughts, reflections, and any links you see between this myth and other domains, e.g. literature, art, philosophy, psychology, history or even your own creative work.
* If youâre an artist and your work resonates with the divine twins' story, feel free to share it with the group.
**Before the event:**
Take 5 minutes to read the quick snippet of Orpheusâ myth (provided belowđđœ) and think of:
* A book, artwork, or personal reflection that relates to her story.
* Any modern parallels or insights youâd like to discuss.
This is a space for **open dialogue, creativity, and shared exploration**.
### **đ«§The story of Orpheus in Brief**
**đŒOrpheus is the legendary poetâmusician** of Greek myth, famous for playing the lyre so beautifully that animals, trees, and even stones were said to be **moved by his song.**
He marries Eurydice, a nymph (or mortal woman in some versions), and their happiness is brief: Eurydice dies suddenly, most commonly after being bitten by a snake while fleeing danger or wandering in the fields.
Stricken with grief, Orpheus refuses to accept her death.
**He descends alive into the Underworld to bring her back.** There, his music softens the hearts of the rulers of the dead, Hades and Persephone.
Moved by his devotion and the power of his art, they agree to release Eurydice, on one condition: Orpheus must lead her upward to the world of the living without looking back at her until they have both reached the surface.
Orpheus begins the ascent, hearing her footsteps behind him but unable to see her. Near the exit, at the threshold between darkness and daylight, **doubt and longing overwhelm him**. He turns to look. In that instant Eurydice is lost again, fading back into the Underworld, unreachable. Orpheus tries to follow, but the passage is closed to the living; he is forced to return alone.
After this second loss, Orpheus withdraws from love and society.
In many versions, he is eventually killed violently (most famously torn apart by maenads). Even then, the myth insists that his song persists: his severed head and lyre continue to âsingâ as they drift downstream, and the lyre is later placed among the stars as a constellation.
đđ**Principal ancient sources:**
* Plato, *Symposium*
* Apollonius Rhodius, *Argonautica*
* Virgil, *Georgics*
* Ovid, *Metamorphoses*
* Pausanias, *Description of Greece*
* Hyginus, *Astronomica*

Data & Analytics Wednesday - The Data-Driven Brand
**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception**
Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably âyesâ, but weâre not sure how to implement or test this theory.
For our April meetup weâve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy.
Sheâll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so weâre guessing thereâs more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps).
Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and scienceâusing data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way.
**About Our Speaker**
Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasualâs Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. Weâll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from serverâdriven controls, and why theyâre becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether youâre maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, youâll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standardsâbased way.

How to Take Control of YOUR Mental Health
Itâs time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind.
Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Here is the secret of being positive and free:
Thinking positively is not enough.
You also have to get rid of the negative thinking.
Your mind is like a garden.
You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden.
A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed.
You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there.
So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out!
