Built on an xLSTM backbone, it combines recurrent state tracking and strong in-context learning with contiguous patch masking and masked inference, enabling robust forecasting and efficient uncertainty estimation. This talk outlines the key architectural and training choices behind the model, including data augmentation strategies and large-scale pre-training. Results on public benchmarks show strong zero-shot forecasting performance together with fast inference and a low memory footprint. The talk also highlights how TiRex representations transfer to downstream tasks such as time series classification, illustrating the promise of forecasting models as broader foundation models for time series. **About the speaker:** Sebastian Böck is Lead Researcher at NXAI, specializing in Deep Learning, Sequence Modeling, and Time Series Forecasting. He received his PhD in Computer Science from JKU in Linz and his diploma degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from the Technical University in Munich. Long before his current focus on the efficiency and scalability of foundation models, he pioneered the application of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) in Music Information Retrieval—spanning onset detection, beat tracking, and polyphonic transcription. This early work cemented his deep expertise in state-tracking and recurrent architectures. Today, his research at NXAI centers on overcoming the fundamental scaling and inference bottlenecks of modern AI through the extended Long Short-Term Memory (xLSTM) paradigm and its application across diverse modalities. **Talk 2:** **Combining technological precision with social responsibility in training data preparation** This presentation introduces Responsible Annotation Services (RAS), a specialized All-Austrian provider of high-quality data processing. Founded as a spin-off of the non-profit Responsible Annotation, RAS leverages a unique workforce of neurodivergent experts to deliver exceptional attention to detail, pattern recognition, and perseverance - helping to create reliable, ethical, and effective AI systems. Three distinct case studies will be presented demonstrating the versatility across modalities and industries: Bank Foyer Safety: A strategic collaboration with KEBA to refine their AI assistant, KeBob. This involved the meticulous labeling of human postures and mobility aid usage to enhance real-time emergency detection in semi-public banking environments. Text Annotation: A dive into our natural language processing project with Newsadoo, showcasing how our team structures complex textual data to train advanced language models with high semantic accuracy. Air-Vehicle Surveillance: A large-scale project with Frequentis involving the annotation of approximately 5 million video frames for airport monitoring, transforming raw footage into precise training data. **About the Speaker:** Andreas Schachl is a seasoned tech leader and open source enthusiast who believes that creating a better future requires action — not just ideas. Together with his friend Hans‑Peter Kranewitter, Andreas co‑founded Responsible Annotation Services, an AI‑focused venture that streamlines the entire data pipeline. Their key to success is a neuro‑diverse team of annotation experts who consistently deliver top‑tier results at high speed, even over prolonged periods. We are looking forward to welcoming you at our April Meetup. Your VDLM organizer team.

Dear Data Enthusiasts, Come to the joint event with Women in AI Austria at UNIQA on the **29th of April** to explore how fragmented, heterogeneous data can be transformed into governed, AI-ready foundations that drive real impact. This evening we will hear how these challenges play out in two very different domains: managing workforce data at scale in insurance, and unifying multi-modal clinical data to support better patient outcomes in healthcare. **From Fragmented to Foundational: People Analytics at UNIQA** How do you turn fragmented People Data into a trusted, AI‑ready data foundation? This session shows how UNIQA uses Databricks as a core data platform for people analytics, integrating multiple sources into a governed People Datawarehouse. We will explore how to enable a single source of truth for workforce data to support responsible analytics, scalable dashboards, and AI‑ready datasets. [Stefanie Blaschke](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefanie-blaschke/), Head of group people analytics at UNIQA Stefanie is Head of Group People Analytics at UNIQA Insurance Group, specializing in turning complex workforce data into clear, actionable insights. **Scaling Clinical Intelligence with STETHOSCOPE** As healthcare faces a post-pandemic capacity crisis exacerbated by aging demographics, the industry's fragmented data—spanning clinical tables, medical imaging, and ECG recordings—remains its greatest untapped asset. We introduce STETHOSCOPE, an AI-driven framework built on Databricks that unifies these multi-modal streams to alleviate administrative burnout and drastically reduce the risk of misdiagnosis. This session demonstrates why the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform is the definitive backbone for high-stakes healthcare LLMOps, enabling the transition from chaotic data to actionable clinical insights. Through real-world case studies and field experience, we show how agentic architectures transform patient care and operational efficiency.

Our monthly PHP meetup. A virtual shindig courtesy of Zoom. Check back here for the details around 6:15 pm

Dear Illinois Prairie PUG members, Our next meetup will take place in a **new location**. Please read **the whole announcement** carefully to note all the changes. Our new meeting place is **Chicago Innovations at 1 W. Monroe**. *Talk Title*: pg_lake: Unifying transactional and analytical data with Postgres *Speaker*: Elizabeth Christensen, Snowflake *Talk Description* The data world used to be defined by “transactional" (OLTP) and “analytical” (OLAP) workloads, but we’ve asked ourselves, “Why not both?” A new series of extensions called pg_lake has just been released to connect Postgres to object storage and open table formats - like csv, Parquet, and Iceberg. pg_lake bridges the two worlds of transactional and analytical data for a vendor neutral, open source, unified data stack. This talk will explore the pg_lake extension, including how to build it, and demos of using it with modern data workloads in object storage like Amazon S3. We’ll create simple data pipelines with no ETL and high performance analytics. pg_lake is more than just an extension. It is the foundation to a fully unified data path with 100% open source tools backed by PostgreSQL, DuckDB, Iceberg, and Polaris. *Agenda* 5:20 - doors open 5:30 - pizza arrives 6:00 - 6:10 - Hettie D. Opening remarks 6:10- 6:20 - Hettie D.

Social meetings held most Tuesdays at a local pub/restaurant at 7:00 PM (and often into the wee hours). Attendees call themselves agnostics, skeptics, humanists, non-theists, deists or even theists. All attendees are welcome but should support our vision. Atheists of Columbus (AoC) is part of Omnipresent Atheists (OA). AoC members are invited to join this OA meetup and/or OA Facebook group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/omnipresentatheists/ ) but are free to continue conversations on the AoC Facebook group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/columbusatheists/ ). AoC was founded in 2012 as a networking, social group for Central Ohio area humanists, skeptics, atheists, agnostics, nonbelievers, freethinkers, and the curious. It was a member of Columbus CoR and held weekly meetings, mostly on Fridays, for several years but then operated as an online only group for some time. In November 2018, Omnipresent Atheists (OA), a group that routinely meets on Tuesdays, invited AoC to merge. Omnipresent Atheists is a member of the Columbus Coalition of Reason (ColumbusCoR.org). Omnipresent Atheists is a member of the Columbus Coalition of Reason ( http://www.ColumbusCoR.org ). Omnipresent Atheists endorses the mission of the Secular Coalition for America ( http://secular.org ).

It feels like we just saw each other 🤷. Join members of the local design and UX community for our monthly breakfast. For May we’re stopping in for Rooh’s popup breakfast/cafe concept. You know someone is getting the lobster yuzu croissant, and that’s not even the prettiest thing on the menu!.
