Predictive Analytics

**What this is about?** This is a meetup group focused on AI. We meet every Saturday evening. Usually there are up to 30 people from different backgrounds, such as AI programmers, rocket engineers, physicists, marketing, designers, investors... But it's also meant for people who have no background in AI and are looking for more insight. This is a very casual group for everyone, no presentations, you can pitch your AI business idea or discuss your favorite Terminator movie. The group is free and there is no requirement to buy anything. There is free wifi. There's a cafeteria nearby if you're hungry. 📣 WhatsApp group for event updates (only mods can post): [https://chat.whatsapp.com/JjrVIJyxHbe9fUWoGLaJsZ](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JjrVIJyxHbe9fUWoGLaJsZ) 📍To get there: This is the location for the meetup Zentral Building - https://share.google/yVPmWdmL5SDQSbbAx (near the Metro station) 🚇 Metro Station: World Trade Centre Metro Station is your stop - it's a 3 minute walk from the there. 🚗 Parking Options: It's a paid parking lot near the location.

\*Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion\* by Robert Cialdini explores six key principles of persuasion: reciprocity, commitment and consistency, social proof, liking, authority, and scarcity. Cialdini, a renowned psychologist, explains how these principles are used by marketers, salespeople, and others to influence behavior. Through engaging examples and research, he reveals how people are persuaded to comply with requests, often unconsciously. The book also offers insights on resisting manipulation. A seminal work in social psychology, it’s widely praised for its practical applications in understanding human behavior and decision-making.

House of Thinking Big: LinkedIn × Positioning × Coffee Most people still treat LinkedIn as a platform for job searching. But in markets like the UAE, LinkedIn works differently. Your profile becomes part of your business positioning. People decide how seriously to take you before the first conversation even happens. In 1.5 hours, we will review your LinkedIn profile together and identify what makes it attractive or invisible for your target audience. We will work on: • positioning clarity • profile perception • communication structure • authority signals • and how your profile aligns with the clients, partners, or opportunities you want to attract No presentations. No fake networking. No generic “personal branding” advice. Just focused strategic work in a small private circle. Only 4 people maximum. ☕ When: 6:30 PM 📍 Where: Founders HQ Headquarters, 25h hotel 🎙️ Host: Kate Adiyak — Founder of House of Thinking Big 🎟️ Participation: 150 AED Thinking Big Strategy Timeline 1:00 PM — Arrival 1:30 PM — LinkedIn Profile Review & Positioning 2:30 PM — Audience Perception & Authority Signals 2:45 PM — Strategic Improvements & Action Plan 3:30 PM — Closing Conversations To reserve your place and participate, contact me directly please [here](wa.me/971585798393)

**Puzzle Fun** 🧩➗ A relaxed and fun gathering for anyone who enjoys puzzles, mathematical thinking, problem-solving, and curious conversations. The goal of this event is not just to solve problems, but to encourage the kind of thinking that creates independent mathematicians and deep problem-solvers. The event is divided into two parts: • Segment One: Puzzle & Problem-Solving Round We’ll warm up with fun high-school-level maths problems, logic puzzles, Sudoku-style thinking, and other mathematical challenges. Feel free to bring your own puzzles, books, or favourite problems to share with the group! A scientific calculator may occasionally be useful. • Segment Two (Optional): Logic & Proof-Writing If enough brave souls are interested, we’ll explore the strange and beautiful world of mathematical logic and proof-writing — the foundation of higher mathematics. If not, we’ll simply continue solving more puzzles and interesting problems together. An online group will also be created for discussions, resources, and keeping track of what we cover, since mathematics is a subject that builds continuously over time. Please bring: ✏️ Pens 📒 A notebook or plenty of A4 paper 🧠 Curiosity WhatsApp group: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/FytQQgS85I61vS6nkduLm5](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FytQQgS85I61vS6nkduLm5)

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!

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!
