Signals, Systems and Scams: Deconstructing the Future of Financial Intelligence
**Welcome to DSF Sandbox Sessions!**
Top tech talks and masterclasses from the best in the industry. Every month, and completely free. The catch? There isn’t one. Just a monthly dose of epic content to power up your data passion!
**Event details**
📆 **Date:** Tuesday 14th April 2026
⏰ **Time:** 6:00 – 9:30 PM BST
💡 **Topic:** **Signals, Systems, and Scams: Deconstructing the Future of Financial Intelligence**
🗣️ **Speakers:** Kristjan Erik Liive, Volodymyr Panov, Baran Koseoglu, Zoltan Szopory, Vera Shishkina, Aaron Wilson, Mohammed Topiwalla
[Sign up for this event by clicking here!](https://datasciencefestival.com/session/wise-sandbox-session/)
As global financial platforms evolve, the “Trust Gap” becomes an engineering challenge. Scaling a product to millions of users requires more than just better models—it requires a fundamental shift from manual heuristics to automated, high-fidelity intelligence.
Join Wise for an exclusive Sandbox Session designed for senior data scientists and engineers. We’re moving beyond the basics of model training to explore the “Last Mile” of production ML: the infrastructure of compliance, the democratisation of optimization, and the transition to foundational representation learning.
Through three practitioner-led deep dives and a collaborative product-data science panel, we will deconstruct how Wise builds resilient financial infrastructure where performance and safety are never a zero-sum game.
What we’ll explore:
• The GenAI Reality Check: Moving LLM automations from “cool demo” to “compliant production” in highly regulated spaces.
• Decoupling Optimization: How we built “Threshold UI” to empower non-experts to tune model performance across hundreds of cohorts without a single code change.
• Beyond Velocity: Replacing hand-crafted features with User Event Transformers to capture the deep behavioral context that traditional tabular data misses.
• The Co-Design Philosophy: Why the future of fraud prevention isn’t just a better algorithm, but a tighter feedback loop between Product and Data Science.
Food, drinks, and networking with fellow practitioners will follow throughout the evening.
Check out the full session details below!
**Please note: Due to high demand and limited capacity, tickets for this event will be allocated via a random ballot. Submitting an application does not guarantee entry. Successful applicants will be notified throughout March and early April. If you have not received confirmation by April 9th, this means your ballot application was not selected on this occasion.**
**Talk 1: Evolution of GenAI: Building Compliant LLM Automations at Wise**
**Speakers:** Kristjan Erik Liive, Senior Data Scientist & Volodymyr Panov, Senior Data Scientist.
**Abstract:** Evolution of GenAI applications in servicing tasks at Wise. We will share examples, discuss architectures and challenges of building LLM-based automations in compliance-heavy space. We will also present our vision and key opportunity areas in further augmentation and automation.
**Key takeaways:** Practical examples of scoping and implementing LLM-based solutions.
**Talk 2: On the Threshold of Greatness: Democratizing Model Optimization at Wise**
**Speakers:** Baran Köseoğlu, Lead Data Scientist & Zoltán Szopory, Staff Software Engineer.
**Abstract:** This session will talk about machine learning model threshold optimization across hundreds of customer cohorts. Traditionally, optimizing these thresholds has been a complex, time-consuming task, often relegated to highly technical experts. At Wise, we faced the challenge of managing diverse customer segments, each with unique risk profiles and compliance mandates and as a solution we developed Threshold UI we will talk about more in the session.
**Key takeaways:** Boost your machine learning model performance without changing any configuration in your training pipeline.
**Talk 3: More Than Meets the Eye: Transforming User Events into Deep Context**
**Speaker:** Vera Shishkina, Staff Data Scientist.
**Abstract:** Moving from purely manual feature engineering to representation learning. This session covers the technical POC of a User Events Transformer – a foundational model designed to produce customer embeddings that augment traditional tabular features. We will discuss the proposed architecture, the challenges of building temporal data pipelines, and our vision for using these embeddings to boost performance in domains like scam prediction.
**Key takeaways:** How learned embeddings provide deep context that traditional “velocity” features often miss.
**Talk 4: Panel Discussion – Mind & Machine: How Product and DS Co-Design the Future of Trust**
**Panellists:** Aaron Wilson, Fraud and Victim Prevention Product Lead & Mohammed Topiwalla, Fraud and Victim Prevention Data Science Lead.
**Abstract:** Fireside chat to understand how DS and Product work hand in hand to keep wise safe.
**Key takeaways:** How do you find the middle ground between business growth and risk precision? What is the future of DS in fraud prevention?

Brain Worms 116 / The Aleph and Other Stories by Jorge Luis Borges
Written in a deceptively simple, almost laconic style Borges takes us inside the minds of an unrepentant Nazi, an imprisoned Mayan priest, fanatical Christian theologians, a woman plotting vengeance on her father’s “killer,” and a man awaiting his assassin in a Buenos Aires guest house. In maddeningly ingenious stories that play with the very form of the short story, Borges returns again and again to his themes: dreams, labyrinths, mirrors, infinite libraries, the manipulations of chance, gaucho knife-fighters, transparent tigers and the elusive nature of identity itself.
We will be reading the Penguin edition of The Aleph and Other Stories which contains the following stories:
"The Immortal" ("El inmortal")
"The Dead Man" ("El Muerto")
"The Theologians" ("Los teólogos")
"Story of the Warrior and the Captive" ("Historia del guerrero y la cautiva")
"Biography of Tadeo Isidoro Cruz" ("Biografía de Tadeo Isidoro Cruz (1829–1874)")
"Emma Zunz"
"The House of Asterion" ("La casa de Asterión")
"The Other Death" ("La otra muerte")
"Deutsches Requiem" ("Deutsches réquiem")
"Averroes's Search" ("La busca de Averroes")
"The Zahir" ("El zahir")
"The Writing of the God" ("La escritura del dios")
"Ibn-Hakam al-Bokhari, Murdered in His Labyrinth" ("Abenjacán el Bojarí, muerto en su laberinto")
"The Two Kings and the Two Labyrinths" ("Una leyenda arábiga" ("Historia de los dos reyes y los dos laberintos, como nota de Burton") ) "The Wait" ("La espera")
"The Man on the Threshold" ("El hombre en el umbral")
"The Aleph" ("El Aleph")
Available from all good libraries and book shops.
You don't have to have read it to join us - but it'll probably help.
We will be meeting in The Ludski Bar in the Rio Cinema.
[https://www.riocinema.org.uk/your-visit/](https://www.riocinema.org.uk/your-visit/)
You are welcome to bring outside food in with you but please buy your drinks from inside the cinema. Thank you.
We hope to see you there.

Tribalheart Ecstatic Dance
DANCING EVERY 1ST AND 3RD SATURDAY NIGHTS <3
Tribalheart Ecstatic dance creates space for free-form movement in a chat free zone where you can dive deeply into the heart, reconnecting, expressing, dancing in and out, up and down, learning to let go of anything and everything that holds you back from yourSelf and inner freedom. Let the energy move you, let the spirit of the heart guide you.
There is space to dance alone and no pressure to connect with anyone else, just be yourself and honour what you need in the moment.
This night is an inspiration and fusion of club culture, dancing yoga, active meditation, cardio fitness, Ecstatic trance dance (blindfolds available) and a sacred Nataraj. If you choose to connect, it is a chance to meet others without words from a place of movement, meditation, energy and soul; eyes and heart wide open.
###
We will start the evening with a welcoming warmup to relax the body and mind. Together we will set an intention for the evening inviting the heart to open and awaken within us thus creating sacred space for all. For those that wish to partake, we will enjoy and deepen our intention with a short Cacao ceremony. (The cacao is used to take us deeper into our body, awakening our senses, connecting us to heart energy and aiding a spring in our step) We also embark on some dynamic breathwork to fire us up for the evening.
\- Please leave at least 2 hours after eating a heavy meal if drinking cacao\.
-Please do not drink alcohol before the event as it is contraindicated with some of the breathwork techniques we practice
We inject passion into sourcing the music for our events and aim to deliver an eclectic mix of genres for your heart. From tribal to electronic and everything in between we aim to assist a natural flow peaking and resting to mirror the rhythm and energy of life. Prepare to shake, spin, whirl and twirl. The music becomes the facilitator during the wild ecstatic dance ending with moments of stillness into silence where we can rest and breathe together
Each DJ has their own sound and energy to be shared, making each night unique and different...

Writing for and with AI
🤖 **AI is changing the way we work, how do tech writers adopt and adapt to these changes?**
At this month's event, our colleagues at Checkout.com will explore both sides of the coin: writing *for* AI, and writing *with* it.
First, **[Charlie Wildish](https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlie-wildish/)** (Staff Product Manager) and **[Preethy Sundaresan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/preethy-sundaresan-884543103/)** (Sr. Technical Writer) will walk us through content strategy for AI chatbots. Getting a chatbot right starts with defining how it speaks and what it knows, they'll break down how to build that foundation and the long-term plan needed to help the bot scale successfully.
Then, **[Sebastian Garcia Cardona](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sebastian-garcia-cardona/)** (Staff Technical Writer) will address the noise about AI replacing writers. For most of us, the reality is about finding a better way to work with AI. In this session, we’ll share how we use these tools to speed up parts of daily workflows without losing the nuance that tech writing requires.

Prompt vs. Paintbrush
AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s?
This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation?
We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

**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.
