29th Belgium NLP Meetup
**Now that Claude Code is writing our software, what are you doing with all that free time?**
Here's an idea: come spend it with us at the next Belgium NLP Meetup! Our next event will take us back to **BeCentral**, Brussels' prime digital campus, where we're hosted by our friends at Campfire AI.
Go ahead and schedule that long Claude job for the evening of **May 5th**.
Doors open at 7pm for pizza, talks are planned between 7.30pm and 9pm, and after that there's more time for networking and drinks.
The first two talks of the evening are already confirmed. The final presentation will be added in the coming weeks.
**Small, specialized, agentic – One Year of Fine-tuning Local Vision LLMs.**
*Adriaan Lemmens & Ilia Breitburg (Klassif.AI)*
Local LLMs are getting better each year. The smaller the model, the more impressive. While the big labs' closed models still win as generalists, we've been working on fine-tuning our own specialist for enterprise document processing on top of an open-weights base, adapted for use in our custom agent harness and for visual layout reasoning. Recent iterations come within spitting distance of much larger models at a fraction of the size and token usage. In this talk, we share why and how we did it, as well as what it means for how we build efficient agentic systems at Klassif.ai even with hosted models.
**Why NLP is More Alive Than Ever in the Age of LLMs.**
*Tomas Staelens & Jean-Charles Nadé (Campfire AI)*
The hype surrounding Generative AI has led many to believe that traditional NLP is a thing of the past, but the reality on the ground is different. In this talk, Tomas and Charly dive into why "just prompting it" often fails in enterprise environments where cost and ROI are non-negotiable. They will showcase the synergy between NLP and LLMs and argue that the future belongs to a hybrid architecture. Finally, they will share practical patterns for using NLP as a guardrail and optimizer for AI workflows.
**Building AI‑native agentic extraction for commercial leases: the grown‑up path**
*Frederik Durant (Reavant)*
The art of agentic engineering is transforming the software development life cycle at an unprecedented pace. In this new arms race, AI engineers, software architects, and DevOps practitioners are expected to deliver 10x the impact without compromising quality or accountability. In this talk, Frederik will candidly describe his human experience so far navigating this professional identity shift. Additionally, he will show how his company Reavant built an agentic extraction system for complex tenancy documents, and what this taught him about going truly AI‑native.

CodeRetreat Leuven
Come and join **your fellow peers** to have a good time **practicing** **writing code** to get better at writing code in your real jobs.
We’ll start off with **koffiekoeken** and form pairs to do the Game of Life Code Kata.
After 45 minutes we’ll delete all our code and talk about new insights you’ve gained.
Then we’ll pair up with new people and do it all over again but with new constraints applied, like not using conditional expressions, or committing code on green within 2 minutes.
At some point we’ll break for lunch and we’ll figure something out for dinner too.
## **What to bring?**
This event is very hands-on and it’s always better to come prepared.
Bring your laptop (and peripherals if this helps you code better).
Make sure you’ve installed GIT, and some programming languages you like.
Here are some kickstarting code repositories you can already clone to see if they are usable for you on your machine:
[https://github.com/SoftwareSandbox/coderetreat-kotlin](https://github.com/SoftwareSandbox/coderetreat-kotlin)
[https://github.com/SoftwareSandbox/coderetreat-java17](https://github.com/SoftwareSandbox/coderetreat-java17)

[https://github.com/TimmyGilissen/coderetreat-dotnetcore](https://github.com/TimmyGilissen/coderetreat-dotnetcore)
## **Schedule**
08:30 Welcome with koffiekoeken
09:00 Kick-off, facilitated by Vincent Verhoeven and Tim Schraepen
09:30 First kata
12:30 Lunch break
13:30 More kata’s
17:30 Closing
## **Is this event for me?**
If one or more of these apply to you, I’d say you’ll have a good time and learn something new:
* You’re a student and want to learn from people that code for a living
* You want to improve your coding skills
* You want to learn how to improve your AI context/harness engineering via software crafting skills
* You’ve never done Test Driven Development before
* You’re experienced and want to pair with somebody outside of your team
* You’re very experienced and want to help your peers grow their coding skills
## **Practical Info**
Our host of the day is Unlockd and along with sponsoring the food and drinks, they’ve lent their office space (desks, monitors, meeting rooms, …) to help you become a better software developer.
Unlockd is an agency specialised in building (mobile) apps for any screen. They focus on collaboration with clients who appreciate creating value through small iterations. They do this for mobile, web, desktop and embedded devices. In small teams they focus on app development but include all involved 'edges' like back-end/middle layers, embedded/BLE interfaces, design, dev ops, app store publishing and optimisation, production monitoring, etc.
They've build apps for Hubo, Standaard Uitgeverij (Strips), Lava (fruite & vegetable auctions), Classified Cycling and many more.
Forest Play: Movement and Reconnection in Nature
FOREST PLAY (10h-12h)
The Forest Play - sessions are inclusive, nurturing and natural reconnecting events, focussing on restoring or replenishing energy, the sense of joy and personal perspective by interacting (and playing) with nature's healing elements.
Combining tension-releasing stretches, easy flow-restoring exercises (using trees, branches, logs, stones, hills...), doing silent or touch meditations and playful authentic relating games, we're able to get in touch with our inner-child and start to feel free, open-hearted, unassuming and adventurous again, bringing back the joy and vitality we all carry deeply within, but often believed to have been lost. Our hearts gradually open and start reconnecting again.
The 2h-sessions focus on gradually increasing physical resilience, but include emotional and energetic aspects as well to restore general holistic balance in body, mind and spirit. There is no competitive stake to it, there are no extremes or high-intensity actions involved. But we do play gently with our personal comfort zones, sliding in and out, at times challenging our personal beliefs, convictions and limitations. These edges are where the real learning takes place, so take note.
The sessions have powerful therapeutic value. They are developed, customised and guided by specialised trauma therapist Ken Christiaens. All exercises, while feeling light and fun, have a foundation in trauma and tension-releasing therapies, with elements of inner child work, constellations, reiki, NLP, somatic work, role/game play and meditation. Nature's increased healing potential (forest bathing) is fully being harnessed here.
For more info on the therapeutic practice of Ken, please visit: www.nieuwegrond.be
PRACTICAL
The Forest Play-session starts at 10h sharp and ends at 12h. It costs 18e to participate.
Meeting and end-point is always Parking Forest Playground Everzwijnbad, Weertsedreef 8-10, Oud-Heverlee (please read location description well, Google Maps can be a bit tricky).
You actually might get a bit dirty and sweaty at some point, please prepare for outdoor nature workout: sporty shoes with ribs, sporty clothes, maybe a small towel (feet might get dirty or wet) or anything you feel comfortable with.
Regarding the payment:
You will be asked to transfer 18e to Ken's account beforehand or bring it on the day itself.
Your participation is only confirmed if you have confirmed the payment as well.
The event will be cancelled only when the weather really doesn't allow it.
If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask via personal message.
We hope to see and connect with you there!
Fast Friending: Real Connections! (21-40/Bring a Lady FREE)
Has it been just you and your phone lately? It’s easy to feel connected yet still feel alone. Digital interactions can’t replace the warmth of eye contact, real laughter, and meaningful conversations. True connection happens when we step away from our screens and show up as ourselves — present, open, and engaged.
At Fast Friending, we create spaces where real relationships begin. - just genuine conversations and shared moments. Because nothing compares to meeting face-to-face, discovering common ground, and walking away with a connection that truly feels real.

Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
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.

CBusData - Practical AI for Power BI Developers
Practical AI for Power BI Developers
A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective.
This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly.
Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
