Hi Deep Learners, It took us a while, but our next Deep Learning Meetup is taking place on **April 28** at Frequentis. Our topics this time are: Zero-Shot Forecasting with TiRex and Responsible Annotation Services. \*\*\* **Agenda:** * 18:15 Arrival * 18:30 **Introduction** by the meetup organizers * **Welcome** by the host: Frequentis * 18:45 **Talk 1:** **TiRex: Zero-Shot Forecasting Across Long and Short Horizons with Enhanced In-Context Learning** by Sebastian Böck *(NXAI GmbH)* * 19:30 **Announcements** * **Networking Break** * 20:00 **Talk 2:** **Combining technological precision with social responsibility in training data preparation** by Andreas Schachl *(Responsible Annotation Services)* * 20:45 **Networking** * \~21:30 **Wrap up & End** \*\*\* **Important Arrival Information:** * the closest metro stop is U6 Tscherttegasse; however, the track is closed in direction Siebenhirten: you'd have to go to next stop (Schöpfwerk) and then ride 1 stop back * Alternatives: * from U6/S Meidling: 15 min walking * Badner Bahn: Am Schöpfwerk * by bike * if you arrive by car: parking spots available **Talk Details:** **Talk 1:** **TiRex: Zero-Shot Forecasting Across Long and Short Horizons with Enhanced In-Context Learning** TiRex is a compact pre-trained forecasting model for zero-shot time series forecasting across both short and long horizons. 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.

This is a structured coworking session for people who want to follow through and get it done. To join, please register here (takes 1–2 minutes): [https://nocrastination.space/](https://nocrastination.space/) **Execution with Style. You start, but don't finish. We help you get it done.** Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6?mode=gi_t) Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/) You just haven’t been able to follow through. You start things, lose momentum and find yourself starting over again. You’re not alone. Most people get support at the beginning. And applause at the end. But the part that actually matters? The middle. The quiet, repetitive, sometimes frustrating part where nothing feels exciting, and everything depends on showing up. **That’s where we are.** At NoCrastination, we don’t meet for hype. We meet to **show up and finish something, together.** Not perfectly. Not magically. Just consistently. **Why “Style”?** Because sometimes, the hardest part isn’t the task. It’s who you believe you are when you sit down to do it. When you wear something different, something bold, unusual, or expressive: you step slightly outside your usual identity. And in that small shift… It becomes easier to start. Easier to act. Easier to follow through. **Execution with Style** Each session, you’re invited to wear something you normally wouldn’t: * the jacket that never leaves your closet * something colorful, dramatic, or expressive * something funny, strange, or unexpected * something you feel like you “can’t pull off” No pressure. But if you join in, be ready to share the story behind it. **Self-expression + execution = momentum** **What this really is** This is a space for people who: * keep starting but don’t finish * are building something (or figuring it out) * don’t want to do it alone anymore **What happens here** You bring something you’ve been avoiding. We sit down together. We focus. And you leave with something done. **Why people come back** * “I finally follow through on what I plan” * “I leave with real progress every time” * “This is the only place I actually stay consistent” **Time and location** 🕐 **Every Tuesday, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM** 📍 **Jaz in the City – Ground Floor Lounge** Windmühlgasse 28, 1060 Vienna 💻 **Bring:** your laptop, journal, or anything you’ve been avoiding ☕ Please do order something from the bar, so as to keep us in their good graces! Espresso: €3.5, Americano: €4.5, Latte: €5.5. Donations to support the community are voluntary and welcome. **How it works** * **13:00–13:30 → arrival + soft intro + set your task** * **Deep focus sessions (2 x 90’ + 15’ breaks)** * Quiet focus + optional social space * Drop in anytime, stay as long as you want Simple structure. Real progress. **First time joining?** Look for **Joanna Liu** near the ground floor bar 💛 We’ll get you settled. **This is for you if:** * You keep starting but don’t finish * You feel stuck working alone * You want structure — without pressure * You want to express yourself AND move forward **What you’ll get** Not motivation. Not a productivity hack. **You’ll get: ONE THING DONE.** And then you come back, and do it again. **This is how it starts** You don’t need to commit to anything big. Just come once. Pick one thing. Finish it. We’ll be there. As we’re growing and improving the experience, we’re moving to a more structured system. Registration is part of participating. **Stay connected** Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6?mode=gi_t) Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/) This is a space you can keep coming back to. **You’re not behind. You’re just in the middle.** And you don’t have to go through it alone. You are one of us.

**Walk & Talk** Willst du auch mehr Bewegung in dein Leben bringen? Und dich dabei noch gut unterhalten, so dass die Zeit verfliegt? Dann bist du hier genau richtig, denn mir geht es genauso. Alleine ist langweilig und die Zeit vergeht nicht, daher hab ich mir Walk & Talk überlegt. Inspiriert wurde ich durch die Walk & Talk Gruppe in Hamburg, wo ich mehrere Male dabei war als ich in Hamburg lebte. Unterschiedliche Menschen treffen sich einmal in der Woche für einen flotten Spaziergang und unterhalten sich dabei. Ich liebe es neue Menschen kennenzulernen und auch bekannte Gesichter wiederzusehen, dann geh ich ganz nebenbei und das macht auch noch Spaß.😊 **Walk:** Wir brauchen einfach regelmäßige Bewegung und ich weiß selbst, wie schwierig es ist, diese in den Alltag zu integrieren. Deshalb ist dieser Walk genau richtig. Nach diesem Spaziergang fühlst du dich einfach wohl, fit und entspannt. **Talk:** Das Reden kommt ganz von selbst beim Gehen. Du kannst über alles reden, egal, ob privates oder berufliches, alles was sich ergibt ist willkommen. Und wenn du keinen Bock aufs Reden hast, dann gehst du alleine, auch das ist völlig in Ordnung. **Wie das ganze abläuft:** * Die Teilnahme ist völlig kostenlos. * Wo: U6 Spittelau (im Freien), Richtung Donaukanal, Ausgang Josef-Holaubek-Platz, direkt vor dem Fernwärme-Turm (https://maps.app.goo.gl/XwAayz4FQe2EW8WK9) Wenn du mit der U4 kommst, geh bitte zum Hauptgebäude, wo die Züge und die U6 fahren. * Wann: Wir treffen uns dienstags um 13 Uhr, egal, ob bei Regen, Sturm und Kälte oder bestem Sonnenschein – Walk & Talk findet nahezu JEDE Woche statt außer ich bin mal im Urlaub. * Wir starten pünktlich und beginnen mit einer kurzen Vorstellungsrunde. * Wie gehen am Donaukanal entlang von Höhe Spittelau bis zum Schwedenplatz und zurück. * Ca. 7 Kilometer sind wir unterwegs und unterhalten uns dabei mit interessanten Menschen. Dabei kannst du neue Bekanntschaften schließen, dich inspirieren lassen, von Projekten erzählen oder einfach nur smalltalken und die frische Luft genießen. Alles ist erlaubt. * Nach ca. 1,75 Stunden sind wir wieder am Ausgangspunkt zurück. * Bei einer Teilnahme von über 5 Personen gehen wir in Paaren und wechseln diese alle 10 Min. Wenn du aber lieber alleine gehst, ist das auch vollkommen in Ordnung. * Für alle, die einfach mal etwas Neues ausprobieren wollen. **Bist du bereit?** Dann komm mit! **Start bei U6 Spittelau Ausgang Donaukanal** Nochmal: um **PUNKT 13.00 Uhr dort sein**, denn **nach kurzen Vorstellungsrunde gehen wir gleich los. Sei pünktlich, denn die Gruppe wartet nicht.** Du musst nichts vorbereiten oder dich gar anmelden, komm einfach vorbei. Ausreden gibt es nicht. Geh mit und freu dich auf eine tolle neue Erfahrung. **Wer macht es?** Ich bin Marie Meyer-Marktl und Ideengeberin, Host und Organisatorin von Walk & Talk. Ich unterstütze seit 2019 Menschen dabei Freude ins Arbeitsleben zu bekommen und bin Business und Life Coachin. „Strahle, wenn du an deine Arbeit denkst“, ist meine Vision für jedermann und jedefrau. Privat merkte ich, dass ich endlich wieder mehr Bewegung brauche – und das klappt am besten gemeinsam mit anderen Menschen. Sei dabei bei Walk & Talk und bring Bewegung in dein Leben. **Do you speak English? Then welcome to Walk & Talk!** This event is suited for all people who like to connect to other people and like to walk. The beauty of this regular event is that you are in the nature and you walk around 7 kilometers. In the meantime, if you feel for it, you talk, if not, you just walk. You do something for your health, get to know new people and you will feel much better. It’s FREE, all you need to do is to show up this Tuesday at no later than 1 pm at the U6 Spittelau exit to Donaukanal.

Dear Austrians, **Stable Money?** As simple and harmless as our next topic sounds, it is all but. What is "stable", really? Stable to what exactly? What are the different dimensions of stable? Can money be truly stable? Why is there an illusion of stability? Why do people wish for it? What type of money can be stable? What stabilises money, what destabilises it? What's the role of expectations? Who are the losers of unstable money, who the winners? Our next salon will commence with a short impulse keynote, followed by a Socratic debate. The hosts provide complimentary drinks, you provide your thoughts and questions. As usual, we will meet in the "Hayek Saal" at Vienna's Hayek Institute. I look forward to a lively debate. Yours, Hubertus

**Max. 8 participants:** [Register via my website](https://playfight.my-power.at/events/intimacy-may-3-2026/) **Intimacy Without Sexuality — Playfight Workshop** **ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP:** **Playfight is a laboratory for real-life situations.** In this session, you’ll explore and shape **what intimacy means for you** in a clearly non-sexual space. • What kinds of closeness do you long to experience in a space free from romantic or sexual expectations? • How can you **experiment with emotional and physical intimacy** in ways that feel warm, authentic, and grounded in clear **boundaries.** Through movement, games, and playful physical interactions, we’ll practice: • **normalizing intimacy** in its different shapes as part of everyday human connection • **noticing** and welcoming what arises — including attraction or discomfort — **without acting** on it • staying present and grounded in connection. At a deeper level, we touch another paradox: We long for closeness — and we need clarity and safety. Can you gently open to **build trust, comfort, and meaningful bonds** with others, while staying **true to yourself**? **WHAT TO EXPECT:** ***🕒 Sunday, May 3rd, 16:00 – 19:30*** ***📍Golden Ape Studio, Schüttelstraße 37/8 · Wien*** 16:00 – Doors Open 16:15 – Start 19:30 – End Grounding, warm-up games, Playfight dynamics focused on the topic of the day, sharing circles. **Afterwards, feel free to stay, share snacks, and hang out together. 🌿** **ABOUT THE FACILITATOR:** Hi, I’m **Marco Moriggi**, I’m an [Coach (Lebens- und Sozialberater in training)](https://coach.my-power.at/) and a Workshop Facilitator.

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.

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

We will have our certified mediums available and you can receive 3 10-minute readings for $20. To keep you safe, we will be following all CDC and Health Dept. guidelines at our psychic fair today. Sitters and readers required to wear a mask. We will maintain a minimum of 6 foot physical distance during readings. Please, if you can, bring your own portable chair to use during your readings. Please note that we are at our wonderful new home at Unity of Columbus, 4211 Maize Road, Columbus, OH

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life.
