Hi Deep Learners, We are happy to announce our next Vienna Deep Learning Meetup on **May 19** at Bosch. Our topics this time are: Improved Optimizers for Deep Learning and Automatic Speech Recognition in Air Traffic Management. \*\*\* **Agenda:** * 18:15 Arrival * 18:30 **Introduction** by the meetup organizers * **Welcome** by the host: Bosch * 18:45 **Talk 1:** **Momentum, Preconditioning, and Beyond: Practical Advances in Optimization** by Ionut-Vlad Modoranu (*ISTA*) * 19:30 **Announcements** * **Networking Break** * 20:00 **Talk 2:** **Cleared for Takeoff: Automatic Speech Recognition in Air Traffic Management** by Christian Sobtzick & Sahebeh Dadboud *(Frequentis)* * 20:45 **Networking** * \~21:30 **Wrap up & End** \*\*\* **Talk Details:** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Talk 1:** **Momentum, Preconditioning, and Beyond: Practical Advances in Optimization** Modern Deep Learning optimization is largely dominated by first-order methods such as Adam, yet their limitations in memory usage, scalability, and curvature awareness motivate the search for improved alternatives. This talk provides a practical perspective on optimization, starting from the roles of momentum and preconditioning and extending to recent advances that go beyond standard adaptive methods. We present techniques that improve optimization along three key axes: memory, structure, and computational efficiency. In particular, we introduce MicroAdam, a memory-efficient variant of Adam based on compressed optimizer states; Trion, a low-rank method that replaces costly SVD/QR projections with efficient, rank-independent alternatives; and DASH, a GPU-efficient implementation of Shampoo that accelerates second-order preconditioning via improved parallelization and fast matrix inverse root approximations. Together, these methods illustrate how careful algorithmic and systems-level design can overcome the practical limitations of existing optimizers, offering a path toward scalable, memory-efficient, and high-performance training beyond Adam. **About the speaker:** Ionut-Vlad Modoranu is a PhD student at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), specializing in efficient optimization for Deep Learning. His research focuses on reducing the memory usage and computational cost while maintaining the performance, including the development of practical optimizers for large-scale models, with publications at top tier international conferences. **Talk 2:** **Cleared for Takeoff: Automatic Speech Recognition in Air Traffic Management** Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) has made tremendous progress in recent years. However, its deployment in safety‑critical operational environments poses a fundamentally different set of challenges compared to demonstration systems or research prototypes. In this talk, we present how speech‑to‑text models are used in a real Air Traffic Management (ATM) product at Frequentis. We walk through the end‑to‑end lifecycle of an ASR system: how training data is collected and curated, how models are selected and evaluated, and what it takes to deploy and operate them reliably for customers in a regulated, safety‑critical domain. Beyond the models themselves, we discuss practical challenges from bringing ASR from research into production, where reliability and trust matter as much as accuracy. **About the Speakers:** Sahebeh (Saba) Dadboud is an Expert Data Scientist at the Frequentis AI Competence Centre. With over eight years of experience in the tech industry, she specializes in bridging Deep Learning, MLOps, and product development to build trustworthy AI for safety-critical systems. At Frequentis, she plays a pivotal role in driving company-wide AI initiatives, supporting the adoption of advanced technologies in domains where reliability, safety, and strict regulatory constraints are absolutely critical. She holds a Master’s degree in Computational Science from the University of Vienna. Christian Sobtzick is Audio Expert at Frequentis, leading the HET Audio Competence Centre. He is responsible for improving audio quality across all Frequentis voice communication products, drawing on more than 15 years of professional experience. In addition, he supports product development related to automatic speech recognition and contributes to research projects, such as the FFG “Next Generation Safety” project, which aimed to enable AI‑based automation in Air Traffic Management. His background is the field of acoustics, including electroacoustic transducers, acoustic measurements, and signal processing. He holds an MSc in Electrical Engineering and Audio Engineering from Graz University of Technology and the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. We are looking forward to welcoming you at our next meetup. Your VDLM organizer team.

This time, it’s all about **Agentic Coding**! Whether you are a pure vibecoder building entire apps with natural language or a seasoned dev architecting autonomous agent loops, we want to hear your story. The session is designed to be accessible for newcomers, while still providing depth and practical value for people already working with AI tools. **🕒 Date:** May 19th, 18:00 📍 **Location:** Walls.io Vienna Office **How to get there:** Schönbrunner Strasse 213-215 (close to U4/U6 Längenfeldgasse). Follow the Meetup-Signs! Enter the inner yard through the gas-station, then go up to the 3rd floor! ([https://share.freshvanroot.com/LBYdlr3Z](https://share.freshvanroot.com/LBYdlr3Z)) **Agenda:** TBA **Confirmed Speakers:** **[Edouard Maleix](https://www.linkedin.com/in/edouard-maleix/) \- How AI\-First Dev Teams Build Collective Intelligence** Edouard has been watching teams accumulate agent rules, notes, and feedback controls that never quite add up to a real system. Agents repeat mistakes across sessions, guidance grows without being validated, and what gets built is instructions, not reusable knowledge. His talk is about closing that gap: giving agents their own identity, signed commits, and reasoning linked to every change. When something breaks, the agent captures it, links it to the fix, compares it with lessons from other agents and humans, and feeds what survives back into future work. The goal is making mistakes compound into collective intelligence instead of disappearing into chat history. *** **[Andrew Demczuk](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-demczuk-4038a217/) \- Claws Across the Internet** Andrew is an OpenClaw contributor and AI battle arena builder who has spent his time figuring out what happens when you stop thinking about single agents and start connecting agents with agents. His talk is about AWA: Agents with Agents. When one agent can securely spawn and coordinate subagents across the internet, the force multiplier changes the game entirely. Andrew has stress-tested this in some of the more demanding environments imaginable: competitive AI battle arenas like CodeClash and BitGN, where agents don't just assist, they compete. The talk covers what agentic coordination actually looks like in practice, what secure subagent spawning requires, and what builders can take from the competitive AI space into their own workflows. *** **[David Wischnewski](https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-wischnewski/) \- Vibe Coding vs\. Agentic Engineering** David isn't a developer. He's a builder who uses AI to turn ideas into working tools, workflows, and products. That puts him in an interesting position to compare two distinct ways of working with AI: vibe coding, which is fast and chaotic, and agentic engineering, which starts to become reliable. In this talk, he shares what he's learned building with AI as a non-engineer: where coding agents genuinely help, where they break, and which habits separate a fun demo from something you can actually trust. *** **[Karim El Kaddioui](https://www.linkedin.com/in/karim-elkaddioui/) \- AI Agents in Knowledge Work** Karim is the FP&A Team Lead at Meister, and he's increasingly adding terminal-based AI agents into new and existing workflows. Using Codex, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork, he runs data analysis, builds decks, and manages his task tracker without touching most of the traditional tooling. This talk is a practitioner's view of agentic coding outside of software development: what it actually looks like when a finance professional runs agents in the terminal, where it works well, and what it takes to get there. *** **[Daniel Siegl](https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-siegl-b5903a24/) \- The Worktree Multiverse: Where AI Agents Build Software** Daniel Siegl is talking about infrastructure: specifically, the Git primitives that agentic development needs. Worktrees and Git notes have been around for years and mostly ignored. Agentic software engineering makes them essential. When autonomous agents work in parallel, managing state, history, and collaboration across sessions requires more than a single checkout and a commit message. This talk revisits these underused Git concepts and explains why they're suddenly at the center of orchestrating agents that build software. *** We’re excited to share that [SmartGit](http://clicks.meetup.com/ls/click?upn=u001.NY3oBFzZ5LJDG7YcnfSAKsNQOkaxabS6VuUPrlnpHzu8EAPOAc2-2FLyeGuorvSoWce0k5_ObpWV8nzFc9vT8vR4IfdMjR3-2BTWThn0qk33fQ5q-2F29EJaEeD0L-2FPDytPRQrB-2BsUDtKMeGzaIdwbp1FGmo9PE6l49ZAfxZLiwTQ6s9XbkH6uGC6wbt6-2FQCnYmAv3xTHdEc3XPhoZ-2FFXWDSJekk42IULJ-2FF1dAKsajRzahm-2ByuJNbvNnXlHG-2BKddt78zjTwDUCJdBWXmpvSt6VBHSKkXiZ-2BuDokbOEu1-2FP3smPBaMOgImWp0kO-2F3eildobgO6ZZCUNgBPSQ-2BA53lIskQE8Frk49nQGvQYyJW340Lb-2B949yK0O5TjB7rew08D8D4hhaBFwRgpu92uHAjuGR5tkUwhuajsTo6s97LhPUvYBmSmuon5uKncF73Dk1XMPVFbj7uuGbSChlcew2bRo7kmea1bfYMg5o-2BQWm1rzsnbrthIndgl0h2pPhCe9OMftpbr-2BWtOZYZfZiM2Rz1ThF9ttB6B7IUNHVrnBofXkzPZVFJ2tI-2FqkqTDyQuO3Gljd7CW7c1Cq8Hj3NOvEy4HVtxUoi3iCzrpWG-2Fm2p7oRPL0b6BlBI-2FoMX4kBoLoXPIU6WbWhY-2BgvrYNSsmcrqSxnSXUeY4RwFYdWiBhSfj5XUfmcaRR8YLwil8xH-2Bh0LXpulKdQlBMfXb7L32e1OagLarUjPXyj-2BAdDilcZ82siah8dJI9hfg6Xj2R7rhxsEMYuvJCKiWRYfocmxcuvZz2SyKPLThxkH-2Feg-3D-3D) has joined this edition of Vibecoding Vienna as a sponsor, alongside Walls.io and [Fresh van Root](http://clicks.meetup.com/ls/click?upn=u001.NY3oBFzZ5LJDG7YcnfSAKtyU3FvSAroXsYeII059Pq-2FwFUZdDRWR4xSsOgUJwveTzrO2_ObpWV8nzFc9vT8vR4IfdMjR3-2BTWThn0qk33fQ5q-2F29EJaEeD0L-2FPDytPRQrB-2BsUDtKMeGzaIdwbp1FGmo9PE6l49ZAfxZLiwTQ6s9XbkH6uGC6wbt6-2FQCnYmAv3xTHdEc3XPhoZ-2FFXWDSJekk42IULJ-2FF1dAKsajRzahm-2ByuJNbvNnXlHG-2BKddt78zjTwDUCJdBWXmpvSt6VBHSKkXiZ-2BuDokbOEu1-2FP3smPBaMOgImWp0kO-2F3eildobgO6ZZCUNgBPSQ-2BA53lIskQE8Frk49nQGvQYyJW340Lb-2B949yK0O5TjB7rew08D8D4hhaBFwRgpu92uHAjuGR5tkUwhuajsTo6s97LhPUvYBmSmuon5uKncF73Dk1XMPVFbj7uuGbSChlcew2bRo7kmea1bfYMg5o-2BQWm1rzsnbrthIndgl0h2pPhCe9OMftpbr-2BWtOZYZfZiM2Rz1ThF9ttB6B7IUNHVrnBofXkzPZVFJ2tI-2FqkqTDyQuO3Gljd7CW7c1Cq8Hj3NOvEy4HVtxUoi3iCzrpWG-2Fm2p7oRPL0b6BlBI-2FoMX4kBoLoXPIU6WbWhY-2BgvrUUsBkP0lI2pjjLQE1f844pTcm9yC4hHRLy89KKIj9IaVC9OAriE7cvq-2FU3qbtr6mDV-2Fw-2BaSnypyyvgqqKmQisDjktez0D-2BMcOh6GIiLvpGGyj7IMM-2BPiVVneDtzAJGa0NAdjzch-2FcZiwDt2tddQXUw-3D-3D)! **Want to speak at our next event?

Claude MAX Plan 20x for 2 months 2. DJI Mini 4K Drone 3. Flipper Zero **First talk**: **"Making significant software architecture decisions"** by Bert Jan Schrijver (OpenValue) Software architecture represents the significant design decisions that shape a system, where significant is measured by the cost of change. At its core, architectural decision-making is about balancing trade-offs to align technical solutions with broader requirements. But how do you approach a trade-off analysis? How do you choose between different solutions, frameworks, tools, languages, or cloud providers? Which factors should guide your decisions beyond just technical fit? And how do you make sure you’re not overlooking non-technical aspects like team expertise, long-term supportability, and hiring feasibility? In this session, he’ll share a structured approach to making informed, high-impact architecture decisions. We’ll break down technical, organizational, financial and other trade-offs and explore how to evaluate and balance competing concerns. You’ll walk away with practical strategies to make better architectural decisions in real-world projects. **About Bert Jan** Bert Jan is CTO at OpenValue and focuses on Java, AI, software architecture, Continuous Delivery and DevOps. Bert Jan is a Java Champion, JavaOne Rock Star speaker, Duke's Choice Award winner and leads NLJUG, the Dutch Java User Group. He loves to share his experience by speaking at conferences, writing for the Dutch Java magazine and helping out Devoxx4Kids with teaching kids how to code. **Second talk**: **"Device Management the DevOps Way"** by Erik Auer and Dimitrij Klesev (Whizus) In today’s hybrid work environment, traditional device management is often manual and opaque. This talk presents a DevOps approach to MDM using Infrastructure as Code and automation for speed, transparency, and GDPR compliance. We’ll show how Terraform defines device configurations and policies as code, while GitHub Workflows automate the full lifecycle — from validation and testing through approval to deployment. Emphasis is placed on a solid approval process where changes are reviewed via Terraform plans, with apply triggered only after the full pipeline and approvals. Learn practical patterns to make device management faster, safer, and fully auditable — turning MDM into a reliable, governed platform capability. **About Dimitrij and Erik** Dimi is Tech Lead at WhizUs with several years of experience working in the Kubernetes ecosystem and the Cloud Native domain. Erik Auer has been managing WhizUs, a company specializing in cloud-native technologies, for many years.

We’ve partnered with our friends from Angular Vienna to bring you an amazing evening of talks, networking, and spring energy! **Angular & MRDS** Angular is an enterprise-grade framework for building modular frontends. It seamlessly integrates with the complex communication patterns and asynchronous data streams typical of modern distributed and reactive architectures. Some of you may remember our past event about a **Micro Frontend Plugin System** built with Angular. If you are curious to hear what insights have emerged since then, this is the perfect opportunity to follow up! **RSVP** Please make sure to **RSVP on the [Angular Vienna](https://www.meetup.com/angular-vienna/events/314162066) page** to secure your spot! **The Highlights** 🗣️ Expert speakers 🎓 Knowledge sharing on the latest in Angular 🎫 Raffles with cool prizes 👥 Meet old and new friends from the community 🍻 Free drinks 🍕 Free food 🎉 Open-end networking ✔️ Just RSVP! **Location:** LEAN-Coders, Hainburger Straße 33 **Agenda:** 18:00 – Warm-up 18:15 – Meetup Intro 18:30 – Dominic Bachmann 19:15 – Pizza Break (30 mins) 19:45 – Robert Maier-Silldorff 20:30 – Break (15 mins) 20:45 – Raffle 21:00 - Outro & Open-End **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🗣️🗣️🗣️ Talks 🗣️🗣️🗣️ \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **Robert Maier\-Silldorff \- iteratec \| [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-maier-silldorff-71464ab2/)** **Microfrontend-Plugin-System: Architecture, Challenges, and Lessons Learned** This talk shares the story behind a microfrontend-based plugin system we built for a large enterprise customer. I’ll cover why we chose a plugin architecture, how the system is structured, key challenges we faced and how the solution has evolved over time—ending with lessons learned for building extensible frontend platforms. **Dominic Bachmann \- Vontobel \| [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-bachmann-645267319/)** **From Typos to Type Safety — Building a Typed Router for Angular** Route enums, path constant objects, flat route trees to avoid nesting complexity — Angular developers have invented all kinds of workarounds to bring some safety to navigation. But they all share the same problem: a second source of truth that you maintain by hand. In this talk, I'll share how I built angular-typed-router, a drop-in replacement that infers every valid path directly from your route configuration. You'll see the developer experience in action — full autocomplete, compile-time validation — and learn how interface augmentation, template literal types, and recursive conditionals make it work at zero runtime cost. **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-❤️🤝❤️ Sponsors ❤️🤝❤️ \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **PushBased** PushBased is a close-knit group of IT experts offering their knowledge and services in #Angular #RxJS #NestJS #JavaScript #TypeScript #webperf #Nx and more.

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

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!
