Bring your laptop! *** ​**Abstract**: In this workshop, we will discuss the unique challenges (and solutions) faced when deploying Deep Learning models to embedded microcontrollers. These tiny devices are increasingly capable of running models, even for relatively complex use cases, but come without many of the comforts of a classic computer. When deploying a model to a microcontroller, a much deeper understanding of the physical hardware and good knowledge of the various optimization paths that help reduce the resource consumption of an application is needed. We aim to shed some light on how to deploy models to these cheap, ubiquitous and sometimes surprisingly capable little pieces of hardware. ​**In this session, we will cover:** * ​Important differences between a desktop/server and a bare-metal embedded system * ​Quantization for model compression * ​Anatomy of an Embedded Application * ​Embedded ML Inference Engines and how to run them * ​Deploying a model step by step ​**Who is this event for?** This session is targeted at anyone with basic ML knowledge. Experience with C and embedded systems is probably helpful, but not required. We will cover the most important aspects as part of the workshop. **⚡ FINAL REMINDER ⚡** **You MUST register and be approved on Luma to attend.

Android, the one mystery left to be solved, by developers all around the world. Let us make a dent into the unknown by meeting, talking, discussing, drinking and celebrating what is the mobile operating system Android, developer edition. To start our tourney today, we got Siarhei Krupenich: Android Is Not Just Mobile: Lessons from TV, Auto, and WearAndroid is more than a mobile platform. This talk explores how development differs across Android TV, Android Auto, and Wear OS, focusing on platform-specific constraints, interaction models, and architectural trade-offs. Based on real-world experience, the session highlights practical lessons that go beyond traditional smartphone development. Following a quick break we'll have our second talk: Dirk Jäckel: From Cloud to Edge: Practical On-Device LLM Integration on AndroidThe assumption that LLM inference requires cloud infrastructure is increasingly outdated. This talk examines the current state of local language models on Android, covering model availability (including Liquid AI’s models and Google’s Gemini Nano), hardware constraints, and developer APIs. As a hands-on case study, we present an Android application leveraging Gemini Nano for on-device auto-tagging — demonstrating how to integrate MediaPipe / ML Kit-based inference into a production workflow.

**Join us for our next Machine Learning in Healthcare meetup in Berlin — proudly sponsored by the QUEST Centre!** Pizza is still back! Yes, we fought for it in 2025, and we continue to do so in 2026. Come hungry. We are very happy to announce our speaker **Prof. Grégoire Montavon**, who is a Professor at Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin at the Institute of AI in medicine (IKIM) and a Research Group Lead in the Berlin Institute for the Foundations of Learning and Data (BIFOLD). He received a Master's degree in Communication Systems from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in 2009 and a Ph.D. in Machine Learning from the Technische Universität Berlin in 2013. His research focuses on methods and applications of Explainable AI (XAI). A particular goal is to develop approaches that integrate well with state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) models used in medical diagnosis and research, so that these models can be verified and explored for insights. **His talk´s title is:** **Tackling Imperfect Data Environments via Robust and Explainable AI** **Abstract:** In this talk, I will present novel techniques for learning in imperfect data environments, specifically addressing challenges such as mislabeling and spurious correlations. Central to these new approaches is the design of new loss functions and Explainable AI techniques that can isolate artifact-inducing components during or after training, allowing them to be systematically removed from the final model. *** 📍 **Location:** “Atrium” conference room, 5th floor, Spreepalais, Anna-Louisa-Karsch-Straße 2, 10178 Berlin 🕕 **Doors open at 6:00 pm** — Talks start **at 7:00 pm!** * 6:00–7:00 pm — Arrival, food, and networking * 7:00 pm — Welcome by the hosts, followed by the talk + Q&A * 8:00 pm — More networking (and possibly more pizza) ⚠️ *Pro tip:* Sometimes only one of the four elevators is working! 📢 **IMPORTANT:** If you RSVP but later realize you can’t make it, *please release your spot* so others can join. *** This meetup is made possible with the kind support of the **QUEST Centre for Responsible Research at BIH**, who are providing both the venue and the delicious refreshments.

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

Join other experienced and aspiring agile coaches and professionals to: * develop and practice your coaching skills in a peer-to-peer environment * share current successes and challenges in your work environment and get support from each other * learn from each other, build better relationships and experiment with new ideas ***NOTE:*** Pre-registration is required for this event. **Please arrive 10 minutes early** to check in at the security desk.

It feels like we just saw each other 🤷. Join members of the local design and UX community for our monthly breakfast. For May we’re stopping in for Rooh’s popup breakfast/cafe concept. You know someone is getting the lobster yuzu croissant, and that’s not even the prettiest thing on the menu!.
