July 28 - Paris AI, ML, and CV Meetup

July 28 - Paris AI, ML, and CV Meetup

Tue, Jul 28, 3:30 PM
From Paris AI, Machine Learning and Computer Vision Meetup
4.7

Join us for an in-person Meetup to hear talks from experts on cutting-edge topics across AI, ML and computer vision. **Date, Time and Location** Jul 28, 2026 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM CEST [InstaDeep SAS](https://maps.app.goo.gl/sjt4oiVL45aLHUHy7) 42 Rue de Paradis 75010 Paris, France **Finetuning VLMs for domain specific tasks** Vision-language models are becoming powerful general-purpose tools, but their real value often appears when they are adapted to domain-specific tasks. In this talk, I will present practical strategies for fine-tuning VLMs on specialized data, from dataset design and annotation quality to model selection, evaluation, and deployment constraints. I will discuss common challenges such as limited data, visual ambiguity, domain shift, hallucinations, and maintaining robustness in production. The session will focus on applied lessons for building reliable VLM systems that go beyond demos and solve concrete business or research problems. *About the Speaker* [Amine Belhakimi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/amine-belhakimi-0b8904189/) is a Staff AI Engineer at GoPro with over 5 years of experience in computer vision and applied machine learning systems. His work focuses on bringing AI models from research to production, with a growing specialization in vision-language models, multimodal AI, and domain-specific AI applications. **Computer Vision at Nanoscale - Detecting, Segmenting and Analyzing Nanoparticles in microscopic images** This talk covers detecting, segmenting, and analyzing nanoparticles in microscopic images — including YOLO models, Classical CV, and Gradio. *About the Speaker* [Atif Anwer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/atifanwer) is a computer vision and AI researcher with a passion for building intelligent systems that bridge robotics, deep learning, and real-world applications. He earned a joint Ph.D. from INSA Rouen Normandie and Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, where his work focused on generative AI and image enhancement using polarimetric imaging data. **Towards a Resolution- and Modality-Agnostic Transformers for Earth Observation** Vision Transformers (ViT) dominate computer vision. However, their reliance on rigid patch projectors hinders transfer to Earth Observation (EO), where inputs vary widely in modality, scale, and resolution. We introduce UniverSat, a ViT-style backbone built around a Universal Patch Encoder that maps patches from arbitrary spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions, and from both optical and non-optical sensors, into a shared embedding space with a single set of weights. This enables training one model on heterogeneous multimodal corpora in self-supervision, yielding robust sensor-agnostic spatial features. *About the Speaker* [Guillaume Astruc](https://www.linkedin.com/in/guillaume-astruc-6435b3173) is pursuing a PhD at Imagine Institute from École des Ponts ParisTech (ENPC), Lastig laboratory at National Institute of Geographic and Forest Information (IGN), and French National Centre for Space Studies (CNES). **Building Real-World Computer Vision Systems with Voxel51** This talk will explore practical workflows for building, evaluating, and improving modern computer vision systems. We’ll dive into real-world approaches to dataset curation, model analysis, multimodal AI workflows, and production-ready vision pipelines using open-source technologies. The session is designed for engineers, researchers, and AI practitioners looking to better understand how teams are developing and scaling computer vision applications today. Expect practical demos, technical insights, and discussions around the evolving AI tooling ecosystem. *About the Speaker* [Harpreet Sahota](https://www.linkedin.com/in/harpreetsahota204/) is a hacker-in-residence and machine learning engineer with a passion for deep learning and generative AI. He’s got a deep interest in RAG, Agents, and Multimodal AI. **Efficient Image Generation through Smarter Data, Objectives, and Alignment** State-of-the-art image generation models require massive web scrapes and expensive post-training alignment. This talk explores three recent works that challenge the "bigger is better" paradigm to build efficient and controllable models. First, we show how ImageNet alone (only 1/1000th the training data of Stable Diffusion) can match billion-scale models using a fraction of the compute. Second, we introduce a frequency-balanced training objective that overcomes spectral bias, learning high-fidelity textures up to 40% faster. Finally, we present MIRO, a multi-reward pretraining method that bakes human preferences directly into the model, bypassing costly post-hoc RLHF and outperforming models 30x its size. *About the Speaker* [Lucas Degeorge](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucas-degeorge-551a861a6/) is a PhD Student at Ecole Polytechnique and Ecole des Ponts. His main research interest lies in multi-modal generative models.

Ruby + AI meetup

Ruby + AI meetup

Tue, Aug 4, 5:00 PM
From ParisRB.new
4.9

**Special Edition — Ruby + AI** **AI can generate Ruby code. The harder skill is learning how to work with it well.** For this special edition, ParisRB.new and AI Tinkerers Paris are joining forces at Algolia for an evening combining technical talks, hands-on practice and the exchange of AI coding best practices. The goal is to develop the skills that now matter when coding with AI: providing the right context, breaking down tasks, choosing between one or several agents, reviewing generated code, testing it properly and identifying solutions that look convincing but are wrong. **Language** This event will be held in English. French-speaking support will be available during the workshop and informal discussions for anyone who needs it. **What to expect** The evening will have three parts: Short technical talks about real Ruby, Rails and AI projects A hands-on workshop based on Paris Ruby Workshop katas Optional demos and discussions about the methods, successes, failures and lessons discovered during the workshop During the talks, we encourage you to ask speakers practical questions about their workflows: Which tools and model versions do they use? How do they prepare context and project instructions? When do they use one agent or several? How do they test and review generated code? Which tasks do they still prefer to handle themselves? What failure modes do they encounter most often? You can then test their practices during the workshop or compare them with your own approach. **Schedule** **19:00 — Welcome** **19:10 — Introduction** Presentation of the meetup, communities, partners and available katas. **19:30 — AI Coding Practices: Lightning Talks and Q&A** Learn from real development workflows. Participants who prefer to start building immediately may begin their kata in parallel. **20:15 — Ruby + AI Workshop** Work individually or in a small group using your preferred AI coding setup. Pizza, beer and soft drinks will be served. **20:45 — Optional Demo Preparation and AI Feedback** **21:00 — Selected Demos: What Worked, What Failed, What We Learned** **21:25 — Goodies and Networking** Continue exploring other participants’ experiments and exchange best practices directly with their builders. **22:00 — End of the event** **Join the workshop** Bring your laptop and use the AI coding tool of your choice: Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot or any other setup. Before arriving, we recommend: * configuring your preferred AI coding tool; * checking any required API access or credits; * making sure your development environment works. You can work individually or with other participants. You do not need to be an AI expert, and presenting a demo is entirely optional. **Turn your experiment into a useful demo** If you want to share what you learned, two AI coaches will be available: * Our [technical feedback agent](https://paris.aitinkerers.org/meetup/mu_JTUa3id4MSY/speaking) will help you improve the technical content of your presentation. * [Speakli ](https://paris.aitinkerers.org/speakli)will help you practise your delivery and explain your work more clearly. The most instructive demos will be invited to present their methods on stage and will receive goodies. A completed solution is not required. An unexpected failure, a rigorous testing method or a smart way to guide an agent may teach the room just as much. Participants who do not present on stage can still share their setups, results and best practices during the networking session. **About ParisRB.new** Bonjour et bienvenue à toutes et à tous dans notre rencontre mensuelle autour du Ruby, Rails, web, tech, humains... voici la liste des présentations (qui peut toujours évoluer) nous demandons à chacun-e de suivre la Contributor Covenant (guide d'éthique et déontologie) nos événements sont le plus souvent diffusés sur Twitch et le replay sur YouTube : \[https://youtube\.com/@paris\-rb\]\(https://youtube\.com/@paris\-rb\) et \[https://twitch\.tv/paris_rb\]\(https://twitch\.tv/paris_rb\) pour chercher à embaucher, pour proposer un sujet : venez sur le Slack ou contactez les organisateur-ice-s c'est avant tout le meetup d'une communauté\, nous sommes là pour échanger\, discuter\, avancer ensemble \!
