What weβre about
Deep Learning Adventures is a welcoming group for anyone interested in learning more about deep learning, its foundations, its strengths and weaknesses and ever growing applications that best serve humanity and help those in need throughout the world. After participating in hundreds of meetups in the area, we have taken many lessons learned and incorporated them into this group. This group is also startup oriented in the sense that we are open minded and ready to pivot to new directions as our community and needs around the world guide us.
We use online courses as guides from platforms like Coursera, deeplearning.ai, Udacity and fast.ai as well as known universities like Stanford and MIT. We also explore papers that have propelled this field to new heights and use coding projects and applications, mostly in Python, to meet a need or bring an idea to life.
Anyone with an honest interest in artificial intelligence, is welcomed, regardless of background. We believe in team building and collaboration and use human centric design principles to iterate over a project as needed. We promote a strong community bond and aim to learn from each other as none of us is really an expert.
This group is open to anyone around the world, with many of our members located in the Washington DC Metro Area. Our mission is to use data, AI and technology to help and support others in need anywhere around the world. As such we are open to collaboration with other meetups, organizations, companies or governments agencies that aim to use deep learning in making a positive impact around the world.
Join our Deep Learning Adventures community and become an expert in Deep Learning, TensorFlow, Computer Vision, Convolutional Neural Networks, Kaggle Challenges, Data Augmentation and Dropouts Transfer Learning, Multiclass Classifications and Overfitting and Natural Language Processing NLP as well as Time Series Forecasting π Join us and earn your TensorFlow Developer Certificate! All while having fun learning and participating in our Deep Learning Trivia games π

See all- Creating an MCP client to connect to MCP servers2300 Wilson Blvd #600, Arlington, VA
Join us for a fun community adventure on our journey in deep learning and data science in general. This is a hybrid and recorded event, posted on our YouTube page the following day.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how LLMs access tools, data and prompts from external sources, simplifying how new content is integrated into AI applications. MCP provides a universal standard for connecting AI systems with data sources, replacing fragmented integrations with a single protocol. The result is a simpler, more reliable way to give AI systems access to the data they need.
MCP is based on a client-server architecture. It defines the communication details between an MCP client, hosted inside the AI application, and an MCP server that exposes tools. The server can be a subprocess launched by the client and running locally or an independent process running remotely. Despite being introduced only about 7 months ago, many open-source and fee based MCP servers have begun to appear. In the readme file of this repo (https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers), you will find a collection of MCP server examples, as well as references to community built servers and additional resources.
In this presentation we will walk thru example Python code to show how to integrate these opensource MCP tools into a chatbot client.
Note: This is a hybrid event taking place both in person as well as online! Please read the instructions carefully for each option. Feel free to post a comment here on Meetup if you have any questions or issues joining us in person or online.
