Data & Draft: Where Data Science/Engineering Meets Delicious Brews
Join us for an evening of insightful talks, engaging discussions, and refreshing drinks at our Data & Draft meetup! This event brings together enthusiasts and professionals from all areas of data, including data science, data engineering, machine learning, and AI. This month, we're excited to present two fascinating talks, featuring talented experts from Findable. Along the way, we’ll also take a look at The Lauscher-Printz dataset and how to use image processing.
Image Processing for Document Understanding – A deep dive into fine-tuning a VLLM for tackling table understanding and OCR tasks. Learn how fine-tuning can be applied to real-world challenges and how image processing tricks can make the job easier for the model.
vLLM Finetuning for Document Understanding - Findable has chosen to keep the details under wraps, but from what we've heard, it promises to be intriguing. Expect something unexpected—perhaps even something rare and elusive, much like a certain small bird making its way to Finnmark. We’re as curious as you are. Join us to find out!
