Talk #1 "When "probably" beats "exactly"

In data-intensive systems, accuracy is often optional — latency and memory are not. We will explore probabilistic data structures that enable fast, memory-efficient decisions. We’ll break down Bloom filters, HyperLogLog, and sketches, and show how embracing approximation leads to more efficient and practical data processing.

Talk #2 "From Pixels to Pavement: Building AI Agents for Location Discovery”

How can you uncover a property’s exact real-world address from just a single photograph—without any metadata? In this session, you’ll explore the emerging field of automated OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) and see how you can harness Large Language Models not just for what they “know,” but for how they think. Imagine yourself as an “AI detective.” You’ll learn how to guide an intelligent agent that examines architectural features, visible landmarks, and contextual clues—then orchestrates a sequence of specialized tools, from reverse image searches to geospatial databases, to triangulate a likely location. Through our feasibility study on New York City buildings, you’ll see how multi- modal data and iterative validation can help you achieve high-confidence geolocation. By the end, you’ll walk away with a clear understanding of this agentic framework, key takeaways from our experiments, and how you can apply these principles to push the boundaries of autonomous visual intelligence.
