It's a wrap! What did we learn this time at Masovian AI Fest? That sometimes it's best just to go out and talk to people. No stress, no fanfare. No "esteemed speaker, distinguished guest of the evening." That such relaxed and small initiatives open up the event world to people who might not usually show up. I'm absolutely amazed that for some guests, this was their first event of this kind! Which doesn't mean they're not active or interested! Just looking for the welcoming space. And of course – diversity! From students working on their projects to representatives from Silicon Valley. No barriers, just genuine openness. 1️⃣ Katarzyna Klimek showed us how we can get started on prototyping our solutions or implementing projects in collaboration with Inkubator Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego. And it's not just for students. There's a lot of hidden value there! I must admit, access to infrastructure and ambitious talent eager to collaborate is tempting. I recommend reaching out to her about this! Bulk PoC development, here I come. 2️⃣ Jędrzej Świeżewski, PhD, came before the audience with absolute passion for what he does. And suddenly it became clear that cormorant nests are extremely important even for developers working with algorithms. Also, he discussed how supporting science contributes to positive employer branding, morale, and credibility. Time is limited – let's ask ourselves when it's worth doing things for money and when for ourselves. Surprisingly, these can align. Kudos to Appsilon. 3️⃣ Jerzy Orłowski, with his energy, told us about how MIM Solutions scientific-business team manages to bridge both worlds. He explained the benefits of bringing a scientific mindset (deep diving into topics, analytical approach, knowledge-seeking, but also getting fixated on less important issues) as well as a business mindset (focus on delivering value, agile processes, knowing when to drop a topic if it's not viable). Additionally, he gave a whole lecture on building the right architecture for analyzing and classifying physical outdoor campaigns! ____________________________ Personally, I didn’t make it to the end of all the behind-the-scenes discussions. But the limit of stimuli and topics in my head required an escape into the dark night. Still, I left with satisfaction, knowing that lively discussions and friendly laughter continued behind me. Thank you all. And finally, I have to share what is probably my favorite photo of the evening with Paweł Gołąb 🫡

Today, our CEO, Jerzy Orłowski will present the results of our recent collaboration with AMS SMART OOH. This success story is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our teams. It required significant effort to ensure our AI model performed accurately to meet our client’s needs, and we made it well. Interested in learning more?

Scientist turned CEO! 🔥 Please welcome Jerzy Orłowski as our third speaker at Masovian AI Fest - Back To School Edition. The title may sound ominous to some of us but bear with me. That's the power of the academic mind injected into solving real-life business cases. We’ll showcase how MIM Solutions integrated various AI tools to create an effective image analysis solution tailored to their client's needs. The presentation will focus on the challenges encountered while working with models like GPT-4 and EfficientNet, and provide practical insights into navigating the pitfalls of AI R&D and client collaboration in real-world projects. Who's Jerzy? He is the CEO of MIM Solutions, a spin-out of Warsaw University, focused on R&D in AI and advanced algorithms. He also collaborates with the GRAI group on AI challenges.
