Summary
TechBrunch returns with an NLP edition: a small, relaxed brunch gathering at Hotel Metropolitan Edmont Tokyo where attendees discuss how computers process and generate human language. Conversations span the mathematical foundations of NLP (linear algebra, calculus, probability), prompt engineering and context window management, and the broader NLP ecosystem including core libraries, ML frameworks, and speech technologies.
The group welcomes computational linguists, data scientists, software developers, and anyone curious about NLP, with deep dives into interoperability with languages like Hy or Clojure and lessons learned from real-world projects. First-time attendees who RSVP and are confirmed get their meals on the house. Expect a small group rather than a large meetup.
