Summary
A morning brunch meetup in Iidabashi built around natural language processing. The group plans to work through how computers parse and generate human language, covering the techniques, tooling, and open problems in the field. Attendees are expected to bring their own experience and questions rather than sit through talks. The planned discussion spans the mathematical foundations of NLP (linear algebra, calculus, probability), prompt engineering and context window management, and the wider ecosystem of core libraries, machine learning frameworks, and speech technologies. There is also room for interoperability topics such as using Hy or Clojure, plus lessons carried over from real production NLP work. The format is a relaxed sit-down brunch at the restaurant Beltempo inside Hotel Metropolitan Edmont. It is deliberately a small gathering, so an RSVP is needed to find the group. First-time attendees confirmed on the attendee list have their meal covered.
About the community

A small, recurring brunch series for people who work with or are curious about language technology: computational linguists, data scientists, software developers, and mathematicians. Each edition picks a theme and runs as an open table discussion over a meal rather than a talk programme, and the group stays intentionally small so everyone can take part. Newcomers are welcomed with a free meal on their first visit, and the schedule is adjusted based on what regulars ask for.
