Join MacPaw's AI&Research team and Liquid AI for a conversation about the whole path from research to product, drawing on the on-device AI stack the two teams are building together. We'll talk about: 🔹 building a research team inside a company, 🔹 getting researchers and engineers to work as one, 🔹 benchmarking what nobody has measured yet, 🔹 what changes when a result leaves the lab for real devices. This evening is for researchers at any stage, from PhD students and postdocs to lab leads, and for the engineers who work alongside them. MacPaw is planning to open an AI&Research hub in Boston, so if you are early in your research career, this is a good room to be in: the team you could be working with is on stage and at the mixer afterwards. Come with questions. Speakers: ⚪ Alay Shah, Member of Technical Staff at Liquid AI ⚪ Mariya Hirna, AI & Research Manager at MacPaw ⚪ Maksym Kotliar, Staff Research Engineer at MacPaw 🎯 Moderated by Dr. Anna Zapaishchykova, Senior ML Scientist at Centile Bio.
