The April edition meet-up from the Data science society & PyData meet-ups 2025 is here!

Who is the presenter?

Dimitar Lyubchev works as Head of Experts (IT) at KBC Group, overseeing the strategic management and development of talent across several Agile Trains, including developers, system engineers, and application managers. A guy from Varna with a strong affinity of speaking soft, playing beach volleyball and any other sport including a ball, a basket, a net or a racquet!
Currently a PhD student under the supervision of Dr. Angel Marchev Jr. focused on two main areas – Automating Low Level Business Decisions and Exploring new methodologies for self-organizing predictive models with special focus on Evolutionary Algorithms.

In this session you will have the chance to learn more about:

This talk explores how Neuro-Evolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT) can tackle complex operational decisions in management through evolutionary methods. Using the Sokoban puzzle as a case study, we demonstrate how NEAT evolves both structure and key parameters such as weights, nodes, and connections in an autonomous way, without relying on predefined models, enabling adaptive and self-organizing solutions. We’ll discuss its advantages and challenges and explore its potential beyond games – from resource allocation to process optimization, shaping the future of self-organizing decision-making systems.

Except for the MeetUp, everyone is invited to share what he/she is doing in the field of Data Science – We believe that sharing is caring! Save some time after the presentation for networking and chatting! : )

Data and Time: April 16th, 18:30-21:30 EEST Timezone

Location: Sofialab, 1 Serdika Str, 3rd floor, Sofia
