AI Paper Club: From Research to Reality
AI Paper Club brings together researchers, engineers, founders, and AI practitioners to explore one AI research paper in depth. Our first session will focus on Bilinear Mamba-Koopman Neural MPC for Varying Dynamics, written by Matan Pagi and Zohar Sorek. We will begin with dedicated reading time. Everyone will receive the paper on arrival and can read it independently or work through it with people they meet in the room. This gives every participant time to engage directly with the research before the discussion begins. After the reading session, Matan and Zohar will introduce themselves and walk us through the work, including the problem they set out to solve, the approach they developed, and its potential applications. We will then open the conversation to everyone in the room to ask questions, challenge assumptions, exchange perspectives, and explore where the research could lead. No panel and no passive audience. Just one paper, its authors, and a room full of people ready to think about it together. Sponsored by AI Paper Club is hosted by Psistar, Microsoft for Startups, and Hetz Ventures, bringing together applied research, startup experience, and the people building the infrastructure behind the next generation of AI. Psistar builds a real-time, physics-informed expert for critical operations, powered by proprietary models and a neuro-symbolic architecture. Its perception layer, PsiFM, forecasts physical sensor signals zero-shot, without retraining for each new site. Its cognition layer, Rosetta, turns engineering schematics into a structured plant model the agent can reason over. Together, they ground the agent’s decisions in both live system behavior and engineering knowledge, making them more accurate and reliable. Microsoft for Startups helps founders build fast, scale smart, and sell more. Startups can access Startup credits and unlock up to $150K over time, while gaining access to AI tools, technical guidance, and go-to-market support designed to
