**Bubblegum Crisis** Cyberpunk superhero action. You are the Knight Sabers, a mysterious team of vigilantes that stalks MegaTokyo and battles rogue cyberdroids the authorities can't handle. Equipped with secret technology, your powered armour suits and transforming robotic motorcycles give you a fighting chance against the deadliest combat machines created by the sinister Genom Corporation – your skill, bravery and teamwork enable you to win. **Royal Blood** They are: the Major Arcana, more concept than real. As the queens, gods, and bosses of this city, their power excedes all imagination. You are:the Minor Arcana, as much human as magic. Minor gangsters, nobles and jesters, demigods and monsters alike, your powers are limited to what you can scrape together in a pinch. Still, limitation breeds innovation. Tonight is: the heist of a lifetime, a chance to steal the heart from a god, and in turn, become one as well. Have a care not to lose yourself along the way. **The Social Season Disaster!** The Merchant Vessel SS Lady Luck has sunk in the Indian Ocean. It will only be a matter of time before Society finds out about your family's crippling financial loss! Only an advantageous marriage can save your fortunes. You and your siblings must charm and connive your way through the marriage mart. For necessity? For love? Survive intrigue and gossip as you aim for the very top of high society- before your reputations would be ruined forever! WHAT IS ONE-SHOT SATURDAY? It's a weekly meet-up in Sheung Wan/Central, focusing on indie games and single-session games (one-shots). 而家所有游戏係英文嘅但如果你要嚟玩中文游戏，我哋會無任歡迎。只要湊啱玩家就行！ You can drop in and play at any One-Shot Saturday – you do not need to have played in a previous session or commit to playing again. Whether you've played an RPG before or not, you're welcome to join us. Please arrive on time as once the games begin it becomes difficult to properly introduce latecomers. Join the conversation, make plans, suggest games to play, etc. — Facebook group: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/oneshotsaturdays/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/oneshotsaturdays/) \*\*\* WHAT IS A TABLETOP RPG? It's a game in which you never know where the next stop will be, because it’s all down to the decisions you and your fellow players make. Usually one person is the Game Master (or "GM"). Everyone else will be players, taking the role of the characters in the game. The players get to say what their characters say, think, and do. The GM describes everything else in the world. Then... we play to find out what happens. The game is a conversation: I say something, then you reply, maybe someone else chimes in. We talk about what's happening to the characters we imagine and the world around them. We also talk about the rules, which help us decide what happens next if the next step is in doubt. The rules differ from game to game: some use dice to shape the story, others use cards or something else. It's always a conversation, though.

Special thanks to our sponsor, **aeonea**, for making this event happen. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Speaker 1:** Gautier Marti **Topic:** Detecting Evasive Answers in Financial Q&A with NLP and Large Language Models **Summary:** Earnings calls and other financial Q&A sessions are a critical source of information for investors, yet executives often respond evasively without explicitly lying. This talk presents recent research, led by Khaled Al Nuaimi, on evasive answer detection as a standalone NLP task, distinct from sentiment or factuality. Gautier will introduce psychology-informed taxonomies of evasiveness, annotated datasets covering earnings calls and central bank press conferences, and both lightweight and large-model-based detection approaches. He will also discuss how recent benchmark efforts, including work by researchers based in Hong Kong, are shaping large-scale evaluation, and why automated detection of evasive language matters for transparency, market analysis, and downstream financial NLP applications. **Bio:** Gautier Marti is a quantitative researcher with experience in equity statistical arbitrage and credit trading strategies. He has a strong background in machine learning and its applications to alpha research. Alongside his professional work, Gautier actively follows and experiments with advanced research to evaluate its practical impact on portfolio performance. He also mentors several PhD students on topics including modern NLP and multimodal techniques for finance, explainability of trading models, and forecasting using large language models and network-based approaches. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Speaker 2 :** Yizhi Song **Topic:** Deep Tangency Portfolio **Summary:** This talk introduces a deep learning framework for estimating tangency portfolio weights by augmenting benchmark factors with a long–short deep factor learned from high-dimensional firm characteristics. The deep factor is optimized to maximize Sharpe ratio, hedging benchmark risks while capturing nonlinear signals across multiple markets. Applied to U.S. corporate bonds using 132 firm-level characteristics spanning bond, equity, and option data, the resulting deep tangency portfolio achieves an out-of-sample Sharpe ratio above 2 when benchmarked to the market factor, outperforming portfolios based on common observable or latent factors. The results suggest that bond risk premia are dense and require nonlinear, multi-market integration to effectively span the efficient frontier. **Bio:** Yizhi Song is a Quantitative Researcher at Squarepoint Capital in Hong Kong, where he focuses on systematic fixed income strategies. He holds a PhD in Empirical Asset Pricing from City University of Hong Kong (2024), with research applying statistical methods and machine learning to asset pricing. Yizhi also earned an M.S. in Applied Mathematics from Northwestern University and a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-

In this session of HKWD we dive into the world of local models with Google AI. The evening will be held at Garage society with their support along with AngelFlow. The night is split into two parts. One on video game development of Non Player Characters and using GenAI and the other will be The Browser is the Brain: Running Google Gemma Locally with WebGPU. **Talk 1: Video game development of Non Player Characters and using GenAI** Using AI in video games is not a new idea and has been used a long time for things like game mechanics, character movements, path finding, dynamic levels and maps. However using it for non playable charters is new and Google Gemma is designed exactly for that. We take a look at how to get up and running with Gemma in Unity and some of the alternatives. **Gemma** Google has a great library designed just for Non Player Characters and we will explore how to use it in Unity. https://ai.google.dev/gdc **About Rhys Turner** Co founder, Creative Technologist and Director, Tronica Rhys Turner is a Creative Technologist and Innovation Technologist, specialising in the intersection of technology, design, and luxury experiences. With a background in emerging technologies, AI, and interactive media, he explores innovative ways to enhance digital storytelling and customer engagement. His work focuses on blending creativity with technical innovation, pushing the boundaries of digital craftsmanship in the fashion and beauty industries. **Talk 2: The Browser is the Brain: Running Google Gemma Locally with WebGPU** While many associate AI with heavy cloud costs and latency, Google’s Gemma is small and efficient enough to run directly in the user's browser. In this session, Frankie (GDG Hong Kong) explores the frontier of "Local AI" for the web. We will discuss how developers can use Google’s tools to run Gemma models on-device via WebGPU. This approach eliminates API costs and privacy concerns, allowing web developers to create highly responsive, AI-powered interfaces that feel as fluid as a modern video game—all without a backend. **About Frankie Wu** Organiser, GDG Hong Kong As an Al Engineer, Frankie’s role revolves around leveraging Large Language Models and data mining to innovate news analytics. His recent academic journey culminated with a Master's in Computer Science from The University of Hong Kong, focusing on financial computing which complements his current work. Frankie’s expertise in Python and passion for machine learning empower him to contribute to large enterprise digital transformation. The fusion of risk management principles from his bachelor's degree and psychological insights helps him craft Al solutions that are not only technically sound but also contextually aware, enhancing the strategic decision-making process. **Sponsors and supporting partner** [Tronica](https://tronica.io/) - HKWD sponsor [Angelflow](https://www.angelflow.vc/) - supporting partner [Garage Society](https://www.thegaragesociety.com/) - supporting partner **Event notes** * This event is first come first serve and will be letting people in on a capacity basis * food and drinks buy by the bar * vip reserved seats upon request

WHAT IS ONE-SHOT SATURDAY? It's a weekly meet-up in Sheung Wan/Central, focusing on indie games and single-session games (one-shots). 而家所有游戏係英文嘅但如果你要嚟玩中文游戏，我哋會無任歡迎。只要湊啱玩家就行！ You can drop in and play at any One-Shot Saturday – you do not need to have played in a previous session or commit to playing again. Whether you've played an RPG before or not, you're welcome to join us. Please arrive on time as once the games begin it becomes difficult to properly introduce latecomers. Join the conversation, make plans, suggest games to play, etc. — Facebook group: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/oneshotsaturdays/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/oneshotsaturdays/) \*\*\* WHAT IS A TABLETOP RPG? It's a game in which you never know where the next stop will be, because it’s all down to the decisions you and your fellow players make. Usually one person is the Game Master (or "GM"). Everyone else will be players, taking the role of the characters in the game. The players get to say what their characters say, think, and do. The GM describes everything else in the world. Then... we play to find out what happens. The game is a conversation: I say something, then you reply, maybe someone else chimes in. We talk about what's happening to the characters we imagine and the world around them. We also talk about the rules, which help us decide what happens next if the next step is in doubt. The rules differ from game to game: some use dice to shape the story, others use cards or something else. It's always a conversation, though.
