Influence, intrigue, and combat in the universe of Dune. Difficulty: Medium - rules will be explained **PLEASE keep an eye on your messages as I may need to message you. You will need to reply within 24 hours or potentially lose your place.** Dune: Imperium is a game that finds inspiration in elements and characters from the *Dune* legacy, both the new film from Legendary Pictures and the seminal literary series from Frank Herbert, Brian Herbert, and Kevin J. Anderson. As a leader of one of the Great Houses of the Landsraad, raise your banner and marshal your forces and spies. War is coming, and at the center of the conflict is Arrakis – Dune, the desert planet. *Dune: Imperium* uses deck-building to add a hidden-information angle to traditional worker placement. You start with a unique leader card, as well as a deck identical to those of your opponents. As you acquire cards and build your deck, your choices will define your strengths and weaknesses. Cards allow you to send your Agents to certain spaces on the game board, so how your deck evolves affects your strategy. You might become more powerful militarily, able to deploy more troops than your opponents. Or you might acquire cards that give you an edge with the four political factions represented in the game: the Emperor, the Spacing Guild, the Bene Gesserit, and the Fremen. Unlike many deck-building games, you don’t play your entire hand in one turn. Instead, you draw a hand of cards at the start of every round and alternate with other players, taking one Agent turn at a time (playing one card to send one of your Agents to the game board). When it’s your turn and you have no more Agents to place, you’ll take a Reveal turn, revealing the rest of your cards, which will provide Persuasion and Swords. Persuasion is used to acquire more cards, and Swords help your troops fight for the current round’s rewards as shown on the revealed Conflict card. Defeat your rivals in combat, shrewdly navigate the political factions, and acquire precious cards. The Spice must flow to lead your House to victory! (Description from BoardGameGeek) Price: $110 First-timers, or people I haven't met before, will be asked to confirm their booking. I'll message you with details after your RSVP. **You need to reply within 24 hours to keep your spot.** No outside food is allowed at the venue. It is also a shoes-off venue. No-show and lateness: anyone not showing up, dropping out on the day or late the night before or being late a number of times without good reason may be blacklisted from my future games.

Unlike the usual BYOB format of this group, this is an **assigned reading format.** **You are expected to have read some of the book** to join the discussion :) I am excited to finally read this book, its an award-winning, one of the most highly rated non fiction books across Goodreads/Amazon and for good reason! About the book: # A grand, devastating portrait of three generations of the Sackler family, famed for their philanthropy, whose fortune was built by Valium and whose reputation was destroyed by OxyContin. From the prize-winning and bestselling author of Say Nothing. *"A real-life version of the HBO series Succession with a lethal sting in its tail…a masterful work of narrative reportage.*” – Laura Miller, Slate “*The opioid epidemic has killed nearly half a million Americans over the past two decades. Many of their loved ones, along with public health advocates and experts, believe that one very rich, very famous family has never fully faced the consequences for its role in those deaths. EMPIRE OF PAIN, the explosive new book by journalist Patrick Radden Keefe, is an attempt to change that — to hold the family accountable in a way that nobody has quite done before...*” —Jonathan Cohn, The Washington Post Note: * **location subject to change** but we'll keep it around Wan Chai District. * You **must** buy something at the venue. * **First timer attendees** are requested to contribute 20HKD to fund the Meetup Group Subscription. * No-Shows make the host sad (please update your attendance)

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. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
