Huntsville AI

Casual AI Conversations
2026-06-10 17:30 - 19:30 (America/Chicago) | Stovehouse, 3414 Governors Dr SW, Huntsville, AL, 35805
This week we’re switching things up. Instead of a focused meetup with presentations, we’ll be having a casual AI discussion night.
Weather permitting, we’ll meet at Stovehouse common area on Wednesday night. David Showalter will be there from 5:30–7:30 PM to facilitate a few tables for the group, unless it’s absolutely storming.
Come on out, grab some food from the restaurant of your choice, and join the conversation. Talk through current AI news, share what you’re building, or just compare notes with the rest of the group. No agenda, no slides — just show up and dig in.
Details:

Date – 06/10/2026
Time – 5:30 – 7:30 pm
Location – Stovehouse
Address – 3414 Governors Dr SW, Huntsville, AL 35805

Virtual Paper Review - AI Agents, Graphs, and Tabletop Worlds
2026-06-17 18:00 - 20:00 | AL
Google Meet – https://meet.google.com/yie-fbgk-juj

What would it take for an AI to be a useful assistant for a large tabletop campaign simulation? Not just a chatbot that vaguely remembers lore, but a system that knows which NPCs know which secrets, which factions are connected, which rumors came from which source pages, and which claims can actually be checked. That is our entry point for this month’s Virtual Paper Review. We will use a live tabletop campaign-world demo to introduce graph databases, ontologies, and evidence graphs, then connect those ideas to three recent papers on graph-backed AI agents.
Part I – Primer & Foundations

What graph databases are and why connected data matters
What an ontology is and why it is more than a schema diagram
How graph retrieval differs from normal RAG over text chunks
How evidence paths let an agent show its work instead of just citing something

Part II – Papers & Demo

SCOUT-RAG: agents walking graph neighborhoods for retrieval
Why Neighborhoods Matter: the difference between what an agent visited and what it cited
SHARP: checking graph claims against schema and source-grounded evidence
Live demo: Tabletop World Simulation

Democratizing Health Data: Digital Signal Processing of PPG Signal
2026-06-24 18:00 - 19:30 | Deloitte, 3414 Governors Dr SW STE 220, Huntsville, AL, 35805
A deep dive into the engineering and life-saving potential of open-source Photoplethysmography (PPG) technology. This presentation explores how custom edge devices and applied machine learning can decode cardiovascular signals to prevent driver impairment, track pilot perfusion, and ultimately democratize health data for patients.
