Soos Talks | Dheeraj Varghese

Why “Soos”? In Dutch, a soos is a social club or meeting place, an informal shortening of sociëteit (social society). Think of a youth club (jeugdsoos) or community hall where people gather for conversation, events, and shared activities. That spirit carries over here. Soos is the lab’s regular gathering point: a place to share work, hear what others are building, and stay connected. I organize the series, including speakers, sandwiches, and logistics, and have hosted over 20 talks during the past year across computer vision, multimodal learning, generative models, and more.

Below is a rolling archive of talks from the series — each card shows the title slide from that session.
