SUMMARY:VibeCraft Power Hour
DESCRIPTION:VibeCraft is a recurring\, collaborative working session where ideas turn into experiments and experiments turn into real builds. Each session is shaped by the group. We review what is emerging\, explore new directions\, and decide together what is worth building next. \nThis is not a presentation or a passive meetup. It is an active\, hands-on environment where members contribute ideas\, react to each other’s work\, and influence the direction of future sessions. Expect open discussion\, live demos\, shared whiteboards\, and practical exploration. \nSessions may include live walkthroughs of tools\, automations\, and AI agents\, discussions around product and company design\, rapid demos from members\, and breakdowns of different approaches to building with modern AI systems. Topics evolve over time\, but the focus remains the same: learning by doing\, building in public\, and exploring a high-tech\, high-touch future grounded in curiosity\, collaboration\, and thoughtful design. \nCome ready to participate\, share what you are building\, and help shape what we explore next as a VibeCraft community.

SUMMARY:April 8 - Getting Started with FiftyOne
DESCRIPTION:This workshop provides a technical foundation for managing large scale computer vision datasets. You will learn to curate\, visualize\, and evaluate models using the open source FiftyOne app. \nDate\, Time and Location \nApr 8\, 2026\n10 AM PST – 11 AM Pacific\nOnline. Register for the Zoom! \nThe session covers data ingestion\, embedding visualization\, and model failure analysis. You will build workflows to identify dataset bias\, find annotation errors\, and select informative samples for training. Attendees leave with a framework for data centric AI for research and production pipelines\, prioritizing data quality over pure model iteration. \nWhat you’ll learn \n\nStructure unstructured data. Map data and metadata into a queryable schema for images\, videos\, and point clouds.\nQuery datasets with the FiftyOne SDK. Create complex views based on model predictions\, labels\, and custom tags. Use the FiftyOne to filter data based on logical conditions and confidence scores.\nVisualize high dimensional embeddings. Project features into lower dimensions to find clusters of similar samples. Identify data gaps and outliers using FiftyOne Brain.\nAutomate data curation. Implement algorithmic measures to select diverse subsets for training. Reduce labeling costs by prioritizing high entropy samples.\nDebug model performance. Run evaluation routines to generate confusion matrices and precision recall curves. Visualize false positives and false negatives directly in the App to understand model failures.\nCustomize FiftyOne. Build custom dashboards and interactive panels. Create specialized views for domain specific tasks.\n\nPrerequisites: \n\nWorking knowledge of Python and machine learning and/or computer vision fundamentals.\nAll attendees will get access to the tutorials and code examples used in the workshop.

SUMMARY:Coworking with some San Diego Digital Designers
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes you just want to be surrounded by percolating design minds. At this gathering\, bring your laptop and work on whatever’s on your plate that day — now surrounded by like minds. \nThis is your chance to see Figma on the next screen over. To chat through a perplexing interaction design. To focus\, inspired\, on your portfolio. \nAs with all SDDD events\, this is a casual\, personal\, and quiet-ish meeting of designers. Introvert- and extrovert-friendly. Coworking\, collaboration\, and conversation\, not networking. \nWe’ve got wifi and power (duh)\, I’ll brew up a fresh batch of coffee\, and we’ve got some tasty teas. What else do you need? (No\, srsly\, what else do you need?) \nPriority will be given to SDDD members (joining is easy — assuming you are a digital designer in San Diego — and free at sddd.org). \nHit up the chat here in Meetup — or #events in Slack — with any questions. \nLimited capacity\, so please RSVP accurately! 🙂 \nSee you there!

SUMMARY:TILOS-HDSI Seminar: Engineering Interpretable and Faithful AI Systems
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision Language Models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable performance across a wide range of tasks. However\, their growing deployment has exposed fundamental limitations in faithfulness\, safety\, and transparency. In this talk\, I will present a unified perspective on addressing these challenges through principled model interventions and interpretable decision-making frameworks. I first introduce Information Pursuit (IP)\, an interpretable-by-design prediction framework that replaces opaque reasoning with a sequence of informative\, user-interpretable queries\, yielding concise explanations alongside accurate predictions. I then present Parsimonious Concept Engineering (PaCE)\, an approach that improves faithfulness and alignment by selectively removing undesirable internal activations\, mitigating hallucinations and biased language while preserving linguistic competence. Results across text\, vision\, and medical tasks illustrate how these ideas advance transparency without sacrificing performance. Together\, these contributions point toward a broader direction for building AI systems that are powerful\, faithful\, and aligned with human values. \nRené Vidal is the Penn Integrates Knowledge and Rachleff University Professor of Electrical and Systems Engineering and Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania\, where he directs the Center for Innovation in Data Engineering and Science (IDEAS) and serves as Co-Chair of Penn AI. He is also an Amazon Scholar\, Affiliated Chief Scientist at NORCE\, and former Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence. Professor Vidal’s research advances the mathematical foundations of deep learning and trustworthy AI\, with broad impact across computer vision and biomedical data science. His contributions have been recognized with major honors\, including the IEEE Edward J. McCluskey Technical Achievement Award\, the D’Alembert Faculty Award\, the J.K. Aggarwal Prize\, the ONR Young Investigator Award\, the NSF CAREER Award\, and best paper awards in machine learning\, computer vision\, signal processing\, control\, and medical robotics. He is a Fellow of ACM\, AIMBE\, IEEE\, and IAPR\, and a Sloan Fellow. \nZoom: https://bit.ly/TILOS-Seminars

SUMMARY:Let's Cowork in PB!
DESCRIPTION:Tired of working from your actual home\, and want a change of scenery? New to San Diego and want to meet new people?
