SUMMARY:Vibe Coding: Sequencing Your Build
DESCRIPTION:You have an idea and you know how to prompt an AI coding tool to build things. But where do you start? If you try to build everything at once\, you end up with a tangled mess that breaks every time you change something. If you start with the wrong piece\, you paint yourself into a corner three features from now. \nThis session teaches you how to decompose your product idea into buildable pieces and sequence them in the right order. You will learn to identify the core of your product\, the one thing it has to do before anything else matters\, and build outward from there. \nBy the end of two hours\, you will have a sequenced build plan for your own project that you can execute one step at a time. \n  \nWhat You Will Learn \n•      How to break down a product idea into individual features and components without overcomplicating it. \n•      Which piece to build first. How to identify the core of your product and why starting there saves you from rebuilding later. \n•      Dependency mapping. How to figure out which pieces depend on other pieces so you build in the right order. \n•      Writing a build plan. How to turn your decomposition into a step-by-step plan you can hand to an AI coding tool one prompt at a time. \n•      Scoping for reality. How to draw the line between “must have for v1” and “nice to have for later” so you actually ship something. \n  \nWhat You Will Walk Away With \n•      A written build plan for your project\, broken into sequenced steps. \n•      A clear understanding of what to build first and why. \n•      A framework for decomposing any future feature or product. \n  \nPrerequisites \nThis session assumes you have some experience building with AI coding tools. You will get the most out of it if: \n•      You have attended the intro vibe coding workshop or have basic experience prompting an AI coding tool. \n•      You have a project idea in mind\, even a rough one. \n  \nWhat to Bring \n•      A laptop with a browser (all tools we use are web-based) \n•      A project you are working on or want to start \n•      An idea for what you want to build (a rough description is fine) \n  \nPart of the From Prototype to Product Series \nThis is Session 1 of 10 in the Vibe Coding: From Prototype to Product workshop series. Each session stands alone\, but the full series is designed as a progression from first build to finished product. \nFull series ticket holders get access to all 10 sessions\, weekly lab sessions for live troubleshooting\, recordings of every session\, and Founder Guide community access. Full series: $480 (10 sessions for the price of 8). Visit the series page for details. \nAlready have a series ticket? Enter your promo code at checkout to register for free. \nAbout the Facilitator \nTodd Bashor is the founder of Founder Guide and has 25 years of experience building and scaling software products at ServiceNow\, FICO\, and Intuit. He co-founded NewRocket in 2017 and led it through hypergrowth to acquisition in 2022. He now works with early-stage founders on product validation\, traction\, and go-to-market strategy. \nTodd has been coding with AI for over two years and has mentored multiple non-technical founders through building their first MVPs with vibe coding tools.

SUMMARY:How India Is Reimagining Government Through Digital Innovation
DESCRIPTION:How can digital systems improve access to public services\, health care\, education and financial inclusion at national scale? India offers a glimpse into this type of technological governance. The country’s Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) has become a globally significant model for how governments can use technology to deliver services more effectively\, efficiently and inclusively. \nIn this talk\, Manoj Ahuja will discuss how DPI is transforming agriculture through AgriStack and education through platforms like the Academic Bank of Credits and DIKSHA. Then\, Arti Ahuja will examine how DPI is reshaping health care through the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission and supporting informal sector workers through the e-Shram database\, linking citizens to public entitlements\, skill-building and employment opportunities. \nThis public lecture series is organized by the Peter F. Cowhey Center on Global Transformation and the 21st Century India Center at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy (GPS). \nIf you have any questions\, please contact GPS Events Coordinator April Hickman.

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:1 Million Cups

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? Come join us at our weekly coworking session. \nIt’s a pretty casual affair with new people every week\, some regulars\, and some just passing through. We take over a few tables at Second Nature in Pacific Beach and do a bit of work and a bit of getting to know each other. Come and go as you please\, but do remember to bring your laptop (charged as plugs are few). \nIt’s free to join\, but ideally grab some coffee or lunch & tip the servers. \nA note about RSVPs: \nThis group aims to help people meet in a small group. The max amount of people for this event is 12 people. We close the RSVP list on Mondays if there is a waitlist\, and if you can’t make it we do kindly ask that you change your status as soon as you know to give someone else a chance to attend. Those on the waitlist will receive a note on the day of the meetup letting them know if there is space or not. \nIf you sign up\, but do not attend\, you will be marked as a No Show. People with 5 No Shows will be removed from the group.

SUMMARY:Creative AI: Music\, Authorship\, and Algorithmic Culture
DESCRIPTION:Design@Large is a UC San Diego course powered by The Design Lab that is open to the public. \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Series\nArtificial intelligence is no longer confined to research labs or technical infrastructure—it is embedded in classrooms\, creative practice\, healthcare systems\, communication platforms\, and planetary-scale infrastructures. As AI systems move from experimental tools to everyday companions\, decision-makers\, and mediators of social life\, the question is no longer whether AI will shape our future\, but how—and by whom. \nAt the Design Lab\, we approach AI not simply as an algorithmic achievement\, but as a fundamentally human-centered design challenge. Intelligent systems must be technically robust\, yet responsive to lived experience; powerful at scale\, yet grounded in context; innovative\, yet attentive to equity and responsibility. Across seven sessions\, Design@Large in Spring 2026 brings together leading voices from research\, industry\, education\, law\, health\, and the arts to explore how AI is designed\, deployed\, governed\, and experienced in real-world settings. From generative AI in education and music to embodied intelligence in XR\, from disability justice and communication to sustainable computing and Indigenous data sovereignty\, and from personal AI companions to value-based care in health systems\, the series examines AI where it meets people\, institutions\, and infrastructures. \nRather than treating AI as a purely technical system\, we frame it as a site of negotiation among human values\, institutional incentives\, cultural norms\, and material conditions. Each session pairs scholars\, practitioners\, and industry leaders to interrogate how design decisions shape agency\, creativity\, trust\, access\, and care at scale. \nDesign@Large is open to the broader public and livestreamed online\, while also serving as a core seminar for over 100 undergraduate and graduate students at UC San Diego. Together\, we ask: What does it mean to design AI responsibly? How do we ensure that intelligent systems amplify human capability without reproducing harm? And how can design guide AI toward more just\, inclusive\, and sustainable futures?

SUMMARY:April 30 - Best of WACV 2026
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Best of WACV series\, your virtual pass to some of the groundbreaking research\, insights\, and innovations that defined this year’s conference. Live streaming from the authors to you \nDate\, Time and Location \nApr 30\, 2026\n9AM – 11AM Pacific\nOnline. Register for the Zoom! \nZero-Shot Coreset Selection via Iterative Subspace Sampling \nDeep learning’s reliance on massive datasets leads to significant costs in storage\, annotation\, and training. Although coreset selection aims to mitigate these costs by finding performant data subsets\, state-of-the-art methods typically require expensive ground-truth labels and dataset-specific training. To overcome these scalability issues\, ZCore introduces a zero-shot approach that functions without labels or prior training on candidate data. Instead\, ZCore uses foundation models to generate a zero-shot embedding space for unlabeled data\, then quantifies the relative importance of each example based on overall coverage and redundancy within the embedding distribution. On ImageNet\, ZCore outperforms previous label-based methods at a 90% prune rate while eliminating the need to annotate over one million images. \nAbout the Speaker \nBrent Griffin is a Principal Machine Learning Scientist at Voxel51 specializing in low-cost machine learning on unstructured data. Previously\, he was the Perception Lead at Agility Robotics and an assistant research scientist at the University of Michigan conducting research at the intersection of computer vision\, control\, and robot learning. He is lead author on publications in all of the top IEEE conferences for computer vision\, robotics\, and control\, and his work has been featured in Popular Science\, in IEEE Spectrum\, and on the Big Ten Network. \nENCORE: A Neural Collapse Perspective on Out of-Distribution Detection in Deep Neural Networks \nWe present ENCORE\, a post-hoc out-of-distribution (OOD) detection method grounded in the geometric properties of neural collapse in deep neural networks. By leveraging the observation that in-distribution features align with class means while OOD features tend to be misaligned or orthogonal\, ENCORE modifies inference through cosine-based scoring and adaptive feature scaling to enhance separation between known and unknown inputs. The method approximates neural collapse behavior at test time without requiring retraining\, enabling more reliable uncertainty estimation. It is lightweight\, memory-efficient\, and compatible with a wide range of architectures\, including convolutional networks and vision transformers. Extensive experiments on standard benchmarks demonstrate consistent improvements over existing OOD detection approaches in both near- and far-distribution shifts. \nAbout the Speaker \nA.Q.M. Sazzad Sayyed is a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northeastern University\, focusing on robust\, secure\, and efficient deep learning. His research centers on out-of-distribution detection\, uncertainty modeling\, and machine learning reliability for safety-critical and edge AI systems. \nSynthesizing Compositional Videos from Text Description \nExisting pre-trained text-to-video diffusion models can generate high-quality videos\, but often struggle with misalignment between the generated content and the input text\, particularly while composing scenes with multiple objects. To tackle this issue\, we propose a straightforward\, training-free approach for compositional video generation from text. We introduce Video-ASTAR for test-time aggregation and segregation of attention with a novel centroid loss to enhance alignment\, which enables the generation of multiple objects in the scene\, modeling the actions and interactions. \nAdditionally\, we extend our approach to the Multi-Action video generation setting\, where only the specified action should vary across a sequence of prompts. To ensure coherent action transitions\, we introduce a novel token-swapping and latent interpolation strategy. \nAbout the Speaker \nShanmuganathan Raman is a prominent academic and researcher in the fields of computer vision\, deep learning\, computational photography\, and computer graphics. He is a Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IIT Gandhinagar)\, where he holds a joint appointment in the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Engineering. He serves as the Head of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Gandhinagar. \nThe Perceptual Observatory Characterizing Robustness and Grounding in MLLMs \nMultimodal large language models can answer impressively complex visual questions\, but do they truly understand what they see? We present The Perceptual Observatory\, a framework for characterizing robustness and grounding in MLLMs beyond standard leaderboard scores. We evaluate models on interpretable tasks such as image matching\, grid pointing game\, and attribute localization across pixel-level corruptions and diffusion-based stylized illusions. Our analysis reveals that scaling the language model alone does not guarantee better perceptual grounding\, uncovering systematic weaknesses in robustness\, spatial invariance\, fairness\, and reasoning-based perception. The Perceptual Observatory offers a more principled way to study multimodal perception and provides actionable insights for building future MLLMs that are reliable and truly grounded in visual evidence. \nAbout the Speaker \nFenil Bardoliya is a Researcher at the Complex Data Reasoning & Analysis Lab (CORAL) at Arizona State University. His research revolves around Multimodal Model Evaluation and Benchmarking\, Machine Unlearning\, and Structured Reasoning.

This talk traces Israel’s economic transformation from the 1990s to today\, showing how it built a global center for high-tech innovation while facing numerous challenges. \nPresenter: Adi Shany is a Murray Galinson San Diego-Israel Initiative (MGSDII) visiting professor at UC San Diego in the Department of Economics and the Rady School of Management for Spring 2026. She is an economist at Tel Aviv University. Drawing on Israel’s rich data and unique institutional context\, her work generates insights into education\, healthcare\, and market behavior\, with implications that extend far beyond Israel. She earned her PhD in Economics from the Hebrew University. \nParking permits are required for in-person attendees. Please see the FAQ section for parking instructions.
