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:Value Creation Process + Pitch Session
DESCRIPTION:February: The Value Creation Process — Designing the Engine of Your Bright Business\nMove beyond “hero mode” and design a repeatable\, profitable\, and calm delivery system.\nMany businesses fail not because they lack a great product\, but because they lack a designed system to deliver it. They operate in a state of “constant noise”—bottlenecks\, pricing uncertainty\, and resource fragility. This is the “Monkey Mind” of business: unsettled\, uncontrollable\, and reactive. \nIn February\, we transition from the “Validated Solution” into the Value Creation Process\, a core component of the Bright Business Operating System (BBOS). This is where we turn a validated idea into a high-performance engine. We stop guessing and start mapping the mechanics of value through three essential matrices.\nThe Three Pillars of Value Creation \nUsing the 2×2 Human-Centered Matrix\, we will brainstorm and redesign the three critical areas that move your business from a “Current State” of stress to a “Future State” of scalable impact: \n1. The Operations Flow Matrix (Efficiency & Quality) \n• The “How”: How do we create value that solves a pain prospects are willing to pay for?\n• The Goal: Map your Value Creation System to eliminate bottlenecks and ensure every touchpoint is intuitive and delightful. We move from “Hero Mode” (manual effort) to “System Mode” (repeatable excellence). \n2. The Pricing Matrix (Monetization Strategy)\n• The “Value”: How do we price the transformation we provide?\n• The Goal: Align your price with the depth of the problem you solve. We will explore monetization strategies that reflect the true worth of your solution\, ensuring profitability that fuels your purpose rather than draining your resources. \n3. The Resources Matrix (Human\, Financial & IP)\n• The “What”: What fuel does your engine require?\n• The Goal: Identify the human talent\, financial capital\, and intellectual property (IP) needed to sustain growth. We map these resources to ensure your business is resilient\, not fragile. \nWhy This Matters: The Science of Alignment\nResearch by McKinsey indicates that organizations that translate strategy into clear operational metrics and accountability structures are significantly more likely to sustain long-term performance. Furthermore\, Deloitte reports that purpose-driven companies see higher market share gains and grow three times faster on average than their competitors. \nYour Transformation\nThis workshop is about Self-Actualization for your business. By designing these matrices\, you fulfill the foundational needs of safety and reliability\, allowing you to ascend to a state of “Being More.”\nJoin us to transition your business from a source of stress into a calm\, balanced instrument of alignment and profit. Stop chasing the “rat race” and start leading your engine. \n⚡ Bright Business 555 Pitch™ \nFive Slides. Five Minutes. Five Voices. We feature five presenters delivering their problem\, solution\, proof\, and call-to-action. It’s fast-paced\, high-value\, and full of opportunities for leads\, partnerships\, and fresh ideas. \n🚀 Why Join Bright Business Club? \nJoining means you’re not just attending events—you’re joining a community of leaders. We provide the structure\, environment\, and connections that help real businesses grow through actionable frameworks and real collaborations. \n✅ Action Steps \n1. Register for the event.\n2. Apply to pitch in the Bright Business 555 Pitch™ (limited to 5 presenters).\n3. Invite your network—be intentional and expand our community together. \nDisclaimers\nBright Business is not a party to\, does not broker\, or endorse any transaction among participants. You are solely responsible for due diligence and negotiations. Bright Business does not guarantee income\, ROI\, or business success.

SUMMARY:2026 VTS Tech Talk: Scalable Data Exchange Between Autonomous Vehicle Fleets and Cloud Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Autonomous vehicle fleets generate massive volumes of sensor and operational data that must be reliably transferred to cloud infrastructure to support development\, validation\, and production operations. Designing scalable data exchange mechanisms is challenging due to the large number of vehicles involved\, changing network conditions\, and different requirements on data volume\, latency\, and reliability. \nThis talk presents a system-level view of data exchange between autonomous vehicle fleets and cloud infrastructure. It explains how different data transfer approaches such as physical media\, high-speed wired connections\, and cellular networks are used together to support large-scale fleet operations. The talk also describes how data handling can be adapted per vehicle based on its role and operating mode\, enabling large-volume data uploads\, timely reporting of safety-critical events\, and continuous fleet health monitoring within a unified system. Key challenges related to reliability\, security\, and scaling are discussed\, along with practical lessons learned from operating real-world autonomous driving systems.

SUMMARY:Optimization for ML and AI Seminar: Extended Convex Lifting for Policy Optimization in Control
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Direct policy search has achieved great empirical success in reinforcement learning. Many recent studies have revisited its theoretical foundation for continuous control\, which reveals elegant nonconvex geometry in various benchmark problems. In this talk\, we introduce an Extended Convex Lifting (ECL) framework\, which reveals hidden convexity in classical optimal and robust control problems from a modern optimization perspective. Our ECL offers a bridge between nonconvex policy optimization and convex reformulations. Despite non-convexity and non-smoothness\, the existence of an ECL not only reveals that minimizing the original function is equivalent to a convex problem\, but also certifies a class of first-order non-degenerate stationary points to be globally optimal. This ECL framework encompasses many benchmark control problems\, including LQR\, LQG\, state-feedback\, and output-feedback H-infinity robust control. We believe that the ECL framework may be of independent interest for analyzing nonconvex problems beyond control. \n\nYang Zheng is an Assistant Professor in the ECE Department at UC San Diego. His research focuses on control theory\, convex and nonconvex optimization\, and their applications to autonomous vehicles and traffic systems. He received his DPhil (Ph.D.) in Engineering Science from the University of Oxford in 2019\, and his B.E. and M.S. degrees from Tsinghua University in 2013 and 2015\, respectively. His work has been recognized with several awards\, including the 2019 European Ph.D. Award on Control for Complex and Heterogeneous Systems\, the 2022 Best Paper Award from IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems\, the 2023 Best Graduate Teacher Award from UC San Diego’s ECE Department\, the 2024 NSF CAREER Award\, and the 2025 Donald P. Eckman Award from the American Automatic Control Council. \nZoom: https://bit.ly/Opt-AI-ML
