In this talk\, Tin will share perspectives from his work at Porsche AG on applying modern AI methods across the autonomous driving development proc ess\, from making sense of large-scale driving data to understanding and e valuating how AI-based systems behave on the road. He'll discuss lessons l earned from real-world development\, where today's approaches shine\, and where hard problems remain for the ADAS and AV community.\n\n*About the Sp eaker*\n\n[Tin Stribor Sohn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tin-stribor-sohn/ ) is a PhD Student at Porsche AG and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in the area of Foundation Models for Scenario Understanding and Decision Maki ng in Autonomous Robotics\, Tech Lead at Data Driven Engineering for Auton omous Driving\, Prior: Master in CS at University of Tuebingen with focus on Computer Vision and Deep Learning and co-founder of a software company for smart EV charging\n\n**Advancing ADAS and Autonomous Vehicle Developme nt with Multimodal Data**\n\nADAS and autonomous vehicle systems rely on i ncreasingly complex data from cameras\, video\, LiDAR\, radar\, and other sensor streams. In this session\, Murilo will introduce Voxel51 and explor e how the latest multimodal capabilities in FiftyOne help teams bring thes e data sources together to better understand their datasets and model beha vior. He’ll discuss how unified workflows for visualization\, search\, c uration\, and evaluation can help ADAS and AV teams uncover challenging sc enarios\, investigate model failures\, and build safer\, more reliable aut onomous systems.\n\n*About the Speaker*\n\n[Murilo Gustineli](https://www. linkedin.com/in/murilo-gustineli/) is a Machine Learning Engineer at Voxel 51 working at the intersection of representation learning and computer vis ion.

I’d get up and go outside\, see a butterfly and connect that with some impulsive thought I’d had three months ago\, and suddenly a so ng I’d been working on would make sense. That’s how the whole album ca me to be.” The follow-up to 2018’s critically acclaimed Wide Awake \, If I Were a Butterfly finds Baxter co-producing alongside Tim O’Sullivan (Grace Potter\, The Head and the Heart) and Kai Welch (Molly Tuttle\, Sie rra Hull)\, slowly piecing together the album’s patchwork of lush psyche delia and Beatlesesque pop. In addition to working at Thunder Sound (the K entucky studio he called home for months on end)\, Baxter recorded in Cali fornia\, Texas\, Tennessee\, and Washington\, enlisting a remarkable lineu p of musicians: Shakey Graves\, Lennon Stella\, several members of Cage th e Elephant\, Zac Cockrell of Alabama Shakes\, Morning Teleportation’s Tr avis Goodwin\, and legendary Motown drummer Miss Bobbye Hall\, among many others. In an especially meaningful turn\, two of the album’s tracks fea ture the elegant pedal steel work of his father\, Bucky Baxter (a musician who performed with Bob Dylan and who passed away in May 2020). Thanks to the extraordinary care and ingenuity behind its creation\, If I Were a But terfly arrives as a work of rarefied magic\, capable of stirring up immens e feeling while leaving the listener happily wonderstruck.

After debuting in Marc h 2019\, Brass Queens grew to be a fixture in the local music scene and wa s dubbed “the hardest working band in town” by their peers. The Queens gained a dedicated following through outdoor performances on the streets of Brooklyn and playing pop-up events in their community through the pande mic. Now\, a core value of the band is to play for as many audiences as po ssible to increase the visibility of female musicians.  \nThe band has de veloped a signature style that sits right at the intersection of the Big A pple and the Big Easy. Their sound is deeply inspired by\, and pays homage to\, the New Orleans brass band tradition while injecting the upbeat\, mu ltifaceted energy of their New York home into each performance. In Novembe r 2023\, the band released their first full-length album titled Black & Go ld\, which is an ode to the Brass Queen’s incredible early fanbase who s upported the band from the virtual performances and socially-distanced str eet corners during the COVID-19 pandemic\, to the crowded clubs and packed venues of today. Less than a year later\, Brass Queens released their sec ond full-length album and their first album of all-original music\, titled Hot Tub Sessions Vol. I. \nBrass Queens Website\n(Ticket Includes 5% City of Santa Cruz Admission Tax) LAST-MODIFIED:20260917T194211Z LOCATION:Kuumbwa Jazz Center\, 320 Cedar St.\, Santa Cruz\, 95060\, United States URL:https://www.kuumbwajazz.org/calendar/brass-queens/?utm_source=caldisco very&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=santa-cruz-ca X-SOURCE-NAME:Kuumbwa Jazz X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.kuumbwajazz.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Transgender & Non-Binary Peer Support Group (Virtual Group Hosted by TDC) DTSTART:20260924T023000Z DTEND:20260924T040000Z DTSTAMP:20260815T030908Z UID:diversity-center:1743e2d141c83ea16b63cc51@santa-cruz-events.local CATEGORIES:community DESCRIPTION:Support Group Name:    Trans and Nonbinary Peer Support Grou p (Virtual group Hosted by TDC) Date: Every Wednesday Time: 7:30-9:00 pm  Location: ZoomAges: 18+Cost: FREESupport Group description: This support and discussion group is for people 18+ who identify on the spectrum of tr ans/nonbinary/agender/genderfluid and more.

These principles go beyond statements and activ ely shape how we design\, test\, and deploy AI systems in real-world autom otive and enterprise settings. In this talk\, I will present how these pri nciples inspired our recent research on when reusing LoRA (Low-Rank Adapta tion) is effective. By combining theoretical analysis with synthetic data as a proxy for enterprise scenarios\, we uncovered the strengths and limit ations of modular AI components under constrained data access. Our finding s provide practical guidance on when reused LoRAs could deliver high-quali ty results.\n\n*About the Speaker*\n\n[Mei-Yen Chen](https://www.linkedin. com/in/mei-yen-chen-22937787) is a Senior Data Scientist at Mercedes-Benz Tech Innovation GmbH in Germany with 10 years of industry experience in AI and data solutions. She leads early-stage AI projects across business fun ctions and collaborates with research institutions on machine learning and responsible AI.\n\n**Region Tokens as the Visual Primitive: From Recognit ion to World Modeling**\n\nPatch-based tokenization has become the default interface between vision encoders and downstream models\, yet patches car ry no semantic structure and scale poorly with resolution and temporal ext ent. This talk presents a research program centered on replacing patch tok ens with region-level representations — semantically dense tokens ground ed in visual entities rather than arbitrary grid crops.\n\nI will describe RELOCATE\, REN\, and T-REN\, a progression of methods that produce region tokens via pooling\, train them with region-level objectives\, and extend them to video with temporal coherence. I will then present ongoing work i ntegrating region tokens into VLMs to directly expand visual context capac ity\, and preliminary results on future region trajectory prediction as a foundation for world modeling.\n\nThe broader thesis is that region-level tokens are a more natural unit of visual computation than patches\, and th eir advantage compounds as task complexity\, resolution\, and temporal hor izon increase.\n\n*About the Speaker*\n\n[Savya Khosla](https://www.linked in.com/in/savyakhosla/) is a second-year Ph.D. student at the University o f Illinois Urbana-Champaign\, advised by Prof. Derek Hoiem and Prof. Alex Schwing.\n\n**Leveraging Text-To-Image Diffusion Models for Consistent Set -to-Set Generation**\n\nImage collections are humans' primary way of captu ring the world\, yet advances in generative editing remain largely inappli cable to this modality. We address this gap by introducing Match-and-Fuse - a zero-shot\, training-free method for consistent set-to-set generation from image collections that share a common visual element but differ in vi ewpoint\, capture time\, and surrounding content.\nOur key idea is a unifi ed graph-based framework that combines dense correspondences with an emerg ent prior in text-to-image diffusion models to generate coherent canvases. We achieve state-of-the-art consistency and visual quality\, and unlock n ew creative capabilities for content generation.\n\n*About the Speaker*\n\ n[Kate Feingold](https://www.linkedin.com/in/katefeingold/) is a PhD stude nt in Computer Vision at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Her research s its at the intersection of generative models\, 3D/4D perception\, and mult imodal learning\, focusing on problems where vision meets other modalities or paradigms in creative tasks.\n\n**Yield Estimation of a Coffee in a de nse environment**\n\nThis presentation provides a detailed workflow relate d to coffee yield estimation in a dense environment. With photos of pre-ha rvest coffee plants from a couple of coffee estates\, details related to p re-processing\, annotation to detect regions of interest (ROI)\, object de tection training and inferencing results with various Yolo models and fina lly segmentation with SAM2 and Yolo\\*-seg with training and inference res ults to determine the count of raw\, pre-mature\, mature and over-mature c offee berries and finally the yield of the entire estate. All this is base d on real world data captured on iPhone and android phones.\n\n*About the Speaker*\n\n[Raghu M.
