On Tuesday, March 25th, at 11:00 AM EDT, we welcomed Queen’s University Ph.D. student Adekunle Ajibode. Adekunle shared his research on “Towards Semantic Versioning of Open Pre-trained Language Model Releases on Hugging Face,” which was recently published in the EMSE journal: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2409.10472.

Immediately after, Aurel Ikama Honey, a Ph.D. student at Polytechnique Montréal, presented the preliminary results of his work on “A Comparative Study of LLM Architectures for Root Cause Analysis in End-to-End Test Logs.”

Each trainee spoke for 20 minutes, followed by a 10-minute Q&A session.

The webinar recording is available to view on our CREATE SE4AI YouTube channel.

The Spring Trainee Talks webinar was a huge success and we were pleased to have 27 participants join!

In this webinar, 2 PhD students from Polytechnique Montréal under Prof. Foutse Khomh delivered their research topics. Vahid Majdinasab spoke on his topic of Mutation Testing of Deep Reinforcement Learning Based on Real Faults, followed by Forough Majidi, who shared her Empirical Study on the Usage of Automated Machine Learning Tools. A 10 min Q&A session followed after each presentation.
