LLMs have become one of the most important technologies to emerge in recent years. Many of the most prominent LLM tools are closed source, which has led to great interest in developing open-source tools. Antonio Velasco Fernández is a Data Scientist and Jose Pablo Cabeza García is a Lead Data Engineer, both at Elastacloud. In The post LLM Community Development with Antonio Velasco Fernández and Jose Pablo Cabeza García appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

A deepfake is a synthetic media technique that uses deep learning to create or manipulate video, audio, or images to present something that didn’t actually occur. Deepfakes have gained attention in part due to their potential for misuse, such as creating forged videos for political manipulation or spreading misinformation. Ryan Ofman is a Lead Engineer The post Detecting Deepfakes with Ryan Ofman appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

All robust technology platforms require testing to ensure that features work as intended. In many cases, tests require data, but getting access to valid and high quality test data is a common challenge, especially when the technology runs on sensitive data. Realistically mimicking data that would normally contain sensitive financial or personal information is notThe post Tonic and Synthetic Data with Andrew Colombi and Adam Kamor appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Language and compiler design are fundamental aspects of computer science. High-level languages are how most developers interact with computers, so it’s hard to overstate the significance of compiler engineering or the aesthetics of language syntax. C# is a general-purpose high-level language that was created by Anders Hejlsberg at Microsoft in 2000, and was open-sourced in The post C# Compiler and Language Design at Microsoft with Jared Parsons appeared first on Software Engineering
