[Sysreading] Stack@CS Group Meeting this Week & Announcement about Stack@CS Research Showcase
Hi all, We will have our next Stack@CShttps://sites.google.com/vt.edu/stackcs-fall24/home reading group meeting this Wednesday (12/11). In this meeting, Wenxin Jiang (Ph.D. Candidate, Purdue University) will be presenting his work titled "Trustworthy Reuse in Open-Source AI Model Ecosystems: How Far are We?". Location: 220 Gilbert Street (4001) Zoom: https://virginiatech.zoom.us/my/dcbrown Time: 10 am - 11 am Details of the talk and a short bio of our guest speaker are given below - Title: Trustworthy Reuse in Open-Source AI Model Ecosystems: How Far are We? Bio: Wenxin Jiang is a Ph.D. candidate in the Elmore Family School of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Purdue University, under the supervision of Dr. James C. Davis. His research primarily focuses on Software Engineering for AI, with an emphasis on open-source pre-trained AI models. His work adapts methods from studies on traditional software package registries (e.g., NPM, PyPI) to open-source pre-trained AI model (PTM) supply chain. He is also interested in machine learning systems, software supply chain security, and trustworthy/responsible AI. His work has been published at ICSE, FSE, ASE, ISSTA, EMSE, ESEM, MSR, and SCORED. Abstract: Deep neural networks are increasingly integrated into software systems, yet developing these networks from scratch has become challenging as state-of-the-art architectures grow in complexity. Like traditional software engineers, deep learning practitioners are now reusing pre-trained models (PTMs) for downstream tasks and environments. However, unlike traditional software, where reuse practices and challenges have been well-studied, the knowledge foundation for PTM ecosystems remains underdeveloped. My findings indicate that reusing pre-trained models is often complex and carries potential risks, as issues within open-source AI models can propagate downstream, potentially impacting dependent applications. I will conclude by discussing ongoing work aimed at strengthening various aspects of the PTM supply chain, with a focus on enhancing trustworthiness, reusability, and security. Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow. Hopefully it will be an interesting and interactive session.

Stack@CS Research Showcase The Stack@CS Center for Systems Research is hosting a Fall 2024 research showcase to highlight all of the research and accomplishments from students this year. The showcase will be Wednesday, 12/18, at 10am in Gilbert 4001. Students are invited to present their work as a lightning talk (5 min presentation) or poster, and contributions should describe innovative and relevant research. Please complete the formhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSetIvTuyFQ4gYn5BcPTlwXEcqmRNMk1OS8m... if you are interested in presenting for this event and contact Dr. @Brown, Chrismailto:dcbrown@vt.edu (dcbrown@vt.edu) if you have additional questions.
