LLM Powerplay: A Comparative Study of Large Language Models for UML Class Diagram GenerationPolitecnico di Milano
Generation of UML Models from Informal Descriptions through Language Model Models (LLMs).
2
Hallucination Detection and Mitigation in LLMs for HealthcarePolitecnico di Milano
"Hallucination Detection and Mitigation in LLMs for Healthcare," focuses on addressing the problem of hallucinations—instances where large language models (LLMs) generate false or misleading medical information. Given the critical nature of healthcare applications, ensuring that AI-generated responses are accurate, reliable, and evidence-based is essential.

GKosh Amity University Noida
GKosh: A companion similar to an active agent, that helps the reader to organize and retrieve the highlighted text, bookmarked page and credentials of the content source in the cloud across heterogeneous platforms, gadgets and applications
8
AtarashiAmity University Noida
Currently, Atarashi has 4 active agents types that use 9 different types of algorithms to find the similarity between license statements. According to the evaluation of all the agents and their types, it can be seen that there is a need for improvement in the speed as well as the accuracy of the agents. I’ll be implementing the basics of Lucene and percolate search on the top of different agents to increase the speed of the agent without much tweaking with their original algorithm.

A python library for code comment extraction is needed to be created with various additional features for providing support to Atarashi as well as FOSSology. This will be packaged & published to PyPI for easy installation and usage.

For any Machine Learning/Deep Learning model to be implemented we need a dataset of SPDX open-source licenses. There isn’t any dataset available online so we need to create our own dataset as per the requirements.
