The Dental Loop Chatbot was developed as a real-time, evidence-based guidance system for dental practitioners using a fine-tuned large language model (LLM) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). This paper outlines the development and preliminary...

Software testing is an important step in the software development life cycle to ensure the quality and security of software. Fuzzing is a security testing technique that finds vulnerabilities automatically without accessing the source code. We built...

Radial basis function networks are considered a machine learning tool that can be applied on a wide series of classification and regression problems proposed in various research topics of the modern world. However, in many cases, the initial training...

Mathematics of Arrays (MoA) concerns the formal description of algorithms working on arrays of data and their efficient and effective implementation in software and hardware. Since (multidimensional) arrays are one of the most important data structur...

Code reviews are an important part of the software development process, and there is a wide variety of approaches used to perform them. While it is generally agreed that code reviews are beneficial and result in higher-quality software, there has bee...

In this work, we studied the use of Quantum Machine Learning (QML) algorithms for binary classification and compared their performance with classical Machine Learning (ML) methods. QML merges principles of Quantum Computing (QC) and ML, offering impr...

This paper describes the Pawns programming language, currently under development, which uses several novel features to combine the functional and imperative programming paradigms. It supports pure functional programming (including algebraic data type...

Functional size measures are widely used for estimating software development effort. After the introduction of Function Points, a few “simplified” measures have been proposed, aiming to make measurement simpler and applicable when fully d...

Open Science describes the movement of making any research artifact available to the public, fostering sharing and collaboration. While sharing the source code is a popular Open Science practice in software research and development, there is still a...
