Taming Open Code LLMs, Hacking My Way Through NUS & DuckDB: A New Analytical DB | Friday Hacks

1) Taming open code LLMs for SQL generation and bug fixing 🧠
Want to learn how you can fine-tune LLMs to fix bugs or turn natural language text into SQL queries using PEFT and QLoRA? Join this hands-on session with Dr Sharma! Attendees will need a HuggingFace account.
Dr Asankhaya Sharma is the Co-Founder at Patched.codes, a deep-tech startup with the vision to automatically fix every software vulnerability.
2) Hacking My Way Through NUS: Prototyping to Real-World Usage 💻
Discover Raivat's experiences (from NUS class attendance bots to COVID food delivery systems), behind-the-scenes stories, and transitioning from prototypes to real-world applications, even earning academic credit for 'failed' hacks.
Raivat is a Founding Engineer building Large Language Models (LLM) in the education space.
3) DuckDB: A new kind of analytical database system 🦆
Learn more about the internals of DuckDB, a versatile, open-source analytical database system. This talk will go through key design decisions behind DuckDB, and its innovative extensions to the SQL language.
Gábor Szárnyas is Developer Relations Advocate at DuckDB Labs. He spent 3 years as a post-doctoral researcher at CWI in Amsterdam, working on graph data management techniques.
