Valentina Lenarduzzi Seminar

Last September 28th, Valentina Lenarduzzi post-doctoral researcher at LUT University visited our research group and presented the seminar Technical Debt and Software Quality for AI.

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is getting more and more popular, being adopted in a large number of applications and technologies we use on a daily basis. A large number of AI-enabled applications are produced by developers without proper training on software quality practices or processes, and in general, lack state-of-the-art software engineering processes.In this session, we provide an introduction on Software Quality for AI-based components, depicting the state of the art and the identified best practices and issues.

Short Bio: Valentina Lenarduzziis a postdoctoral researcher at LUT University (Finland). Her research activities are related to modern software development practices and methodologies, including data analysis in software engineering, software quality, software maintenance and evolution, focusing on Technical Debt as well as code and architectural smells. She got the Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2015 and was a postdoctoral researcher at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, (Italy), and at the Tampere University (Finland). Moreover, she was visiting researcher at the University of Kaiserslautern (TUK) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering IESE (Germany). She served as a program committee member of various international conferences (e.g., ICPC, ICSME, ESEM), and for various international journals (e.g., TSE, EMSE, JSS, IST) in the field of software engineering. She has been program co-chair of OSS 2021 and TechDebt 2022. She was also one of the organizer of the last edition of MaLTeSQuE workshop (2022) collocated with ESEC/FSE. Dr. Lenarduzzi is recognized by the Journal of Systems and Software (JSS) as one of the most active SE researcher in top-quality journals in the period 2013 to 2020.
