Saturday, December 27, 2025: PTM Naming: Why “What’s in a Name” Actually Matters for AI Reuse
I’m thrilled to share some recent work led by Wenxin Jiang, a PhD student at Purdue University. Wenxin is supervised by James C. Davis, and I have had the pleasure of serving as a key external supervisor and PhD committee member on this project as part of my ongoing collaboration with Dr. Davis. This research was recently accepted for publication in Journal of Empirical Software Engineering and it tackles a problem that anyone working in AI has likely grumbled about: how we name our models.
