Software Engineering Students Shine at Zerve Hackathon

Students from the University of Limerick's Immersive Software Engineering program showcased their AI innovation at the Zerve Hackathon, where Team Dionysus emerged as the winner. The hackathon challenged participants to apply a Large Language Model (LLM) to a real or hypothetical use case, with enhancements via Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) or fine-tuning. The winning project, Dionysus, focused on creating audience-based media recommendations by integrating APIs for trending content and fine-tuning models to provide clear, trust-enhancing explanations. This project addressed common LLM limitations by using up-to-date data and ensuring data security through Zerve's platform. Team Dionysus impressed judges with their combination of technical skills and creativity, highlighting the students' potential to contribute to AI innovation.
