Leveraging Generative AI for Enhancing Domain-Driven Software Design

Published in Proceedings of the Upper-Rhine Artificial Intelligence Symposium (URAI 2024), 2024

Demonstrates that a 4-bit quantized Code Llama fine-tuned with LoRA on a consumer GPU can generate syntactically correct domain-specific JSON objects for Domain-Driven Design, partially automating metamodel creation.

A Convexity-Dependent Two-Phase Training Algorithm for Deep Neural Networks

Published in Proceedings of the 17th International Joint Conference on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (IC3K KDIR 2025), 2025

Proposes a two-phase optimization algorithm that detects when the loss landscape transitions from non-convex to convex regions, switching from Adam to Conjugate Gradient to substantially improve convergence speed and accuracy.

Is More Data Worth the Cost? Dataset Scaling Laws in a Tiny Attention-Only Decoder

Published in IEEE SDS 2026 (Full Paper, Zürich) & ICLR 2026 Workshop on Data-FM (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), 2026

Shows that dataset scaling laws hold even at small scales, where training on only 30% of data achieves about 90% of full performance in a tiny attention-only decoder.
