Software development plays a crucial role in driving innovation and efficiency across modern societies. To meet the demands of this dynamic field, there is a growing need for an effective software development assistant. However, existing large language models represented by ChatGPT suffer from limited accessibility, including training data and model weights. Although other large open-source models like LLaMA have shown promise, they still struggle with understanding human intent. In this paper, we present SoTaNa, an open-source software development assistant. SoTaNa utilizes ChatGPT to generate high-quality instruction-based data for the domain of software engineering and employs a parameter-efficient fine-tuning approach to enhance the open-source foundation model, LLaMA. We evaluate the effectiveness of our{} in answering Stack Overflow questions and demonstrate its capabilities. Additionally, we discuss its capabilities in code summarization and generation, as well as the impact of varying the volume of generated data on model performance. Notably, SoTaNa can run on a single GPU, making it accessible to a broader range of researchers. Our code, model weights, and data are public at url{https://github.com/DeepSoftwareAnalytics/SoTaNa}. 2023: Ensheng Shi, Fengji Zhang, Yanlin Wang, B.

In this episode Professor Barry Carpenter interviews Beverley Cockbill, who has extensive experience of children with Complex Needs through her research and practice, especially in relation to the Engagement Model. Bev describes how engagement is key to effective teaching and learning for this group of pupils, and how it provides a lens through which the teacher can guide the child to positive learning outcomes. Part of Bev's role is working with disengaged, out of school pupils, and how she takes the principles expressed in the Recovery Curriculum to re-engage those children to reduce their stress and self-regulate their emotions. Using her wealth of experience in mental health she particularly articulates how Happiness Boxes (see fact sheet downloadable below) can be used in a versatile way in a variety of settings by families, as well as teachers, to support vulnerable young people. Bev picks out the Transparent Curriculum from the 5 Levers, for the opportunity it offers to co-construct the curriculum with the child and its family, as the child begins to reconnect with school and begin the process of recovery. Space, also one of the 5 Levers: she also sees as crucial to the child with Autism or behavioural difficulties, as they explore again their self-concept and emotional regulation in their learning setting. ‘Happiness Boxes' On the episode webpage and the Recovery Curriculum webpage, you can download a guide on how to make a Happiness Box, with a sound rationale for doing so. Written by Barry Carpenter and Bev Cockbill this step by step guide is perfect for welcoming children and young people back to school, or for home learning. In either contexts it enables the child to build their emotional resilience, and self regulate their emotional well being. ‘Social Stories' On the episode webpage and the Recovery Curriculum webpage is an example of some of the Social Stories that Bev refers to in this episode. Inquiring Minds article (referred to in this episode) On the episode webpage and the Recovery Curriculum webpage is a copy of the Inquiring Minds article that Bev refers to in this episode.

A USF Alumnus and Development Assistant at San Francisco’s nonprofit organization, No Bully, Génesis Barraza delves into the Kindness Revolution which they describe as a call for social change that has to be created through collaboration, compassion and equity. They share their own experience of childhood bullying in Miami, Florida, and reflect on the impact of afterschool programs which introduced them to nonprofit organizations and the power of community outreach. They elaborate on how both hard work and treating people with compassion— values first instilled by their mother, then later reinforced by educators and other community leaders— have informed their collegiate accomplishments and have led up to the current role they now fill at No Bully. Gen details the nonprofit organization’s mission, which is to help eradicate bullying and in a non punitive approach that involves problem-solving with students (who are either the target or the source of bullying) alongside their teachers, parents, guardians, and other adult leaders in order to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline. No Bully has a 90% success rate in elimination of bullying, while also addressing cyber bullying, in the 326 schools and over 200,000 students they’ve served. Gen emphasizes that bullying is an epidemic, about one in three students are targets of bullying, and that there is an urgent need for nonprofits like No Bully and community members alike to step in and be a part of the Kindness Revolution now. Connect with Gen on how to get involved with No Bully, and to learn more about cyber bully prevention, visit Power Of Zero.

In the Wizard of Oz, the Good Witch Glinda tells Dorothy and Toto, that this is land of great beauty, but, can also be dark and terrible. That is true of life and it can especially be true for a trauma survivor. Toto was the hero in the Wizard story, and you may be surprised at how “man’s best friend” takes on a special meaning with trauma survivors. Trauma comes in many forms, including cases of prolonged verbal and sexual abuse, rape, loss of a loved one, and of course, the one that we are most familiar with, trauma survivors from war and combat missions.   This is our topic for today, and are you are really in for a treat, because you are going to meet an organization that is in the forefront of the effort to assist returning veterans and equip them with better coping skills, you are going to meet Aaron Mixell, a 22 year veteran of the U.S. Army, and you are going to meet Aaron’s very own Toto, Chief. As a program teaser, let me say having met and heard Aaron speak on his experience and the traumas he experienced, you will never hear anyone more articulate on the causes, effects and everything else associated with PTSD. You will leave this program more informed and educated on this topic than ever. Aaron says that Chief saved his life. He will expand on that during today’s session. The organization that trained Chief is Patriot Paws. Sharon Satterwhite, Director of Development and Sarah Mathers, Development Assistant are with us today. Welcome Aaron, Sharon and Sarah.   In this episode you will learn: --About the mission of Patriot Paws and how Chief and so many other graduates of your program here are integral to helping deal with this national crisis of PTSD. --How the puppies come in to your program at 6 weeks old and then go through all the way to a formal graduation ceremony and assignment to a partner. --About the “planes, trains and automobiles” concept as it relates to their training and graduation --About career changes for those that for whatever reason don’t graduate?   For example, the Dallas D.A. case, where the dog loved children and found a new career? --That dogs have teenage years, just like kids do, with all the attendant behavioral issues that go with that?     --Aaron served 18 deployments over his 22 years in the U.S. Army. This includes the Gulf War in the early ‘90s plus Iraq and Afghanistan and a number of others. In addition to his military career, Aaron Mixell, USA, Sgt. First Class, Ret., served 20 years of active duty as a U.S. Army Ranger, spending over 15 years deployed to various locations overseas.  While deployed to Iraq, Aaron was injured in an IED blast.  He suffered multiple injuries during this and other combat related incidents, including Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).  Thanks in large part to Chief’s presence in his life, Aaron’s mobility and stability is much improved as is his PTSD.  After a long, difficult recovery, Aaron now works with the Patriot PAWS staff as a Veteran Coordinator and is enjoying life with his wonderful wife and six children.   From Aaron you will learn:  --You often don’t know that you have PTSD, until you come home, and that it doesn’t necessarily come from just one incident --There are four types: caused by an incident, accumulates over time, combat isolation, entitled generation. --About the impact of the isolation syndrome: going to a remote, desolate, isolated place half-way around the world w/o the social network that one was accustomed to. --Technology and going from instant gratification with the internet, a PDA and social media apps to poor technology and the impact of then dealing with “slo-mo” as it is described. --How Chief, yoga and meditation saved Aaron’s life and continue to nurture him   http://www.patriotpaws.org/   Don’t forget to subscribe to the show!
