Modelling tree structures in RDBMS tables and the SQL to query them.

Computing in the bad-old-days of dial-up.

What are the IT needs of a small not-for-profit foundation looking to create an informational web site for foundation members/subscribers?

How often does one need to collect data samples to monitor the performance of an application.

Demonstrating the difference between 'programming' and 'coding' by deriving an algorithm to sort a list of numbers.

Where can an entrepreneur go in Columbus to find technical resources and/or investors.

What additional tools and skills are needed to go from an HTML/CSS/JS prototype to a full-featured application.

How to refactor large methods into several smaller methods in a Rails Model.

What kinds of web site analytics are available for word press sites?

What are some good online resources for a single-founder software startup dealing with marketing and launching software products?

Come and add your voice and language to the conversation.

**Hallucination in the Wild: A Field Guide for LLM Users**
Spotting, Understanding, and Reducing AI Mistakes

Large Language Models like ChatGPT are incredibly good at sounding smart—even when they’re completely wrong. This tendency to produce false or misleading information, often called hallucination, is one of the most persistent challenges in modern AI.

In this talk, [Ashley Lewis](https://linguistics.osu.edu/people/lewis.2799) from OSU Linguistics will explain why these models hallucinate, what makes it difficult for them to recognize uncertainty, and why existing solutions often fall short. She’ll also share insights from her research on building smaller, more efficient models that make fewer mistakes, how we can evaluate their trustworthiness more effectively, and what practical strategies—like better prompting—can reduce hallucinations in the tools we use today.

Whether you use LLMs every day or just wonder how they work, this talk offers a behind-the-scenes look at one of AI’s most pressing problems.

All CBUSDAW events are free thanks to our 2025 Sponsors: Clarivoy, Conductrics, What Box Consulting Group, and Piwik PRO.
