Webinar: Teaching Machines to See Any Object
We invite you to online lecture – Training Machines to Detect Any Object, led by RNDr. Andrej Lúčny, PhD. from the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics at Comenius University in Bratislava.
Modern artificial intelligence models today enable robots to recognize objects from predefined categories. However, the challenge remains the ability to perceive any object as an independent entity. A major breakthrough in this area came with visual transformers, which, since 2020, have made it possible to infer the position of an object as a byproduct of the image classification process.

Join us for the talk: Teaching Machines to See Any Object
Registered participants will receive an invitation to the MS Teams meeting a few days before the event.
The lecture will present:
- Využitie modelu DINO (2021), trénovaného bez anotácií, na navádzanie pozornosti humanoidného robota.
- Zlepšenie segmentácie obrazu prostredníctvom modelu CUTLER (2023) a metódy MaskCut, založenej na optimalizačnej úlohe NCut.
- New approaches to more efficient generation of fine masks using neural network learning.
The lecture is intended for researchers, professionals, students, and all those interested in artificial intelligence, computer vision, and robotics.
How Projects Addressing AI in Industry Are Created 2025 19 Nov - Umelá inteligencia sa stáva neoddeliteľnou súčasťou európskeho priemyslu aj výskumu a zásadne mení spôsob, akým vznikajú inovatívne projekty. Európska komisia preto prichádza s dvomi novými AI stratégiami – jednou zameranou na aplikovanie umelej inteligencie v kľúčových priemyselných sektoroch a druhou na vedecké využitie AI. Tieto iniciatívy prinášajú nové investičné a projektové príležitosti aj pre slovenské inštitúcie a firmy, najmä prostredníctvom programu Horizont Európa.
Online Lecture: HPC & AI – Competition or Collaboration? 7 Nov - On 26 November 2025 at 10:00, we are hosting a special online lecture dedicated to the rapidly evolving topic of the interplay between high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI). Our guest will be Erwin Laure, one of the most prominent figures in the European HPC ecosystem.
Success story: The Future of Soil Hidden in Data 5 Nov - High-Performance Computing (HPC) offers researchers the ability to process enormous volumes of data and uncover connections that would otherwise remain hidden. Today, it is no longer just a tool for technical disciplines – it is increasingly valuable in social and environmental research as well. A great example is a project that harnessed the power of HPC to gain deeper insight into the relationship between humans, soil, and the landscape.
