Course Practical introduction to natural language processing
Radi by sme vám dali do pozornosti najnovší kurz organizovaný Národným kompetenčným centrom pre HPC: “Praktický úvod do spracovania prirodzeného jazyka”. Témou bude účastníkov sprevádzať skúsený lektor Marek Šuppa who presented NLP (natural language processing) and its potential for businesses already at the beginning of April during an interesting online lecture - you can watch the recording here.
The course will take place online on June 30 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The number of places is limited to 15, while everyone will have a unique opportunity to work during the exercises with the accelerated module of the new Slovak supercomputer Devana. We therefore want to invite interested parties to register only in case of serious interest.
During this course, participants will focus on an introduction to natural language processing; text representation, word vectors, text classification and neural networks for natural language processing. Together with the lecturer, they will also discuss HuggingFace Transformers and their practical use. The course includes hands-on exercises. A prerequisite for the course is programming experience in the Python programming language. Experience with PyTorch or Tensorflow frameworks is an advantage.
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.
