Webinar amália: Towards a Multimodal LLM for European Portuguese 27 Oct - Pridajte sa k nášmu inšpiratívnemu webináru o vývoji amália, portugalského veľkého jazykového modelu, ktorý prináša bohatstvo európskej portugalčiny do novej éry multimodálnej umelej inteligencie.
Na podujatí vystúpi prof. João Magalhães z NOVA LINCS, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, ktorý predstaví ciele, architektúru a pokrok tohto národného AI projektu. Prednáška sa zameria na to, ako amália kombinuje spracovanie textu, reči, obrazu a videa a ako prispieva k vytváraniu kultúrne ukotvených a dôveryhodných systémov umelej inteligencie pre verejný sektor, akademickú sféru a priemysel.
NCC Slovakia at the High-Performance Computing Conference in Portugal 24 Oct - On 22–23 October 2025, the 5th High-Performance Computing Conference (Encontro de Computação Avançada) took place at the University of Aveiro – Portugal’s main event dedicated to supercomputing, artificial intelligence, and digital innovation. The National Competence Centre for HPC (NCC Slovakia) was represented by Božidara Pellegrini.
Slovak scientists join forces in the fight against staphylococcal infection 23 Oct - Baktérie patria medzi najmenších, no zároveň najnebezpečnejších protivníkov v medicíne. Kým niektoré sú neškodné, iné dokážu spôsobiť vážne infekcie, ktorých včasná diagnostika rozhoduje o úspechu liečby. Tím slovenských vedcov preto skúma, ako odhaliť prítomnosť baktérií priamo v tkanive, rýchlo, presne a bez potreby invazívnych zásahov. Výskum spája konfokálnu Ramanovu mikroskopiu, fotodynamickú terapiu a analýzu dát na superpočítači.
