The Use of HPC at the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute
Mgr. Mária Derková, PhD. Registration Since 2021, SHMÚ has been using the modern computing system NEC-LX, which significantly contributes to weather forecasting. Its main tool is the ALADIN numerical weather prediction model, which runs continuously on this system. In the lecture, we will demonstrate how ALADIN is used in various areas — not only in weather forecasting, but also in computations related to climate, water, and air quality. More information |

Slovak Language in the Era of Large Language Models (with the Support of the Leonardo Supercomputer)
Marek Dobeš Registration In our project, we aim to overcome the language barrier of Slovak through strategies that can also be applied to other low-resource languages. We generate bilingual data using Slovak books and the LLaMA 3.3 70B Instruct model, creating datasets for translation and improving machine-generated Slovak. With the help of Gemini Flash and the PLOS database, we summarize scientific articles in Slovak to support model training in specialized terminology. Additionally, we are developing a dataset from Slovak sources to enhance cultural context and improve the handling of Slovakia-specific topics. More information |
