How can NLP improve your business?
We would like to invite you to a popularization lecture focused on Natural Language Processing. NLP refers to a branch of computer sciences—and more specifically the branch of artificial intelligence or AI—concerned with giving computers the ability to understand text and spoken words in much the same way human beings can. This method is also used by currently very popular ChatGPT.
The aim of the lecture is to provide a comprehensive view on NLP and outline the potential of its use for small and medium-sized enterprises. Marek Šuppa from the Comenius University and Slido company will introduce you to NLP.
During the lecture we will talk about:
- What are modern language models and how are they created?
- How these models can be used practically?
- How much does it cost to train and operate such models?
- Aké sú očakávania od NLP v budúcnosti.
The event will take place online on April 3 from 5:00 p.m.
The number of places is limited and registration mandatory.

Central European Working Group in Slovenia 19 May - On May 19, 2025, we met with representatives of National Competence Centres for High-Performance Computing (HPC) from Central European countries. The in-person meeting of the Central European Working Group, held in Slovenia, provided us with an exceptional opportunity to exchange experiences, strengthen regional cooperation, and discuss the shared challenges and opportunities we face within the EuroCC project.
We built professional relationships and engaged in constructive discussions with representatives from neighboring countries that, like Slovakia, are running their national HPC competence centres and working on their continuous development.
Such meetings play an important role in shaping common approaches, identifying synergies, and sharing best practices in delivering services to users—whether they are research institutions, the public sector, or businesses.
