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 |

Teaching Machines to See Any Object
RNDr. Andrej Lúčny, PhD. Registration Modern models enable robots to recognize objects from a predetermined set of categories. However, the challenge remains to perceive any object as an independent entity. A breakthrough came with visual transformers (2020), which can derive an object’s location as a byproduct of image classification. The DINO model (2021), trained without annotations, has been successfully used to guide a humanoid robot’s attention. More information |
