Natural and artificial intelligenceTOMÁŠ HROMÁDKAInstitute of Neuroimonulogy SAS
What are the similarities and differences between the intelligence of the biological system itself and the artificial intelligence? The effort to model the processes taking place in the brain was one of the inspirations for the development of artificial intelligence. We will talk about how information is processed in the living brain, the extent to which such artificial intelligence inspiration is usable and justifiable, and where the two types of intelligence differ.

Current problems of reinforcement learningMICHAL CHOVANECTachyum
Reinforcement learning - what it is and how it works, including demonstrations. The main points of the lecture was key achievements: Atari, GO, Hide and seek and demonstrations of deep reinforcement learning and AlphaGO.
The problem of exploitation: rare rewards, such as in roles: Montezuma’s revenge, Hide and seek. We examine the state space as "effective."

Use of ML / AI for applications in chemistry - potential drugs on Covid-19MARIÁN GALLCOO SAS - Computing Centre
How can we transform the structure of molecules into a form that neural networks understand? In this lecture, we want to summarize our efforts to replace the computationally expensive "docking" of molecules into the cavity of a target protein by machine learning and neural network methods. The target protein under study is 3CLpro SARS-CoV-2 (6WQF), which plays a key role in SARS-CoV-2 virus replication. How successful are these methods in preselecting large drug databases to select potential drugs for covid-19?

Introduction to applications of complex calculations in medicineZUZANA ČERNEKOVÁ, PETER BLUSKADepartment of Computer Graphics and Vision, Department of Applied Informatics FMFI UK, Rádiológia s.r.o.
In medicine, in recent years, observing the exponential growth of data and their processing requires increasingly sophisticated systems. The first part of the presentation outlined the needs and problems of modern medicine with emphasis on the field of radiology. In the second part we will get acquainted with the way of using neural networks to develop algorithms recognizing diagnoses in radiological images.

Deep learning and its basic applications for computer visionANDREJ LÚČNYDepartment of Computer Science FMFI UK
When we use some model of deep learning, it is almost impossible to understand how and why it works based on its architecture. To do this, we need to know the history of how and through what versions the researchers worked on the given architecture. In the lecture we will summarize the basic milestones of this history, starting with the perceptron and ending with the first successful deep neural networks.

Use of HPC in operational weather forecast in SlovakiaJOZEF VIVODASlovak hydrometeorological institute
SHMU has been operating HPC since 2004. The primary application is the ALADIN model, developed within the international consortia ALADIN and currently ACCORD. This application contains hydride parallelism (combination of OpenMP, MPI) with the ability to set the length of the vector of internal cycles, so it is suitable for vector and scalar architectures.

Modelling of 2D systems properties using the Quantum Monte Carlo methodsIVAN ŠTICHInstitute of Physics SAS
Prof. Štich is a partner of the TREX CoE - the European Center of Excellence in Exascale Computing (Horizon 2020 project). The lecture is focused on quantum Monte Carlo computational methods, for which the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded in 2020 and which are well suited for the exascale computing. You will see a demonstration of calculations that required 30 million core hours to run.

Federated distributed computingLadislav Hluchý
Institute of Informatics SAS
V súčasnosti zaznamenávame vďaka výkonným serverom a veľkým dátovým úložiskám značný pokrok v distribuovanom počítaní, kde sa dá dosiahnuť vysoký výkon spracovania (desiatky PFLOPS). Ešte v nedávnej minulosti sme boli svedkami budovania počítačových klastrov z osobných počítačov, neskôr už z výkonných serverov a dátových úložísk. Od roku 2000 bol veľký “boom” v budovaní distribuovaných infraštruktúr na báze gridu aj s distribuovaným operačným systémom. Pri zrode cloudových technológií nadobudlo distribuované počítanie nový rozmer. IT spoločnosti ako Google, Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, ATOS začali ponúkať svoje technológie. Vzhľadom na to, že by sa výskumníci mohli dostať do tzv. vendor lock stavu, tak v rámci podpory EK sa začali budovať federatívne cloudové infraštruktúry, kde jednotlivé národné cloudové infraštruktúry sa môžu pripájať do spoločnej federácie. Výskumníci tak môžu svoje náročné výpočty spúšťať v infraštruktúre, ktorá nebude klásť technologické obmedzenia.
