Webinar: Teaching Machines to See Any Object
We invite you to online lecture – Training Machines to Detect Any Object, led by RNDr. Andrej Lúčny, PhD. from the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics at Comenius University in Bratislava.
Modern artificial intelligence models today enable robots to recognize objects from predefined categories. However, the challenge remains the ability to perceive any object as an independent entity. A major breakthrough in this area came with visual transformers, which, since 2020, have made it possible to infer the position of an object as a byproduct of the image classification process.

Join us for the talk: Teaching Machines to See Any Object
Registered participants will receive an invitation to the MS Teams meeting a few days before the event.
The lecture will present:
- Využitie modelu DINO (2021), trénovaného bez anotácií, na navádzanie pozornosti humanoidného robota.
- Zlepšenie segmentácie obrazu prostredníctvom modelu CUTLER (2023) a metódy MaskCut, založenej na optimalizačnej úlohe NCut.
- New approaches to more efficient generation of fine masks using neural network learning.
The lecture is intended for researchers, professionals, students, and all those interested in artificial intelligence, computer vision, and robotics.
Artificial Intelligence and a Supercomputer as a New Weapon Against Environmental Disasters 26 Mar - Scientists from Nitra, Slovakia are teaching machines to predict industrial failures before they can cause damage. Thanks to collaboration with the European supercomputer LUMI, they have developed a digital “guardian” capable of detecting pipeline leaks or manufacturing faults with high accuracy—helping protect both the environment and companies’ budgets.
The Slovak Recipe for Fair Play and Happier Players 25 Mar - Do you play games on your phone and sometimes feel like the game just doesn’t understand you? Experts from Nitra, Slovakia, have used one of Europe’s most powerful supercomputers to change that. Thanks to the Italian giant named Leonardo, they discovered how to read between the lines of player behavior and make the gaming experience more personal and fair.
