Second generation enrolled in the Master AI program at UDG

As the first year of the new Master program in Artificial Intelligence at the Faculty for Information Systems and Technologies, University of Donja Gorica, is behind us a second generation has been enrolled. They will be attending courses on Mathematics, Data science, Digital transformation, Advanced programming, History of ideas, Research methodology.

Our first generation students worked hard both in theoretical and practical aspects of the curriculum. Some of the students took part in research projects and some have already presented their first papers at scientific-technical conferences. This year the will be attending Deep Learning and Parallel Computing courses that will be implemented with the support of NCC Montenegro and partners from EuroCC.

FoodDecide – cooperation between the FoodHub Centre of Excellence and HPC NCC Montenegro

This project aims to develop effective software for decision-making support, i.e. to facilitate the business process of entities in the food business in our country, as well as competent authorities, and from the aspect of support and more effective strengthening and ensuring of food safety and research of disease outbreaks.

Researchers from the FoodHub CoE and HPC NCC Montenegro work on the FoodDecide project to identify the most important data necessary for software development such as visualisation of the food value chain.

Prof. Armin Alibasic on Castiel workshop on Human engagement

Within the Next Castiel training, a member of NCC Montenegro, Ass. professor Armin Alibasic will take part with the topic, “How to engage younger students, including high schools, on HPC”. Through the training, Armin will bring to the attention of all the methods and techniques used by NCC Montenegro, to bring a topic that was almost unknown to the general public, especially to young people, and develop certain knowledge and skills in them.

Prof. Alibasic will be talking at the upcoming Castiel workshop

Meeting with NCC Turkey

HPC NCC Montenegro representatives Luka Filipovic and Sanja Nikolic organized initial meeting with colleagues from NCC Turkey and exchanged experience and learnings on dissemination strategies, industry collaboration and training activities.

Turkish Academic Network and Information Centre (TUBITAK ULAKBIM), as lead beneficiary, is responsible for the management of NCC Turkey. As the Third-Parties of NCC Turkey, Middle East Technical University, Sabancı University, and Istanbul Technical University National Center for High-Performance Computing (UHeM) share their HPC and domain expertise through the dedicated training events, schools, and consultancies.

The NCC has organized wide range of events (>60 events with >11.000 participants) that strengthen the HPC environment by emphasizing the benefits of HPC-related technologies to the private and public sectors (trainings, seminars, webinars, workshops, info days, hackathons, conferences). Training activities and course models are organized in variety of fields like CFD, Parallel Computing with CUDA, SME interaction, Big Data, AI in Medical Image Understanding and Anomaly Detection, Materials Modelling, Graph School.

NCC Montenegro agreed future cooperation in the areas of HPC, HPDA and AI related training courses and industry interaction within EuroCC 2 project scope, with further discussion on research and innovation possibilities.

Meeting with the Institute of Hydrometeorology and Seismology

Researchers from the Institute of Hydrometeorology and Seismology, department for numerical weather analysis and prediction, visited NCC Montenegro and University of Donja Gorica. Mr Angel Marcev and mr Aleksandar Marcev met with our team to discuss the next steps in the collaboration. The discussion was about the results achieved with the simulated weather data prediction models and we made plans for future work based on HPC simulations. We discussed possibilities of usage of weather prediction with higher resolution that could be used for smaller areas for smart agriculture, energy and similar domains and possibilities of machine learning usage on data with meteorological conditions.

How to build Machine Learning collaboratively by Hugging Face

How can you show what a Machine Learning model does once it’s trained?

In this talk, you’re going to learn how to create Machine Learning apps and demos using Streamlit and Gradio, Python libraries for this purpose. Additionally, you’ll see how to share them with the rest of the Open Source ecosystem. Learning to create graphic interfaces for models is extremely useful for sharing with other people interesting them. The lecture will take place on 2 November 2022, 18:30h. Expected duration is 1 hour.
