Industry collaboration with Inovativa Doo

This collaboration initiated by Inovativa, a web programming start up interested in AI powered development, focuses on leveraging Generative AI (GenAI) and different LLMs to revolutionize web design by automating key elements such as landing page creation, dynamic content generation, responsive design, and user interface optimization.

The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of both commercial and open-source AI tools, comparing their capabilities and performance across various scales. Additionally, the project explores the potential for direct in-browser AI implementations, offering a more seamless and accessible approach to web development. By harnessing the power of AI and HPC, the project aspires to democratize advanced web development techniques, making them accessible to a wider audience of developers and businesses, and fostering a new era of AI-human collaboration in digital content creation.

As a collaborative effort between academic institutions and industry partners, this initiative benefits from the technical expertise of the Faculty for Information Systems and Technology from the University of Donja Gorica (FIST/UDG), which leads the AI and machine learning analysis. Meanwhile, practical testing, implementation, and economic evaluation are driven by industry specialists. High Performance Computing (HPC) plays a crucial role in managing the computational demands of evaluating advanced AI models.This collaboration highlights the integration of AI research with real-world application, aiming to enhance efficiency and innovation in web development practices.

Industry Collaboration with Bearhost, an SME from Bijelo Polje

NCC Montenegro continues the engagement of local companies to promote the use of HPC and provide support for its practical applications. Company Bearhost from Bijelo Polje is working on a medical platform that will utilise AI for better communication between patients and medical providers. Their idea is to create the platform that integrates seamlessly with existing clinic management systems, supporting real-time appointment scheduling and comprehensive resource management.

The use of HPC ensures that the platform can process large volumes of patient data quickly and efficiently, thus optimizing clinic operations. This approach significantly reduces operational delays and allows for better patient data management, contributing to enhanced clinical outcomes. Bearhost, in collaboration with the Competence Center for HPC, seeks to address pressing healthcare challenges by utilizing AI to optimize patient-doctor interactions. The AI system, powered by HPC resources, is designed to analyze vast amounts of patient data in real-time, providing insights that help match patients with the most suitable healthcare professionals based on their symptoms and needs. By streamlining these interactions, the platform enhances timely medical interventions and improves overall patient care.

The collaboration with the UDG and NCC Montenegro further enriches this initiative by fostering academic research and development. The university’s role in this partnership involves conducting research on AI models and their practical application in medicine, ensuring that the solutions developed are grounded in scientific rigor and are continuously improved through testing and validation. The interdisciplinary exchange between the university and industry partners contributes to the platform’s continuous evolution.

Scientific paper at the 23rd INFOTEH-JAHORINA conference

A scientific paper “Output Manipulation via LoRA for Generative AI” by I. Culafic et al., was presented at the 23rd International Symposium INFOTEH-JAHORINA, 20-22 March 2024. The training for the prediction models was takin around six hours on an NVIDIA RTX 4090 24GB VRAM GPU. This research will serve as a basis for a future experiments on HPC resources. The paper is published at IEEE Xplore at: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10495995

ABSTRACT – Generative Artificial Intelligence has witnessed a surge in popularity in recent years, characterized by the emergence of groundbreaking models like DALL-E 2,
Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, which have spearheaded advancements in this technological domain. This research aims to harness the potential of Stable Diffusion and its extensions for the purpose of training a LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) model to
generate images that closely resemble the original subject matter, utilizing a predetermined amount of example data. The primary objective of this research is to demonstrate the prowess of Stable Diffusion and generative AI in a broader context, delving into the possibilities offered by open-source frameworks, highlighting the
challenges associated with poorly organized training data and the advantages of properly organized and edited datasets, conducting a comparative analysis of diverse diffusion models and examining various LoRA strength examples. This research also aims to
compare the results from larger training parameters on both small and relatively large training models for the purpose of determining if overfitting, over training on one specific subject, is more prevalent with smaller or larger datasets.
