ABSTRACT – This thesis addresses the critical issue of detecting phishing URLs, a prevalent cyber threat, using advanced artificial intelligence techniques. It examines three modelsâLogistic Regression, Random Forest, and LightGBMâthrough rigorous analysis and real data testing to assess their effectiveness in identifying malicious URLs. The results demonstrate that these models, when properly trained and calibrated, can achieve high accuracy in predicting the maliciousness of URLs.

While the current version of this technology excels in certain areas like automation, information processing speed, and knowledge base, it is not poised to replace the majority of employees in the labor market. The future of businesses hinges on how we harness and deploy ChatGPT; it can either be a chance or a threat, depending on our development and utilization of this technology.
ABSTRACT – This thesis examines the groundbreaking impact of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, a revolutionary conversational AI, on the field of natural language processing. ChatGPT’s exceptional performance and capabilities have led to widespread adoption for daily business tasks, setting new trends in the job market. The paper explores ChatGPT’s role in various branches of artificial intelligence and its implications for diverse industries, considering its potential, limitations, and ethical concerns. The research draws on relevant literature to highlight the opportunities and challenges this technology presents. While routine tasks may be automated, ChatGPT is seen as a tool to enhance productivity, emphasizing that workers will not be replaced but augmented by its usage.
Mr Anel Gredic defended his BSc thesis titled “Time series and their application in meteorology” under mentorship of prof. Luka Filipovic. Thesis discusses the significance of time series analysis in meteorology. Time series, which are continuous records of meteorological data like temperature, precipitation, humidity, and wind speed, play a vital role in meteorological science. They are collected by specialized weather stations and satellites and are essential for meteorologists and climate researchers. Time series analysis involves using statistical methods and models to understand the variability of weather conditions over time. It helps identify seasonal patterns, trends, and extreme events, which in turn aids in weather forecasting and climate change monitoring. The application of time series analysis extends beyond meteorology, impacting various aspects of everyday life. This research has profound implications for society and various industries, improving safety, sustainability, and efficiency.
ABSTRACT – Time series are continuous sequences of meteorological data, such as temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind speed, etc., recorded over time at the same location. These data sets are often collected by specialized weather stations and satellites, and are an invaluable resource for meteorologists and climate researchers. Time series analysis is a fundamental component of meteorological science. Through the use of statistical methods, models and techniques, meteorologists can better understand the variability of weather conditions over time. This analysis enables the identification of seasonal patterns, trends and extreme events. It also helps develop models for weather forecasting and climate change monitoring. The application of time series extends to various aspects of our everyday life. Analysis of time series and their application in meteorology are crucial for understanding and predicting weather phenomena, climate change and protection against extreme weather events. This research has a profound and far-reaching impact on our society and various industries, contributing to the improvement of safety, sustainability and efficiency.
Mr Filip Radinovic defended his BSc thesis “A system for analyzing identification documents by leveraging Computer vision and Deep Learning” under co-mentorhsip of mr Stevan Cakic and prof. Tomo Popovic. The thesis focuses on the importance of identity in our digital world and how it impacts the security measures used by organizations. The main goal of the thesis is to use artificial intelligence to verify a personâs identity online. The researchers trained a model using various datasets and images, teaching it to spot even the smallest inconsistencies. The most significant discovery they made is that this model is very accurate, with a precision rate of around 90%. Additionally, the model is very efficient, taking only 3 to 4 seconds to process data, which is much faster than manual methods. Overall, the thesis highlights the potential of using AI for identity verification, making it both precise and time-saving.
The thesis focused on the use of computer vision and HPC/AI to develop tools for ID document analysis
ABSTRACT – Identity is one of the most sacred values and currencies in our digital era, affecting the working models of private and public institutions. This causes many strict security measures and protocols with a price of time, which is where this thesisâ goal arises. The approach of the thesis is leveraging artificial intelligence to accomplish identity verification over the web. The model was trained on a myriad of datasets and images, utilizing standard deep learning algorithms. By the end of training, it was able to detect the most subtle inconsistencies, making it quite precise. The biggest research finding is the potential that a model like this holds. Its precision varies around 90%, which is a good number by todayâs standards and modelâs testing conditions and hardware. The other aspect is time, in which the model excels. From the point when the model receives the data, the processing of it begins and it takes 3 to 4 seconds (on modest hardware). This implies superior efficiency than manual or alternative ways of accomplishing the same goal.
An event “STEMpower” was held at the University of Donja Gorica (UDG) as part of the “Days of Science and Innovation” Festival. Students from high schools from Podgorica, Bar and Pljevlja had the opportunity to listen to interesting lectures about supercomputers, artificial intelligence and machine learning and to visit the laboratories of the UDG.
NCC Montenegro representative Luka Filipovic gave a presentation on Romanian HPC event âHPC and Al Technologies: Accelerating Innovation through collaborationâ. Luka spoke on âEmpowering Breakthroughs through HPC Collaborationâ panel and gave presentation about NCC activities and Montenegrin success stories.
