  • data analysis;


MLSS@UNIZA 2021

We are glad to share that in spite of the ongoing pandemic and various travel restrictions, we were able to run the Machine Learning School @UNIZA again this year – although we did it online. From 13th Sept. until 17th Sept. the participants were once again able to learn about the fundaments of modern machine learning (ML) methods and to build up their practical ML skills in interactive sessions. Thank you, L'Aquilla and Belgrade! We are especially thankful that this year's MLSS was organized jointly with the University of L'Aquilla and the University of Belgrade (our partners under the Erasmus+ ...

Letná škola strojového učenia @ UNIZA 2019

Od pondelka 9. 9. beží na Žilinskej univerzite ďalší ročník Letnej školy strojového učenia, ktorú minulý rok založil Milan Straka, doktorand z Fakulty riadenia a informatiky a nadšenec pre strojové učenie, umelú inteligenciu a dátovú analýzu. Ide o spoločnú aktivitu, ktorú spoluorganizuje Fakulta riadenia a informatiky s Fakultou elektrotechniky a informačných technológií – a sme radi, že od tohto roka ku organizácii a obsahu významnou formou prispieva aj Laboratórium umelej inteligencie Žilinskej univerzity (LUIZA). Cieľom letnej školy je účastníkom poskytnúť intenzívnou formou v krátkom čase moderný kurz základov strojového učenia. Osobitné poďakovanie patrí v tejto súvislosti firmám BRAIN:IT a Siemens ...
