DSC Adria is just around the corner! π₯
Meet our next set of speakers:
π Tin FerkoviΔ, an ML Research Engineer at doXray specializing in document understanding, holds a recent degree in Data Science from FER, Zagreb, and emphasizes the dual importance of technical excellence and societal impact.
He will be joining us from Croatia to deliver his talk titled: Model Calibration
Tin holds a strong educational background in Data Science, including a Master's degree from FER and a master exchange semester at RWTH Aachen University.
In his talk, Tin Ferkovic will explore the process of model calibration, discussing various techniques to align confidence predictions with output probabilities in both discriminative and generative scenarios, including simpler methods for classification problems like text classification and named entity recognition, as well as more advanced techniques like TrOCR for generative tasks.
π Valentina Zadrija is an AI Tech lead at Yaak Technologies. She will be joining us from Croatia to present her talk titled: Large Multimodal Models: scaling from browsers to Embodied AI.
With over 18 years of experience and a PhD in the field of AI, Valentina has been developing AI models for autonomous mobile robots and self-driving cars, while also leading teams for their development. Her research interests include large multimodal models, their security, and their deployment beyond browsers - into smart homes, warehouses, fields and roads.
In her talk, Valentina will discuss the challenges of implementing large multimodal models for embodied AI, focusing on safety alignment and validation with human core values.
π Sandro Skansi, an Associate Professor of Logic and AI at the University of Zagreb / SveuΔiliΕ‘te u Zagrebu' is a leading figure in the field of artificial intelligence.
He will be joining us from Croatia to deliver his talk titled: A Lost Croatian AI Program from the 1950's
With two published books on AI and numerous peer-reviewed papers, Sandro has also applied his expertise to develop AI models for Croatian companies and government agencies. Holding a Ph.D. in Logic from the University of Zagreb, his contributions bridge the gap between technical AI advancements and philosophical inquiry, making him a valuable asset to both academia and industry.
In his talk, Sandro will cover the early AI landscape from 1943 to 1960, focusing on the first Zagreb circle of cybernetics in the 1950s. He'll explore their work in developing a machine translation system, discussing technical aspects and drawing parallels with modern transformers like BERT and GPT.
