Demystifying Artificial Intelligence, High-Performance Computing, and Big Data for Competitive Advantage of Companies

We invite you to a seminar Demystifying Artificial Intelligence, High-Performance Computing, and Big Data for Competitive Advantage of Companies, aimed at enhancing the understanding of modern technologies and their applications in business and research environments.

Participants will gain insights into:

• The fundamental concepts of artificial intelligence (e.g., machine learning, deep learning, generative models),
• The basic principles of high-performance computing (e.g., parallelization, distributed computing, GPU acceleration),
• The significance and processing of big data and its role in decision-making and process optimization,
• Supporting tools, platforms, and techniques for developing and implementing solutions,
• Examples of best practices and concrete applications in industry, the public sector, and research projects.

Seminar objectives:

• Demystify complex concepts and make them accessible to a broader professional audience,
• Present the integration of artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and big data, and their advantages in digital transformation,
• Encourage the understanding and practical use of these technologies in concrete business scenarios.

The seminar will be delivered by Jani Dugonik, a researcher at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Maribor. With over ten years of experience in evolutionary algorithms and natural language processing and more than seven years of work in artificial intelligence, he combines in-depth theoretical knowledge with practical approaches. Recently, his focus has been on research in the field of cyber and information security, based on the integration of security technologies with intelligent agents and natural language processing methods. His research is rooted in an interdisciplinary approach and collaboration in various projects both in Slovenia and abroad.
