报告题目：Artificial Intelligence: Industrial Applications, Education, and Open Source
报告摘要:
Title: Generative AI for industrial applications
AI Research center in ITMO University was founded in 2021 as a part of Russian Federal Project “Artificial Intelligence”. The main topic of its activity is the development of AI technologies to reproduce the creative activity of domain specialists (e.g. designer, engineer, operator) for various industrial areas. Basic technologies of the center are generative AI joined with advanced AutoML techniques with allow to compose complex simulation models over the data. The talk is covered several approaches of generative AI to industrial problems, e.g. tunning of industrial LLMs, design of architectural projects, scheduling over strong uncertainty, generation of data-driven digital twins of technical systems and (even) the customers of technologies. Assessment of generative AI using in real industrial projects (such as urban development and oil and gas industry).
Title: Higher Education and Continuing Education Courses in AI: ITMO experience
Education and training in the field of Artificial Intelligence is one of the key priorities of all countries today. I will briefly talk about several key initiatives from the Russian Federation governement and industry, and discuss how they have changed educational landscape there. Then I will precent several initiatives from ITMO which helped us to manage AI education and related activities at our University. I will talk about AI Expert Counsil, AI Competence Framework, and some instruments that might be used for AI educational properties.
Title: Reproducibility of Scientific Research in AI/ML using Open Source: Experience of ITMO Ecosystem
The research reproducibility crisis is particularly arising in AI and ML. One of the ways to solve this problem is to introduce the culture of open source code, data and models into the scientific sphere. I will talk about how I have been helping to turn ITMO University research results into open source libraries and frameworks for several years. We will discuss both the technical aspects of bringing AI solutions into Open Source and the nuances of developing an open source ecosystem community in an academic environment.
