During the 28th International Conference on Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Information & Engineering Systems (KES 2024), Dr. Włodzimierz Lewoniewski presented a paper entitled “Exploring the Challenges and Potential of Generative AI: Insights from an Empirical Study” and a paper entitled “Supporting fact-checking process with IT tools”. The conference was held on September 11-13, 2024 in hybrid mode.
In 2024, scientists from the Department of Information Systems participated for the second time in the CheckThat! competition, part of the international CLEF conference, focused on identifying check-worthy texts. Leveraging transformer-based language models and cross-linguistic transfer learning techniques, the team secured two second-place rankings for English and Arabic submissions.
Students of our specialization in Informatics and Econometrics – Mikołaj Tym and Jakub Żerebecki (2nd degree, 1st year, speciality: Information Systems for Business and Administration) – took part in the competition “The Web Intelligence – Deduplication Challenge” organized by Eurostat between December 2022 and April 2023 year. The task performed concerned the field of Data Science and natural language processing.
Representatives of SRG Data Science took part in the “AI School” workshops for students, organized by Microsoft and Żabka Group. This meeting was an excellent opportunity to learn about the world of generative artificial intelligence. The classes consisted of two parts: theoretical and practical.
