NASLOV: The REST principles and HATEOAS: history and perspectives
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

Hypermedia as the engine of application state (HATEOAS) is one of the most ignored and less used principle of the REpresentational State Transfer (REST) architectural style. This presentation will give a brief reminder about REST and HATEOAS, before summarizing the state of the art related to this principle, and discussing remaining open problems. The lack of adoption, as a consequence of HATEOAS design limitations, provides an interesting insight into how novel solutions to drive navigation between Web resources could be designed.

NASLOV: Time Series transformations for churn prediction with CNNs
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

Churn prediction represents a pivotal task in the retail sector, focusing on identifying customers with a high risk of attrition. We analyze a multi-year dataset from a large Slovenian retailer, encompassing detailed customer demographics, purchasing behaviors, and transaction records. To assess model performance, we employ a rolling-window cross-validation approach on temporally ordered data. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been utilized for Time Series forecasting in this context. The model's performance is evaluated using rolling-window cross-validation on the chronologically structured data. We hypothesize that applying various Time Series transformations, such as downsampling, smoothing and other manipulations, can enhance the predictive accuracy of CNN models compared to raw time series inputs.

NASLOV: Addressing Name and Face Recall Cognitive Failure Using Visualisation-Based Mnemonics
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

This research addresses the everyday cognitive failure of recalling names and faces by leveraging visualisation-based mnemonics. Despite the advancement in technology, enhancing human cognitive performance remains challenging, especially in everyday tasks like remembering names. Current research lacks a strategy-based digital training system to improve semantic memory for face-name associations. We take the first step towards developing such a system by creating a prototype to evaluate the visualisation-based link mnemonic method that could be used by the training system. This prototype augments faces in videos with keywords and visualisations, aiming to enhance face-name recall. We present the prototype and propose a research method to evaluate different modes of the system, focusing on the impact of animated visualisations on recall effectiveness and mental effort.

NASLOV: A multi-echelon vehicle routing problem for waste wood collection and processing
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

Wood waste from construction and demolition sites or industrial processing can be recovered and transformed into valuable products. However, since this waste comes from various sources, it requires certain pre-processing steps before actual remanufacturing. The first step is the collection and transport of the waste from collection points, construction sites and industrial facilities to the processing facilities. Once there, the material has to undergo pre-processing steps (sorting, cleaning/decontamination) before it can be manufactured into a new product. Finally, the finished products are transported to their final destination, such as customers.
This presentation focuses on the problem of optimizing collection and transport of wood waste to pre-processing and processing facilities, as well as the distribution of final products to customers. The above optimization question will be modelled as a vehicle routing problem (VRP) with multiple echelons.

NASLOV: Harnessing Deep Neural Networks for Area of Interest Annotation in Eye Tracking Research
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

Eye gaze is widely recognised as an important indicator for understanding and predicting user behaviour, as well as directing their attention across various domains including advertisement design, human-computer interaction and film viewing. We present a novel method to enhance the analysis of user behaviour and attention by (i) augmenting video streams with automatically annotated and labelled areas of interest (AOIs), and (ii) integrating AOIs with collected gaze and fixation data. The tool provides key features such as time to first fixation, dwell time, and frequency of AOI revisits. Using the capabilities of the YOLOv8 object tracking algorithm, the tools supports over 600 different object classes, providing a comprehensive set for a variety of video streams. This tool will be made available as open-source software, thereby contributing to broader research and development efforts in the field.

------------------------------------------------

Milan Milivojčević is a second-year Computer Science master's student at UP FAMNIT. He previously obtained a Computer Science bachelor's degree at UP FAMNIT. He will be presenting the work that was done on his study exchange at the Charles University in Prague together with colleagues Todor Antić and Jelena Glišić. This work was published on the 40th European Workshop on Computational Geometry (EuroCG) and on the International Workshop on Combinatorial Algorithms (IWOCA) 2024.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NASLOV: Star-Forest Decompositions of Complete Graphs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

This work deals with the problem of decomposing a complete geometric graph into plane star-forests. In particular, we disprove a recent conjecture by Pach, Saghafian and Schnider by constructing for each n a complete geometric graph on n vertices which can be decomposed into ⌈n/2⌉ +1 plane star-forests. Additionally we prove that for even n, every decomposition of complete abstract graph on n vertices into n/2 +1 star-forests is composed of a perfect matching and n/2 star-forests with two edge-balanced components, which we call broken double stars.

NASLOV: Comparison of brain MRI segmentation pipelines
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is frequently used in clinical trials to estimate longitudinal brain volume changes in order to asses treatment effect in neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis. A standard pre-processing step in volume estimation involves segmentation of MRI into distinct brain structures, and a large number of automated brain segmentation tools/pipelines have thus been developed. The seminar will present a comparison of six segmentation pipelines frequently used in clinical trials: FreeSurfer, SamSeg, FastSurfer, SIENAX, SPM12, and CAT12 on healthy controls and patients with Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis. The project was conducted as part of an internship at F. Hoffmann-La Roche, a pharmaceutical company currently developing drugs for various neurological diseases.

NASLOV: A GVNS-based solution approach to the Uncapacitated Single Allocation p-hub Maximal Covering Problem
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

Hub covering problems represent extensions of classical covering location problems and they are widely studied in the literature, due to their theoretical and practical importance in location science. This study considers the Uncapacitated Single Allocation p-hub Maximal Covering Problem (USApHMCP) with binary coverage criterion. The USApHMCP considers a complete symmetric graph G=(N,E), where N represents a set of nodes, while E denotes a set of edges. Transportation costs per unit of flow and the flow demand for each origin-destination (O-D) pair i-j are given (i,j ϵ N). The goal of USApHMCP is to choose locations of p hubs from the set H ⊆ N, and to allocate non-hub nodes to hubs, such that the total covered flow between O-D pairs is maximized. The flow between an O-D pair is considered "covered" if the transportation costs are within the given maximum service distance (coverage radius). Each non-hub node is assigned to exactly one hub and the incoming and outgoing flows are sent only through that hub (single allocation scheme). A mixed integer formulation of the USApHMCP is presented and used within the framework of CPLEX solver on hub instances from the literature. As USApHMCP belongs to the class of NP-hard optimization problems, a solution approach based on General Variable Neighborhood Search (GVNS) heuristic is developed to tackle instances of larger problem dimensions. Two variants of GVNS heuristics are proposed, which use different procedures in the solution improvement phase: Sequential Variable Neighborhood Descent and Nested Variable Neighborhood Descent. The impact of these two procedures on overall GVNS performance is investigated through extensive computational experiments on standard hub instances from the literature. The obtained results indicate the efficiency of both GVNS variants, however, the one with Nested Variable Neighborhood Descent procedure was more successful with respect to both solution quality and running times. The results of GVNS on large-scale problem instances are also presented, showing the potential of GVNS when solving USApHMCP on realistic-size hub networks.

NASLOV: Organizational Capability for Information Management – Do we Feel a Big Data Crisis?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK: Nowadays, modern business includes acquisition and storing enormous data volumes, larger than ever before. Most often, collected data are used in a shorter time frame, and then they are archived and almost not used, effectively. On the other hand, such data represent a significant value that a company can utilize so as to reach created goals and provide a sustainable development. Unfortunately, a daily practice in many companies still intensively points out to the problem of a serious gap between the identified needs for knowledge, on one hand, and inability of modern software products to address such needs in an effective way, on the other hand. Despite that massive data volumes already exist and that modern information solutions provide the excellent technology prerequisites for a development and industry implementation of high quality software applications. We can call such a phenomenon a “big data crisis”. Some of important causes of the aforementioned phenomenon are in the following: (1) Unsatisfactory level of organization maturity in regard to the: capabilities for information management, quality management, and business processes; (2) Unsatisfactory level of accumulated knowledge in a problem domain; and (3) Unsatisfactory level of accumulated knowledge in a domain of software engineering, particularly in a domain of the development and formal specification of models for software products aimed at generation of company knowledge and decision support. Alleviating the aforementioned phenomenon is a strategic and long term task, possible by simultaneous addressing all its significant causes, only.

In this talk, some of the author's research and educational efforts will be presented, trying to address the most influencing factors for information management and innovations, leading to the digital transformation process.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NASLOV: The AI alignment problem and its implications for society
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

Humanity has again found itself on the brink of a new era, as large language models (LLM) seem poised to bring about important social changes. As these models advance in complexity, the issue of AI alignment is gaining popularity in a daily conversation topic.
This research explores two contrasting viewpoints on the AI alignment problem: the Orthogonalist perspective pioneered by Nick Bostrom and the Anti-orthogonalist critique formulated by Nick Land. The former posits that an AI’s goals are independent of its intelligence, suggesting that a "friendly AI" (fully aligned to human values) is possible. The latter challenges its separation of intelligence and values from the perspective that intelligence increase leads to a greater ability for self-reflection, ultimately leading to a restructuring of its value structure to prioritize further cognitive enhancement. We discuss the implications of these ideas and highlight the current patterns seen in the developments of widely available AI tools, such as LLM.

NASLOV: Pseudo-Random Algorithm for Sending Messages in Decentralized Networks
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

We present an algorithm for the dissemination of messages in fully decentralized networks. The motivation for research comes from the field of blockchain technology and the development of decentralized network protocols. One of the key goals of such systems is an effective spread of data through the network. The goal of good algorithms is to get every message received as soon as possible. The presented algorithm works on the principle of pseudorandomness for determining the message path from the originator of the message to every node in the network. The proposed algorithm pseudorandomly generates a path for the message through the network. Upon receiving the message, each node is able to reproduce the same path and continue the propagation of the message. The algorithm implements a by-layer checking on the successful dissemination of the message, which sharply raises the fault tolerance of the algorithm.

PREDAVATELJ: Gregor GRBEC
----------------------------------------

Gregor Grbec is a student who started his studies in Bioinformatics at UP FAMNIT. After graduation in 2020, he decided to pursue a master's degree in Data Science at the same faculty. His lifelong interest in football inspired him to do research on who is the best football player – one of the most frequently asked questions in football.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NASLOV: Ranking Football Players Using Multilevel Modeling
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

While football is a team sport, the question of who is the best football player is one of the most frequently asked in the footballing world. Attackers like Pele, Maradona, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are often mentioned as the best of all time, while players of other positions are mentioned significantly less. We believe that players of all positions are important, which is why we wanted to provide a data-backed answer to this question using advanced mathematical models that can incorporate players of all positions on a single list. Our two main objectives were to extract an individual's performance from the team's performance and to eliminate any bias that comes from the player's position. We used multilevel modeling which allowed us to control for player's team strength with data collected for all players of the top 20 clubs from the top 5 leagues from this century. The results were surprising, as Messi and Ronaldo, often believed to be two of the best of all time, ranked lower than expected.

NASLOV: Decentralised Solutions for Preserving Privacy in Group Recommender Systems
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

Group Recommender Systems (GRS) combine large amounts of data from various user behaviour signals (likes, views, purchases) and contextual information to provide groups of users with accurate suggestions (e.g. rating prediction, rankings). To handle those large amounts of data, GRS can be extended to use distributed processing and storage solutions (e.g. MapReduce-like algorithms and NoSQL databases). As such, privacy has always been a core issue since most recommendation algorithms rely on user behaviour signals and contextual information that may contain sensitive information. However, existing work in this domain mostly distributes data processing tasks without addressing privacy, and the solutions that address privacy for GRS (e.g. k-anonymisation and local differential privacy) remain centralised. In this paper, we identify and analyse privacy concerns in GRS and provide guidelines on how decentralised techniques can be used to address them.

PREDAVATELJ: Aleksandar AVDALOVIĆ
---------------------------------------------------

Aleksandar Avdalović is a second-year student of the master's program Data Science at UP FAMNIT. He will be presenting his Master’s thesis topic that he is completing under the supervision of Prof. Mário Alberto Zenha-Rela and Prof. Raul Barbosa from University of Coimbra and co-supervision of Prof. Marko Tkalčič from UP FAMNIT.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NASLOV: Translation of random forests to loop-free imperative programs for the purpose of formal verification
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

Throughout the years of society's digitalisation and transformation, the ethics of AI/ML-dependent critical systems have been continually questioned. In the use of such systems, accuracy may not be a valid metric because machine errors can lead to devastating consequences, including the loss of human life. This thesis takes a narrow approach to the aforementioned problem, namely the formal verification of the incredibly effective and widespread supervised learning method of today, random forest. Using the first-order logic statements and algorithm developed in this study, we intend to determine if the model has acquired factually-grounded prior knowledge. In other words, we wish to confirm that the model is reliable in light of prior knowledge. The translation of the random forest algorithm into a loop-free imperative program for verification purposes provides a technical challenge for this task. The core of the thesis is the algorithm provided in response to the research question of whether an algorithm for described translation exists. We shall construct the algorithm and ensure its correctness by rigorously testing it with various datasets, including those later used for verification and artificially generated datasets with different shapes and numbers of classes. Additionally, we will evaluate its efficiency and demonstrate its application on three datasets (one dataset from Cardiology and two datasets from Rheumatology). Another research problem will be practical, examining if the model has acquired particular prior knowledge in the fields of Cardiology and Rheumatology given the data. Results demonstrate that such an algorithm can be created and is highly efficient and that it can be applied realistically in the health sector to validate ML models based on the random forest algorithm.

NASLOV: Breaking Barriers in Gesture Recognition: Enhancing Accuracy through Material-Aware Training
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

Human-computer interaction is undergoing a transformative shift, moving away from traditional interfaces (screen, keyboard and mouse) and towards more intuitive and natural interaction methods. Gesture recognition plays a crucial role in this paradigm shift, enabling participants to interact with digital devices using natural hand movements and gestures. Leveraging millimetre-wave (mmWave) radar signals that penetrate materials and are immune to environmental conditions, gesture recognition can be achieved even when devices are concealed or embedded within objects. However, the impact of everyday materials on gesture recognition accuracy remains inadequately investigated. This paper investigates whether training a machine learning model with gestures sensed through materials improves overall classification accuracy. We also explore to what extent this improvement occurs and how to achieve comparable accuracy with a model trained using fewer materials. Our findings shed light on the influence of materials on gesture recognition and provide insights into optimizing training processes for enhanced performance in real-world applications.

NASLOV: Digital Distraction, Online Vigilance and the Goldfish Hypothesis: Making sense of the impacts of technology on attention
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

Over the past two decades we have experienced the emergence of a media ecology characterized by the omnipresence of mobile computing devices that offer a rapidly expanding range of gratifying online experiences. As smartphone use volumes have steadily increased, online platforms have proliferated, creating an increasingly competitive attention economy. A growing body of both popular and academic literature have raised concerns over the potential impacts of these developments for human wellbeing. One area which has received substantial attention concerns the effects that permanent online connectedness and constant media multitasking may have on cognitive control – i.e., our capacity to direct and sustain attention. Specifically, some studies have suggested that our behavior with technology may lead to the shortening of our attention spans. In this talk the state of empirical evidence in this domain is systematically reviewed with reference to recent studies of both the short and long-term effects of digital technology use on cognitive control.

NASLOV: Class Probability Distributions of a Neural Network Classifier of Multiple Sclerosis Lesions on Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease, in which the insulating myelin covers of nerve cells are damaged. Remyelination is a repair process that forms new myelin sheaths. MS lesion types are heterogeneous regarding myelin damage and repair and iron content, and may be classified histopathologically. Recently, quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) MRI has been shown to classify white matter MS lesions into demyelinated and remyelinated types in vivo. Furthermore, a neural network model demonstrates potential for automatic classification of such lesions into the types based on QSM. However, the model requires further classification accuracy increase and faces the problem of handling lesions unable to be classified by medical experts. The problem represents a significant hurdle for the potential use of the model in clinical scenarios. In this work, the class probability distributions of the model on different remyelinated, demyelinated, and unclassified lesion types are analyzed, to better understand its performance and estimate its behavior on unclassified lesions. The obtained results are important for improving the model and enabling its transition into medical practice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NASLOV: Data Management Meets Process Mining - Scaling Trace Clustering to Large Data
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

With the broad adoption of process mining techniques in industry, process mining tools now face massive data volumes with process logs that can store hundreds of millions of activities. Process mining queries often require fast response times since the user interacts with a dashboard to gain business insights. To analyze business processes, the so-called traces of the processes are inspected. A trace is a sequence of activities observed in the process log. To facilitate the analysis, similar traces should be grouped into clusters using the well-known DBSCAN algorithm. Unfortunately, current trace clustering approaches do not scale to large collections of traces, neither in terms of runtime nor in terms of memory usage.
We present two novel techniques that solve the scalability issue of the trace clustering problem. (1) TwoL is a new, highly effective similarity index for traces. Compared to previous techniques, TwoL optimizes a cost function to gracefully adapt to different data distributions. (2) Spread is the first linear-space DBSCAN algorithm that can process data points in any user-defined order. This is required to leverage the full potential of trace indices. Previous approaches must precompute and materialize all neighborhoods of the data points, which requires quadratic space. With respect to the state of the art in trace clustering, our techniques reduce the memory complexity and achieve speedups of more than an order of magnitude.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NASLOV: Longitudinal Study of Preferences and Behaviour Changes in Music Streaming
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

The majority of research in recommender systems, being it algorithmic improvements, context-awareness, explainability, or other areas, evaluate their systems on datasets that capture the user interaction with the system in a relatively limited time span. However, recommender systems have been around for more than two decades and the way user behave might have changed through time. Although there is a wide body of research in media studies and psychology on how user preferences and behaviour change through time (especially as users age) there has been very little work done in the domain of recommender systems. In this work we explore how user preferences and behaviour change through time on a well-known dataset of LastFM users, the LFM-2B dataset. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only dataset that covers a long-enough time span (to allow longitudinal studies) and has age information about its users. Beside performing a descriptive analysis of preferences and behaviour changes we also inspect whether there are differences between generations of users. The results show important insights that can pave the way for a new line of research in recommender systems and informs future work.

NASLOV: Verification and Validation of U-space Services
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs or UAS) have gained notable importance in civil airspace. To ensure their safe operation (in particular, in urban area), U-space services are being defined in Europe. U-space is a set of services that rely on a high level of digitalization and automation of functions. These services are either on board of the UAVs or are part of the ground controllers, allowing the safe and efficient operation of a large number of UAS (especially, but not only, in urban VLL (very low level)). The main safety pillar of U-space services is conflict management in both strategic and tactical levels, aiming to limit the risk of collision between UAVs and hazards to an agreed level deemed acceptable. However, the target level of safety (TLS) can be threatened by many factors like failures in UAVs (or its components and sensores like GPS), and U-space functioning and communications (e.g., can be caused by hardware failure, software failures, network failures, or security attacks), or even failures due to non-deterministic behavior of AI-based components used in these systems. Our research team aims at building a verification and validation (V&V) platform, allowing the safety assessment of UAVs and U-space services under the aforementioned conditions. By providing such V&V platform for safety assessment, we aim to ensure that the target level of safety is met and maintained.

PREDAVATELJ: Cuauhtli CAMPOS
---------------------------------------------

Cuauhtli Campos is a PhD student in Computer Science in the field of Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Primorska, Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies and an assistant researcher at the InnoRenew CoE within the Wood Modification Group. His doctoral work is at the intersection of interactive paper technologies, immersive and playful reading experiences and augmented reality.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NASLOV: Designing Interactive Paper Display by Interlacing Physical and Digital Content Using Horizontal Touchscreens
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

Ubiquitous nature, versatility, and durability enabled the paper to maintain its importance in the digital age. It is not surprising there have been numerous attempts to combine paper with digital content. Despite this, several shortcomings persist, for example: these systems still demand users to handle or wear hardware (e.g. smartphones, HMDs) especially problematic when augmenting an activity that primarily happens on the paper (e.g. augmenting reading without disrupting the reading experience per se) or when users are expected to interact with paper for a longer period of time, such as when studying. Furthermore, these applications still require elaborated setups of hardware around the user (e.g. complex projector placement), which can also occlude the augmentation preventing the system from functioning as intended. One way to overcome these limitations is to place the screen emitting digital content and supporting interactivity (e.g. tablet computer or a tabletop display) beneath the paper. The paper thus becomes ``the screen'' on which the additional content is viewed whilst the interactivity is supported using the sensing capabilities of the underlying display. However, in such setups, the paper also acts as a barrier through which light and sensing signal need to pass degrading the quality of the displayed image and input sensing capabilities. This creates an interesting area for further investigation on the characterization of light transmittance through paper and on the exploration of methods to alter such optical properties. For example, could this be done through paper perforation or the addition of commonly available paper inks? Furthermore, no research explores how the presentation of digital content could be used to improve the perceived quality of imagery when viewed through paper. For example, could the movement of digital content such as text improve its resolution of it and make it more readable? On the other hand, no research explored how the conductivity of paper would affect the touch and stylus interaction as the paper is placed on top of a touch screen surface and how to overcome such interference The goal of this thesis is to contribute to the aforementioned gaps in knowledge through the characterisation of paper and ink properties and exploration of methods that could be used to improve interactivity and perceived quality of displayed imagery. All this will lead us to the overreaching goal of designing, constructing, and evaluating a novel Interactive Paper Display in which the light source is placed beneath the paper.

Predavatelj bo na seminarju predstavil dispozicijo svoje doktorske disertacije, ki jo opravlja pod mentorstvom izr. prof. Klena Čopiča-Puciharja in somentorstvom izr. prof. Matjaža Kljuna.

NASLOV: Gentle Stroke with Speech by Robot for Infusing Positive Emotion
----------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

It has been demonstrated that the action of “stroking” has a relaxing effect on the body and mind. However, while some studies have shown the importance of “Gentle stroke with speech,” it has not been clarified how human actually perform the “Gentle stroke with speech” behavior. In this study, we analyzed the “Gentle stroke with speech” behavior with the aim of modeling the “talking and stroking behavior” in a situation in which a person is caring for another person.

----------------------------------------------
PREDAVATELJ: Taishi Sawabe
----------------------------------------------

He received his B.E. adviser, Prof. Ma, from Ritsumeikan University in the field of biomimetics robots. He received a Ph.D. from Adviser Prof. Hagita at the Ambient Intelligence Laboratory at NAIST. His research interest is Biomimetics robots, Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), Human Comfort, and Autonomous Vehicles. Mini projects: TSUNDERE-Interaction, VR Live Agent-Interaction.

----------------------------------------------
NASLOV: Comfort Intelligence for Autonomous Vehicles
----------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

In this presentation, I will introduce an intelligence system that considers passengers’ comfort inside moving autonomous vehicles, which is called Comfort Intelligence (CI). In the research, anxiety reduction is mainly targeted. Anxiety comes from a variety of stress factors. In the field of vehicles, I defined stress in autonomous vehicles as Autonomous Vehicle Stress (AVS) to estimate, classify and consider reduction methods for reducing anxiety in autonomous vehicles. Moreover, anxiety is not only about stress but also has to consider motion sickness, called Autonomous Vehicle Motion Sickness (AVMS) which is mixed with car sickness and VR sickness in the future autonomous vehicle environment. Therefore, this study explains the importance of considering comfort intelligence (CI) by looking at previous research on anxiety, as well as discussing stress and motion sickness perspectives.

Stephanie Furlan je študentka magistrskega študijskega programa Računalništvo in informatika na UP FAMNIT. Trenutno se ukvarja z magistrskim delom, v katerem raziskuje področje interakcije med človekom in droni.

------------------------------------------------------------
NASLOV: Interakcija med droni in človekom
------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

Nedvomno prinaša tehnološki napredek sodobni družbi mnogotere olajšave in ponuja nešteto možnosti za udejanjenje vedno bolj lagodnega življenja. Hkrati odpira uvajanje novih tehnologij celo vrsto ne le praktičnih, temveč tudi etičnih vprašanj, ki jih taka uvedba predpostavlja. Droni so brezpilotni letalniki, katerih oblika in namembnost sta se skozi čas spreminjali. Nastali so kot vojaški pripomočki; ker se njihova izvorna uporaba veže ravno na bojno polje, lahko zasledimo, da se v povprečju sodobni človek na njihovo prisotnost v svojem okolju odziva negativno: gre najbrž le za posledico, kajti večinoma ni seznanjen z dejstvom, da je lahko njihova uporaba tudi koristna za vsakodnevno življenje. Naš namen je bralcu podati nekaj ključnih informacij o številnih možnostih za uporabo dronov tudi s strani povprečnega človeka in to pri vsakodnevnih praktičnih opravilih; v raziskavi bomo dlje korenito utemeljili, kako se človek odraža na prisotnost drona v svoji bližini in z njim interagira, kateri dejavniki vplivajo na njegovo reakcijo, katere tehnične plati lahko izboljšamo ali nadgradimo za njihovo učinkovitejšo uporabnost, predvsem pa njihovo stopnjo sprejemljivosti s strani ljudi. Področje, ki raziskuje interakcijo med človekom in droni, je v znanstvenih krogih poznano s kratico HDI (human-drone interaction) in ravno tej vsebini bomo namenili našo pozornost.

Sead Hrustanović is a second year student of the master programme in Data Science at UP FAMNIT. He will be presenting his Master's thesis topic that he is completing under the supervision of assoc. prof. Marko Tkalcic and assist. prof. Branko Kavšek.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NASLOV: Recognition of eudaimonic and hedonic qualities from song lyrics
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

There have been many studies conducted on emotion recognition based on song lyrics. These studies help recommendation systems in a way that they tend to classify the emotion that is present in a song,and based on that the system recommends a similar song to what the user is already listening to. But what happens if we dig deeper and look further than just at the specific emotion a certain song gives. We can look for the hedonic and eudaimonic qualities within songs, through the song lyrics. We are creating a machine learning  model which will be able to recognize the percentage of hedonism and eudaimonia based on song lyrics.

Domen Vake je študent magistrskega študijskega programa Računalništvo in informatika na UP FAMNIT. Trenutno se ukvarja z magistrskim delom, v katerem raziskuje pošiljanje sporočil v decentraliziranih omrežjih, ki temelji na pseudo naključnosti.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NASLOV: Algoritem za pošiljanje sporočil v decentraliziranih omrežjih, ki temelji na pseudo naključnosti
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

Predstavljen bo inovativen algoritem za diseminacijo sporočil v popolnoma decentraliziranih sistemih. Motivacija za raziskavo prihaja iz področja tehnologije veriženja blokov in razvoja decentraliziranih omrežnih protokolov. Ena izmed ključnih omejitev tovrstnih sistemov je učinkovita diseminacija sporočil, ki imajo s strani sistemskega pogleda lahko naključen izvor. Cilj dobrega algoritma je, da v čim krajšem času vsa vozlišča prejmejo sporočilo. Najbolj razširjena in enostavna implementacija je t.i "flooding algoritem", ki zagotavlja, da bodo vsa vozlišča, ki so povezana v omrežje prejela sporočilo. Algoritmi, ki temeljijo na principu poplavljanja so neučinkoviti. Učinkovitost tovrstnih algoritmov običajno ocenjujemo z mero, ki opisuje koliko krat vozlišče prejme enako sporočilo. Optimalen algoritem bi zagotavljal, da bodo ne glede na izvor sporočila vsa vozlišča zanj izvedela in ga bo vsako vozlišče prejelo natanko enkrat.

NASLOV: In-Network Convolution in grid shaped Sensor Networks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK: 

A Sensor Network consists of spatially distributed nodes deployed in a dynamic environment for specific monitoring purposes. We present the recent development of our use-case sensor network, a smart floor designed to detect falls. The smart floor is a grid-shaped sensor network in which each sensor node is sensing the local force applied on the floor. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is used to recognize if the activity occurring over the smart floor is a person that fell on the floor or just activities of daily living like walking, moving objects, etc. Furthermore, we discuss a technique applicable only to grid-shaped sensor networks for distributed processing of convolutional layers on sensor nodes.

POVZETEK: 

Real world networks can be classified into several categories, namely social networks, information networks, technological networks, biological networks, etc. Citation networks are one of the most famous examples of information networks. Various methods have been proposed to predict the citation count of papers in the future. We propose a novel approach for predicting the citation count of papers up to 10 years in advance by extracting features of nodes (papers) from a temporal citation network. These results can be further generalized to other type of networks.

V ponedeljek, 24. maja 2021, bo ob 16.30 uri prek spletnih orodij na daljavo izvedeno 
predavanje v okviru PONEDELJKOVEGA SEMINARJA RAČUNALNIŠTVA IN INFORMATIKE 
Oddelkov za Informacijske znanosti in tehnologije UP FAMNIT in UP IAM.

ČAS/PROSTOR: 24. maj 2021 ob 16.30 na daljavo

---------------------------------------
PREDAVATELJ: Jan ŠKORJANC
---------------------------------------

Jan Škorjanc je absolvent magistrskega študijskega programa Računalništvo in informatika na UP FAMNIT. Trenutno se ukvarja z magistrskim delom, v katerem raziskuje uspešnost klasifikacijskih algoritmov, ki za svoje delovanje uporabljajo asociacijska pravila.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NASLOV: Uporaba asociacijskih pravil za klasifikacijo
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK: 

Klasifikacija in iskanje asociacijskih pravil sodita med najbolj uporabljene naloge podatkovnega rudarjenja. Za klasifikacijo je značilno, da na učni množici podatkov zgradi model, s katerim napove enega izmed atributov, ki mu pravimo razred. Asociacijska pravila razrednega atributa nimajo, končna množica pravil pa je lahko izpeljana za katerikoli atribut. V seminarju bomo obe področji združili tako, da bomo analizirali delovanje klasifikatorjev, ki uporabljajo asociacijska pravila. Algoritme smo zagnali na podatkovnih zbirkah pridobljenih iz repozitorija UCI ML in pri tem sledili metodologiji CRISP-DM. Cilj raziskave je bil algoritme med seboj primerjati, jih analizirati in določiti njihovo uspešnost.

Nedim Šišić is a first year student of the master programme in Computer Science at UP FAMNIT. He will be presenting his Research seminar topic that he completed under the supervision of prof. Martin Milanič.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NASLOV: Polygonization of connected areas in binary image
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK: 

In image processing, vectorization is the conversion of raster images to vector images. A special kind of vectorization is polygonization, which deals with finding polygonal approximations. Most existing vectorization methods process entire images, which is unnecessary if we are only interested in a single part of an image. We investigate approaches to polygonizing connected areas in binary images. By restricting the scope of vectorization, we reduce its time and memory requirements.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK: 

Proper collection of waste is important for building sustainable and livable cities, but it remains a great challenge for us. The purpose of my research is to find an effective solution approach for the Vehicle Routing Problem in waste management. My work involves the usage of the best known clustering algorithm K-Means.This method performs a single clustering of the vertex set and then determines a vehicle route on each cluster. For optimization, solutions of the clustering algorithm can be extended with different heuristic and metaheuristic methods.

NASLOV: Secure and Privacy-Aware Blockchain Design: Requirements, Challenges and Solutions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

During the last decade, distributed ledger solutions such as blockchain have gained significant attention due to their decentralized, immutable, and verifiable features. However, the public availability of data stored on the blockchain and its link to users may raise privacy and security issues. In some cases, addressing these issues requires blockchain data to be secured with mechanisms that allow on-demand (as opposed to full) disclosure. In this seminar, we give a comprehensive overview of blockchain privacy and security requirements, and detail how existing mechanisms answer them. We provide a taxonomy of current attacks together with related countermeasures. We present a thorough comparative analysis based on various parameters of state-of the-art privacy and security mechanisms, we provide recommendations to design secure and privacy-aware blockchain, and we suggest guidelines for future research.

V ponedeljek, 22. marca 2021, bo ob 16.00 uri prek spletnih orodij na daljavo izvedeno predavanje v okviru PONEDELJKOVEGA SEMINARJA RAČUNALNIŠTVA IN INFORMATIKE Oddelkov za Informacijske znanosti in tehnologije UP FAMNIT in UP IAM.

ČAS/PROSTOR: 22. marec 2021 ob 16.00 na daljavo

------------------------------------------
PREDAVATELJ: Matej FILIPOVIĆ
------------------------------------------

Matej Filipović je študent magistrskega programa 2. stopnje Računalništvo in informatika na UP FAMNIT. Z delom kot razvijalec spletnih strani, sistemski analitik, lastnik izdelka in strokovnjak za tehnične rešitve v agilnih in tradicionalnih podjetjih je imel priložnost razumeti kako deluje razvoj iz različnih zornih kotov. Le-to mu pomaga razumeti širšo sliko in s tem položaj različnih zaposlenih na različnih položajih znotraj podjetij. Pri delu z različnimi Scrum ekipami se je soočil z veliko nepravilne uporabe Scrum ogrodja. Večinoma vodstvo in zaposleni niso razumeli smiselnost uporabe privzete Scrum strukture in so po svoji presoji spreminjali Scrum brez razumevanja posledic. Prav zato se sedaj posveča predstavitvi posledic in predlogom za izboljšave, da bi več ljudi bolje razumelo kaj se lahko zgodi, če posamezen del Scrum ogrodja prilagodijo.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
NASLOV: Spletno orodje za svetovanje pri Scrum-u
---------------------------------------------------------------------
POVZETEK: 

Scrum je agilna metodologija, ki se vse bolj uporablja v poslovnem svetu. Večinoma se uporablja na področju razvoja programske opreme, ki vsebuje zelo kompleksne procese, veliko različnih možnosti implementacije, veliko usklajevanja z različnimi interesnimi skupinami in veliko razumevanja končnega uporabnika. Za uspešno uporabo Scruma je potrebno imeti prilagojeno strukturo organizacije in pravilno postavljene Scrum procese, ki omogočajo tekoče delo na projektih. Veliko podjetij želi uporabljati Scrum, pri tem pa ne upoštevajo vseh dejavnikov in ne prilagodijo okolja ter se zaradi tega lahko uspešnost projektov zmanjša pri uvedbi Scruma. Naš cilj je izdelava spletne strani z integriranim vprašalnikom. Z odgovori iz vprašalnika bomo ugotovili na katerih področjih podjetje nepravilno uporablja Scrum in jim bomo predstavili za specifična področja posledice nepravilne uporabe in predloge za izboljšavo.

His research fields include Artificial Intelligence, Data Mining, Machine Learning. In particular, the sub-fields of Supervised and Unsupervised Learning, Frequent Pattern Discovery, Association Rule Learning, Classification and Clustering.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NASLOV: The effect of distance metric "directness" on class association rules
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POVZETEK: 

Huge amounts of data are being collected and analyzed nowadays. By using the popular rule-learning algorithms, the number of rules discovered on those big datasets can easily exceed thousands. To produce compact and accurate classifiers, such rules have to be grouped and pruned. To group the rules, we need appropriate distance metrics, because distance metrics are very important in clustering applications. To solve the above-mentioned problem, we present new methods (use different distance metrics) that are able to reduce the number of class association rules produced by classical class association rule classifiers, while maintaining an accurate classification model that is comparable to the ones generated by state-of-the-art classification algorithms. We also present how distance metrics are affecting the clustering of class association rules.
Experimental results performed on selected datasets from the UCI ML repository show that our methods are able to learn classifiers containing significantly less rules than state-of-the-art rule learning algorithms on datasets with larger number of examples. On the other hand, classification accuracies of the newly developed methods are not significantly different from state-of-the-art rule-learners on most of the datasets.

NASLOV: Osnove priporočilnih sistemov
-------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:
Priporočilni sistemi so v zadnjem desetletju doživeli razcvet in so čedalje bolj prisotni tudi v našem vsakdanjem življenju. Z uporabo priporočilnih sistemov nam ponudniki določenih storitev lahko prikazujejo vsebine, ki bodo za nas še posebej zanimive, predvsem učinkovito pa pristope priporočilnih sistemov izkoriščajo (spletni) trgovci in ponudniki multimedijskih vsebin (npr. Netflix). Pogledali si bomo osnove priporočilnih sistemov, kaj so, kako delujejo in kakšne so njihove koristi. Pogledali si bomo tudi eno izmed tehnik skupinskega filtriranja.

NASLOV: Instructional Guidance in Extended Reality for Learning
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POVZETEK: 

Experiential learning refers to the process of learning through experience or more specifically "learning through reflection on doing". These experiences can also be simulated in Extended Reality (XR) – interactive environments generated by computer technology combining real and virtual worlds. Such systems have proved in the past as excellent tools for providing guidance to teach different skills and activities. However, there are still many questions that remain to be answered, for instance: How to improve instructional guidance through "personalisation"? How to adapt the guidance to facilitate learners move from one stage to another in the experiential learning cycle? How to design and implement guidance in adaptive learning environments where the learning system needs to take over all or some of the tasks commonly conduct by educators and overall, how personalisation of instructional guidance influence the outcomes of an experiential learning task. To contribute to the above research questions we aim to introduce a comprehensive design space grounded in (i) XR technology, and (ii) theoretical underpinnings of learning and guidance. Then use these dimensions to describe key design decisions in prior work and elucidate existing gaps. Besides, following the design space, we intend to build an adaptive, personalised instructional guidance system to facilitate learners to move spontaneously from one stage to another in the experiential learning cycle.

time. Although the data on terrorist activities are detailed and
relevant, the complexity of the data has rendered the understanding and
analysis difficult. We present a visual analytical approach to
effectively identify related entities. We will be working with The
Global Terrorism Database (GTD), that is an open-source database
including information on domestic and international terrorist attacks
around the world from 1970 through 2017, and now includes more than
180,000 cases.

petek, 25. september 2020 Sead JAHIĆ: Handling tweet opinion by using weighted lexicon and lexicon-based approach

V ponedeljek, 28. septembra 2020, bo ob 16.00 uri prek spletnih orodij na daljavo izvedeno
predavanje v okviru PONEDELJKOVEGA SEMINARJA RAČUNALNIŠTVA IN INFORMATIKE
Oddelkov za Informacijske znanosti in tehnologije UP FAMNIT in UP IAM.

ČAS/PROSTOR: 28. september 2020 ob 16.00 na daljavo

-----------------------------------
PREDAVATELJ: Sead JAHIĆ
-----------------------------------

Sead Jahić is a teaching assistant at University of Primorska, Department of Information Sciences and Technologies.
After receiving High School diploma, he went to University of Tuzla (UNTZ), where in 2012 he graduated as Mathematician (Math Teacher).
His first working experience was teaching assistant at UNTZ, in the field of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science.
The main topic of his research is Sentiment Analysis of languages, where the focus is on developing overall sentiment analysis for West Balkan languages from the same West Slavic group.
The idea is to use different Machine Learning and Deep Learning techniques in sentiment analysis with those languages, and show huge connectivity between them.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NASLOV: Handling tweet opinion by using weighted lexicon and lexicon-based approach
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

In this seminar, we will present an introduction to creating a lexicon with weight values of words from our database. Given that the lexicon is made in such a way that the amount / number of positive and negative words affects the final outcome, we come to the conclusion that at some point, especially in neutral sentiment, we have words whose power can change the polarity of neutral to positive / negative. Therefore, when calculating sentiment, we relied on the weight lexicon created for a given amount of data.
