]]Professional growth of our colleagues
Tomáš Vinař obtained from the minister of education of SR a prize in category "Personality in science and technology under 35" for his work (article).Ľubica Beňušková will give a talk, within the inauguration procedure, on January 10, 2011, with the topic on Computational neurogenetics - a new paradigm in artificial intelligence
(oznam).

]]PhD Defenses in Computer Science
Further series of PhD defenses of theses in Computer Science, and Informatics Education will be taking place in November. Doctoral students, and interested visitors are welcome
]]
]]Seminar with prof. Brendan McCane
We invite you to the talk "Characterizing Smooth Shapes" of prof. McCane, head of the Department of Computer Science at University in Otago, Dunedin, New Zeeland.Abstrakt: In much of the biological literature, shape is represented by finite sets of points based on biological landmarks. This is the basis for most of morphometrics (statistics of shape) and comes from the underlying notion of biological homology. However, there are many shapes for which there are no easily definable landmarks, yet it is still meaningful to want to measure how such shapes change across a population. In this talk, I will introduce some recent work I have been doing on matching and characterizing smooth shapes in two dimensions.

]]OCR software for mathematical documents - InftyReader
Seminar with presentation of the InftyReader program. This may be of interest to everybody who works with mathematical texts.OCR software for mathematical documents - InftyReader
prof. Masakazu Suzuki, Kyushu University
Friday, February 19th 2010, 10:30, room I-9
Abstract:
"InftyReader" is OCR software developed in Kyushu University to convert scanned images or PDF of mathematical documents into various "editable" form documents:
XML, LaTeX sources, MathML, Word documents, etc. It segments the page images automatically into figures, tables, and text areas, and then recognizes ordinary
texts and mathematical formulae in the text areas by using different OCR engines. Recognized results can be edited easily by using WYSIWYG authoring tool
"InftyEditor" comparing the results with the original images.
In the talk, after brief description of our Infty system, I will give demonstrations of the newest version of InftyReader and InftyEditor. A newly developed
authoring tool for mathematical multimedia documents of DAISY standard format will also be presented.[[

]]Seminar: Dr. Susanne Reiterer (Department of Neuroradiology, University of Tübingen, Germany) - Language talent: preliminary results from a large scale psycholinguistic and brain imaging study
In recent years we can observe an increasing interest into investigating individual differences in language learning capacity (talent or aptitude) with brain imaging techniques such as, in the first place, functional and anatomical magnetic resonance imaging. We performed a large-scale series of investigations of 130 individually gifted second language learners, scrutinizing their productive and perceptive second language capacities, their psychological profiles (e.g. personality), as well as their brains, by performing anatomical and functional MRI scans. In my talk I will try to give an overview of the preliminary results of our large sample studied.[[
