In today’s context, where companies are increasingly pushed to integrate Artificial Intelligence solutions into their processes, secure and responsible data management is a non-negotiable requirement. Many generative tools currently available operate on external infrastructures, exposing sensitive information to remote servers and creating dependencies on closed or paid models. For many...

3. Fine-tuning Large Language Models for Satellite Communications Knowledge Management: Challenges and Impacts

Prof. Ioannis Christou (American College of Greece)

10/11/2025, 13:30

The application of large language models (LLMs) to specialized fields, such as Satellite Communications (SatCom), presents unique challenges due to the extensive and cutting-edge knowledge required. We present a fine-tuning approach for adapting 7-billion-parameter instructed LLMs (Llama-3v and Mistral) to SatCom, using a proprietary corpus sourced from the European Space Agency (ESA)...

4. AI Agents and LLMs for Modern Cyber Defense

Dr Jani Dugonik (University of Maribor)

10/11/2025, 13:50

Recent advances in artificial intelligence have transformed the landscape of cybersecurity research, particularly through intelligent agent-based simulations and large language models (LLMs). Traditional cybersecurity datasets are often static and outdated, limiting the capacity to train adaptive AI systems. To address this, we developed a dynamic synthetic simulation framework that transforms...

5. LLM Steerable Computer Vision Pipeline

Prof. Janez Perš (University of Ljubljana)

10/11/2025, 14:10

Foundation models plus ample compute make many “moderate” vision tasks solvable with minimal custom code. This talk introduces an LLM-steerable pipeline that compiles a brief YAML spec into end-to-end segmentation, zero-shot classification, and optional geometry checks, executed on GPU clusters.

A remote multimodal LLM (e.g., ChatGPT) generates the configuration based on sample images and...

6. Uncovering Archaeological Sites from Aerial Imagery Using Vision Transformers

Dr Daniel Canedo (University of Aveiro)

10/11/2025, 14:30

Archaeological site detection is entering a new era thanks to advances in remote sensing and artificial intelligence. Archaeological sites such as hillforts often have irregular and complex shapes, making them challenging to identify using conventional computer vision methods. Multimodal approaches that combine LiDAR-derived LRM images with aerial orthoimagery improve detection accuracy, but...

7. Enhancing Optical Character Recognition with Large Language Models

Mr Spiros Millas (The Cyprus Institute)

10/11/2025, 14:50

This presentation explores how Large Language Models (LLMs) enhance Optical Character Recognition (OCR) pipelines through contextual text correction, document understanding, semantic labeling, and information extraction. It will also highlight real-world use cases such as automated document processing, invoice and receipt parsing, identity verification, and multilingual text recognition.
