🗣 A team from the Faculty of Information Technology at the BUT, led by Martin Karafiát, is involved in a unique dialect mapping project. In cooperation with the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and Palacký University in Olomouc, they are creating a website where you can select a region of the Czech Republic and listen to the dialects characteristic of a given place. In addition, the project team is categorising the recordings, which go back to the 1950s, according to various criteria, such as the themes of the narratives.

💬"Our speech group has had great success in the areas of language identification, speaker identification and speech transcription. So the primary idea is to bring these areas together, work with unique data and create a system that will be able to automatically transcribe the audio data, which will be a huge help to researchers at the Academy of Sciences. Especially because the data is specific and the classic transcribers from Google or Microsoft fail," explains Martin Karafiát from FIT BUT.

📱 Mobile app by FIT BUT students awakens the inner artist in children and adults. Brushes, paints, palette, canvas - all these are usually considered basic necessities for artistic expression. Designed for all art lovers, regardless of age, the Po***ck Artify app offers the opportunity to unleash your creativity with a tool that is always at hand - your mobile phone. Its movements are transformed into brush movements on the canvas in the style of American abstract painter Jackson Po***ck. It was created by four students of the Faculty of Information Technology, Peter Zdravecký, Slavomír Svorada, Jakub Zaukolec and Jozef Čásar. The idea to connect the world of aesthetics and technology came from a reflection on human values.

💬"In addition to the basic needs in life, humans need to perceive aesthetic values, which include art. Po***ck Artify allows you to create your own art and share it with others," explains Peter Zdravecký, one of the members of the implementation team.

🎤On Wednesday 31 January, the Economic Committee of the Chamber of Deputies held a seminar on the security threats of artificial intelligence. Kamil Malinka from FIT BUT presented his expert view to a wide audience from the state, commercial and academic spheres as well as representatives of defrauded citizens at the invitation of MP and chairman of the subcommittee on consumer protection. He spoke about deep fake scams. Artificial intelligence is constantly increasing their sophistication.

💬 "These are attacks on biometric systems, identity theft, hate propaganda and more. Artificial intelligence gives attackers "powerful new tools" against which we are relatively powerless", Kamil Malinka explains.

🎓From 14 to 15 February we will welcome Professor Laura Pozzi from the Swiss University USI Lugano to our faculty. She will start her program at FIT with a dissertation review of Ing. Jiří Matyáš: The use of formal methods in approximate calculus.

🎤From 2 pm onwards, she will then give a talk in room E104 on XPAT: A Parametrizable Template for Approximate Logic Synthesis, in which she will discuss her research work on approximate computation, a paradigm for inexact computation with the aim of saving energy, area and/or delay compared to exact computation when the resulting error is bounded.

🤖Artificial intelligence is developing rapidly and almost anyone can create deepfake voice recordings at home and in high quality. Neither humans nor biometric systems can reliably distinguish artificial speech from real speech.

📱The problem of deepfakes was first addressed by Anton Firc from FIT BUT in his master thesis, in which he investigated the resistance of voice biometrics to deepfake voice. "The research showed that although a deepfake recording is easily identifiable among real ones, no one can detect it in a normal conversation," Firc said. All phone and social network users are at risk.

🗣The issue of deepfakes in cybersecurity has also been taken up by the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic, which has launched a call for security research. Phonexia and the research groups Speech@FIT and Security@FIT are collaborating. The aim is to develop tools that can reliably identify man-made recordings.

On 18 December, the gates of our faculty were opened to applicants from among secondary school students. More than 600 of them came from different parts of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In addition to a lecture on studies directed by SU FIT and guided tours of the campus, they were also treated to a taste of science and research at FIT. They had the opportunity to get acquainted with student projects, see specialized laboratories or meet representatives of corporate partners.

We are very pleased with the interest in studying at our faculty and the positive feedback. We hope to continue to meet many of the visitors from the December Open Day starting next academic year.

🥡Whenever you get hungry, you get up and open the fridge - worst case scenario, you order food through the app - that's all you have to worry about.

🔗But behind every bite is a much longer chain that starts months before your lunch and certainly doesn't end with throwing leftovers in the trash.

🚜How can we help agriculture operate more sustainably, more organically and provide people with the best possible nutrition?

These are not the only questions that scientists from BUT, artists and, last but not least, artificial intelligence are asking together in the Hungry EcoCities project.
