Institute of Computing Science

The award was presented to the researcher of the Faculty of Computing and Telecommunications during the Intelligent Development Forum, which took place in Uniejów.

Prof. Agnieszka Ławrynowicz conducts research related to artificial intelligence. The project realized with the support of the Norwegian Funds and the National Center for Research and Development “TAISTI – artificial intelligence technologies for recommending substitutes for ingredients in cooking recipes” brought her recognition.

The goals of the project are the following:

• integrating knowledge and data resources on recipes and their ingredients in order to use artificial intelligence algorithms,
• developing machine learning-based methods to recommend potential substitutes for ingredients and predict their properties,
• developing knowledge-based (logical inference) methods for selecting and explaining target ingredients and their adequate substitutes,
• a proof-of-concept system for recommending component substitutes in order to integrate and demonstrate the developed technologies.

The dignity and insignia of the L’Ordre des Palmes Académiques were granted to professor Roman Słowiński, the academic of the Institute of Computer Science at the Poznan University of Technology, as well as the vice-president of the Polish Academy of Sciences, the Prime Minister of the French Republic. The award ceremony was held at the Embassy of the French Republic in Warsaw. The decorations were made by the French ambassador to Poland, Frédéric Billet. In his speech, the ambassador emphasized the outstanding merits of those honoured in the development of Franco-Polish relations in the academic and scientific fields. Together with prof. Roman Słowiński, the order was also awarded to prof. Jerzy Duszyński, president of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

Prof. Roman Slowinski has received the title of “Officier dans l’Ordre des Palmes Académiques“, which is one of the oldest civil distinctions in France, as it had been established by Napoléon Bonaparte in 1808. Since 1955 this rank has been awarded by the French Prime Minister.

Congratulations, we wish you further success!

We are pleased to announce that prof. Jacek Blazewicz, one of the most important members of our group, was distinguished by Polish Bioinformatics Society and granted the title of Honorary Member together with prof. Wieslaw Nowak (from Torun) and prof. Jerzy Tiuryn (from Warsaw). It is worth noting nobody had received this title for 15 years.

Faculty of Computing and Telecommunications and the city of Poznan invite to the public lecture titled “Chemistry and Evolution in RNA“, which will be given by prof. Eric Westhof from University of Strassburg in France. The lecture will take place on October 7th at 11:30 am in the Room 8 in Poznan University of Technology Lecture Centre.
