AI Tool to Facilitate Mineral Processing Developed at ITMO
Students of ITMO’s Computer Technologies Laboratory have created a series of AI models for processing of clumped texture images. AI models tend to have a hard time “seeing” the borders of objects – for instance, telling one type of mineral from another – but now they can label 600 images in an hour. The new open-source solution can be used to measure the size and distribution of various objects (granulometry) in a variety of fields: examples include precious and colored metals in mining, granular materials and crystals in food or agricultural industries, as well as oil refining.

Automate Your Coding with OSA – ITMO-Made AI Assistant for Researchers
The recently unveiled Open Source Advisor (OSA) is an LLM-based tool that can “tidy up” open-source research code repositories to make them more accessible to other research teams. Developed by the staff of ITMO University, OSA can help replicate experiments or launch algorithms described in publications. By facilitating the systematization of research data, the tool increases the value of scientific papers. OSA will be equally beneficial to coders and to those wishing to make sense of data acquired by other research teams.

Rose or White: ITMO Researchers’ New Algorithm Uses Bubbles to Gauge Wine Quality and Glass Type
Scientists at ITMO University have developed a method of assessing the type of sparkling wine with 84% accuracy – and the type of wine glass with 82% accuracy. The researchers were the first to use machine learning in order to analyze wine based on the shape and size of bubbles caused by ultrasound. This invention will be helpful in providing automated, quick, and inexpensive quality control in industrial and lab conditions. The results of the study were published in RSC Advances and supported by grant No. FSER-2024-0003 of the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

New Digital Testing Ground by ITMO Developers Can Assess AI Systems Even in Extreme Conditions
Scientists at ITMO University have developed a next-gen software product for testing and assessing the efficiency of new AI systems. Polioks can analyze a system’s potential, predict the cost of further training, and evaluate its performance, including in harsh conditions. Moreover, the software compares AI products with similar solutions available in open repositories or its own library. Compared to previous methods, the solution by ITMO developers cuts the time required to prepare for comprehensive testing from a few days to a few minutes.
