  • 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.

  • ITMO Researchers Develop Analog GPS System for Autonomous Systems

    VOSTOK, a local navigation system for autonomous systems, has been unveiled at ITMO. Useful in areas with poor or non-existent GPS signal, the technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, unmanned aircraft employed on icebreakers along the Northern Sea Route, or drones delivering groceries to the countryside. Compared to its counterparts, the system can gauge its position and speed faster and with more precision: the coordinates are calculated with an accuracy of up to four millimeters and speed – with an accuracy of up to two centimeters per second.

  • Automated Discoveries: Digital Assistant for Chemists Developed at ITMO

    Scientists at ITMO University have created the digital assistant ChemCoScientist, which automates chemical research and assists in routine, time-consuming tasks. The robot can generate new and refine existing chemical compounds and synthesis algorithms, as well as predict chemical properties and analyze research. Chemists do not require programming skills to use ChemCoScientist; all they need to do is make a request in the chat. The assistant will accelerate and simplify the development of novel medicines and materials in research, pharmaceutical industry, and the chemical sector.
