Alen Salkanović presented a paper titled “Floating Hierarchical Menus for Swipe-Based Navigation on Touchscreen Mobile Devices”, at the 22nd International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (HCII 2020). As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference could not be held physically (originally scheduled for Copenhagen, Denmark) and was transformed to a virtual format instead. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-49062-1_34

A supervised machine learning approach to a predictive model of nanoscale friction
Modelling of nanoscale friction presents a long-lasting challenge. In fact, while there are several generalised models that provide good results for macro- and micro-scale friction, due to the complex concurrent physicochemical interactions in nanoscale contacts, when modelling nanoscale friction there is a clear lack of reliable predicting tools. The modelling methodology proposed in this work […]
Bottom-Up Design Approach for OBOC Peptide Libraries
AI RESIDENCIES
The Goethe-Institut engages in intercultural exchange and interdisciplinary discourse within a global context. With the AI Residency Programme we aim to initiate both a dialogue between art and technology and a dialogue reaching beyond the borders of European countries. The programme aims to promote artistic access to developments in the field of artificial intelligence. Art […]
Evaluation of Design Storms and Critical Rainfall Durations for Flood Prediction in Partially Urbanized Catchments
This study investigates and compares several design storms for flood estimation in partially urbanized catchments. Six different design storms were considered: Euler II, Alternating Block Method, Average Variability Method, Huff’s curves, and uniform rainfall. Additionally, two extreme historical storms have been included for comparison. A small, ungauged, partially urbanized catchment in Novigrad (Croatia) was chosen […]

The scientific article “Thermal Object Detection in Difficult Weather Conditions Using YOLO” by M. Kristo, M. Ivašić-Kos, M. Pobar was published in journal IEEE Access, 2020, vol. 8, 125459-125476, DOI: 10.1109/ACCESS.2020.3007481 and is available online.
Deep Learning for Feature Extraction in Remote Sensing: A Case-Study of Aerial Scene Classification
Scene classification relying on images is essential in many systems and applications related to remote sensing. The scientific interest in scene classification from remotely collected images is increasing, and many datasets and algorithms are being developed. The introduction of convolutional neural networks (CNN) and other deep learning techniques contributed to vast improvements in the accuracy […]
Multilayer Framework for the Information Spreading Characterization in Social Media during the COVID-19 Crisis (InfoCoV)
Communication through social media has been gaining importance in responses to major crises, such as COVID-19. In emergency situations, there is an urgent need to rely on trustworthy information. On the other side, we are all witnessing a huge amount of misinformation (fake news, conspiracy theories) also spreading on social media, especially during a crisis. […]
Comparison of Entropy and Dictionary Based Text Compression in English, German, French, Italian, Czech, Hungarian, Finnish, and Croatian
The rapid growth in the amount of data in the digital world leads to the need for data compression, and so forth, reducing the number of bits needed to represent a text file, an image, audio, or video content. Compressing data saves storage capacity and speeds up data transmission. In this paper, we focus on […]
Does AI Brain Implant Compromise Agency? Examining Potential Harms of Brain-Computer Interfaces on Self-Determination
Novel generations of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technologies operated by AI, in particular, predictive neurotechnologies, offer enormous potential to support implanted individuals’ decisions and capacities for self-determination, such as empowering agential cognitive capacities. This chapter examines the ethics of predictive AI BCI, especially the question of potential risks of harm associated with having a predictive AI […]
