The annual ITS AWESOME conference for graduate students from the Faculty of Information Technology and the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics was held at Novosibirsk State University on December 20. Participants were given the opportunity to present papers in English and present research they had been working on for nearly two years. Sixty-seven graduate students participated in the conference: 10 Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics (MMF) of NSU and 57 s Faculty of Information Technology (FIT) of NSU.
The conference was organized into three sections: "Systems on a Chip, Telecommunications and Computing Systems," "Intelligent Systems and Information Technology," and "Data Analysis, Machine Learning and Their Applications."
The presentations focused primarily on information technology, systems-on-chip, artificial intelligence, and neural networks. This year, the interdisciplinary section devoted to the application of IT in biology, chemistry, physics, and medicine was significantly expanded.
Master's students had the opportunity to discuss their research with English teachers and other participants both during workshops and informally. A student organizing committee was responsible for the preparation and execution of the conference.
Following the work of the sections, the best reports were awarded with commemorative gifts.
In the "Systems on a Chip, Telecommunications, and Computing Systems" category, the best presentations were presented by Pavel Bortnikov (FIT) on "Reading, Quality Control, and Wireless Transmission of EEG Data from Microcontroller Systems," Dmitry Bondar (FIT) on "Research and Development of Dedicated Sessions in Postgres Pro Enterprise," and Anton Vlasenko (FIT) on "Development of a Computer Vision-Based Tomato Recognition Module for a Greenhouse Harvesting Robot." In the "Intelligent Systems and Information Technology" category, the best presentations were presented by Elena Melnikova (FIT) on "A Hybrid Approach to Extracting Structured Knowledge from Technical Documents Using Ontologies and Large Language Models," Anna Shatrova (FIT) on "Development of Algorithms for Assessing the Semantic Similarity of Keywords in Conditions of Limited Data," and Ahsan Shakoor (MMF) on "Reconstruction of Fetal Brain MRI Images: A Synthetic Approach." In the category "Data Analysis, Machine Learning and Applications," the best presentations were given by Vladimir Kharchenko (FIT) on "Application of a Hybrid Quantum Algorithm with Graph Coding to the Max-Cut Problem," Polina Karitskaya (FIT) on "Development of Deep Learning Methods for Classifying Chromothripsis Events in Human Cancer Cell Genomes," and Alexander Sartakov (FIT) on "Architecture of a Low-Latency Multimodal Touch Interface for Next-Generation Prosthetics."
This year's conference was sponsored by SHIFT and YADRO. SHIFT provided branded merchandise for the awards ceremony for the best speakers, and YADRO provided financial support for coffee breaks for participants.
Anton Vlasenko, FIT NSU:
"It was a special experience for me—it was the first time I presented a paper about my development in English. It was really interesting to answer questions in English and feel how much easier it is to formulate my thoughts in person. It's a great experience that will definitely help me present at international conferences in English in the future."
Vladimir Kharchenko, FIT NSU:
"I was pleased that the organizers created a great atmosphere and took a responsible approach to the event. The costumed format made it less challenging to perform in front of other people, which is usually a daunting task for many. The gift for the performance was also a joy, of course."
