Today, the Yandex Education student camp on NLP (Natural Language Processing) started at the Novosibirsk State University. It is attended by 100 students from IT departments of universities from all over the country. In two weeks, the participants will master key approaches to text processing, as well as work with large language models BERT, GPT and YandexGPT (used for content analysis and generation) in practice. At the end of the student camp, students will defend team projects that they can add to their own portfolios. Participants will teach artificial intelligence to structure information, find contradictions in texts, search for data in complex documents where text, tables and graphs are mixed, and also improve the reasoning skills of language models.

Minister of Digital Development and Communications of the Novosibirsk Region Sergey Tsukar emphasized: The Novosibirsk Region, as the capital of IT personnel, always supports the holding of various educational events on digital topics and is happy to host IT students from all over the country.

— In the Novosibirsk Region, 10 universities and 14 colleges train IT specialists. NSU is our reliable partner. The guys had a chance to study at one of the best universities — world-class and at one of the leading scientific centers of Russia — Akademgorodok. This is a unique opportunity — to get concentrated, fundamental knowledge in the field of artificial intelligence in two weeks, which usually takes months to study. Artificial intelligence is no longer just a trend, it is our reality today. I thank Yandex for such relevant, interesting, free educational projects, — noted Sergey Tsukar.

NSU has been cooperating with Yandex for many years. Based on Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of NSU A master's program was opened with the support of the School of Data Analysis – "Applied Machine Learning and Big Data". Many graduates of the program work in large IT companies.

— It is an honor for us that such an event is held at Novosibirsk University. The student camp is an intensive course in IT areas, which is held by Yandex Education together with the leading universities of our country. Of course, our university, which is located in the very center of Akademgorodok, is one of such universities. I hope that these two weeks will be truly intensive for you, there will be intense work. There was a very big competition for the student camp, the best were selected. You will leave here not only with new acquaintances, friends, new impressions, but also with new knowledge. You will be taught by experts from Yandex and our university. I think this will help you in your professional career, and in some time, I am sure, we will be proud of many of you, — said the rector of NSU, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Fedoruk.

The first week of the student camp is devoted to getting acquainted with key approaches to NLP. Participants will understand the architecture of transformers (models that use the attention mechanism for fast learning), study methods of adaptation and interpretation of models, and master the tasks of classification, generation and error tolerance. They will also study advanced technologies: attention mechanisms, autoregressive models, multimodality and RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation). In the second week, students will focus on practice: they will work with data analysis and the final defense of a project that solves real problems at the intersection of science and industry.

Kirill Barannikov, Head of Strategic Development of Higher Education at Yandex Education, notes:

— We focus on new formats of education, and student camps are one of them. Full-time intensive programs are open to students from all over Russia. They provide not only relevant knowledge, access to big tech technologies, but also the opportunity to meet practicing industry experts and teachers from the country's strongest universities. In addition, in two weeks, participants have time to put together a full-fledged project for their portfolio and immerse themselves in a new socio-cultural environment – the city and university where the student camp is taking place. Almost 1,200 students from 200 universities applied for the NLP program at NSU – the competition was about 12 people per place. The selected participants will study natural language processing technologies, which are used today in various fields: from developing voice assistants to analyzing big data.

"Projects of the Future": IPMET Successfully Defended Final Qualification Theses

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade successfully defended their final qualification works "Project as a Final Qualification Work". 21 projects were completed in a special format: nine complex and 12 group projects, in which 57 final-year students took part (48 undergraduate, nine specialist and master's students).

A group final qualifying work is a coordinated development or research carried out by a team of students united by one object and common problems. A comprehensive final qualifying work is a joint development or research carried out by a team of students within the framework of a common topic.

Since 2023, our institute has been actively and successfully implementing projects for the preparation and defense of final qualification works of bachelors, specialists and masters commissioned by industrial partners, government agencies and commercial organizations in the format of “Project as a final qualification work”. A special feature of our projects is that they are all carried out by multipotential teams consisting of students from different educational programs, and in most cases, from different fields of study. I would like to note the great interest on the part of students: they not only demonstrate qualifications in their field, but also acquire new related knowledge and skills, including in teamwork, – notes Vladimir Shchepinin, Director of IPMEIT.

In 2023, the institute completed three group final qualification works commissioned by partners: Power Machines — Leningrad Metal Plant, TGK-1, and TD-Materik. Last year, 13 project final qualification works were presented (four integrated and nine group). The list of customers, in addition to industrial enterprises, included representatives of retail and the public sector.

This year, IPMET has carried out a lot of preliminary work on interaction with potential customers and received requests for projects to be carried out by multipotential teams from more than 20 employer representatives. These are Eurostil, the Center for Competence in Tourism and Hospitality, the ASI All-Russian Accelerator for Industrial Tourism, MKT, the Krasnogvardeisky District Center for Scientific and Technical Information, the Rosfinmonitoring Regional Office for the Northwestern Federal District, and the PlaceMarket restaurant chain.

Significant contributions were made by the directors of the higher schools of IPMEiT Olga Kalinina, Dmitry Rodionov, Olga Voronova, Olga Nadezhina, as well as those responsible for project activities in the structural divisions.

Projects developed and implemented by students allow for a significant expansion of resource capabilities. Students actively generate ideas, exchange knowledge and experience, and improve their teamwork skills. They need to constructively resolve disagreements and make decisions collectively to achieve results. All this is extremely important for a specialist entering active working life, emphasized Yulia Akimova, Head of the Center for Team Building and Project Solutions at IPMET.

All projects received high marks from customers, and final qualifying works were awarded “excellent” marks by state examination committees.

The Institute implements defenses of final qualification works in various formats, providing high-quality methodological and organizational support. Our team of managers, consultants and mentors in close cooperation with qualified customers are always ready to help student teams, competently organize their work and focus on the result, – emphasized the Deputy Director of IPMET for educational and methodological work Anna Chernikova.

Most of the students participating in “projects like final qualifying work” are already employed or have received offers from customers.
