EU Withdraws Three Technology Regulations

The European Commission announced on February 11, 2025, the withdrawal of three significant technology regulation proposals, including those on standard essential patents (SEP), artificial intelligence liability, and consumer data protection. Behind the decision are disagreements between EU member states and legislators, as well as intensive industry lobbying. Among the withdrawn

Benchmark-based Evaluation of Language Models and Their Limits

Benchmarking is the practice of evaluating artificial intelligence models on a standard suite of tasks under controlled conditions. In the context of large language models (LLMs), benchmarks provide a common yardstick for measuring capabilities such as factual knowledge, reasoning, and conversational coherence. They emerged because the proliferation of new models

Principles and Methods of Model Evaluation

Creating effective large language models (LLMs) involves two critical stages: pre-training and fine-tuning. These stages enable models to progress from capturing broad linguistic knowledge to excelling in specific tasks, powering applications such as automated translation, sentiment analysis, and conversational agents. Rigorous evaluation and performance measurement ensure LLMs meet general and

Artificial Intelligence in Hungary: Resources Are Available, But What's Missing?

Miklós Sebők, in an interview with HVG, discussed the possibilities and challenges of artificial intelligence development in Hungary. He emphasized that although AI is gaining increasing strategic importance globally, Hungary is not yet fully utilizing the regulatory and development opportunities provided by the EU. In the interview, Sebők emphasized that

Researchers at the University of Szeged developed the first manually validated and reproducible Python error collection

Python is one of today's most popular programming languages, yet few bug repositories contain actual, reproducible bugs. PyBugHive fills this gap as the first manually validated database containing reproducible Python bugs. The first version of the database contains 149 bugs from 11 open-source projects, providing researchers with the

Fine-tuning: Adapting General Models for Specific Tasks and Applications

The evolution of machine learning has led to the development of powerful general models, such as BERT, GPT-3, and Vision Transformers, which have transformed artificial intelligence applications across diverse domains. These models, pre-trained on extensive datasets like Common Crawl for natural language processing or ImageNet for computer vision, demonstrate exceptional
