The Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (AIRi) is a nexus for collaborative research at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. AIRi@UTCN promotes excellence in AI theory and practice, bringing together researchers across UTCN around a vision of open collaboration. Our work spans interdisciplinary research, AI literacy across disciplines, and impact through business and public co-creation partnerships.
AIRi@UTCN was pleased to welcome the delegation of the Committee on European Affairs of the Chamber of Deputies, led by Deputy Ovidiu-Vasile Cîmpean, Vice-Chair of the Committee, during its working visit to Cluj-Napoca, held in the context of the public debate on the future EU budget for 2028–2034.
AIRi is happy to announce the completion of this milestone: UTCN's Center of Immersive Technologies for Education, funded through eUT4ALL (e-PNRR: 1277457265) and hosted by AIRi, is now up and running! More updates to come! https://lnkd.in/d7_-yt4Y
Solar physics offers a uniquely rich and multi-scale environment for data science, combining high-resolution imaging, time-series analysis, and complex physical modelling. Modern missions, such as Solar Dynamics Observatory, continuously produce terabytes of data per day, including multi-wavelength images, Doppler velocity fields, and magnetic maps of the Sun. From a data science perspective, solar datasets are inherently high-dimensional, spatio-temporal, and physics-constrained, making them ideal for machine learning applications such as convolutional neural networks for image recognition, recurrent or transformer models for time-series forecasting, and unsupervised methods for pattern discovery. At the same time, they challenge purely data-driven approaches, as physical interpretability remains essential—for example, linking learned features to magnetic structures, energy transport, or wave dynamics.
