Artūras Nakvosas, a doctoral student at Vilnius University's Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics (VU MIF), outperformed rivals from around the world in a prestigious international artificial intelligence (AI) competition organised by the International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB 2026), taking place in Rome.
Improving speech-hearing, speech-understanding and speech-producing technologies requires supercomputers with real computing muscle – machines that can do what an ordinary computer would either do slowly or not manage at all.
PhD student Daniel Daukševič from the Institute of Computer Science, Vilnius University Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics (VU MIF), received the Best Presentation Award at the Doctoral Symposium held in conjunction with the 27th International Symposium on Formal Methods (FM 2026).
On 10 July 2026, the first cohort of the International Master's Programme in Cybersecurity and Cyberintelligence graduated at the University of Minho's School of Engineering in Guimarães, Portugal.
When artificial intelligence (AI) can produce confident-sounding answers in an instant, a conversation with a statistician can feel almost sobering. In science, the goal is not certainty or omniscience – it is doubt.
On 26 June, graduates of the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics at Vilnius University (VU MIF) were awarded their Bachelor's and Master's degrees during a formal graduation ceremony held at St John's Church. The event brought together graduates, their families and friends, members of the VU MIF community, and the Faculty's social partners.
