Measuring how semantics of words change over time improves our understanding of how cultures and perspectives change. Diachronic word embeddings help us quantify this shift, although previous studies leveraged substantial temporally annotated corpora. In this work, we use a corpus of 9.5 million Croatian news articles spanning the past 25 years and quantify semantic change using skip-gram word embeddings trained on five-year periods. Our analysis finds that word embeddings capture linguistic shifts of terms pertaining to major topics in this timespan (COVID-19, Croatia joining the European Union, technological advancements). We also find evidence that embeddings from post-2020 encode increased positivity in sentiment analysis tasks, contrasting studies reporting a decline in mental health over the same period.

Over summer 2024, the world will be looking at Paris to encourage their favorite athletes win the Olympic gold medal. In handball, few nations will fight hard to win the precious metal with speculations predicting the victory for France or Denmark for men and France or Norway for women. However, there is so far no scientific method proposed to predict the final results of the competition. In this work, we leverage a deep learning model to predict the results of the handball tournament of the 2024 Olympic Games. This model, coupled with explainable AI (xAI) techniques, allows us to extract insightful information about the main factors influencing the outcome of each match. Notably, xAI helps sports experts understand how factors like match information or individual athlete performance contribute to the predictions. Furthermore, we integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate human-friendly explanations that highlight the most important factors impacting the match results. By providing human-centric explanations, our approach offers a deeper understanding of the AI predictions, making them more actionable for coaches and analysts.

OpenAI first launched its ChatGPT iOS app across the US in mid-May and now it has made good on its promise to expand to more countries in the "coming weeks" by launching in 11 new countries. The countries are a global mix with iOS users in Albania, Croatia, France, Germany, Ireland, Jamaica, Korea, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Nigeria and the UK now able to access the app. The ChatGPT app for iOS is now available to users in 11 more countries -- Albania, Croatia, France, Germany, Ireland, Jamaica, Korea, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Nigeria, and the UK. The ChatGPT app works and looks like the website does with conversation history synced between the computer and iPhone. ChatGPT Plus subscribers can access GPT-4 through the app and receive faster responses.

Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence agree – Croatia among world's top 5 beach destinations It is no secret that Croatia is one of the best beach destinations in the world with many beaches making lists of the world's best over the years. Now it seems it is not only the subjective opinion of people, but also Artificial Intelligence (AI) agrees. BeachAtlas, a London-based startup that provides information and recommendations for beaches around the world, recently conducted a a fascinating experiment which proved it. BeachAtlas asked Artificial Intelligence tools ChatGPT Midjourney to describe and illustrate the top 20 beach destinations in the world and Croatia came out in 5th place. This is what AI had to say.

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. A military drone that apparently flew all the way from the Ukrainian war zone over three European NATO-member states before crashing in an urban zone of the Croatian capital was armed with an explosive device, Croatia's defense minister said Sunday. Police inspect the site of a drone crash in Zagreb, Croatia, Friday, March 11, 2022. A drone that apparently flew from the Ukrainian war zone crashed overnight on the outskirts of the Croatian capital, Zagreb, triggering a loud blast but causing no injuries, Croatian authorities said Friday.

A drone that apparently flew all the way from the Ukrainian war zone has crashed on the outskirts of the Croatian capital, Zagreb, triggering a loud blast but causing no injuries, according to Croatian authorities. A statement issued on Friday after Croatia's National Security Council meeting said the "pilotless military aircraft" entered Croatian airspace overnight from neighbouring Hungary at a speed of 700 kilometres per hour (430mph) and an altitude of 1,300 metres (4,300 feet). The council said that an official criminal investigation will be launched and that NATO will be informed about the incident. The crash means that the large drone flew at least 560km (350 miles) apparently undetected by air defences in Croatia and Hungary, both members of the Western military alliance. Military experts of The War Zone online magazine said that the aircraft is likely a Soviet-era Tu-141 Strizh reconnaissance drone that must have severely malfunctioned and crossed over the entirety of Hungary and into Croatia from Ukraine.

Typically when we write about food making robots, they fall into either one of two categories: Smaller countertop devices meant for the home, or larger, more industrial robots meant for restaurant kitchens. But a restaurant called Bots&Pots in Zagreb, Croatia, is combining those two ideas and using a number of GammaChef cooking robots to make meals for its customers. GammaChef, also based in Croatia (and also a former Smart Kitchen Summit Startup Showcase finalist), makes the eponymous robot capable of creating one-pot dishes such as stews, risottos and pastas. The device stores ingredients, dispenses them into the pot, and stirs the food as it cooks. According to Total Croatia News, customers at Bots&Pots choose their meal via touchscreen at one of five GammaChefs inside the restaurant and they'll be able to see their meal prepared.

Artificial intelligence offers a way to solve that problem.

January 25, 2020 - The AI revolution is upon us. How much is Croatia lagging behind, and are we going to do something about it? But even if we start those processes, where would we be in comparison to the rest of the world? What are other countries already doing and what should we be aware of? Fortunately, a fear of missing out is spreading around the globe or at least among some countries.

Culture, Creativity and Artificial Intelligence will be discussed at an expert seminar in Rijeka, Croatia on 12-13 October 2018. The seminar "E-relevance of Culture in the Age of AI", organised in the framework of the Croatian Chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, will offer sector-specific input to the Council of Europe's work on artificial intelligence. In the presence of the Minister of Culture of Croatia, Ms Nina Obuljen Koržinek, experts and policy makers from the Steering Committee for Culture, Heritage and Landscape (CDCPP) will discuss orientations for working towards a culture of responsible innovation, empowering citizens and laying the foundations for the emergence of a modern Leonardo da Vinci.
