3 From the Director The Institute of Computer Science is one of the very few academic institutions in Poland with the longest tradition in computer research & development, as well as in education. The history of the Institute goes back to the year 1953 when the Division of Communications and Radio Equipment was established at the Faculty of Communications, which was the origin of the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology. In 1960, the Division has designed and built one of the first industrially produced electronic computers in Poland, called UMC1. Teaching in the field of computing and computers has started early in 1960ies, so that the first few M.Sc. degrees in Computer Science were granted in From then on, the regular curricula in the field have been proposed. Currently the Institute is composed of four Divisions: Artificial Intelligence (since fall 2016 when the Division was acquired with 8 scientists and 8 PhD students), Computer Graphics, Information Systems, and Software Engineering and Computer Architecture. In year 2016 the Institute has joined the Informatics Europe the academic and research community in Information and Computer Sciences that gathers over 100 institutions from the EU. The main activities of the Institute of Computer Science are focused on teaching of undergraduate and graduate computer science students, as well as doing research in the field of computer science. Main areas of teaching and research include artificial intelligence, computer graphics, information systems, data and text mining, bioinformatics, computer systems architectures, dependable computing and software engineering. This Annual Report summarizes both types of the activities of the Institute in the year We have graduated 90 BSc students and 60 MSc students. We are particularly proud of our PhD students six of them have been granted PhD degree. We have worked on 29 projects. In particular, we have been involved in 3 projects funded by the National Scientific Center (NCN), 2 project funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, and 20 projects funded by commercial partners. Our cooperation with industry involves not only the Institute s academic staff but also our PhD and MSc students, who participate in the research projects. We have continued research on intelligent tools for the University Knowledge Base, which is now in regular use by all the faculties of our University, and additionally by other 16 licenced institutional users. The outcome of the research run by the Institute staff is well reflected in our publication record. In year 2016 our staff have authored and co-authored 102 publications, (one co-authored book, two co-edited books, and 99 papers in international scientific journals, conference proceedings, and book chapters chapters). Additionally, 3 Institute s reports have been issued. The research achievements of the Institute s staff are well recognized in the academic community.

Scholarship for the outstanding young scientist (Stypendium naukowe dla wybitnego młodego naukowca). Head of the project: TOMASZ GAMBIN, PhD. 19 December November Implemented. 4.3 Projects granted by the National Science Centre NCN (Research) [Pro7] [Pro8] PerM-Cloud, ALgorithms and methods of processing big genomic data repositories in computing cloud environment towards the personalized medicine (PerM-Cloud, Algorytmy i metody przetwarzania dużych zbiorów danych genomicznych w środowiskach chmur obliczeniowych na potrzeby personalizowanej medycyny). Head of the project No. UOM- 2014/13/B/NZ2/01248 OPUS : MICHAŁ OKONIEWSKI, PhD. Abstract: The application of cloud computing brings in the additional benefit of scaling up the genomic calculations, that have been recently a bottleneck over the huge amount of short-read data from the next-generation sequencers (NGS). Some of the proof of concept of genomic cloud computing have been already done and published also by the members of the project team. The SparkSeq software can process the genomic data on average 8 times faster than the academic competitors, who published their solutions in the beginning of The genomic cloud computing will require also a new set of standards for data storage, genome alignment description and processing. Probably the main initiative in this area is ADAM, a consortium of University of California Berkeley, Broad Institute and Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Those efforts will be closely monitored within the project in order to propose the compatible solutions on the level of primary (alignment) and secondary (statistical) data analysis. The scope of PerM-Cloud will focus on the three areas of genomics, which are also addressed in the research of the Medical Genomics group, led by Professor Płoski. Those areas are: *cloud-based optimization of the variant calling in DNA genotyping, *complete and efficient cloud-based data processing pipelines for RNA sequencing, *cloud-based statistical algorithms and methods for DNA methylation studies with the NGS. 04 March 03 March Implemented. Collective project. Methods and algorithms of discovering novel phenomena in genomes and transcriptomes with the statistical analysis of nucleotide precision data from next generation sequencers (Metody i algorytmy odkrywania nowych zjawisk w genomach i transkryptomach za pomocą statystycznej analizy danych z nukleotydową precyzją pochodzących z sekwencerów nowej generacji). Head of the project No. UMO-2014/13/N/ST6/01843 PRELUDIUM : MAREK WIEWIÓRKA, MSc. Abstract: My research hypothesis states that such novel statistics can be defined and applied successfully to finding novel expression and differential expression regions within the groups of treatments in

40 40 [Pro9] Research and Education Projects an RNA sequencing experiment. This will be achieved by calculating the various nucleotide-level statistics of the expression level, described as the coverage of reads function defined over all the nucleotides in the reference genome. The coverage function may be calculated by a pileup or similar operation over a set of read alignments, that come typically from a mapping software. 04 March March Implemented. Game theoretical approach to determining a crucial nodes in the networks (Teoriogrowe podejście do wykrywania kluczowych wierzchołków w sieciach). Head of the project No. UMO-2013/09/N/ST6/04095 PRELUDIUM : PIOTR L. SZCZEPAŃSKI, MSc. Abstract: In this project we want to create a new model based on coalitional game theory, where each coalition of nodes has individual occurrence probability. This new approach will for example allow to examine different probability distribution of nodes failures. Additionally, we want to define a new family of centralities based on the generalized coalitional games. While the models based on coalitional games can capture simultaneous incidents occurring within networks, the generalized model will allow to capture cascading incidents. Another topic studded in this project is Owen value and its application in analysing social networks with community structure. 21 March March Implemented. 4.4 Other projects R & D Projects [Pro10] Classification of breast thermograms and detection the pathological changes (Klasyfikacja obrazów termograficznych piersi oraz wykrywanie zmian w takich obrazach). Head of the project: ROBERT NOWAK, PhD, DSc. Project for BRASTER S.A. Abstract: The task of this project is development of the software that improve the quality and performance of algorithms for automatic thermal image interpretation and algorithms to detect changes in the breast thermography images. 01 December December Implemented. [Pro11] System for the measurements of size and shapes of small particles, analysis, archiving and visualization of the measurement results (Konwergentny system do wykonania pomiarów wielkości i kształtu czastek, archiwizacji, analizy oraz wizualizacji wyników pomiarów). Head of the project: ILONA BLUEMKE, PhD, DSc. Project for Kamika Instruments. Abstract: The aim of the project is to develop two types of mini 3D devices to determine the shape and particle size from 500 nm to 2000 microns in air and from 200 nm to 600 microns in liquid. The principle of operation of the designed analyzers is based on perpendicular setting two individual devices for measuring microparticles and adding a third measurement according to the measured time of particles moving in the measurement zone. This method produces three results describing three dimensions of particles. The measurement zone, consisting of two "parallel" light beams, is limited by diaphragm arranged perpendicularly to the movement of the particles. The measurement results describe the shape of particles according to the Zingg classification and/or any other. The results of the particle granulation distribution may be provided by the spherical, sieving, sedimentation calibration. Measurement can be carried out in air or in liquid. The project is divided into four parts. In the first part the method

41 Annual Report 2016 of the Institute of Computer Science 41 of measuring microparticles used by Kamika will be studied and the algorithm in the version which can be implemented in a computer program will be prepared. The formats of files written by measurement device will be also studied. The prototype module reading and analyzing data will be developed as well as the general system architecture. In the second stage the system architecture will be precisely described and testing methods proposed. A special system supporting the production process (testing, execution) will also be designed and implemented. In the third stage modules controlling the measurements will be developed. Last stage is devoted to research. The effectiveness and reliability of the system will be examined with the usage of the test platform. 07 February September Collective project. Implemented. [Pro12] Efficient and accurate nearest-neighbor search for binary local feature descriptors (Wydajne i precyzyjne algorytmy wyszukiwania najbliższych sąsiadów dla binarnych deskryptorów lokalnych).head of the project: TOMASZ TRZCIŃSKI, PhD. Project for Google Ireland Limited. Abstract: The project is focused on efficient nearest-neighbor search in the binary spaces in the context of collaboration between the Institute and Google within the frames of Project Tango. Tango technology gives a mobile device the ability to navigate the physical world in a similar way to humans. Tango brings a new kind of spatial perception to the Android device platform by adding advanced computer vision, image processing, and special vision sensors. One of the key aspects of Tango is the recognition of previously visited places using image-based geolocalization technology. In case of Tango, this is done by first capturing the information about the surrounding environment and then matching incoming images with the pre-computed 3D maps. The environment is represented with models consististing of sparse 3D point clouds which are estimated using structure-from-motion (SfM) algorithms. Since SfM reconstructs each 3D scene point from multiple image observations, each such 3D landmark is associated with a set of local image descriptors. Given a novel image together with features extracted from it, the camera pose w.r.t. the 3D model (map) can be computed from 2D-3D matches between image features and landmark positions using absolute pose solvers. To obtain these 2D-3D matches efficient and accurate correspondence search techniques, such as nearest-neighbor (NN) search, are inevitable. Since in the context of Tango extracted descriptors are binary, it is important to find efficient techniques for nearest-neighbor search in the binary spaces, and this is exactly the topic of this project. 01 November October Collective project.

43 Annual Report 2016 of the Institute of Computer Science 43 Research groups from the Institute of Computer Science participate also in the following research projects led by persons from other institutes of WUT: [Pro20] A team: Waldemar Grabski, leaded by Wiktor Daszczuk, participate in Eco- Mobility Project. The project is run at the Faculty of Transport, WUT, and in cooperation with several other faculties. The aim of the team from the Institute of Computer Science is to build a simulation environment for analysis of traffic in Personal Rapid Transit systems, modelling and simulation experiments on Personal Rapid Transit systems. Education Project [Pro21] Norweski Mechanizm Finansowy Innovative Polish and English Graduate Studies Programmes in Computer Science (Innowacyjne, polskoi anglojęzyczne programy studiów drugiego stopnia w zakresie informatyki). Head of the project No. FSS/2013/HEI/W/0094/U/0057 HENRYK RYBIŃSKI, Professor. Abstract: The decrease in the number of students studying in English is a fact that greatly hampers the implementation of international student exchange programs. This semester we conducted an experiment, in which we opened two courses in English only. It confirms that such courses are interesting for Polish studies students (in both cases, the number of listeners reached a number of sites on the course). The introduction of courses in English into Polish studies program can solve the problem of too small a number of listeners in the English courses, while integrating students in English and Polish programs. The introduction of new courses is an obvious element of constant adaptation of teaching program to changing market needs. The first of the proposed courses: Internet of Things is a response to clearly visible for some time trend for miniaturization, simplification and specialization of digital devices. This proposal is unique, because it combines areas traditionally distant from one another: hardware and low-level software design and possibilities and resources of a global network. The second proposal, seminar Innovativeness in ICT connects directly to the third objective, which should increase student involvement in projects development and the acquisition of knowledge. Observations (e.g. theses solving a specific problem, participants in the different competitions) indicate that the possibility of implementing a complete design that can be used immediately, significantly increases the willingness of students to work. 05 May March Collective project. Completed. [Pro22] Erasmus+ - Open and portable software library for rapid eye tracking (Otwarta biblioteka oprogramowania do śledzenia ruchów gałki ocznej).
