Image Recognition Project Completed

posted Jan 17, 2012 3:34 PM by Zoran Sevarac

The recently released version 2.6 of the Java neural network framework Neuroph includes a handy new version of the image recognition tool, which is part of the NetBeans Platform based application Neuroph Studio. This new image reognition tool is the first project completed by the NetBeans Platform development team founded at the University of Belgrade, Serbia.



The new image recognition tool provides a simple way to create neural network based image recognition components and to add image recognition capabilities to Java programs with a very simple API. The step by step tutorial for this is available here.

Moving Forward NetBeans and Java Community in Serbia

posted Oct 28, 2011 4:31 PM by Zoran Sevarac   [ updated Oct 30, 2011 5:40 PM ]

NetBeans User Group Serbia in cooperation with JUG JavaSvet and local Oracle office, joined efforts in builiding Java and NetBeans community in Serbia. They started this initiative together at OpenIT , local IT event organised by international student organisation AIESEC at Faculty of Organisational Sciences, Serbia. 

On Wednesday 26th, Ljiljana Krkic from Oracle Serbia, gave presentation about ThinkQuest the international competition that challenges students to solve problems using technology. Right after the presentation many students signed up for teams to participate the competition. After that Igor Spasic from JavaSvet and Zoran Sevarac from NetBeans Group Serbia talked about open source and Java community and the opportunities to get involved. They outlined the main benefits for students  participating in open source development, to be learning about specific applications and technologies, and gaining experience with tools and teamwork which will be big advantage once they start looking for the job.

     

 

On Friday 28th, NetBeans User Group Serbia presented their activities, NetBeans Platform trainings and open source projects, to students  and 70 students (!) signed up for the incoming trainings. Thats twice more than the last year

 

 

All together it was great experience. Community groups and university started working together with official Oracle support,  and we belive that this initiative will really push forward the NetBeans and Java community in Serbia. We'll continue with events like this, and next we need to get some local companies involved...

NUGS Project Team

posted Jul 14, 2011 4:26 AM by Zoran Sevarac   [ updated Jul 14, 2011 4:35 AM ]

After the last NetBeans Platform training at the Faculty of Organisational Sciences in Belgrade, Serbia, we formed a development team that will work on NetBeans Platform related projects.

A group of students who participated the training (13 out of 25) signed up to join the team and on Wednesday 7.14.11, the project team had a first meeting at the Faculty of Organisational Sciences.

 

The team will work on following open source projects:

 1. Neuroph Studio, a neural network development tool on the NetBeans Platform. The team will create new features for image recognition and advanced visual neural network editor based on the Visual Library.

 2. Eidos Project, the community-driven NetBeans UML Plugin. The team will work on development of the UML visual editor, which is also based on Visual Library.

Both  projects include creating specialized visual editors on top of the Visual Library and our goal is to train the team in creating advanced visual editors. This may open opportunities to offer this expertise to other projects too.

Here is the list of team members and project activities at the moment:

1. Neuroph, Image Recognition
Vedrana Gajic
Uroš Titovic
Ðorde Gligorijevic
Marjan Hrzic

2. Neuroph, Visual Editor
Ivan Maksimovic
Dusan Milicevic
Vera Stojanovic

We had another great NetBeans Platform training at the Faculty of Organisational Sciences in Belgrade. It was a two day training course where we had a good time discovering the NetBeans Platform, and we've tried  some new things this time. Read more here

NetBeans Platform Course for Master Students

posted Jun 26, 2011 3:12 AM by Zoran Sevarac   [ updated Jun 26, 2011 3:14 AM ]

As a part of course on Modern Software Architectures, during the master studies at Faculty of Organisational Sciences, the students had opportuinty to learn the basics of NetBeans Platform. During the 5 hour course on June 25th and 26th they were introduced with basic concepts about NetBeans Platform, modular applications and had some hands on excercises based on our teaching materials (doing HelloWorld and CD Catalog example).

They were very interested to hear about this topic and they were very good at doing practical exercises on their own. One interesting comment by one of the students was: 'Oh, yeah I know that Eclipse has something similiar like this platform, but I gave up after looking at it. This looks much more convinient'
