The textbook titled Text Mining and Artificial Intelligence in R, produced in the poltextLAB text mining research group of the HUN-REN Centre for Social Sciences, presents the most important practical aspects of the application of quantitative text analysis methods in social sciences. The online version of the book is regularly updated by the authors Miklós Sebők, Orsolya Ring and Ákos Máté.

Researchers from the Hungarian Artificial Intelligence National Laboratory (MILAB), Zsolt Bedőházi and András Biricz, have won the international "2024 Detecting Active Tuberculosis Bacilli Data Challenge" competition with their team NeuraBB. The contest aimed to develop algorithms capable of identifying pathogens in patient samples, thereby aiding in the diagnosis of active tuberculosis.

The meetup series launched by the Artificial Intelligence National Laboratory (MILAB) in the fall of 2023 continued. The regularly recurring event, held monthly in the afternoons, aims to provide opportunities for informal discussions and networking after several short presentations. The meetup places special emphasis on young researchers and students.

The topic of the discussion was whether we can live for a thousand years, and if so, whether we would want to, following Csaba Kerepesi's research on artificial intelligence (AI) in aging. The panel also included futurist Árpád Rab and AI advisor György Tilesch.

Researchers from HUN-REN SZTAKI, coordinator of MILAB, and project partner Semmelweis University not only took part in the run, but also collaborated in a scientific study to investigate the relationship between sport and biological age: participants were able to find out for themselves how old they are according to artificial intelligence.

András Benczúr, head of the Artificial Intelligence National Laboratory (MILAB), coordinated by HUN-REN SZTAKI, exhibited at the day-long event held in Várkert Bazár on 26 March 2024.

Employees from the Indian Manipal University (Manipal Academy of Higher Education), particularly from the Manipal Institute of Technology, Manjunath K N, and Manuel Manuel, a compliance expert from the Scania Group, visited HUN-REN SZTAKI to familiarize themselves with the activities and structure of the Artificial Intelligence National Laboratory (MILAB).

At the event "The role of the EDIH network in economic development", HUN-REN SZTAKI, coordinator of MILAB, also represented itself with scientific demonstrations. The demonstrations were also visited by Szabolcs Szolnoki, Deputy State Secretary for Technology of the Ministry of Economic Development.
