4. Synergy of blockchain technology and data mining techniques for anomaly detectionAida Kamišalić Latifić, Renata Kovačević, Iztok Fister, 2021, review article Abstract: Blockchain and Data Mining are not simply buzzwords, but rather concepts that are playing
an important role in the modern Information Technology (IT) revolution. Blockchain has recently
been popularized by the rise of cryptocurrencies, while data mining has already been present in IT
for many decades. Data stored in a blockchain can also be considered to be big data, whereas data
mining methods can be applied to extract knowledge hidden in the blockchain. In a nutshell, this
paper presents the interplay of these two research areas. In this paper, we surveyed approaches for
the data mining of blockchain data, yet show several real-world applications. Special attention was
paid to anomaly detection and fraud detection, which were identified as the most prolific applications
of applying data mining methods on blockchain data. The paper concludes with challenges for future
investigations of this research area. Keywords: anomaly detection, blockchain, distributed ledger, data mining, machine learning Published in DKUM: 16.06.2025; Views: 0; Downloads: 0

5. E-learning materials for the Slovene language in elementary schools (6th-9th grade)Alenka Valh Lopert, Mihaela Koletnik, 2019, original scientific article Abstract: The theoretical part of the paper presents the project Slovenščina na dlani (lovene in e al o or and) which is intended for the establishment of an interactive learning environment for the Slovene language (as mother tongue) in elementary and secondary schools. In this paper we limit the research to elementary school. In the empirical section, we focus on freely available e-learning materials for the Slovene language from the 6th to the 9th grade of elementary school and present the results of an analysis of 10,118 tasks according to their types. The findings indicate an unbalanced representation of different types of tasks, with short answer types in the majority, the task type that is least popular among students. By introducing the most advanced linguistic technology into learning processes, we try to overcome the limitations of existing e-resources for learning the Slovene language.

6. Informal learning among teenagers through video games : a qualitative analysis of experiences, game modes and didactic benefitsMilan Matijević, Tomislav Topolovčan, 2019, original scientific article Abstract: The paper analyzes the positive effects of video games on teen development and on teenagers' informal learning. The participants in the research were teenagers. The analysis and interpretation of games and explanations of their pedagogical merit indicate that players recognize their value for informal learning. Latent characteristics of video games include positive elemests such as taking responsibility, teamwork, sense of belonging, creativity, multiculturalism, personal virtues and values, emotion management, learning new information and skills, motor skills development and professional orientation. In that respect, it is possible to conclude that gaming may help in the development of certain abilities important for informal as well as formal learning in today's digital age.

7. High-performance deployment operational Data analytics of pre-trained multi-label classification architectures with differential-evolution-based hyperparameter optimization (AutoDEHypO)Teo Prica, Aleš Zamuda, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: This article presents a high-performance-computing differential-evolution-based hyperparameter optimization automated workflow (AutoDEHypO), which is deployed on a petascale supercomputer and utilizes multiple GPUs to execute a specialized fitness function for machine learning (ML). The workflow is designed for operational analytics of energy efficiency. In this differential evolution (DE) optimization use case, we analyze how energy efficiently the DE algorithm performs with different DE strategies and ML models. The workflow analysis considers key factors such as DE strategies and automated use case configurations, such as an ML model architecture and dataset, while monitoring both the achieved accuracy and the utilization of computing resources, such as the elapsed time and consumed energy. While the efficiency of a chosen DE strategy is assessed based on a multi-label supervised ML accuracy, operational data about the consumption of resources of individual completed jobs obtained from a Slurm database are reported. To demonstrate the impact on energy efficiency, using our analysis workflow, we visualize the obtained operational data and aggregate them with statistical tests that compare and group the energy efficiency of the DE strategies applied in the ML models.

10. Weakly-supervised multilingual medical NER for symptom extraction for low-resource languagesRigon Sallauka, Umut Arioz, Matej Rojc, Izidor Mlakar, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Patient-reported health data, especially patient-reported outcomes measures, are vital for improving clinical care but are often limited by memory bias, cognitive load, and inflexible questionnaires. Patients prefer conversational symptom reporting, highlighting the need for robust methods in symptom extraction and conversational intelligence. This study presents a weakly-supervised pipeline for training and evaluating medical Named Entity Recognition (NER) models across eight languages, with a focus on low-resource settings. A merged English medical corpus, annotated using the Stanza i2b2 model, was translated into German, Greek, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, and Slovenian, preserving the entity annotations medical problems, diagnostic tests, and treatments. Data augmentation addressed the class imbalance, and the fine-tuned BERT-based models outperformed baselines consistently. The English model achieved the highest F1 score (80.07%), followed by German (78.70%), Spanish (77.61%), Portuguese (77.21%), Slovenian (75.72%), Italian (75.60%), Polish (75.56%), and Greek (69.10%). Compared to the existing baselines, our models demonstrated notable performance gains, particularly in English, Spanish, and Italian. This research underscores the feasibility and effectiveness of weakly-supervised multilingual approaches for medical entity extraction, contributing to improved information access in clinical narratives—especially in under-resourced languages.
