Video Tutorial: Learn to Use CVAT for AI-Assisted Labeling

CVAT, Computer Vision Annotation Tool, is an interactive video and image annotation tool, designed to facilitate the annotation of video and image data and accelerate the creation of high-quality datasets for computer vision tasks. CVAT is available on the UCloud platform, in the Application Store.

The webinar will show how to use CVAT on UCloud to:

Label and annotate data with the help of AI and OpenCV tools, including:

  • Use of cvat-cli
  • Run built-in model for detection and auto-annotation
  • Use of GPUS with built in models for faster annotation
  • Adding custom models (e.g. YOLO)

Efficiently manage large visual datasets with MinIO:

  • Allow CVAT to directly pull images from your UCloud MinIO buckets for annotation and export annotated data back, reducing manual imports/exports and ensuring data availability.

Using UCloud allows users to create fully reproducible and secure workflows that leverage high performance computing resources. Those features are often necessary for large dataset and accurate computer vision tasks.

Target audience: Researchers across all Departments, particularly who require high-precision data labeling, AI interested.

Technical Level: Basic to Intermediate

Workshop 26/2: CVAT – AI-Assisted Labeling

Date: 26. februar 2026

Time: 13:15 to 14:30 CET

Location: Online via Zoom

CVAT (Computer Vision Annotation Tool) er et interaktivt værktøj til annotering af video- og billeddata, udviklet til at lette annoteringsarbejdet og accelerere opbygningen af datasæt af høj kvalitet til computer vision-opgaver. CVAT er tilgængeligt på UCloud-platformen via Application Store.

Webinaret vil vise, hvordan man anvender CVAT på UCloud til at:
  • mærke og annotere data ved hjælp af AI- og OpenCV-værktøjer, herunder:
    • brug af cvat-cli
    • kørsel af indbyggede modeller til detektion og automatisk annotering
    • anvendelse af GPU’er sammen med indbyggede modeller for hurtigere annotering
    • tilføjelse af brugerdefinerede modeller (f.eks. YOLO)
  • effektivt at håndtere store visuelle datasæt med MinIO:
    • give CVAT direkte adgang til at hente billeder fra dine UCloud MinIO-buckets til annotering og eksportere annoterede data tilbage igen, hvilket reducerer manuelle importer/eksporter og sikrer datatilgængelighed.

Ved at bruge UCloud kan brugere etablere fuldt reproducerbare og sikre workflows, der udnytter højtydende computerressourcer. Disse funktioner er ofte nødvendige ved arbejde med store datasæt og præcise computer vision-opgaver.

Målgruppe:
Forskere på tværs af alle institutter, særligt dem med behov for højpræcis datamærkning, samt forskere med interesse for AI.

Teknisk niveau:
Grundlæggende til mellemniveau

Workshop 19/2: Text classification using large language models

Date: 19 February 2026
Time: 13:15 – 14:30 (CET)
Location: Online, via Zoom

The purpose of this webinar is to demonstrate how to perform automated text classification using pre-trained, open-source large language models (LLMs). The efficiency that LLMs bring to otherwise laboursome workflows, such as text classification, makes it possible to work with much larger text corpora across all fields of research. The use case will focus on classifying text according to sentiment, but the general workflow is applicable to many other text classification tasks.

In the webinar, we will create a complete workflow which will consist of the following parts:

  1. Retrieving text data from online sources
  2. Storing and preparing the data for analysis
  3. Setting up the LLM text classifier
  4. Performing the text classification
  5. Displaying the results (for validation etc.)

The workflow will be set up on the UCloud platform. Using UCloud allows users to create fully reproducible and secure workflows that leverage high performance computing resources which are often necessary to run LLMs locally.

Webinaroptagelse: Lær at optage og transskribere sikkert med den nye Dictaphone app

I denne webinaroptagelse får du en hands-on introduktion til Dictaphone, som er en ny app på UCloud, der gør det muligt for forskere at optage og transskribere interviews direkte fra deres egne enheder – også selvom du arbejder med fortrolige data. Bemærk, at webinaret foregår på engelsk.

I denne video vil vi guide dig igennem, hvordan du:

  • Optager interviews og samtaler via Dictaphone direkte fra din laptop eller smartphone.
    Lyden streames i realtid til den sikre UCloud-backend, så data ikke lagres lokalt på din enhed – hvilket gør Dictaphone velegnet til håndtering af fortrolige data.
  • Transskribere optagelser automatisk i samme arbejdsgang ved hjælp af Dictaphones indbyggede transskriptionsfunktion, så du hurtigt kan omdanne tale til tekst
  • Får mest muligt ud af Dictaphone, herunder tips, ekstra funktioner og eksempler på anvendelse i forskning. 

Optagelsen er relevant for alle forskere på tværs af discipliner og fakulteter – samt studerende.

Dictaphone er begyndervenlig og kræver ingen teknisk baggrund.
