Pomeranian Digital Library

PDL is a project carried out by science and culture institutions from the Pomeranian region. The construction of the Pomeranian Digital Library began in 2009, when the Project received funding from the European Union as part of the competition for the Regional Operational Program for the Pomeranian Voivodeship for 2007-2013.

Gdańsk University of Technology is the leading partner of the project, and the coordination of activities related to the implementation of the project was entrusted to the Gdańsk Tech Library.

Potential Polish equivalent of GPT. Successful cooperation on AI between Gdańsk Tech and OPI

graphic Qra
Gdańsk University of Technology and AI Lab from the National Information Processing Institute (OPI) – National Research Institute developed generative neural language models trained on a terabyte of text data exclusively in Polish. Qra is the first of its kind and the best in modeling Polish language equivalent of open tools like Meta or Mistral AI. Qra understands Polish content better, has an improved comprehension of asked questions and produces coherent texts.

Gdańsk Tech and OPI developed Polish generative models called Qra, trained on data corpus containing texts only in Polish. Initially, the corpus used the total of almost 2TB of raw text data, but as a result of cleaning and deduplication processes, it was reduced almost twice in order to maintain the best quality and unique content. This is the first generative model trained on such a large resource of Polish texts, using great computing power.
