Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituudi infosüsteemide lektor Alexander Nolte uuris koos kolleegidega USA-st, mida tehakse ettevõtetes töötajatele korraldatud häkatonidel. Nende eesmärgiks oli välja selgitada tegurid, mis mõjutavad häkatonide käigus algatatud projektide jätkumist pärast ürituse lõppu. Paljud ettevõtted korraldavad oma töötajate seas organisatsioonisiseseid häkatone, kuid tihtipeale ei osata neid tegevusi siduda teiste tegevustega, näiteks tooteinnovatsiooniga. Samuti ei […]

Juba viiendat aastat korraldab Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituut koostöös IT Akadeemiaga tudengiprojektide võistlust.  Konkursi eesmärk on tunnustada üliõpilasi, kes on nii ainekursuste raames kui kooliväliselt loonud silmapaistvaid IT-alaseid teadus- ja rakendusprojekte. Tudengid saavad konkursil osaleda üksi või kuni viieliikmelise tiimina. Selleaastasest võistlusest võttis osa 33 tudengit, kes esitasid kokku 21 projekti. Võistlusel oli kolm kategooriat: bakalaureuseastme kategooria, […]

  Institute of Computer Science organizes public seminars on various topics related to data science. In March 15, the seminar topic was autonomous vehicles. We had several intriguing guest speakers, including Andrej Karpathy, the Director of AI at Tesla, who told us about the technology behind Tesla’s self-driving cars. While Andrej’s (and Starship’s Lindsey Roberts’) […]
