Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituudi toetusel toimus 8.-19. novembril informaatikaviktoriin Kobras, millel osales peaaegu 4000 Eesti õpilast rohkem kui 110 koolist. Parimaid ootab uuel aastal ees finaalvõistlus. Viktoriin toimus kolmes vanuserühmas: benjaminid (6.–8. klass), juuniorid (9.–10. klass) ja seeniorid (11.–12. klass). Ühe koolitunni (45 minutit) jooksul vastasid õpilased 15 küsimusele, mille teemaderingi mahuvad küsimused arvutite riist- […]

Intervjueeris Raimond-Hendrik Tunnel Meie eelmine mängujämmide lugu andis ülevaate Tartu Ülikooli mängujämmidest ning kirjeldas nende käigus loodud märkimisväärseid mänge. Seekord kõneleme samal teemal arvutiteaduse instituudi hajussüsteemide nooremlektori Jürmo Mehisega. Jürmo on osalenud mitmetel jämmidel ning olnud paljude mängujämmide õhtujuht. Vestlesime tema huvidest, teest mängundusse ning mängujämmide ja Eesti mänguarenduse tulevikust. Tean, et sa tegeled päris […]

We are currently in the process of significant changes in the communications paradigms. Among others, one of the changes is moving to cloud-based services instead of using local applications (Office365, Youtube, Spotify, etc.). We can argue about the motivation of this trend, but this allows us to provide the customers with the most up-to-date solutions […]

Researchers from the University of Tartu’s Institute of Computer Science are taking part in the EU Horizon project SPATIAL (Security and Privacy Accountable Technology Innovations, Algorithms and Machine Learning), which aims to develop resilient accountable metrics, privacy-preserving methods, verification tools and system solutions that will serve as critical building blocks for trustworthy AI in ICT […]

This semester we had four industry partners, and our student teams did excellent work in addressing the challenges and prototyping proposed solutions. SEB PankThe challenge: find a way how to help its clients on the journey towards a green home. During […]

Estonia does not have many natural minerals or a significant population like many wealthy countries, but it has the most unicorns per capita globally. As most unicorns use technology to offer solutions for solving problems, we need more IT practitioners who can use computation power to solve various algorithmic issues.  “Thinking computationally is not anymore […]

We are glad to announce that the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) has recognized Prof. Jaak Vilo as their Senior Member being the first researcher from Estonia who has received this prestigious title.

Our faculty member, Stefania Tomasiello, lecturer of Artificial Intelligence, recently joined IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems (IEEE TNNLS) as associate editor. IEEE TNNLS publishes articles that deal with the theory, design, and applications of neural networks and related learning systems. It is a premier journal in the field of Neural Networks and […]

Oma ligi 80-aastase ajaloo juures on elektronarvutid fundamentaalselt muutnud info kogumist, töötlust ja kommunikatsiooni. Kiirete numbriliste arvutuste võimaldajast (computer oli ametinimetus käsitsi arvutajatele, peamiselt tegelesid sellega meestest palju hoolikamad naised) sai kuuekümnendatel ettevõtete andmete, palgatšekkide ja reserveeringute haldaja. Kui 1980ndatel jõudsid personaalarvutid ja tabelarvutus massidesse, kadusid masinakirjutajad. Edasi avas ülemaailmne võrk Internet ligipääsu kaugel olevale […]
