On 23 December, Veronika Plotnikova defended her PhD thesis on “FIN-DM: A Data Mining Process for the Financial Services”, which investigated standard data mining frameworks, their usage across different industries and associated gaps. Based on the results, the new process model FIN-DM was developed to support practitioners to conduct data mining in the financial services. […]

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 […]

Raimond-Hendrik Tunnel Oktoobri alguses toimus Tartu Ülikooli Delta õppe- ja teadushoones ülikooli mängujämm – University of Tartu Game Jam 2021. Üritusel osales 44 noort videomängude loomise huvilist, kes moodustasid üheksa meeskonda ja lõid sama palju uusi väikseid arvutimänge. Mängude prototüübid ehitati valmis kahe päevaga ja lähemalt saab sellest jämmist lugeda juba arvutigraafika ja virtuaalreaalsuse labori […]

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 […]

The article was initially published in Ekspress by Greete Lehepuu. The app works like Google Maps: given genetic coordinates associated with a disease it finds which gene is likely to cause the disease and in which tissue. Imagine that the only way to find your way in an unknown city is to buy the map […]

By Dmytro Fishman, Junior Lecturer of Data Science The human organism is a profoundly complex mechanism, consisting of trillions of cells, each powered by about 42 million protein molecules that interact with one another in a gazillion of ways. Recently, scientists developed technologies (i.e. high-throughput screening) that enable us to listen and record data from […]

Lühidalt: ITTM kestab nüüd kaks semestrist (ehk ühe aasta) Neli tudengit on hetkel praktikal Pipedrive-s, üks Eesti Energias, üks Reach-U-s ITTM-i tootmissektorile suunatud pilootprogramm jätkub koostöös Columbus Eesti ja Barrusega Osalevate tudengite jaoks on endiselt suurim motivaator saada praktilist kogemust ettevõtetes Järgmise aasta programmi saab praktikapositsioone esitama hakata talvel Sul pole õrna aimu, mis on […]

Õppekava „IT mitteinformaatikutele“ on üks Tartu Ülikooli populaarsemaid programme, mis annab kõrgharidusega spetsialistidele ja juhtidele vajalikud teadmised ning oskused digipöörde juhtimiseks ja lahenduste arendamiseks. Järgnevas blogipostituses tutvustab õppekava programmijuht kaasprofessor Kuldar Taveter kuut põhjust, miks tulla õppima. Esimese ja kõige olulisema põhjusena tooksin välja, et kuna õppekava on suunatud erinevate valdkondade ekspertidele, kellest enamikul on […]

On June 28, Dmytro Fishman defended his PhD thesis on “Developing a data analysis pipeline for automated protein profiling in immunology”. In this work, Dmytro and his collaborators explored the dynamics of autoimmune diseases as well as developed a software tool that simplifies similar research in the future. Proteins are essential elements of all living […]

On June 21, Liis Kolberg defended her PhD thesis on “Developing and applying bioinformatics tools for gene expression data interpretation” which provides convenient tools that simplify the work of biologists and saves their time.  Modern technologies enable researchers to simultaneously measure the expression levels of all genes under different conditions and in different groups of […]

While human average life expectancy has surged in the past century, a growing concern is a rising disease burden in the later stages of life. It is well known that lifestyle choices can help to prevent or delay disease onset, but once the disease has manifested, medical treatment (such as in the form of drugs) […]

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. ACM is the world’s largest educational and scientific computing society, which every year awards its members, who for years have demonstrated performance […]

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 […]

Juba bakalaureuseõppesse astudes ma teadsin, et magistriõpe on minu jaoks järgmine loogiline samm. Kuigi ma olin saanud põhjaliku interdistsiplinaarse kogemuse nii praktilisel kui ka teoreetilisel tasandil, siis ma ei tundnud, et mu õppimistee oleks olnud täielik, kui ma ei jätkaks seda magistris. Lühidalt öeldes ma leidsin, et kolme aastaga, mis kulus mul bakalaureusekraadi omandamiseks, ei […]

By Dima Fishman Machine learning is a study of computer algorithms capable of automatically learning ways to solve difficult problems from the existing data without being explicitly programmed. Over time machine learning methods have substantially contributed to human progress across many areas. Machine learning has been taught for many years in the Institute of Computer […]
