Artikkel avaldati algselt Novaatoris. Ehkki tehisaru teeb üha rohkem inimeste elu mõjutavaid otsuseid, ei suuda see neid alati inimesele arusaadavalt põhjendada. Tartu Ülikoolis kaitstud doktoritöö osutab, et inimesed ootavad masinalt realistlikke ja usaldusväärselt mõjuvaid seletusi. Tehisaru teeb järjest rohkem otsuseid, mis mõjutavad inimeste elu. Seda kasutatakse haiglates diagnooside toetamisel, pankades laenutaotluste hindamisel ning hariduses õppijate […]

You can find out more about Kristiina Rahkema’s PhD thesis in English here.  Nutitelefonidest on saanud meie elu lahutamatu osa. Iga asja jaoks on olemas äpp: sõnumite saatmiseks, internetipanga külastuseks, auto lukust avamiseks. Kahjuks on paljud neist rakendustest ebaturvalised. Turvavigu on avastatud sellistes rakendustes nagu Facebook, TikTok ja WhatsApp. Nende turvavigade raskusaste võib ulatuda andmelekkest […]

Introduction: Privacy-preserving computation is a crucial discipline that protects the privacy of confidential data while facilitating secure analysis. In graph problems, secure multiparty computation (SMC) presents a promising approach to performing these functionalities. This article delves into the notable advancements in privacy-preserving parallel algorithms recently introduced in a Ph.D. thesis. By integrating graph algorithms with […]

Kadi Tulver, arvutiteaduse instituudi kognitiivteaduse ja masinnägemise teadur Lugu sellest, kuidas Isaac Newton õunapuu all istudes murrangulise gravitatsiooniteooria peale tuli, on kõigile tuttav. Isegi kui mõned värvikad detailid on ilukirjanduslikult liialdatud, ilmestab see episood suurepäraselt ühte inimmõistusele unikaalset omadust – kuidas uudsed ideed mõnikord meile justkui tühja koha pealt pähe hüppavad. Püüdlustes luua tehisintellekti, mis […]

We are living in a world in which data is not just getting bigger; it is also getting more and more interconnected. Large graph analytics is a useful tool for gaining insights from large volumes of interconnected data and has applications in various fields such as social media, biology, and telecommunications. An example of the […]

On the 9th of December Jakob Mass defended his PhD thesis on „Process management for Internet of mobile things“. The Internet of Things (IoT) promotes solutions such as a smart city, where everyday objects connect with info systems and each other. One example is a road condition monitoring system, where connected vehicles, such as buses, […]

On the 30th of September, Mubashar Iqbal defended his PhD. thesis on “Reference Framework for Managing Security Risks Using Blockchain” which addresses the problem of traditional applications’ security risk management (SRM) using blockchain as a countermeasure solution and the SRM of blockchain-based applications. In the digital realm, software security has the utmost importance in making […]

Kaur Alasoo on Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituudi bioinformaatika lektor. Tema artikkel ilmus Õhtulehes 22. mail 2022. Tegu on eesti noorte teaduste akadeemia algatatud artiklisarjaga “ElemENTAarne”, kus noorteadlased kirjutavad põnevatest teadustulemustest ja näitavad, kuidas teadus meie elu rikastab. Miks on nii, et teadlased suutsid vähem kui aastaga välja arendada mitu konkureerivat koroonaviiruse vastast vaktsiini, aga meil […]

More than 2000 participants were involved in cyber defence exercise Locked Shields 2022 that took place from April 19 to 22. This year, one of the venues of the event was the Delta Centre in Tartu. Employees of the HPC Center of the University of Tartu and the Institute of Computer Science participated in the […]

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 […]
