Sulev Reisberg töötab Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituudis selle nimel, et selgitada välja, milline on Eesti rahva tervis ja kuidas seda tõhusamalt ravida. Arvutid ja programmeerimine huvitasid mind juba lapsest saati. Lõin arvutimänge ja veebilehti ning seetõttu tundus loomulik samm minna ülikooli IT-d õppima. Pärast Tallinna Tehnikaülikoolis omandatud magistrikraadi olin aga kindel, et teadus pole minu […]

Maarja tegutseb arvutiteaduse instituudis terviseinformaatika nooremteadurina ja loob oma teadustöös võimalusi terviseandmete visualiseerimiseks ja andmestike võrdlemiseks visuaalsete vahenditega. Teda usutles andmeteaduse õppetooli juhataja professor Jaak Vilo. (Foto: Marja-Liisa Plats) Oled hiljuti saanud palju tähelepanu oma teadustulemuste populariseerimisel. Räägi oma doktoritööst veidi lähemalt. Töötan terviseinformaatika uurimisgrupis, kus meie eesmärk on koostöös meditsiiniekspertidega parandada Eesti inimeste tervist […]

These platforms have, however, also led to the problem of misinformation, which can quickly spread on a global scale, and once it has been disseminated, it can be hard to stop. It […]

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 […]

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 13th of December Lidia Feklistova defended her PhD thesis on „Learners of an introductory programming MOOC: background variables, engagement patterns and performance” We constantly improve our knowledge and skills to be successful. Participation in massive open online courses (MOOCs) supports ongoing professional development and lifelong learning. Keeping in mind the huge number of participants in […]

To explain the importance of recognising and mitigating the impact of phishing attacks, our institute organised a CyberPhish seminar on 13 October, which was attended by more than 35 participants, including educators and students, stakeholders of private and public sectors, and representatives from businesses, police and government.

Machine Translation is a quickly growing field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) that automatically translates a text from one language to another without human involvement.  In recent years, the use of machine translation systems has increased dramatically. Today machine translation is used not only by translation agencies but also by people using online machine translation […]

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 […]
