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 […]

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 […]

Data privacy has become trending, and nowadays, people are talking more and more about it. With process mining, privacy becomes more relevant. Because process mining makes it easier to expose the actual business reality. With automatic process discovery, we can reverse engineer the activities that have been performed within the organization and the hand-offs between […]

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 […]

Nowadays, a vast majority of business processes involve many tedious and repetitive tasks, for example transferring data across multiple systems or transforming data from one format to another. These tasks are time-consuming, error-prone, and by themselves do not bring much value to the underlying processes. Their automation can bring many benefits such as error-rate reduction, […]

Modern organizations must constantly adjust their business processes in order to adapt to internal and external changes, such as new competitors, new regulations, customer expectations, or strategic objectives. For example, due to a pandemic, a retailer might experience a 50% increase in their number of online orders; however, during the same time, their volume of […]

The article was translated and published in English by the University of Tartu. It was initially published in Estonian in Eesti Ekspress by Greete Lehepuu. The cover of the September issue of Communications of ACM, the most prestigious journal in computer science, featured an article led by University of Tartu researchers. The article proposes steps to tackle one of […]

Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituudi keeletehnoloogia rühmas valmis bakalaureusetöö “Soome-ugri väikeste keelte neuromasintõlke edendamine” raames vabalt kasutatav mitmekeelne masintõlkesüsteem väiksematele soome-ugri keeltele nagu eesti, soome, võru, põhjasaami ja lõunasaami. Töö autor on Maali Tars ja teda juhendas Andre Tättar. Lõputöö põhjal avaldati teaduslik artikkel äsja toimunud NoDaLiDa keeletehnoloogia konverentsil pealkirja all “Extremely low-resource machine translation for […]
