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 […]

Kaur Alasoo, Associate Professor of Bioinformatics at the Institute of Computer Science, University of Tartu, has combined computer science and molecular biology in his research to find new ways of predicting the effects of genetic variants and to better understand rare diseases. He was interviewed by Professor Jaak Vilo, Head of the Chair of Data […]

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 […]

The 25th International Conference on Product-Focused Software Process Improvement (PROFES) took place in Tartu from December 2–4, 2024. The conference brought more than 50 internationally renowned researchers and industry practitioners to Tartu, for interesting talks and discussions. Most participants came from Europe, mainly from Austria, Finland, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Sweden, but there were also participants from […]

Imagine a room with millions of mysterious switches and hundreds of ceiling lamps. You don’t know which switch does what, but you’re curious. As you experiment with different combinations, the lamps’ brightness varies. This scene is a simple metaphor for the complex challenge of genomics research – understanding how different genetic ‘switches’ affect our health. […]

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 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 […]
