20. jaanuaril kaitses Heidi Taveter oma doktoritööd „Using programming-process data of introductory programming courses: finding solver types, giving feedback, and detecting plagiarism“ („Programmeerimisprotsessi andmete kasutamine sissejuhatavatel programmeerimiskursustel: lahendajatüüpide leidmine, tagasiside andmine ja plagiaadi tuvastamine“). Sel puhul uuris arvutiteaduse instituudi juhataja professor Jaak Vilo intervjuus, kuidas on kulgenud Heidi teekond teadusmaailmas. Kui peaksid oma doktoriteed ühe […]

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 […]

E-õppe algusajaks Tartu Ülikoolis võib pidada aastat 1998, kui saadi Avatud Eesti Fondi  rahastus projektile “Avatud Ülikool kaasaegseks kaugkoolituskeskuseks”. 2023. aasta maikuus möödus sellest ajast täpselt 25 aastat. Arvutiteaduse instituudi pikaajaline vanemmetoodik Tiina Lasn, kes seda projekti juhtis, jagab järgnevalt oma mõtteid ja meenutusi. Kuidas siis täpsemalt meil e-õppega alustati?  Avatud Eesti Fondi projekti “Avatud […]

Its repercussions extend beyond financial ramifications, encompassing the destabilization of financial systems, threats to national security, and the erosion […]

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. […]
