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 […]

Jaak Vilo, Kallol Roy Algorithmics (MTAT.03.238) is an obligatory course in the Computer Science MSc curriculum. As such it is intended to remind everyone of the foundations of algorithms and data structures but also to go beyond and teach some more advanced concepts (like succinct data structures, for example).  The course aims at linking different […]

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 […]

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 […]

Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituudi toetusel toimus 8.-19. novembril informaatikaviktoriin Kobras, millel osales peaaegu 4000 Eesti õpilast rohkem kui 110 koolist. Parimaid ootab uuel aastal ees finaalvõistlus. Viktoriin toimus kolmes vanuserühmas: benjaminid (6.–8. klass), juuniorid (9.–10. klass) ja seeniorid (11.–12. klass). Ühe koolitunni (45 minutit) jooksul vastasid õpilased 15 küsimusele, mille teemaderingi mahuvad küsimused arvutite riist- […]
