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 […]

Kristo Raun kaitses 2024. aastal Tartu Ülikoolis doktorikraadi informaatika erialal. Praegu tegutseb ta arvutiteaduse instituudis õppejõuna ning juhib taskuhäälingusaadet „Laomees ja torumees“. Teda usutles andmeteaduse õppetooli juhataja professor Jaak Vilo. Sa said hiljuti valmis oma doktoritöö andmetehnikast ja alustasid nüüd andmeteaduse lektorina. Kirjelda palun paari lausega oma doktoritööd. Uurisin oma doktoritöös seda, kuidas teha äriprotsesside […]

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 […]

You can find out more about Abasi-Amefon Obot Affia’s PhD thesis here.  In the dynamic world of the Internet of Things (IoT), ensuring robust security is paramount. As IoT systems become increasingly integrated into various sectors, the complexity of managing security risks escalates. Recognising this challenge, the IoT Architecture-based Security Risk Management (IoTA-SRM) framework has been introduced, […]

Protests and conflicts have become influential forces for bringing about change and shaping the political and social landscapes not only on a local demographic level but also on a global scale. In the modern Internet and online social media era, protests have increasingly utilized digital platforms to facilitate discussions, coordinate actions, and spread respective agendas. […]

With the development of Online Social Media (OSM) platforms like Twitter and Facebook, the way individuals connect and exchange information has changed dramatically. 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 […]

Building healthy relationships and meaningful interactions with those around us is essential for social well-being.

This is conceivable […]

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 9th of December Jakob Mass defended his PhD thesis on „Process management for Internet of mobile things“. The Internet of Things (IoT) promotes solutions such as a smart city, where everyday objects connect with info systems and each other. One example is a road condition monitoring system, where connected vehicles, such as buses, […]

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 […]

We are currently in the process of significant changes in the communications paradigms. Among others, one of the changes is moving to cloud-based services instead of using local applications (Office365, Youtube, Spotify, etc.). We can argue about the motivation of this trend, but this allows us to provide the customers with the most up-to-date solutions […]

On December 21, Madis Vasser defended his PhD thesis „Testing a Computational Theory of Brain Functioning with Virtual Reality“. In his thesis, he investigated the concept of active inference (AI) using virtual reality (VR) devices. During the work they developed VR software, conducted experiments on human study participants and compiled a set of guidelines for […]
