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 […]

27. jaanuaril kulmineerus esimene üliõpilaste ja gümnasistide võistlus Delta X, kus arvutiteaduse instituut pani välja viis vägevat võistlust, millest üks keskendus isejuhtivate sõidukite tehnoloogiale. Osalejad pidid masinõpet rakendades looma tarkvara, mis paneb nende mudelauto läbima etteantud raja kõige kiiremini.  Delta X isejuhtivate sõidukite võistluse eesmärk oli pakkuda üliõpilastele ja gümnasistidele võimalust töötada tarkvaraga, mis leiab […]

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 […]
