You can find out more about Kristiina Rahkema’s PhD thesis in English here.  Nutitelefonidest on saanud meie elu lahutamatu osa. Iga asja jaoks on olemas äpp: sõnumite saatmiseks, internetipanga külastuseks, auto lukust avamiseks. Kahjuks on paljud neist rakendustest ebaturvalised. Turvavigu on avastatud sellistes rakendustes nagu Facebook, TikTok ja WhatsApp. Nende turvavigade raskusaste võib ulatuda andmelekkest […]

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 […]

Eesti Energia on Eesti ainus energeetikahiid. Ta osaleb IT-tööstusmagistrantuuris juba kolmandat korda — oma kogemusi jagab meiega Eesti Energia tehnoloogiaskaut Kristjan Eljand. Miks osaleb Eesti Energia IT-tööstusmagistrantuuri programmis? Ühelt poolt soovime natukene kaasa aidata sellele, et tudengid saaksid praktilise kogemuse andmeteadusega, aga teisipidi on see selgelt meile endale ka kasu toov projekt. Kui meie enda […]

More than 2000 participants were involved in cyber defence exercise Locked Shields 2022 that took place from April 19 to 22. This year, one of the venues of the event was the Delta Centre in Tartu. Employees of the HPC Center of the University of Tartu and the Institute of Computer Science participated in the […]

Kui minu käest küsiti, kas oleksin nõus kirjutama iseenda näitel loo, miks tulla Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituuti õppima, siis olin kohe nõus. Tegelikult oleksin ma peaaegu juba ise ka varem soovi avaldanud, et jagada oma positiivset kogemust seoses õppekavaga “IT mitteinformaatikutele” , aga eestlane minus võitis.  Kui vaadata esmalt, kuidas põhjendavad programmi eestvedajad, miks seda […]

Intervjueeris Raimond-Hendrik Tunnel Meie eelmine mängujämmide lugu andis ülevaate Tartu Ülikooli mängujämmidest ning kirjeldas nende käigus loodud märkimisväärseid mänge. Seekord kõneleme samal teemal arvutiteaduse instituudi hajussüsteemide nooremlektori Jürmo Mehisega. Jürmo on osalenud mitmetel jämmidel ning olnud paljude mängujämmide õhtujuht. Vestlesime tema huvidest, teest mängundusse ning mängujämmide ja Eesti mänguarenduse tulevikust. Tean, et sa tegeled päris […]

Raimond-Hendrik Tunnel Oktoobri alguses toimus Tartu Ülikooli Delta õppe- ja teadushoones ülikooli mängujämm – University of Tartu Game Jam 2021. Üritusel osales 44 noort videomängude loomise huvilist, kes moodustasid üheksa meeskonda ja lõid sama palju uusi väikseid arvutimänge. Mängude prototüübid ehitati valmis kahe päevaga ja lähemalt saab sellest jämmist lugeda juba arvutigraafika ja virtuaalreaalsuse labori […]

Researchers from the University of Tartu’s Institute of Computer Science are taking part in the EU Horizon project SPATIAL (Security and Privacy Accountable Technology Innovations, Algorithms and Machine Learning), which aims to develop resilient accountable metrics, privacy-preserving methods, verification tools and system solutions that will serve as critical building blocks for trustworthy AI in ICT […]

The article was translated and published in English by the University of Tartu. It was initially published in Estonian in Eesti Ekspress by Greete Lehepuu. The cover of the September issue of Communications of ACM, the most prestigious journal in computer science, featured an article led by University of Tartu researchers. The article proposes steps to tackle one of […]
