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, […]

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 […]

Estonia does not have many natural minerals or a significant population like many wealthy countries, but it has the most unicorns per capita globally. As most unicorns use technology to offer solutions for solving problems, we need more IT practitioners who can use computation power to solve various algorithmic issues.  “Thinking computationally is not anymore […]

Digital games producer Edvin Aedma tells us how one presentation from Keith Devlin inspired him to take up teaching game development and how it affected UniTartuCS. Sometimes before 2012, Keith Devlin visited Institute of Computer Science at University of Tartu and gave a rather fascinating lecture about the synergy between teaching mathematics and videogames. I […]

Mozilla projekt Common Voice tegeleb kõneandmete korjamisega ühisloome teel. Erinevalt tekstiandmetest on kõneandmed palju harvemad ja kõneandmestikud palju väiksemad/kallimad. Teisest küljest sõltuvad nende kättesaadavusest ja suurusest kõnesünteesi ja kõnetuvastuse kvaliteet, eriti kui kasutada kaasaegseid süvaõppel põhinevaid lähenemisi. See on eriti oluline muu hulgas eesti keelele, mille puhul on kõneandmeid väga vähe. Hiljuti lisasime eesti keele […]
