Risto Hinno on hea näide sellest, kuidas karjäär võib võtta põneva pöörde. Varasemalt digiteenuste tellijana töötanud Risto otsustas süvendada oma teadmisi IT-valdkonnas ning asus õppima Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituudi magistriõppekaval „IT mitteinformaatikutele“ . Õpingute käigus avanes talle arenduse ja andmeteaduse maailm sedavõrd kaasahaaravalt, et see viis ta lõpuks ka idufirmasse tööle. Oma kogemusloos jagab ta ausalt teekonda […]

Toomas Gross on suure ja mitmekülgse akadeemilise kogemusega antropoloog, kes on töötanud aastaid õppejõu ja teadlasena. Oma töös jõudis ta arusaamani, et nüüdisaegne teadus ja õppetöö eeldavad üha enam ka tehnoloogilist ning andmeteaduslikku kirjaoskust. Soov end proovile panna ja intellektuaalsest mugavustsoonist väljuda viis ta Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituudi magistriõppekava „IT mitteinformaatikutele“ alusel õppima. Kogemusloos kirjeldab […]

Kaspar Kala läbis Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituudi magistriõppekava „IT mitteinformaatikutele“. Varem on ta õppinud õigusteadust nii Eestis kui ka Hollandis ning praegu töötab projektijuhi, analüütiku ja majasisese juristina. Kaspar on justkui sild kahe valdkonna, IT ja õiguse vahel. Loe Kaspari kogemuslugu informaatika õppimisest. Enne informaatikaõppesse kandideerimist määratlesin end eelkõige juristina. Lõpetanud õigusteaduse bakalaureuseõpingud Tartu Ülikoolis ja […]

Lecturer of Applied AI Armando Vieira shares his thoughts on Medium, an online publishing platform. The dominant discourse on AI alignment rests on a quiet but catastrophic assumption: that morality can be imposed on systems that do not experience anything. The debate unfolds as if values were transferable objects — encoded, optimized, constrained — rather than lived […]

The dominant paradigm in modern AI rests on a deceptively simple premise: intelligence emerges from minimizing prediction error across vast datasets. We train neural networks to be accurate, to match patterns, to reduce loss functions. Yet this approach, for all its empirical success, may be fundamentally misaligned with the nature of intelligence itself. Here is […]

Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituudi doktorant Mari-Liis Allikivi ja lektor Ardi Tampuu alustavad uue õppeainega „Tehisintellekti rakendamise projekt“, kus nad õpetavad üliõpilasi kasutama tehisaru päriselu probleemide lahendamiseks. Mida see uus projektipõhine aine üliõpilastele annab ja kas see võiks huvi pakkuda ka ettevõtetele, uuris andmeteaduse õppetooli juhataja professor Jaak Vilo. Avate peagi täiesti uue õppeaine – seda ei […]

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.

You can find out more about Pavlo Tertychnyi’s PhD thesis here.  Money laundering represents a substantial risk to global financial systems, allowing criminals to conceal the illegitimate origins of funds and integrate them into the lawful economy. Its repercussions extend beyond financial ramifications, encompassing the destabilization of financial systems, threats to national security, and the erosion […]

Imagine a room with millions of mysterious switches and hundreds of ceiling lamps. You don’t know which switch does what, but you’re curious. As you experiment with different combinations, the lamps’ brightness varies. This scene is a simple metaphor for the complex challenge of genomics research – understanding how different genetic ‘switches’ affect our health. […]

Together with colleagues from the UK and Sweden, the  UT Institute of Computer Science is organizing the first international workshop on the Testing of Automated Driving Systems (TestADS). The workshop takes place in Toronto, Canada, as part of the 17th IEEE International Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation (ICST’24). The TestADS workshop aims to […]

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 […]
