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 […]

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 […]

Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituudi keeletehnoloogia rühmas valmis bakalaureusetöö “Soome-ugri väikeste keelte neuromasintõlke edendamine” raames vabalt kasutatav mitmekeelne masintõlkesüsteem väiksematele soome-ugri keeltele nagu eesti, soome, võru, põhjasaami ja lõunasaami. Töö autor on Maali Tars ja teda juhendas Andre Tättar. Lõputöö põhjal avaldati teaduslik artikkel äsja toimunud NoDaLiDa keeletehnoloogia konverentsil pealkirja all “Extremely low-resource machine translation for […]

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 […]

On the 15th of March, our doctoral student Yauhen Yakimenka defended his PhD thesis on the intersection of two different fields of computer science: error-correction codes and compressed sensing. Most of the information on the internet is now transmitted over fibre optics. It’s extremely fast, but it comes with a price: now the erros also […]

Institute of Computer Science Professor of Engineering Dietmar Pfahl has co-authored a paper “Status Quo in Requirements Engineering: A Theory and a Global Family of Surveys”. This publication is an outcome of the NaPiRE (Naming the Pain in Requirements Engineering) project. The objective of the NaPiRE project is to establish a valid foundation for a […]

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 […]

Write-up by Ilya Kuzovkin of our publication in Nature Communications Biology that is a result of a long research carried out by myself, Jaan Aru and Raul Vicente from Computational Neuroscience Lab and our collaborators from Neuroscience Research Center in Lyon, France. Human visual cortex, the system we use to perceive the world around us, consists […]

6. aprillil andis president Kersti Kaljulaid pidulikul tseremoonial üle noore teadlase preemia ja noore IT-teadlase eripreemia, mille tänavu pälvisid vastavalt TÜ arvutiteaduse instituudi vanemteadur Leopold Parts ja keeletehnoloogia õppetooli juhataja Mark Fišel. Noore teadlase preemia laureaat Leopold Parts on Suurbritannias maailma ühe suurima genoomikakeskuse Wellcome Trust Sangeri Instituudi teadusrühma juht ja Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituudi […]
