Author: Phuong Nguyen “High-performance computing (HPC) is the use of super computers and parallel processing techniques for solving complex computational problems. Nowadays, HPC plays an important role in the field of computational science, and are used for a wide range of computationally intensive tasks in various fields, including quantum mechanics, weather forecasting, climate research, oil […]

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 […]

Mis on arvutuslik neuroteadus? Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituudi üks kõige paeluvamaid teadusvaldkondi on kahtlemata arvutuslik neuroteadus. Selle uurimisgrupi töös kohtub inimaju, maailma kõige keerulisem arvutusmasin, tehisintellektiga. Kui neuroteadus on püüd aru saada, kuidas aju töötab, siis arvutuslik neuroteadus püüab mõista, kuidas aju “arvutab” või töötleb informatsiooni. Arvutuslik neuroteadus kasutab sealjuures arvutit kui tööriista ja kui […]

  Institute of Computer Science organizes public seminars on various topics related to data science. In March 15, the seminar topic was autonomous vehicles. We had several intriguing guest speakers, including Andrej Karpathy, the Director of AI at Tesla, who told us about the technology behind Tesla’s self-driving cars. While Andrej’s (and Starship’s Lindsey Roberts’) […]
