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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

Alguses võib IT-tööstusmagistrantuur tunduda nagu võõras asi, kuid paljud UT tudengid on selle edukalt ning õnnelikult läbinud! Järgnevalt saad lugeda kahe tudengi – Lukase (inglise keeles) ning Artjomi (eesti keeles) – kogemustest ITTM-is. Lukas (ENG) Lukas is a second year Computer Science master’s student. He applied to Reach-U as part of the Industrial Master’s Programme […]

Kui tahad näha, kuidas sinu õppetööst on kohene ja reaalne kasu, siis kaalu läbida IT-tööstusmagistratuur Raitwoodis. Raitwood toodab ja turustab põhjamaisest okaspuust ehitus- ja viimistluspuitu. Nende Tartumaa täisautomaatne tootmiskompleks on Euroopa üks moodsamaid ning sealt ekspordivad nad oma toodangut enam kui 40 riiki Euroopas, Aasias, Austraalias ning Ameerikas. Oleks ju lahe magistritöös tõdeda, et tänu […]

Reach-U on ettevõte, mis tegeleb tarkvaraarenduse ja andmeteadusega koostöös klientidega üle maailma. Reach-U on IT-tööstusmagistrantuuri veteran, kes on programmi partnerettevõte olnud selle algusest peale. Oma kogemusest programmis räägib Reach-U tegevjuht Teet Jagomägi. Mida tuleb teha ühel ettevõttel, et programmis osaleda? Kui ma õigesti mäletan, siis osalemiseks tuleb kandideerida. Kõige olulisem on aga hea välja näha, […]

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 […]

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 […]
