Artikkel avaldati algselt Novaatoris. Ehkki tehisaru teeb üha rohkem inimeste elu mõjutavaid otsuseid, ei suuda see neid alati inimesele arusaadavalt põhjendada. Tartu Ülikoolis kaitstud doktoritöö osutab, et inimesed ootavad masinalt realistlikke ja usaldusväärselt mõjuvaid seletusi. Tehisaru teeb järjest rohkem otsuseid, mis mõjutavad inimeste elu. Seda kasutatakse haiglates diagnooside toetamisel, pankades laenutaotluste hindamisel ning hariduses õppijate […]

Meelis Kull on Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituudi tehisintellekti professor, Eesti tehisintellekti tippkeskuse juht, vast valitud akadeemik ning kolleegide ja tudengite poolt tunnustatud õppejõud. Teda usutlesid tehisintellekti tippkeskuse kommunikatsioonijuht Laura Altin ja andmeteaduse õppetooli juhiabi Kaia Kask. See intervjuu on pisut teistsugune kui tavaliselt. Viisime professor Meelis Kulli põgenemistuppa – temale oli see esimene selline käik. Väljapääs […]

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 […]

Kaur Alasoo, Associate Professor of Bioinformatics at the Institute of Computer Science, University of Tartu, has combined computer science and molecular biology in his research to find new ways of predicting the effects of genetic variants and to better understand rare diseases. He was interviewed by Professor Jaak Vilo, Head of the Chair of Data […]

Djeane Debora Onthoni has joined the Health Data and AI research group at the University of Tartu’s Institute of Computer Science, bringing international expertise in applying AI to health data analysis and precision medicine. He was interviewed by professor Jaak Vilo, Head of the Chair of Data Science. You recently came to Estonia to the […]

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. […]

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 […]

Jaak Vilo, professor, andmeteaduse magistriõppekava programmijuht Kahe aastaga jõudsid sisseastumisest lõpetamiseni kakskümmend kaheksa Eesti esimese andmeteaduse õppekava vilistlast, kes panustavad nüüd professionaalsete andmeteadlastena eri valdkondade andmete analüüsile ja tehisintellekti arendusele. Tartu Ülikool käivitas andmeteaduse magistrikava koostöös Majandus- ja kommunikatsiooniministeeriumiga (MKM), et leevendada ettevõtete ja riigisektori põuda vastava oskusteabega professionaalide järele.  Kuna Eestis on andmeteadlaste põud, […]

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 […]

On the 13th of December Lidia Feklistova defended her PhD thesis on „Learners of an introductory programming MOOC: background variables, engagement patterns and performance” We constantly improve our knowledge and skills to be successful. Participation in massive open online courses (MOOCs) supports ongoing professional development and lifelong learning. Keeping in mind the huge number of participants in […]

On the 9th of December Jakob Mass defended his PhD thesis on „Process management for Internet of mobile things“. The Internet of Things (IoT) promotes solutions such as a smart city, where everyday objects connect with info systems and each other. One example is a road condition monitoring system, where connected vehicles, such as buses, […]

On the 30th of September, Mubashar Iqbal defended his PhD. thesis on “Reference Framework for Managing Security Risks Using Blockchain” which addresses the problem of traditional applications’ security risk management (SRM) using blockchain as a countermeasure solution and the SRM of blockchain-based applications. In the digital realm, software security has the utmost importance in making […]
