9. aprillil 2026 kaitses Hele-Andra Kuulmets oma doktoritöö „Cross-Lingual Transfer Learning and Evaluation in Low-Resource Settings“(„Keeltevaheline siirdeõpe ja selle hindamine väheste ressurssidega oludes“, juhendaja Mark Fišel). Küsisime, kuidas Hele-Andra teekond teadusmaailmas on kulgenud. Mida tundsid oma esimesel päeval doktorandina? Ma ei mäleta oma esimest päeva doktorandina, sest ametlikult algasid mu õpingud märtsi alguses, mil kevadsemester oli […]

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 […]

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 […]

Machine Translation is a quickly growing field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) that automatically translates a text from one language to another without human involvement.  In recent years, the use of machine translation systems has increased dramatically. Today machine translation is used not only by translation agencies but also by people using online machine translation […]

Estonia does not have many natural minerals or a significant population like many wealthy countries, but it has the most unicorns per capita globally. As most unicorns use technology to offer solutions for solving problems, we need more IT practitioners who can use computation power to solve various algorithmic issues.  “Thinking computationally is not anymore […]

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 the 21st of February, Faiz Ali Shah defended his PhD thesis on “Extracting information from app reviews to facilitate software development activities” which evaluates the existing Text Mining techniques for extracting developer-relevant information from app reviews at different levels of granularity, and then combined these techniques to develop a tool REVSUM for competitive analysis. […]

Digital games producer Edvin Aedma tells us how one presentation from Keith Devlin inspired him to take up teaching game development and how it affected UniTartuCS. Sometimes before 2012, Keith Devlin visited Institute of Computer Science at University of Tartu and gave a rather fascinating lecture about the synergy between teaching mathematics and videogames. I […]

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 […]

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.
