The original article (in Estonian) by Airika Harrik was published in Novaator. Estonia has used the ID card system as a means to identify its citizens for almost 20 years. During those years, several security issues have emerged. A new PhD dissertation from the University of Tartu has shed light on those issues and pointed […]

27. jaanuaril kulmineerus esimene üliõpilaste ja gümnasistide võistlus Delta X, kus arvutiteaduse instituut pani välja viis vägevat võistlust, millest üks keskendus isejuhtivate sõidukite tehnoloogiale. Osalejad pidid masinõpet rakendades looma tarkvara, mis paneb nende mudelauto läbima etteantud raja kõige kiiremini.  Delta X isejuhtivate sõidukite võistluse eesmärk oli pakkuda üliõpilastele ja gümnasistidele võimalust töötada tarkvaraga, mis leiab […]

We are glad to announce that the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) has recognized Prof. Jaak Vilo as their Senior Member being the first researcher from Estonia who has received this prestigious title. ACM is the world’s largest educational and scientific computing society, which every year awards its members, who for years have demonstrated performance […]

Our faculty member, Stefania Tomasiello, lecturer of Artificial Intelligence, recently joined IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems (IEEE TNNLS) as associate editor. IEEE TNNLS publishes articles that deal with the theory, design, and applications of neural networks and related learning systems. It is a premier journal in the field of Neural Networks and […]

By Anastasiia Shevchenko The digitalisation of the manufacturing industry is a challenge that lots of countries are facing. There have been created different financial instruments[1], training programmes[2], software solutions[3], etc. developed for manufacturing companies by the government, public institutions, and other private companies in order to raise awareness and support digital transformation. However, it is […]

By Aleksander Parelo On January 28, the Industrial master’s students gathered virtually at Overall, where I introduced the company itself and the projects I worked on for the last year. Unfortunately, due to the virtual meeting, I could not give a tour of the Overall office, which most of the Industrial master’s students, who have […]

Juba bakalaureuseõppesse astudes ma teadsin, et magistriõpe on minu jaoks järgmine loogiline samm. Kuigi ma olin saanud põhjaliku interdistsiplinaarse kogemuse nii praktilisel kui ka teoreetilisel tasandil, siis ma ei tundnud, et mu õppimistee oleks olnud täielik, kui ma ei jätkaks seda magistris. Lühidalt öeldes ma leidsin, et kolme aastaga, mis kulus mul bakalaureusekraadi omandamiseks, ei […]

By Dima Fishman Machine learning is a study of computer algorithms capable of automatically learning ways to solve difficult problems from the existing data without being explicitly programmed. Over time machine learning methods have substantially contributed to human progress across many areas. Machine learning has been taught for many years in the Institute of Computer […]

21-23 January Estonian partner of the InnoCAPE project, the University of Tartu Institute of Computer Science, kicked-off the series of InnoCAPE hackathons. Preparation of the event took 5 months and 4 strong and motivated partners –  University of Tartu Institute of Computer Science, an institute that is recognized as number 176-200 by the prestigious Times […]

Oma ligi 80-aastase ajaloo juures on elektronarvutid fundamentaalselt muutnud info kogumist, töötlust ja kommunikatsiooni. Kiirete numbriliste arvutuste võimaldajast (computer oli ametinimetus käsitsi arvutajatele, peamiselt tegelesid sellega meestest palju hoolikamad naised) sai kuuekümnendatel ettevõtete andmete, palgatšekkide ja reserveeringute haldaja. Kui 1980ndatel jõudsid personaalarvutid ja tabelarvutus massidesse, kadusid masinakirjutajad. Edasi avas ülemaailmne võrk Internet ligipääsu kaugel olevale […]

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 […]

This year’s last meeting for the Industrial Master’s, which was convened by the students themself took place in Sandbox, where Hasan introduced his work at Statistics Estonia and later everyone got to bake gingerbreads. Plenty has happened in a year after moving to Tartu and we are glad, that we are still standing together. This […]
