  • Aalto University researchers have been involved in both chairing and participating in the program committees. The ECML-PKDD conference -The European Conference on Machine Learning & Principles And Practice Of Knowledge Discovery Databases - is a premier venue for European researchers to meet and discuss their latest research findings in their research area of machine learning and data mining. "It has been a large coordination...
  • Finland has every possibility to be a leader in artificial intelligence. Space had to be rearranged at the TUAS building at the Otaniemi campus of Aalto University on a rainy Tuesday morning to provide seats for all who showed up at the Al Goes Industry Digi Breakfast. 'We have representatives from around 70 companies here', said Academy Professor Samuel Kaski as he opened the most popular Digi Breakfast in the history of Aalto University. He is part of a steering group set up by the...
  • Colloquium is a new element in Computer Science Master's level education. The main purpose of this seminar series is to give structure for Master's thesis work, but as the name suggests the seminar is targeted to be a common gathering of students and faculty. In the first meeting on Friday 15.9.2017 14:15 - 16:00 CK112, we will have presentations of Master's theses...

  • Aalto University is a member of Intel Labs' CARS research lab that tackles security and privacy challenges of autonomous systems. Intel and leading European universities in the field of cybersecurity and privacy will open a new initiative for “Collaborative Autonomous & Resilient Systems” (CARS). Collaborating institutions include Aalto University, TU Darmstadt, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, TU Wien, and Luxembourg University. The coordinator of the new CARS lab will be TU Darmstadt serving...
  • Researchers from FIMM, HIIT and University of Turku have demonstrated that carefully optimized machine learning models offer complementary and cost-effective approach to experimental determination of drug-target interactions, allowing for prioritization of the most potent targets for further in vitro or ex vivo target validation in the laboratory. Over the recent years, increasing efforts have been devoted to the development of computational methods that could support different stages of...
  • In his doctoral thesis Dr. Aittala studied and developed new methods for producing realistic computer graphics. The dissertation award of the Finnish Society for Computer Science was presented to Dr. Miika Aittala in the Annual Symposium of Computer Science in Finland on September 1st, 2017, in Otaniemi. Dr. Aittala’s doctoral dissertation "Computational methods for capture and reproduction of photorealistic surface appearance" was already chosen as one of the three best dissertations of 2016...
  • The paper "Reduced Cost Fixing in MaxSAT", authored by Antti Hyttinen, Matti Järvisalo, and Paul Saikko of the HIIT / University of Helsinki Constraint Reasoning and Optimization group in collaboration with Fahiem Bacchus (University of Toronto,...
