HIIT seminar
Exactum, B119TitleExploration and retrieval of whole-metagenome sequencing samplesAbstractOver the recent years, the field of whole metagenome shotgun sequencing has witnessed significant growth due to the next generation sequencing technologies that allow sequencing genomic samples cheaper, faster, and with better coverage than before. This technical advancement has... -
24/10/13: ICS Forum: Chaos and Control (Elizabeth Bradley, University of Colorado) (Aalto CS Events)Chaos and ControlProf. Elizabeth Bradley, University of Colorado, US
Abstract:Understanding and exploiting the special properties of chaos can lead to designs that vastly improve the performance of many practical and useful systems --- spacecraft trajectories that require less fuel, for example, or tracking circuitry with broader capture ranges and fuel injectors that mix gasoline and air more effectively. Control strategies that leverage chaos's characteristic geometry, ergodicity...

Modeling human hand functions in mobile input for interface design and evaluation
MSc. Joanna Bergström-Lehtovirta, HIIT
Abstract:The hands are our primary means to manipulate the environment. Due to the large number of degrees of freedom and tremendous connection to neural system, hands can perform skilled movements and are a common input channel in human-computer interfaces. Mobile contexts, however, introduce immense number of physiological and cognitive tasks that affect manual...

Guest lecture
Exactum C222You are warmly welcome to Markus Miettinen's (TU Darmstadt) guest
lecture this Wednesday at noon at C222:ConXsense - Context Sensing for Adaptive Usable Access Control
The increasing use of contextual features and context data in
contemporary smartphones poses challenges to the management of users'
security and privacy settings. On one hand, contextual factors need... -

HIIT seminar
Aalto University, Computer Science Building, lecture hall T2Title: Fast sequence segmentation using log-linear models
Abstract:
Sequence segmentation is a well-studied classic problem, where given a sequence of
elements, an integer K, and some measure of homogeneity, the task is to split
the sequence into K contiguous segments that are maximally homogenous. A
classic approach to find the... -
07/10/13: ICS Forum: Nyquist barrier - not for all! (Jaan Pelt, Tartu Observatory) (Aalto CS Events)Nyquist barrier - not for all!Dr. Jaan Pelt, Tartu Observatory, Estonia
Abstract:Nyquist-Shannon-Kotelnikov-Whittaker theorem states that if a function does not contain frequencies higher than B Hz then it is completely determined by giving its ordinates at a series of points spaced 1/(2B) seconds apart. It is this barrier frequency B that is the topic of this talk. I will approach the barrier from both sides. First I will talk about randomly spaced measurement series. This is the...
