Helsinki ICT Research Events

Algodan, the Center of Excellence in Algorithmic Data Analysis, presents posters about its research in the 2nd floor corridor.

The posters are up all day, and researchers will be present to discuss their work approximately between 13:30-15:30.

The event is part of the Scientific Advisory Board visit, but this is a good opportunity for anyone interested to learn more about what the center of excellence is...

Abstract:
The mandatory first step for a wide range of biological analyses is the alignment of short DNA sequences into a reference genome. We first discuss a method, extending Rabin and Karp's algorithm, to find all occurrences of a pattern P with up to k mismatches inside a text T, with average complexity O(|P| + |T|)--assuming an uniform distribution over T. We then show how to employ this idea in conjunction with...

All students and staff are welcome to our spring term conclusion sauna! Our purpose is to spend a nice evening in casual style, and to also improve communication between students and teachers. Some salad and other snacks are available for free but bring your own sauna drinks with you. Going to the sauna is of course optional as the venue has plenty of space for hanging out. The sauna is organised by...

Abstract  The term “user-Centric identity management” is commonly used to denote any identity management solution that can improve the user experience compared to e.g. the traditional silo identity model. Identity federation can be described as user-centric in this sense because it can support SSO (single-sign-on), but identity federation can also be described as network-centric or cloud-...

Abstract  Mining frequent patterns is plagued by the problem of pattern explosion making pattern reduction techniques a key challenge in pattern mining. In this talk we propose a theoretical framework for pattern reduction. We do this by measuring the robustness of a property of an itemset such as closedness or non-derivability. The robustness of a property is the probability that this property holds on random subsets...

Project in Data Compression Techniques concludes with presentations. Program:

 Title: Molecular Communications: A new communication paradigm for nanoscale devices

Abstract

In recent years, nanotechnology has progressed tremendously resulting in sophisticated devices that are able to support various health care applications. Example of these applications include improved monitoring processes for critical patients, improved and targeted drug delivery, etc. While these...

The program consists of a talk by Pasi Rastas:

Title: Constructing Genome-wide Linkage Maps for Moths and Butterflies

Abstract:

In this talk I will describe some key concepts of LEPIDOPTERA-MAP, a novel tool for constructing an accurate and comprehensive genetic linkage maps for butterflies and moths (lepidopterans) with next-generation sequencing (NGS) data from natural population samples and their offspring...
