F-Secure, Intel and Nixu partner with Helsinki-Aalto Center for Information Security HAIC in response to high demand for information security experts. Demand for highly qualified information security professionals has increased dramatically. The number of available job openings significantly exceeds the number of qualified candidates. At the same time, there is widespread concern that many information security professionals lack proper training needed for their current jobs. “The increasing...

Students and researchers develop new products and solutions at the Industrial Internet Campus using the open interfaces and data from the crane. In spring 2016 Konecranes and Aalto University agreed on education and research cooperation in industrial internet. Today the CEO of Konecranes, Panu Routila, has inaugurated the donated smart crane at the Aalto University Industrial Internet Campus. The crane’s smart functions relate to safe operation and condition monitoring. Its control system is...

Deep neural networks enable the opening of image layers and distinguishing between audio signals. Researchers into artificial intelligence have found a new way of approaching a visual reasoning principle called perceptual grouping. A robot learned to group its observations meaningfully unsupervised so that it had not been taught grouping criteria separately. “When a robot sees pictures, it learns not only to distinguish between the independent parts of the picture, but also to combine the...

An international research team has found a new replacement mechanism that causes mutations in both humans and bacteria. The mechanism can cause several changes to a short stretch of DNA simultaneously. The research was conducted by observing fragments of DNA sequence that contained plenty of mutations. ‘In order to find out how common the new mutation mechanism is, genome data was analysed using computational bioinformatics and by mining the massive genome data related to the mutation...

The Engine for Likelihood-Free Inference is open to everyone, and it can help significantly reduce the number of simulator runs. Researchers have succeeded in building an engine for likelihood-free inference, which can be used to model reality as accurately as possible in a simulator. The engine may revolutionise the many fields in which computational simulation is utilised. This development work is resulting in the creation of ELFI, an engine for likelihood-free inference, which will...

Students can combine engineering physics and advanced materials studies with innovation, business and entrepreneurship education. Master’s programme in Advanced Materials for Innovation and Sustainability (AMIS) was awarded EIT label by the European Institute for Innovation and Technology in September 2016. Three Master`s programmes of EIT KIC Raw Materials were labelled and AMIS programme will start in September...

The UDBMS research group led by Prof. Jiaheng Lu recently received a research grant for big data research from Huawei Open Research Innovation Program (HIRP) . This is an internationally open research competition. This program have received a large number of submissions (more than 600 submissions this year) and only competitive ones are finally chosen for receiving the research award. The title of the project is "Large Scale Heterogeneous Data Processing". ...
