Professor Samuel Kaski has directed the Centre of Excellence in Computational Inference Research COIN since February. Samuel Kaski says that machine learning research can contribute to the efficiency of science by linking new research results to previous findings by modelling their data sets. - Molecular biology is an example of an empirical data-driven scientific field, in which research results are currently related to earlier research mainly by means of papers written about them. It...

An article titled "Gap Filling as Exact Path Length Problem" is to be presented at RECOMB 2015 - a leading computational biology conference with 21% acceptance ratio this year. The problem considered is one of the last steps in a genome assembly project, that is, filling the gaps between consecutive contigs in the scaffolds. This problem can be naturally stated as...

The Carat research team got two awards from IEEE PerCom this week in St. Louis, USA. The article of Ella Peltonen, Eemil Lagerspetz, Petteri Nurmi, and Sasu Tarkoma: Energy Modeling of System Settings: A Crowdsourced Approach was honored by the Marc Weiser Best Paper Award. The article presented that crowdsourced data can be used to model battery consumption of mobile devices in real-life situations, when observing combinations of system settings, subsystem variables, and usage context of the...

Interactive exercise motivates both beginners and the more experienced – and inspires children. An augmented climbing wall, developed at Aalto University, combining projected graphics and body tracking using machine vision has been introduced as a pilot project at the Boulderkeskus bouldering center. The wall makes it possible to bring new kinds of exercise games and educational applications into places where people are already engaging in exercise and sport. At the Boulderkeskus, the...
