By combining old clinical specimens and new technology, it was determined that Enterococcus faecalis, a pathogen well known for hospital-acquired infections, has adapted to hospital conditions already in mid-nineteenth century – long before the first modern hospitals were built. [...]
DataLit wants to raise awareness about the need for data literacy. It approaches this by busting myths and common misunderstandings about data. [...]
AI-Mind is a 5-year project funded by Horizon 2020, with the goal of facilitating a paradigm shift in clinical practice of mild cognitive impairment. A team of Aalto University and HUS Helsinki University Hospital researchers are involved in the project. [...]
The magazine pays tribute to the development of a model that starkly reduces the amount of data needed for generating new, artificial images. [...]
Questions regarding the ethics of artificial intelligence provoked a lively discussion in Finland’s largest science event The Science Forum. [...]
Researchers at FCAI have developed a machine learning-based method that can produce research data synthetically. The application is based on a method that allows academics and companies to share data with each other without compromising the privacy of the individuals involved in the study. [...]
Researchers from the University of Helsinki are developing a positioning system based on machine learning and an increasingly accurate and inexpensive navigation solution. [...]
HIIT's activities and plans were reviewed by the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) consisting of internationally prominent scholars invited by the HIIT Board. [...]
New methods for approximate Bayesian inference are both tools for artificial intelligence and models of human intelligence. [...]
Yield Systems aims to have a significant sustainable impact on the global food system by creating cost efficient AI capabilities for plant breeding and speeding up the development of crop yields and adaptation to climate change. [...]
Researchers in Helsinki have developed an artificial intelligence based spectral imaging technology that will make color determination accurate, universally true and accessible to everyone with a smartphone. [...]
A network of sensors that measure air quality is being built in Helsinki, which can be used as the basis for a range of health-promoting applications to help avoid air pollution. [...]
A new open online course by the University of Helsinki and technology company Reaktor explains the algorithms behind AI. Building AI is a sequel to Elements of AI, the international phenomenon that has been voted the world’s best computer science course. [...]
Researchers at the University of Helsinki have developed a technique for obtaining accurate information on air quality using simple and inexpensive measuring equipment. Thanks to the new technique, low-cost sensors could be utilised with a considerably broader scope. [...]
Ad providers want to increase their sales whereas users try to avoid ads disrupting them. Research collaboration studied how advertisements can be made effective but non-disruptive to users. [...]

The Animal-Computer Interaction research team at Aalto University's Department of Computer Science designed and built a tunnel-shaped sound device of wood and plastic for small monkeys, which was placed in their own residential area in the Amazon House of Korkeasaari Zoo. [...]
Professor Janne Lindqvist from Aalto University has joined HIIT. The HIIT Board elected 7th of October 2020 Janne Lindqvist to be a new Vice Director of HIIT. [...]
Researchers at the University of Helsinki have developed a technique in which a computer models visual perception by monitoring human brain signals. In a way, it is as if the computer tries to imagine what a human is thinking about. [...]
