Helsinki ICT Research Events

Modern smartphones give raise to novel application and service types by way of their increasingly extensive sensing and data analysis capabilities.  A major limitation for such mobile apps and services is the device's battery power. 

In this talk we first discuss means for improving the energy-efficiency of sensing-intensive mobile services. Specifically, we focus on profiling and modeling the...

Dr. Christian Borgelt, Principal Researcher of European Centre for Soft Computing, Mieres (Asturias), Spain, will give a guest lecture on Identifying Neuron Assemblies in Massively Parallel Spike Trains.

Abstract

ABSTRACT

We aim to detect and diagnose code misbehavior that wastes energy,
which we call energy bugs. This talk describes a method and
implementation, called Carat, for performing such diagnosis on mobile
devices. Carat takes a collaborative, black-box approach. A
non-invasive client app sends intermittent, coarse-grained
measurements to a server, which identifies correlations between...

In this talk we assess the quality of phylogenies reconstructed from the composition of sparse structures in proteomes. Specifically, we use a set of repetitive gapped patterns, called motifs, whose length and sparsity have never been considered before. We find that extremely sparse motifs in mitochondrial proteomes support phylogenies of comparable quality to state-of-the-art string-based algorithms. Moving from maximal...

The Federated Computer Science Event (Yhdistetyt tietojenkäsittelyn päivät) is a two-day conference that combines the traditional annual events of three societies in Finland: The Finnish Society for Computer Science, the Pattern Recognition Society of Finland, and the Finnish Artificial Intelligence Society.  The event is held in 28-29.5.2012 at the Kumpula campus of the University of...
