  1. Ah, this classic awkward moment at a thesis defense in Finland when a few rookies begin to clap, but half a second later remember The Protocol Does Not Allow it, and that you're not supposed to ask questions when they ask whether you have any, and why are you even being so social

  2. The 19th Location Based Services conference #LBS2025 is about to start in #Espoo at #AaltoUniversity.

    I am presenting tomorrow, so today I get to chillax 😎 We have a very good representation from @digigeolab

  3. New #openaccess publication #SciPost #Physics

  4. Our / kickstart course starts tomorrow at 12:00 EEST / 11:00 CEST. It is livestream, so anyone can watch with no questions asked. Register for the Q&A document, even if you aren't at (and we teach so that it's useful to others too).

    Day 1: basic background and examples. Day 2-3: Using a cluster.

  5. We received funding for 12 doctoral student positions in the Doctoral Training Network "Privacy for Smart Speech Technology" (PSST), as a collaboration between and . The call for open positions will open in fall 2024.

    Watch this space for further information!

  6. Apply for a fully funded PhD position now! Topics in my team range from privacy in speech processing, speech enhancement and low-resource speech processing to speech interaction modelling, while FCAI in general covers most areas of machine learning and AI.

  7. We recently got more stickers, this time focused on recognizing the whole community at :

    - "SciComp Garage" stickers to tell about our daily recurring help session.
    - "DO disturb" to recognize those who go above and beyond to help their colleagues - since they are the under-appreciated foundation of our work.

  8. SciComp people: we recently had a "user group meeting" where we described some recent activities and asked for input on the future. If you missed it, you can read the slides here: docs.google.com/presentation/d

  9. On Friday, we'll have a lightweight Research Software talk, where we'll demonstrate extracting a component out of some software, and releasing it as a separate package. This is a quick informal thing, more "discussion-demo" than a talk. Anyone is welcome to join: Online, Friday 10:00 EET, info at scicomp.aalto.fi/tech/

  10. Muistatteko @ammu n tovi sitten jakaman kuvan #AaltoManagement in järkkäämästä All ucceli panel -vaalitentistä?

    No ei siinä vielä kaikki!

    Että #vaalitentti on kirjaimellisesti miehitetty pelkillä keski-ikäisillä, oikeistolaisilla uccelseilla.

    Se myös: Esitetään #X:ssä

    Ja: #ElonMusk mainostaa twiitissään sen esittämistä palvelussaan.

    How low can you go #AaltoUniversity?

  11. Before #NCSA #Mosaic, #Netscape and all modern browser nonsense, there was #Erwise browser. Erwise was released in April 1992 and it was a thesis project from 4 Helsinki University of Technology (now called #aaltouniversity) students. The project stalled when the people behind it graduated and moved to new things, and no funding for continuing the project was found.

    Apparently there was some external interest to continue the project, but all documentation being in Finnish stymied such attempts. Some estimates suggest that this delayed development of world wide web by about a year. #www #earlydays

  12. I'm back in Helsinki and super excited about my course on #tractable #probabilistic modelling at #aaltouniversity! Looking forward to explore the space and limitations of #tractable computations in #probabilisticmodels with students.

  13. I’m excited to be organising a special #course on #tractable #probabilisticmodelling at #AaltoUniversity at the end of this term.

    Please consider joining if you are at Aalto and interested in the topic.

  14. was at CSC's LUMI-G course this week, so that you don't have to. ( is the new -focused supercomputer)

    Our evaluation: a great resource, but usage beyond compiling your own code may not yet be straightforward. We've been experimenting with it, so if you are at , contact us about your projects and we can help run it on LUMI, if it makes sense.

  15. @FCAI Update on Zheyang’s status: The opponent got there on the last minute, gave an enlightening view of the position of the thesis in #BayesianModeling and #GaussianProcess es, and asked a set of broad and challenging questions. Zheyand did outstandingly well, with still some unsolved questions which he will be eager to pursue when on the job market at some point. Big congrats Zheyang Shen and many thanks opponent Chris Oates! #PhD #AaltoUniversity @FCAI
