Research

The focus of the department's research activity is on advanced computational methods for modelling, analysing, and solving complex tasks in technology and science. The research aims at the development of fundamental computer science methods for the analysis of large and high-dimensional data sets, and for the modelling and design of complex software, networking and other computational systems.

Two Centres of Excellence in Research coordinate a considerable part of the research of the Department of Information and Computer Science. The Centres are the Adaptive Informatics Research Centre (AIRC) and the Algorithmic Data Analysis Centre of Excellence (Algodan) , which is shared between the University of Helsinki and Helsinki University of Technology. Research at AIRC covers the areas Algorithms and Methods, Multimodal Interfaces, Bioinformatics and Neuroinformatics , Computational Cognitive Systems and Adaptive Informatics Applications. Activities of the Algodan Centre at TKK concentrate in the research groups on Data Mining: Theory and Applications and Parsimonious Modelling. Some of the research groups are also partners of the Helsinki Institute for Information Technology (HIIT).

The research groups at the Department of Information and Computer Science are:

• Bayesian Algorithms for Latent Variable Models
• Combinatorial Algorithms and Computation
• Computational Cognitive Systems
• Computational Logic
• Content-Based Image and Information Retrieval
• Cryptography
• Data Mining: Theory and Applications
