FCAI’s director Samuel Kaski receives major international funding for the development of AI methods
Samuel Kaski was awarded the Turing AI World-Leading Researcher Fellowship to establish a new center of excellence.
EntityBot is a digital assistant that knows users’ actual needs
The digital assistant EntityBot could help make computer usage easier by making suggestions based on the user’s actual needs, such as recommending relevant information.
Transforming dextrous robotic grasping
FCAI researchers have recently developed two fast AI methods for grasping objects with multi-finger robotic hands, bringing us closer to the practical use of multi-finger robotic hands.
Computers can predict our preferences directly from our brain
A research team from Helsinki and Copenhagen demonstrates it is possible to predict individual preferences based on how a person’s brain responses match up to others. This could potentially be used to provide individually-tailored media content — and perhaps even to enlighten us about ourselves.
Following e-cigarette conversations on Twitter using artificial intelligence
Machine learning methods help researchers follow social media promotions of addictive products to teenagers and young people.
AI learns to type on a phone like humans
A new computational model precisely replicates the eye and finger movements of touchscreen users - could lead to better auto-correct and keyboard usability for unique needs.
Strategic research agenda for the development of trustworthy AI in Europe
European Learning and Intelligence Systems Excellence (ELISE) has published its Strategic Research Agenda, setting out a roadmap for European leadership in the development of safe and effective AI systems.
New algorithm reveals how private privacy-preserving computations really are
The new algorithm is already being taken into use in a dedicated open source library released by Google and to an open source library developed by FCAI researchers. [...]
Researchers develop better way to determine safe drug doses for children

AI technique captures complexity of human faces to help create realistic photo edits
The ability to distil images to their most essential components and anticipate new scenes is what could drive computer vision and robotics forward. [...]
The resilience of a hospital-associated bacterium dates back over a century
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. [...]
Improving data literacy to support ethical decision-making
DataLit wants to raise awareness about the need for data literacy. It approaches this by busting myths and common misunderstandings about data. [...]
