20. oktoobri öösel natuke enne kella 3 koguneb TTÜ IT-maja ukse taha paarkümmend tudengit. Mida nad küll ootavad nädalavahetuse hakul suletud ülikoolihoone ukse taga? Kas kuskil siin on pidu? Ei, need noored IT huvilised TTÜ-st ja ITK-st on hoopis tulnud taaskord osa võtma 24h programmeerimisvõistlusest IEEEXtreme. Ja nad pole kaugeltki ainukesed – üle maailma võtab insenere ühendava organisatsiooni IEEE korraldatavast võistlusest osa muljetavaldavad pea kaks tuhat võistkonda.
(Top 25 parima tiimi hulka jõudis sellel aastal 4 Eesti võistkonda ! Ametlik link tulemustele )
Küsimustele vastab TTÜ vilistlane ja programmeerimisvõistluse IEEEXtreme üks korraldajatest TTÜs Ivor Lõõbas:
Kes võistlusel osalevad ja miks nad seda teevad?
Igas eneseületamises on midagi valusat ja magusat. Olgu selleks siis maratondistants jooksus või mõõduvõtmine mõttespordis. Need tudengid on siia tulnud end ennekõike võistkonniti proovile panema, samas aga taas näitama, et Eesti ülikoolides jagub nutikaid inimesi. Eelmine aasta suutis TTÜ võistkond xtremeTeamTTU koosseisus Keijo Kuusmik, Viljar Indus ja Sander Adamson saavutada parimana Eestist üldarvestuses 10. koha. 25 hulka mahtus aga veel lausa 4 Tartu Ülikooli võistkonda.
Mis on varasematel aastatel põnevat ja/või naljakat juhtunud?
Nii mõnelegi on see esmane kogemus sarnasest üritusest ja nõuab omajagu püsivust. 24h jutti lahendada matemaatilisi ja algoritmilisi olümpiaadi ülesandeid pole kaugeltki lihtne. Välja mõelda ülesande lahendus, see valmis kirjutada ja “kalad” välja siluda – see nõuab mõtteteravust. Nagu Poirot’ märkis, puhanud hallid ajurakud töötavad paremini. Sellest ajendatuna tuleb mõni kohale ja keerab fuajees käntsti magama, et hommikul värskelt kasulik olla omadele. Teised aga üritavad kogu aja vastu pidada. Söök ja jook, kohv ja tee, eriti aga karastavad ja ergutavad joogid, snäkid ja šokolaad – kõik, et mõte terav hoida. Kas see ka piisav on, näitab võistlus. Pöidlad pihku!

13 teams took part of this year anniversary IEEEXteme programming competition, 8 from Tallinn University of Technology and 5 from University of Tartu (one team was formed in Narva College of UT). The result was impressive because a team – VertexCover from UT reached to the 1st place in leaderboard, sharing the same score with teams from Switzerland, Iran and Australia! Three teams from UT were in the fist hundred, three teams from TUT in the second hundred, meaning that about half of teams were good enough to belong to the top 10% of participants around the globe.
Great job, Estonian teams (ordered according to place in leaderboard): VertexCover, eSchmetterlinge, Enceladus, singleSpace, 50MoreLinesOfCode, SuperFly, TheEbony, TheTeamTeam, CodeZal, suvakas, ChildrenCoding and NarvaCollegeCode!
Dark night, the competition has just begun. Tallinn teams at 3:35
The leaderboard. The very top.

The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers as well as practitioners and PhD students in the fields of advanced database and information systems research. The goal of the conference is to discuss the role that database systems play in the development of modern networked information systems. The conference is also seeking for the databases and information systems research that relate to ontologies and semantic web.

On 14th of December the IEEE Member and Geographic Activities Department approved the petition to form a new joint chapter “Estonia Section Industry Applications, Power & Energy, and Robotics and Automation Joint Societies Chapter“. Shortly: IA/PE/RA joint chapter.
The prelim chair of the chapter is initiator of the petition Marko Koort (Industrial Ambassador of the section) and one of his the first activities will be organization of elections to elect full chair and vice-chair of the chapter.
Congratulations and lot of energy for all members of the IA/PE/RA chapter!

On Friday, June 21, Prof. Tülay Adali from University of Maryland, Baltimore County will give a lecture at Tallinn University of Technology (Ehitajate tee 5) in room VI-229 at 13:00. The lecture is a part of IEEE Signal Processing Society’s Distinguished Lecturer Program and is titled as “Complex-valued Adaptive Signal Processing: When and how to take non-circularity into account?” Access is free for everybody.
Complex-valued signals arise frequently in applications as diverse as communications, radar, geophysics, optics, and biomedicine, as most practical modulation formats are of complex type and applications such as radar and magnetic resonance imaging lead to data that are inherently complex valued. There are two key issues in the statistical signal processing of complex-valued data: (1) making use of the complete statistical information by taking the potential noncircularity of the signal into account; and (2) optimization of real-valued cost functions with respect to complex parameters.
This talk first reviews recent advances related to both issues, which are coupled. It is shown that noncircularity is an intrinsic characteristic of many signals of practical interest, and when taken into account, the methods developed for their processing provide significant performance gains. On the other hand, by using Wirtinger calculus, optimization can be carried out in a way similar to the real-valued case without the need to evaluate derivatives separately with respect to real and imaginary parts.
Hence, expressions are kept simple and one does not need to invoke unrealistic assumptions such as circularity of the signals, an unrealistic assumption that helps with tractability but prevents one from making use of the information in the phase of the signal.
After a review of the basic tools for statistical characterization and optimization, the talk presents examples in adaptive filtering, model order selection, and blind source separation, and emphasizes when and how one should account for the potential noncircularity of the signal.

IEEExtreme 7.0 is over. Estonian teams did well; three best were inside the first hundred:
TeddyBears – 76th, TTU004 – 81th, 1Billion1 – 89th place.
Average number of points 865,396 for all 10 teams (unfortunately, there is no such assessment category), but it looks great!
Congratulations!
