It is interesting to note that it was a landmark in the field of computational creativity, as it was apparently the first &quot;school&quot; dedicated on this topic. Moreover, the lectures were given by the leading researchers in the respective field.</p> <p><a href="https://www.cs.helsinki.fi/blog/autumn-school-computational-creativity" target="_blank">lue lisää</a></p> https://www.cs.helsinki.fi/blog/autumn-school-computational-creativity#comments Aaron Giulio Doris Laura Tue, 13 Dec 2011 14:52:07 +0000 langohr 66339 at https://www.cs.helsinki.fi https://www.cs.helsinki.fi/blog/finnish-course-kumpula <p>In autumn 2010 a Finnish course was organized in Kumpula for the staff of the Computer Science Department. After one year, we are interested in how the attendees feel about the course and if there is a demand for organizing such a course again.</p> <p>Here are the comments from some of last years attendees:</p> <p>&quot;Overall I found the Finnish course very useful. Unfortunately I am spending just one year here in Finland, so I did not have a lot of time to study and practice what I learnt :)</p> <p><a href="https://www.cs.helsinki.fi/blog/finnish-course-kumpula" target="_blank">lue lisää</a></p> https://www.cs.helsinki.fi/blog/finnish-course-kumpula#comments Aaron Giulio Doris Laura Wed, 09 Nov 2011 12:54:15 +0000 yding 66055 at https://www.cs.helsinki.fi https://www.cs.helsinki.fi/blog/some-thoughts-communication-culture-research-institution <p>by Stefan Sch&ouml;nauer</p> <p>Throughout my career the question of how to improve the internal communication and collaboration has been a topic at every institution I worked for.

Sitting in the airplane I remembered colleagues and friends back in Helsinki wondering about my plan to take a Slovene course. Even though I would stay only six months I wanted to learn some Slovene, a language only 2 million people speak.</p> <p><a href="https://www.cs.helsinki.fi/blog/thoughts-language-learning" target="_blank">lue lisää</a></p> https://www.cs.helsinki.fi/blog/thoughts-language-learning#comments Aaron Giulio Doris Laura Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:36:33 +0000 yding 65661 at https://www.cs.helsinki.fi https://www.cs.helsinki.fi/blog/spring-trip-petrozavodsk <p>By Liang Wang</p> <p>In the early morning on April 26, Prof. Kangasharju, Tiina and I started&nbsp;our journey from Helsinki to Petrozavodsk. The whole journey was quite&nbsp;pleasant thanks to the sunny weather. After 12 hours, we reached our&nbsp;destination &ndash; Petrozavodsk, a quiet and lovely small town in western&nbsp;Russia. Even though it was not our first visit there, it was the first time&nbsp;we visited Petrozovadsk in spring. Everything looked so fresh and full of&nbsp;vigor compared with my memory of last winter.</p> <p><a href="https://www.cs.helsinki.fi/blog/spring-trip-petrozavodsk" target="_blank">lue lisää</a></p> https://www.cs.helsinki.fi/blog/spring-trip-petrozavodsk#comments Aaron Giulio Doris Laura Mon, 15 Aug 2011 08:23:59 +0000 yding 65403 at https://www.cs.helsinki.fi https://www.cs.helsinki.fi/blog/what-do-you-expect-our-departments-blog <p>We consulted a few staff members and students what they expect from this blog.</p> <p><a href="https://www.cs.helsinki.fi/blog/what-do-you-expect-our-departments-blog" target="_blank">lue lisää</a></p> https://www.cs.helsinki.fi/blog/what-do-you-expect-our-departments-blog#comments Aaron Giulio Doris Laura Wed, 27 Jul 2011 09:14:05 +0000 langohr 65146 at https://www.cs.helsinki.fi
