Even before starting my studies as a Mathematical Statistics student, I had a clear goal in mind – to get an internship as early as possible. My aim was to become a Data Scientist, and my school program focused mainly on theoretical mathematics skills and statistical methods. Still, an internship would provide me with an

Rocketing energy prices and growing energy security concerns have grown the interest in solar and wind production immensely. ROI calculations of these investments rely on a robust assessment of production outcomes and historical energy price data without any realistic outlook to future.  Production of renewable energy relies on uncontrollable weather conditions. Incorrect production estimates cause

Rising energy consumption globally is leading to increased demand for renewable energy sources. Efforts to replace fossil fuels with renewables raise numerous issues – high energy prices, the complexity of selling to the grid for renewable energy producers, and increasing frequency volatility in the grid. This instability is largely caused by the unpredictable nature of

In recent years, issues surrounding energy consumption and production have become an important matter for all of us. Optimizing energy consumption is not only beneficial for our budget, but also for the environment. Simple practices such as turning off lights when leaving the house or office are a step in the right direction. To truly make

The advances in information technology allow people to develop accurate machine learning models that can learn from collected data. The application of such models helps to predict the demand for various products, such as goods sold in grocery stores. Retail chains sell a wide range of products which are ordered using different algorithms. One of

In spring 2019, I was finishing up my bachelor studies at the physics institute of Tartu University. At the time, I was trying to figure out my next steps in life. I had a short-term plan assigned to me by the Estonian Defense Forces – 11 months of military service, but I lacked a longer

It was a warm summer night when I decided to submit my candidacy for an internship position in STACC, and voilà, a few weeks later I got an answer saying they had just returned from summer vacation and were open to talk. I was a fresh graduate of Computer Science and planned to continue my

Following the example of my mother and both grandmothers, I was convinced from a very young age that I would one day become a teacher. After my bachelor’s studies, I planned to start my master’s studies in one of the curricula of teacher training at the University of Tartu. Friends who were working as teachers

Did you know that artificial intelligence can also be used in museums? The Estonian National Heritage Board launched an exciting project called kratt Sälli* whose purpose is to make conducting inventories in museums quicker and more convenient. Due to the large amount of museum objects, it is not feasible for museum staff to thoroughly examine
