Introduction to Research at the
Department of Information and
Computer Science (ICS)
Erkki Oja
Distinguished Aalto Professor,
Director of Macadamia
Research at ICS Department:
Macadamia research is coordinated by two
national Centers of Excellence:
Computational Inference Research Centre
(COIN)
Algorithmic Data Analysis Research
Centre (Algodan); Pattern Discovery
subgroup
Computational Inference Research Centre (COIN)::
 Finnish Centre of Excellence in Research,
2012-2017 (also 1994-1999, 2000-2006,
2007-2011)
 Highly competitive position (Aalto has 7
CoE’s in total in all research fields)
 Financed by Aalto, Academy of Finland,
Orion Co. and Nokia Co.
