In 2020, the second intake of the Industrial Master's Programme in IT defended their Master's thesis and now we have five more awesome thesis in the list:
1. Kerstin Äkke and Datel completed a master's thesis entitled "Snow Cover Detection in Estonia from SAR Images Using Machine Learning Methods". The aim of this study was to test applicability of a method that combines most common features for snow detection extracted from SAR images in a machine learning model.Supervisors: Viacheslav Komisarenko, Anti Gruno
Kerstin's comment on the master's thesis: "The topic of snow detection is of interest to the scientific community. The supervisor suggested this topic because working with SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) data is something that Datel is already working on as part of the Sille project. The topic itself is not directly related to any of these projects. Its main purpose was to support future work on SAR data. "Datel Data Scientist Anti Gruno, supervisor: “This Master's thesis has great practical value. The experience gained during the work, such as ESThub workflow modelling, object identification based on different parameters, machine learning will be used in various SAR development projects in the future.”
2. Alar Leemet joined Pipedrive through the Industrial Master’s Programme in IT and they found a mutual interest in the study of hackatons within Pipedrive. The aim was to find aspects affecting project continuation in a corporate setting using observations, surveys and interviews. The master's thesis is named "Hackathons for Corporate Innovation – a Longitudinal Study".Supervisor: Alexander Nolte
Pipedrive’s Engineering Manager Marko Nõu said about the thesis:“Why should any company organize hackathons? Are there any benefits? What about the projects created there? Alar's thesis covers this all and in an especially relevant aspect in todays situation - what about remote? Hackathons in Pipedrive have become almost axiomatic, but nobody has done such large scale research on them. There's lots of food for thought for participating teams as well for organizers.”
3. Kiryl Lashekvich was another Industrial Master at Pipedrive in the 2019-2020 period. He researched Pipedrive’s journey from Scrum-based practices to Mission-based in a master’s thesis called “Improving Agile Processes with Customized Mission-based Practices. Case Study”.Supervisors: Marlon Dumas, Eerik Muuli
Here’s what Pipedrive’s Engineering Manager Marko Nõu said about the thesis:“There has never been such comprehensive research into our software development process. Kiryl's thesis provides a great history lesson in retrospective from one side, but also deep insights and comparison of different processes we have used and their performance. It is a really useful summary and assurment that we are on the right track.”
4. Laura Ruusmann worked on her master's thesis "Comparison of Category-level, Item-level and General Sales Forecasting Models" at STACC. Laura tested out multiple methods for achieving best forecasting accuracy with lowest computational requirements: a traditional statistical forecasting approach (ARIMA), classical machine learning techniques (specifically ensemble methods) and a third one based on deep learning methods (specifically recurrent neural networks with LSTM architectures).Juhendajad: Marlon Dumas, Eerik Muuli
5. Mohammad Mahdi Mohebbian partnered up with Positium and their mutual interest was to research "Real-time mobile data event detection system". In this thesis implementation of an enterprise system has been demonstrated for monitoring the behavior of the cell towers under the administration’s authority. The core functionality of this system is detecting ongoing events in different areas on an hourly-basis schedule utilizing multiple statistical approaches for abnormality detection.Supervisors: Amnir Hadachi, Erki Saluveer
Mahdi’s comment on the master's thesis: "Mastering knowledge and concept retrieval from big data was one of my primary motivations to join the Computer Science program in the first place. The idea of the "Event Detection System using mobile big data" was proposed by Erki Saluveer the CEO of Positium company during idea brainstorming not long after Metallica's concert in Tartu, The concert was essentially the trigger of the idea. I got to implement the enterprise using the most interesting big data manipulation tools and techniques. I enjoyed every single step of this journey and learned more than I thought I would."
In 2019 the very first intake of the Industrial Master’s Programme in IT defended their master's thesis:
