Finnish Centre of Excellence for Algorithmic Data Analysis Research

Algodan Centre of Excellence develops new concepts, algorithms, principles, and frameworks for data analysis. The work combines basic research in computer science with interdisciplinary work in a wide variety of scientific disciplines and industrial problems. The main application areas of the Algodan are in biology, medicine, telecommunications, environmental studies, linguistics, and neuroscience.

Algodan is a joint research unit of University of Helsinki, Department of Computer Science and Aalto University, Department of Information and Computer Science. The Academy of Finland funds Algodan for the period 2008-2013. Algodan continues the work of the From Data to Knowledge (FDK) Centre-of-Excellence (2002-2007).
