While visiting Tromsø, Fua held two talks on the topics of "Deep Uncertainty" and "Deep 3D Surface Meshes" for students and researchers at UiT The Arctic University of Norway.
Visual Intelligence had the great pleasure of having professor Pascal Fua visit the research centre in Tromsø from April 8th to 9th.
Fua is a professor in computer science at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). He often serves as program committee member, area chair, and program chair of major vision conferences and has cofounded two spinoff companies.
While visiting Tromsø, Fua held two talks on the topics of "Deep Uncertainty" and "Deep 3D Surface Meshes" for students and researchers at UiT The Arctic University of Norway.
In the latter talk, Fua presented his approach to overcoming certain limitations of Deep Implicit Fields: a methodology which allows for detailed modeling of surfaces of arbitrary topology while not relying on a 3D Euclidean grid.
Fua also discussed an approach to implementing convolutional neural nets that output complex 3D surface meshes while remaining fully-differentiable and end-to-end trainable.
Finally, he touched upon present applications to single view reconstruction, physically-driven Shape optimization, and bio-medical image segmentation.
Both students and researchers at UiT asked stimulating questions on the talk topics, providing an interactive environment for knowledge-sharing between Fua and the audience.
Associate professors Michael Kampffmeyer, Kristoffer Wickstrøm and Elisabeth Wetzer and PhD student Durgesh Singh held a session of brief talks during Fua's visit.
Centre director Robert Jenssen organized a whiteboard session with Fua for researchers at the UiT Machine Learning Group. The session delved deeper into the topics of homology and uncertainty.
We congratulate Mathias K. Hauglid for successfully defending his PhD dissertation and achieving the PhD degree in Law at UiT The Arctic University of Norway on April 26th 2024.
I år samler SFI Visual Intelligence, som ledes av Forskningsgruppen for maskinlæring ved UiT, og Lie Størmer senter kreftene for å markere dagen ved Verdensteateret i Tromsø den 6. mai. Arrangementet er gratis og åpent for alle interesserte.
Heggeli's primary work tasks involve managing, maintaining and optimizing the GPU cluster at UiT Machine Learning (ML) Group in Tromsø, while serving as an important advising resource for our UiT-based VI researchers.
The company's interest in Visual Intelligence is to utilize new developments in artificial intelligence (AI) to improve and automate interpretations of data, while providing the centre with data, problem formulations, and different forms of guidance.
The presented research is part of a larger collaboration between researchers from UiT The Arctic University of Norway and the University Hospital of North Norway.
Visual Intelligence researchers from UiT Machine Learning Group and the University Hospital of North Norway (UNN) were recently featured in the "Abels Tårn" spin-off show "Den store serien om KI".
The report showcases Visual Intelligence's activities, results, staff and funding throughout the past year, serving as a detailed compilation of our researchers' efforts towards further development within the centre's four main innovation areas and solving our four research chall
Kunstig intelligens treffer dårligere på kvinner enn menn. Skjevhet i dataene er hovedutfordringen, mener Suaiba Salahuddin, som peker på tre forbedringsmuligheter.
Visual Intelligence Director Robert Jenssen recently gave an invited talk at the CatchID conference organized in Tromsø from 19th-20th March 2024 by the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries.
The exclusive Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings gather 650 distinguished scientists and 30 Nobel Prize winners from across the world and places strict requirements in terms of academic and scientific quality. – A great honor, says associate professor Elisabeth Wetzer.
Director Robert Jenssen gave a talk on the uses and misuses of artificial intelligence for members of the seniors association at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. The UiT seniors association consists of former academic and administrative employees at the university.
Researcher Anders U. Waldeland from The Norwegian Computing Center gave a talk at The Biennial Geophysical Seminar in Kristiansand presenting work from Visual Intelligence on seismic structure search using a neural network trained with self-supervised learning.
State secretary Tomas Norvoll visited Visual Intelligence and was given a tour at the PET center at The University Hospital of North Norway by centre director Robert Jenssen and associate professor Samuel Kuttner to learn more about research and innovation within PET and AI.
We are thrilled to announce that the paper "Interrogating Sea Ice Predictability With Gradients", a collaborative paper between Visual Intelligence, The Alan Turing Institute and the British Antarctic Survey, has been accepted in IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters.
We congratulate Srishti Gautam for successfully defending her PhD thesis and achieving the PhD degree in Science at UiT The Arctic University of Norway.

We were happy to host a school class from Kongsbakken upper secondary school at UiT Norges arktiske universitet on March 13th.
Visual Intelligence director Robert Jenssen recently met with State Secretary Ellen Rønning-Arnesen of Ministry of Health and Care Services.
Det sier førsteamanuensis Kristoffer Wickstrøm. På NHO Arktis sin årskonferanse i Alta delte han innsikt om KI-potensialet og argumenterte for hvorfor nordnorske bedrifter bør investere i denne teknologien. (Norwegian article).
Congratulations to Visual Intelligence co-director Line Eikvil, who was featured on the Abelia and ODA Network's list of the fifty most influential tech women in Norway!
