The Visual Intelligence Days (VI Days) took place Sept. 27 and 28 at Hotel Olavsgaard outside Oslo with 85 participants.
The VI Days gathered the whole Visual Intelligence consortium for two full days. Several innovations were presented, showing the close collaboration between the industry user partners, the public sector user partners, and the research partners represented by UiT The Arctic University of Norway, the University of Oslo, and the Norwegian Computing Center.
For instance, a new innovation developed in collaboration with GE Vingmed Ultrasound for measuring the dimensions of the left ventricle in the heart based on cardiac ultrasound was presented. The method utilizes a special transformation of the ultrasound video frames which enables better landmark prediction using deep learning.
Another innovation showcased a new Bayesian deep learning method developed within VI for providing better uncertainty estimates in semantic segmentation of marine acoustic imagery for fish species detection. This work is developed in collaboration with the Institute of Marine Research.
VI Days in addition featured a tutorial on vision transformers, sessions on methodological deep learning research, and an outlook session on trends in deep learning. VI Days further included a panel debate on societal impact of deep learning systems, with focus on the ethical and technological challenges and opportunities within the field. For inspiration, Professor Mads Nielsen from the Pioneer Centre for AI in Denmark gave an invited VI Days talk on research, innovation, and commercialization from a medical image analysis perspective.
Subsurface Digital Manager and former Visual Intelligence board member Cathrine Tegnander will serve as the elected leader of Visual Intelligence's board.
The Call for Papers and Abstracts for the Northern Lights Deep Learning (NLDL) Conference 2027 is officially announced – with submission deadlines on August 7th and Mid-September 2026 respectively.
The field of Visual Intelligence is continuously transforming. Chief Research Scientist Arnt-Børre Salberg dives deeper into the current trends in the field of visual intelligence as of early 2026.
Generativ kunstig intelligens er imponerende, men ikke alltid så nyttig til å løse industrielle problemer (Norwegian op-ed in digi.no).
Congratulations to Marit Dagny Kristine Jenssen, who successfully defended her PhD thesis at UiT The Arctic University of Norway on April 10th
The NCS model, a seismic foundation model trained on data from the Norwegian data repository for subsurface data, is now available as an open-source model, allowing anyone to download, utilize, and further develop the model.
The Visual Intelligence Annual Report 2025, highlighting the centre's progress, activities, achieved innovations, staff, funding, and publications for 2025, is now available to read on our websites.
