Thea Brüsch is a PhD student at the Section for Cognitive Systems at the DTU - Technical University of Denmark. She visited SFI Visual Intelligence in Tromsø from January to June 2024 🤖🧠 🤖 During her stay, Brüsch had the opportunity to work with our Tromsø-based researchers on masking based methods for explainability. 🧠 - I am leaving Tromsø with a lot of new friends and great collaborators. All in all, my stay has been everything that I wished for and much more!

Meet Lars Uebbing, our newest doctoral research fellow 🤖🧠 🤖 Uebbing is from Ratingen, Germany and has a master's degree in physics from the University of Duisburg-Essen. He also has work experience with project management and business consulting from companies like GNS GmbH and Zenit GmbH. 🧠 His PhD project will focus on further advancing deep learning research for better observing the Earth. 🤖 Examples include providing new segmentation methods to infer properties of the Earth's surface or to forecast the extend of sea ice coverage in the Arctic based on climate variables and remote sensing. 🧠 - I am looking forward to work in a very international group with diverse backgrounds and experiences, says Uebbing.

Visual Intelligence researchers develop AI to detect liver cancer on CT liver images 🤖🧠 The project has now led to a novel and promising method which may make AI tools more robust and trustworthy in clinical settings Read more at uit.no (Norwegian article): https://lnkd.in/dbfctGYn Robert Jenssen | Line Eikvil | Anne Solberg | Inger Solheim | Petter Bjørklund | UiT- The Arctic University of Norway | University of Oslo | Norsk Regnesentral | Kristoffer Wickstrøm | Eirik Østmo | Keyur Radiya | Michael Kampffmeyer | Universitetssykehuset Nord-Norge

We are happy to announce that a Visual Intelligence paper, "The 3-billion fossil question: How to automate classification of microfossils", was featured in the scientific newspaper EurekAlert! 🤖🧠 🤖 The paper proposed a novel and efficient pipeline for processing and grouping fossils by genus, or even species, from microscope slides using self-supervised learning. 🧠 - The work shows that there is great potential in utilizing AI in this field, says researcher Iver Martinsen, first and co-corresponding author of the study.

Eirik Østmo (UiT), a PhD Research Fellow at Visual Intelligence, was recently featured in the Norwegian popular science podcast Abels tårn 🤖 🧠 🤖 In the episode, Østmo was included in an expert panel to answer different listener questions about AI and deep learning Listen to the episode here: https://lnkd.in/dVV656z2 Robert Jenssen | Line Eikvil | Anne Solberg | Inger Solheim | Petter Bjørklund | UiT- The Arctic University of Norway | University of Oslo | Norsk Regnesentral

Associate professor Benjamin Ricaud recently organized a new special curricular course on Generative AI at UiT- The Arctic University of Norway this spring semester 🤖 🧠 🤖 The course covered Large Language Models, Generative AI for images, and Generative AI for audio. The goal of the course was to give students a hands-on experience with these technologies. 🧠 Around 20 UiT students signed up for the new course, which is a significant amount compared to regular courses at the master's level.
