Programming with Python is essential in many fields, but navigating packages, environments, and Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) can be challenging. This workshop is designed for those starting with Python or struggling with these aspects. It simplifies the process, providing practical guidance and hands-on activities to help participants confidently manage their Python setup and workflow.

Join us for our weekly lunch seminar in the dScience lounge with Kristin Brunk. She will share insights from 45 years of citizen science data on the bluethroat¡¯s breeding distribution across Fennoscandia, exploring how this iconic alpine bird responds to climate change. Brunk will also discuss innovative bioacoustic research and opportunities for collaboration with data scientists.

Join us at the dScience lunch seminar to hear Anne Maria Eikeset and Kjetill S. Jakobsen discuss how genome sequencing is transforming biodiversity research and opening new possibilities for the public sector and industry.

Master the essentials of version control with a hands-on introduction to git and GitHub. This workshop covers the basics, guiding you through practical demos, collaborative projects, and advanced features, ensuring you can manage code versions efficiently. Ideal for researchers, PhD students, and postdocs with some programming experience. 

The workshop takes place over two days: Monday, 11th November, 09:00-12:00, and Thursday, 14th November, 13:00-16:00.

This week¡¯s dScience lunch seminar delves into one of AI¡¯s pressing challenges: how to balance explainability and accuracy in complex machine learning models. Poushali Sengupta, Ph.D. Research Employee at the Department of Informatics, will introduce ExCIR (Explainability through Correlation Impact Ratio), a novel method that addresses this trade-off.

Join the dScience lunch seminar, featuring Sondre Wold, as he explores the intriguing challenges of compositional generalisation in language models. Despite their remarkable capabilities, large language models often falter on simple tasks, exposing limitations in their ability to understand and combine basic elements into complex structures. Sondre will delve into his research and recent international work, shedding light on where these models fall short and discussing potential strategies for improvement.

Welcome to the 11th edition of the November Conference! Bringing Norwegian and Brazilian researchers and professionals together, the conference is the most important arena for developing joint research and innovation.

Join the dScience lunch seminar at the dScience lounge to hear biostatistician Harald Weedon-Fekj?r discuss the complexities of mammography screening. He will explore the debate around non-progressive tumours detected through screening and how statistical modeling helps provide insights at the population level. If you¡¯re interested in the public health balance of cancer screening, this talk is not to be missed.

Is science and research at the heart of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy? How can Norway¡¯s AI students and researchers get involved in making the first comprehensive legal framework for AI? Join this special edition of the dScience Lunch Seminar with Policy Officer at the European AI Office, Alex Moltzau to get some answers. 

Join the dScience lunch seminar at the Science Library with Magnus Li and Alexander Kempton as they explain why public sector digitalisation often falls short. They will discuss how viewing digitalisation as just a technical issue leads to failed IT projects and offer new ways to approach the complex challenges of organisational improvement. Both speakers bring extensive experience in public sector digitalisation.

Welcome to the annual Data Science Day, where we bring together the data science community for a productive mix of networking, learning, and entertainment.

Join the dScience Lunch seminar with Benedikte Wallace as she explores AI-generated dance using deep learning. Wallace will discuss her work on how humans respond to the movements created by AI, highlighting both the challenges and discoveries in using AI for creative tasks. Discover how movement can express emotion, even in robots.
