The workshop brought together researchers and IT support staff to let them exchange knowledge, requirements and planned support in applying AI methods in research and teaching.
The workshop had three objectives:
- Serving as a first step in establishing a forum / network of experts in applying AI methods.
- Informing about the current status of the UiO hub-node project “strategisk satsning innen maskinl?ring, deep learning og data science for forskning og undervisning ved UiO.” and gathering input from users on prioritising the project’s work for the next 6-12 months.
- Gathering needs/tasks for an NFR-funded national project proposal to support applied machine learning in research and teaching.
We summarised the workshop and its findings in a short report. Please, see several of the presentations linked in the agenda below.
