How do we communicate with chatbots, and how does artificial intelligence influence democracy? Join us at the dScience Lunch Seminar at the Science Library for a discussion on these pressing questions. Linguists Ingrid Lossius Falkum and Nicholas Allott will explore how humans perceive and interact with AI-powered language models, while political scientist Rune Karlsen will present research from the KnowAI project, investigating AI’s role in shaping political knowledge, public opinion, and democratic processes.
Equinor invites dScience Partner Program members to a closed Thematic Working Group (TWG) workshop on AI/ML for anomaly detection in time series. Partners will share insights from key projects, discuss common challenges, and explore solutions for the future. The goal is to foster collaboration and identify potential joint research initiatives.
Invitation-only workshop.
Join us in the dScience Lounge for a talk by ?gnes Király on the anisotropic mechanical behavior of rocks—how their textures influence deformation from the Earth’s crust to its core.
Seismic anisotropy is often discussed, but what about viscous anisotropy? ?gnes will explain how rock textures shape both elastic and viscous behaviour and discuss modeling techniques.
Join us for our weekly lunch seminar with ?ystein S?rensen. Learn how intensive longitudinal data from apps and wearables can reveal complex patterns in psychological research. ?ystein S?rensen will present a method to improve dynamic structural equation models (DSEMs) using regression splines, making them more flexible and accurate. He will also discuss the benefits of using Stan and key challenges in analysing such data.
Join us for this week’s dScience Lunch Seminar with Krubeal Danieli as he explores how bio-inspired AI enables flexible navigation. His research, drawing on neuroscience, models how the brain forms internal maps in real time, allowing agents to explore and navigate without extensive training. This talk bridges the gap between neuroscience and AI. Complimentary lunch included!
Technology Outlook: The Future of AI and Robotics in Healthcare.
As artificial intelligence and robotics continue to advance, their role in healthcare is becoming increasingly significant. At the Norway Life Science Conference 2025, dScience is organising a parallel session that explores how these technologies are reshaping the health sector. Leading experts will present key developments, challenges, and opportunities, offering insights into what the future holds.
Welcome to the kick-off meeting of the research network DART: Digital Arctic Twins, funded by the University of the Arctic.
Join us at the Science Library on February 6, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 1:15 PM, for a talk on Environmental Digital Twins. Professor Einar Broch Johnsen from the University of Oslo will explore how digital replicas of natural systems, such as the Oslo fjord, can transform environmental management through live data, simulation, and semantic technology. Good opportunity to learn about cutting-edge applications of digital twin technology!

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 us for the DSTrain Kick-Off Seminar on 8th November 2024 at the University of Oslo’s Georg Sverdrups Hus. This event marks the launch of DSTrain’s postdoctoral programme, with sessions on data science research, career development, and cross-sectoral opportunities. Meet the project’s supervisors, hear pitches from 16 postdocs, and enjoy a valuable networking experience.
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.
