UiT Machine Learning Group

Pushing the frontier

Powered by the cool Arctic air, and located at 70° north, the core strength of the Machine Learning Group at UiT The Arctic University of Norway is in basic research for advancing statistical machine learning & AI methodology to face the societal and industrial data-driven challenges of the future.

The UiT Machine Learning Group is hosting the annual Northern Lights Deep Learning Conference. Please see: nldl.org

We head SFI Visual Intelligence, a Centre for Research-based Innovation funded by the Research Council of Norway and consortium partners.

  • Pitch-days for master's projects at UiT on the 5th of April from 14:15-16:00. Companies and organizations are invited to give a short online presentation about them and the master projects they propose, and the students can join online or at Realfagsbygget: Sore Auditorium (B302). This is a great opportunity to connect students having an interest and background in computer science and machine learning with innovative companies and research centers. The event is hosted by the Digital Technology Innovation Lab and SFI Visual Intelligence at the Departments of Computer Science and Physics and Technology.
