Data Science is about drawing useful knowledge from large and complex data. Advances in Artificial Intelligence are greatly dependent on Data Science. The Center for Data Science of the University of Bergen is an interdisciplinary center across several faculties focusing on research and education in central aspects of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. Our current activity involves machine learning, algorithmic foundations, visual data science, statistics, bioinformatics, and behavioral science.
CEDAS is the main contact point for NORA, the Norwegian Artificial Intelligence Research Consortium, at the University of Bergen.
The Norwegian Artificial Intelligence Research Consortium (NORA) brings together several prominent institutions across Norway in order to strengthen Norwegian research, education and innovation within the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics.
NORA offers regular webinars and is in the process of establishing a national research school for PhD candidates. Furthermore, the network recently announced the successful launch of NORA.startup, a national "knowledge-based innovation arena that facilitates networking and collaboration opportunities across the research and the startup community in Norway within artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics."
The University of Bergen is a member of NORA, with CEDAS being the main contact point for NORA at the university.
