Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Conference 2021

Oslo
27.10.21 - 28.10.21

During the last years we have seen the hype around Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. In this conference we will take it one step further showing how the industry has implemented the theory into technical solutions with emphasis on use cases and business value.

The examples range from maintenance through process optimisation. We will also cover some basics within data analytics, deterministic AI and computer vision and AI. The program will cover some new concepts and theory with practical implementation examples demonstrating how far we have reached.

The conference will be relevant both to early adopters and organisations still waiting to get started with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. The presenters come from the industry, academia and represent both end users, research and suppliers.

Harald Martens | prof. emerit | NTNU

Harald Martens was originally educated as an industrial biochemist at NTH, and like many bio-oriented people, he found mathematics and statistics boring and irrelevant. But after complaints that his chemical instruments produced «too much data», he felt obliged to ask «what is behind the data?»

Gradually he discovered that linear matrix algebra is perfect for modelling chemical mixtures, that data approximation methods from psychology are great for discovering unexpected variation patterns in technical data, and that graphics and simple cross-validation gives combined understanding and statistical reliability, even for big data sets. He became a chemometrician.

Over the next 50 years he has developed data modelling methods and -tools, and analyzed technical and human data sets in a number of fields of science and technology. He has been a professor at six universities and worked in several companies internationally. His data analysis research papers (https://scholar.google.no/citations?hl=no&user=60HNWsYAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&sortby=pubdate ) have now been cited more than 25 000 times.

At present he is prof. emerit. in the field of Big Data Cybernetics at the Dept. of engineering cybernetics at NTNU, and is the founder and research leader of the industrial process analysis company Idletechs AS (https://idletechs.com/) in Trondheim. Despairing over wide-spread math anxiety in our society, and the dangers of using black box AI systems in industry, he is also involved in developing new ways to teach mathematics and statistics to math-averse students, under the slightly conspiratorial motto:

«The World is important. Math is not important. But Math offers wonderful tools for understanding the World».
