AI Seminar Series

The AI seminar series highlights advances and challenges in research within Machine Learning, Data Science, and AI. Like the AI Centre itself, the seminar series will have a broad scope, covering both new methodological contributions, ground-breaking applications, and impacts on society.

The speakers consist of researchers from the participating departments as well as external speakers.

The seminars generally take place Friday at 13:00 at Nørre Campus and online.

Find more information about each seminar by clicking on the titles. All seminars will be announced in the event calendar on this website.
