GEMINI-senter for småsatellitter ved SFI Senter for romsensorer og –systemer (CENSSS), NTNU og SINTEF inviterer norske aktører, studenter og interessenter i småsatellitter til Norsk mikrosatellittkonferanse 2023, tirsdag 7. februar fra 10.00-18.30.  

This course will provide you with an understanding of the physiology of the microbial cell and how it can be manipulated. In the first part, the focus will be on molecular biology and physiology, emphasizing topics that are important for synthetic biology. The second part focuses on the approaches and tools directly utilized in synthetic biology and are organized in the order of a typical workflow of a strain design project (Design, Build, Test, Learn).

This course is a general introduction to the regulatory environment students will meet in various types of jobs, both in industry and in public institutions in the life science area. For students applying for such jobs, it is crucial to understand the terminology and be familiar with terms and standards in order to appear relevant.

Why is deep learning so successful in many applications of modern AI? This question has puzzled the AI community for more than a decade, and many attribute the success of deep learning to the implicit regularization imposed by the Neural Network (NN) architectures and the gradient descent algorithm. In this talk we will investigate the implicit regularization of so-called linear NNs in the simplified setting of linear regression. Furthermore, we will show how this theory meets fundamental computational boundaries imposed by the phenomenon of generalized hardness of approximation. That is, the phenomenon where certain optimal NNs can be proven to exist, but any algorithm will fail to compute these NNs to an accuracy below a certain approximation threshold. Thus, paradoxically, there will exist deep learning methods that are provably optimal, but that can only be computed to a certain accuracy.

Be ready to receive funding! Why is Open Data and Data Management important for my application?

Niklas Karlsen: How do we prepare pre-service teachers to teach the use of programming in a subject-specific context? Should they first learn programming independently of subjects? How do they navigate the challenges related to the learning and teaching of programming? How can programming be integrated into subjects?
