General

UIO1101: Studying at UiO, what is it like?

A quick introduction to what it is like being a student at the University of Oslo.

MEK1000: Building a computer

This course will be held by experienced PC builders from the Department of informatics at the Unviersity of Oslo. Participants will learn to combine parts that are suitable for each other (e.g. motherboards that are suited for a CPU) and how these parts are mounted.
Time and place: Auditorium, Friday, 12:30

Lecture: Personalized video streaming based on search

To locate content in large video archives is a very computationally heavy and time demanding process. A search like for instance "show me all the tackles in the Tippeliga in April 2012" has until now demanded that you manually search through the archive sequentially and click on video after video. In future solutions we can generate personalized videos based on search, and play them back like a traditional playlist on MP3-players.
