OCBE partner in new SFI

The University of Oslo celebrates BIG INSIGHT, our new centre for research based innovation, awarded by the Research Council of Norway.

BIG INSIGHT is a consortium of 12 partners: Norsk Regnesentral, the University of Oslo (Department of Mathematics and Department of Biostatistics), the Oslo University Hospital (Cancer Registry, Department of Tumour Biology, Oslo Centre for Biostatistics and Epidemiology), the University of Bergen (Department of Mathematics), ABB, DNB, DNV-GL, Gjensidige, Norsk Hydro, NAV, Skatteetaten and Telenor.

BIG INSIGHT will produce innovative solutions for key challenges facing the consortium of private, public and research partners, by developing original statistical and machine learning methodologies. Fulfilling the promise of the big data revolution, we shall invent deep analytical tools to extract knowledge from complex data and deliver BIG INSIGHT.

We shall focus on two central innovation themes: deeply novel personalised solutions and sharper predictions of transient behaviours:

  • We shall discover radically new ways to target, towards individual needs and conditions, products, services, prices, therapies, technologies, thus providing improved quality, precisions and efficacy.
  • We shall develop new approaches to predict critical quantities which are unstable and in transition, as customer behaviour, patient health, electricity prices, machinery condition, etc.

This will be possible thanks to the unprecedented availability of large scale measurements and individual information together with new statistical theory, computational methods and algorithms, delivered by a world-class team of scientists. BIG INSIGHT will be a leading international centre in model-based statistics for complex, high dimensional data, addressed towards innovation.
