SUMMARY:MIX Innovation Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:Date: 8th May 2026\nTime: 10:00-12:30\nVenue: Media City Bergen: Atlantis\, Atriet  \nInnovation Day has traditionally been an event where bachelor’s and master’s students in Media and Interaction Design (MIX) showcase the prototypes they have developed throughout the semester. This year\, they are taking the event a step further by inviting more courses to participate and present their semester projects.  \nThe event highlights innovation\, knowledge sharing\, and the development of digital services\, and provides students with a valuable arena to showcase both their academic expertise and creative solutions. It is a unique opportunity to demonstrate what the students\, and the courses they represent\, have to offer.  \nThe event is organized by the Department of Information Science and Media Studies at the University of Bergen (UiB).  \nTo view the updated program and register for the event\, please visit the official organizer’s website.

SUMMARY:MediaFutures Series Seminar: Soheila Molaei "From Graphs to Graph Neural Networks: Applications in Multi-Modal Heterogeneous Real-World Data"
DESCRIPTION:MediaFutures warmly welcomes Soheila Molaei talk on:\n“From Graphs to Graph Neural Networks: Applications in Multi-Modal Heterogeneous Real-World Data”\n \n\nAll are welcome! Lunch will be served.\n \nDate: 8 May\nTime: 13:00-14:00\nVenue: MediaFutures\n \nTitleFrom Graphs to Graph Neural Networks: Applications in Multi-Modal Heterogeneous Real-World Data\n \nAbstractIn this talk\, I will introduce the basic ideas behind graphs and graph neural networks (GNNs)\, and discuss why they have become powerful tools for modelling complex\, structured\, and heterogeneous real-world data. I will begin with an overview of graph-based representations and the core principles of message passing and graph representation learning\, before moving to a range of AI applications where GNNs provide advantages over conventional learning approaches. In particular\, I will discuss applications in heterogeneous and multimodal settings\, including privacy-preserving federated learning\, neuro-symbolic modelling\, and emerging graph-based methods for spatial and multi-modal data integration. Overall\, the talk aims to connect the foundations of graph learning with current AI challenges involving structure\, heterogeneity\, and multi-source data.\n \nSpeaker’s bioSoheila Molaei is a senior researcher in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford. Her research focuses on artificial intelligence and machine learning\, with a particular emphasis on graph neural networks\, federated learning\, neuro-symbolic AI\, and learning from multimodal and heterogeneous data. Her work explores how graph-based methods can support robust\, interpretable\, and privacy-aware AI systems across complex real-world applications. She has also collaborated with researchers at the University of Bergen on graph-based and neuro-symbolic learning research.
