Helge Fredriksen

Associate Professor at UiT focusing on machine learning, generative AI, and applications in space, maritime and clinical sectors.

Paper and poster sessions

I participated at the NORA 2025 conference in Halden and presented my work on next generation harbor prediction engine entitled “A multimodal transformer model for fishing vessel destination prediction”. This work is part of the COFUD project. The abstracts for the poster presentations can be viewed here.

Rafael Gonzales and me participated in the NAIS conference in Tromsø 18.06.25, and presented our paper entitled “Detecting Illegal Fishing with Variational Autoencoders”. This work was part of the COFUD project

Professional presentations

During “Blå uke” 2025 in Bodø I presented the COFUD project with this presentation,

Me and Martin Skjelvareid made a presentation in the occation of that UiT became a member of Bodø Næringsforum at 11.02.25 at 11.02.2024.

At “Blå uke” in 2024 I did this presentation for the local fishing industry as a technology study.

In October 2024, I did a presentation for Meløy Næringsforum about the latest developement in Generative AI.
