Background and activities
Ramampiaro is an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science, NTNU Trondheim. He is Head of the Data and Artificial Intelligence (DART) group, and serves as Deputy Head (Vice Chair) of the department. Ramampiaro has been central in the establishment of the Telenor–NTNU AI-Lab, an AI research center at NTNU (now Norwegian Open AI-Lab), for which he was NTNU's scientific coordinator. His current main research interests include information retrieval, information extraction, data/text mining and machine learning.
