  1. 6. From Tree Huggers to Money Makers: How ESG Scores Boost Corporate Financial Performance in the EU

    University essay from

    Author : Martin Ekendahl; Philippa Hedström; [2023-06-29]
    Keywords : ESG score; financial performance; stakeholder theory; the EU; fixed effects model;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the relationship between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scores and financial performance as measured by both accounting- and market-based measures; Return on Assets and Tobin's Q. The study takes a particular focus on the European Union (EU), more specifically on companies operating in the region and the union's strong commitment to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and more general efforts towards a more sustainable future.

  3. 7. Uncertainty Estimation in Radiation Dose Prediction U-Net

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Frida Skarf; [2023]
    Keywords : Radiation dose prediction models; U-net; quantile regression; Monte Carlo Dropout; epistemic uncertainty estimation; aleatoric uncertainty estimation; Stråldospredicerande modeller; U-net; kvantilregression; Monte Carlo Dropout; epistemisk osäkerhetsskattning; aletorisk osäkerhetsskattning;

    Abstract : The ability to quantify uncertainties associated with neural network predictions is crucial when they are relied upon in decision-making processes, especially in safety-critical applications like radiation therapy. In this paper, a single-model estimator of both epistemic and aleatoric uncertainties in a regression 3D U-net used for radiation dose prediction is presented. READ MORE

  4. 8. Natural Language Inference Transfer Learning in a Multi-Task Contract Dataset : In the Case of ContractNLI: a Document Information Extraction System

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik och filologi

    Author : Yiu Kei Tang; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the enhancement of legal contract Natural Language Inference (NLI) classification through supervised fine-tuning on general domain NLI, in the case of ContractNLI and Span NLI BERT (Koreeda and Manning, 2021), a multi-task document information extraction dataset and framework. Annotated datasets of a specific professional domain are scarce due to the high time and labour cost required to create them. READ MORE

  5. 9. Object Recognition in Satellite imagesusing improved ConvolutionalRecurrent Neural Network

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : TARUN NATTALA; [2023]
    Keywords : CRNN; CNN; RNN; Machine Learning and Satellite Image Recognition.;

    Abstract : Background:The background of this research lies in detecting the images from satellites. The recognition of images from satellites has become increasingly importantdue to the vast amount of data that can be obtained from satellites. This thesisaims to develop a method for the recognition of images from satellites using machinelearning techniques. READ MORE

  6. 10. Parameter Inference for Stochastic Models of Gene Expression in Eukaryotic Cells

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Ansar Siddiqui; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Simulation models are often used to study a system or phenomenon. However, before a simulation model can be used, its parameter needs to be fit to mimic observed data. This is called the parameter inference problem. READ MORE
