  1. 1. Risk-Averse Multi-Armed Bandit Problem with Multiple Plays

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Siri Dahlgren; Nicholas Marriott; [2023-10-23]
    Keywords : MAB; Gittins; Markovian bandit; risk-aversion; policy iteration; multiple plays;

    Abstract : This study aims to construct an efficient heuristic, referred to as RA, for a riskaverse Markovian multi-armed bandit problem (MAB) with multiple plays. The RA incorporates risk-aversion and multiple plays by modifying the Gittins index strategy. READ MORE

  2. 2. An Empirical Survey of Bandits in an Industrial Recommender System Setting

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Tobias Schwarz; Johan Brandby; [2023-09-21]
    Keywords : computer science; industrial application; machine learning; reinforcement learning; multi-armed bandits; MAB; contextual multi-armed bandits; survey; batch learning;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the effects of incorporating unstructured data—images in the wild—in contextual multi-armed bandits are investigated, when used within a recommender system setting, which focuses on picture-based content suggestion. The idea is to employ image features, extracted by a pre-trained convolutional neural network, and study the resulting bandit behaviors when including respective excluding this information in the typical context creation, which normally relies on structured data sources—such as metadata.

  3. 3. Implementation of an automatic tangential flow filtration system for latex immunoassay production

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Filippa Stolpe; Sofia Kullander; [2023]
    Keywords : biotechnology; bioprocess; diagnostics; production; TFF; tangential flow filtration; blood clots; automation; antibodies; latex immunoassay; LIA;

    Abstract : To diagnose patients suffering from blood clotting disorders latex immununoassays (LIA) can be used. A time consuming manual tangential flow filtration (TFF) process suggests the implementation of an automatic TFF system to improve the efficiency, profitability, and expandability of the production facility of LIA at Nordic Biomarker.

  4. 4. Causal Reinforcement Learning for Bandits with Unobserved Confounders

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Mingwei Deng; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Reinforcement Learning (RL) has been recognized as a valuable tool in various fields. However, its application is limited by its reliance on extensive data through a trial-and-error approach and challenges in generalizing learned policies. READ MORE

  5. 5. Simulation of periodic counter-current chromatography purification of monoclonal antibodies with column degradation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Erik Friberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Counter-current chromatography; PCC; Monoclonal antibodies; Affinity chromatography; Process control; Chemical engineering; Process simulation; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The purification process of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for therapeutic drugs is expensive, especially the chromatography step in which the mAbs are separated from other proteins and cells present in the feed. The antibodies are separated from the feed using affinity chromatography, where only the antibodies interact with active sites within the column, whereas the rest passes through the column without stopping.
