3. Exploring Normalizing Flow Modifications for Improved Model Expressivity
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Normalizing flows represent a class of generative models that exhibit a number of attractive properties, but do not always achieve state-of-the-art performance when it comes to perceived naturalness of generated samples. To improve the quality of generated samples, this thesis examines methods to enhance the expressivity of discrete-time normalizing flow models and thus their ability to capture different aspects of the data.

4. Reconstruction of Fire Spread with a Markov Random Field Mixture Model
University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistikAbstract : This thesis revolves around reconstructing fire sizes for historical fires in Jämtgaveln, Sweden based on data of fire scars in trees. We propose a Hidden Markov Model (HMM), where the domain is divided into quadratic grid cells of 250 $\times$ 250 m and with these grid cells we associate a binary Markov random field taking values 0 or 1 corresponding to no fire and fire respectively.
