1. 1. 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. 2. OpenCourse: Gamification in Computer Science Education

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

   Author : Gustaf Bodin; Elias Ekroth; Tobias Engblom; Filip Linde; Anwarr Shiervani; [2023-03-03]
   Keywords : Gamification; Education; Heuristic Evaluation; Desktop Application Development; Spelifiering; Utbildning; Heuristisk Utvärdering; Datorapplikationsutveckling;

   Abstract : Academic degrees in computer science suffer from the highest dropout rates among universities. As a result, there is a lack of technical professionals, which could threaten the digital infrastructure. READ MORE

4. 3. Evaluation of Application and Platform ContinuousDeployment Strategies and Tools over Edge Clusters

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

   Author : André Lundqvist; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The purpose of this thesis was the investigation of using Cloud Native tools in an On-prem Edge Deployment. Edge Computing allows software with explicit demands on latency, data management and reliability to utilize Cloud Computing by moving the compute power to the location of need while leaving the management in the Cloud.

5. 4. Using a GIS to enable an economic, land use and energy output comparison between small wind powered turbines and large-scale wind farms: the case of Oslo, Norway.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Colin Potter; [2023]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Wind power; Renewable energy sources; urban wind energy; urban areas; planning; vertical axis wind turbines; comparative studies; urban integrated energy systems; Oslo; Roan; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Responding to an identified knowledge gap, the study aims to determine if smaller wind turbines located on top of existing urban buildings are more resource efficient (land utilization and economically) than large scale wind farms. To answer this question, using a GIS, the resource efficiency of the Roan wind farm in Northern Norway was compared to a theoretical modeled installation of small-scale wind turbines on top of buildings within a 2km radius study zone in central Oslo.

6. 5. Clustering on groups for human tracking with 3D LiDAR

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

   Author : Simon Utterström; [2023]
   Keywords : Computer Vision; Computer Science; AI; Machine Learning; clustering; Kernel Density Clustering; tracking; LiDAR; 3D LiDAR; tracking; human; pedestrian; real time; Datavetenskap; Dataseende; clustering; SLR; CVC; KDEG; KDE; Kernel Density Clustering; HDBSCAN; DBSCAN; LiDAR; point cloud; tracking; human; pedestrian;

   Abstract : 3D LiDAR people detection and tracking applications rely on extracting individual people from the point cloud for reliable tracking. A recurring problem for these applications is under-segmentation caused by people standing close or interacting with each other, which in turn causes the system to lose tracking. READ MORE
