4. 3. Variational AutoEncoders and Differential Privacy : balancing data synthesis and privacy constraints

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

   Author : Baptiste Bremond; [2024]
   Keywords : TVAE; Differential privacy; Tabular data; Synthetic data; DP-SGD; TVAE; differentiell integritet; tabelldata; syntetiska data; DP-SGD;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the effectiveness of Tabular Variational Auto Encoders (TVAEs) in generating high-quality synthetic tabular data and assesses their compliance with differential privacy principles. The study shows that while TVAEs are better than VAEs at generating synthetic data that faithfully reproduces the distribution of real data as measured by the Synthetic Data Vault (SDV) metrics, the latter does not guarantee that the synthetic data is up to the task in practical industrial applications.

5. 4. Estimating Diffusion Tensor Distributions With Neural Networks

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Algebra, geometri och diskret matematik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

   Author : Rimaz Nismi; [2024]
   Keywords : Diffusion; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; MRI; Neural Networks; Optimal transport; Earth mover s distance; Sinkhorn distance;

   Abstract : Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an essential healthcare technology, with diffusion MRI being a specialized technique. Diffusion MRI exploits the inherent diffusion of water molecules within the human body to produce a high-resolution tissue image. An MRI image contains information about a 3D volume in space, composed of 3D units called voxels. READ MORE

6. 5. FACEBOOK IS NOW META. Meta's corporate sociotechnical imaginary and the discursive construction of the Metaverse as the social platform of the future

   University essay from Institutionen för tillämpad informationsteknologi

   Author : Marc Castell; [2023-11-22]
   Keywords : corporate sociotechnical imaginary; corporate communication; future narratives; Metaverse; platform capitalism; strategic narratives; Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse;

   Abstract : The interpretive discourse-analytic framework of the Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse is used to analyze how Meta's senior executives discursively frame the use of augmented reality and virtual reality in order to position the Metaverse as the next social platform during Connect 2021. The findings suggest five interpretive schemas that characterize the Metaverse as a social platform of the future: (a) the Metaverse as the next version of the Internet; (b) the Metaverse as a facilitator of presence and a connector of people; (c) the Metaverse as a marketplace in the Metaverse economy; (d) the Metaverse as a ubiquitous place in our daily lives; and (e) the Metaverse as a space designed in a responsible manner.
