1. Deep learning, LSTM and Representation Learning in Empirical Asset Pricing
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : In recent years, machine learning models have gained traction in the field of empirical asset pricing for their risk premium prediction performance. In this thesis, we build upon the work of [1] by first evaluating models similar to their best performing model in a similar fashion, by using the same dataset and measures, and then expanding upon that.

2. Evaluation of Sentence Representations in Semantic Text Similarity Tasks
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : This thesis explores the methods of representing sentence representations for semantic text similarity using word embeddings and benchmarks them against sentence based evaluation test sets. Two methods were used to evaluate the representations: STS Benchmark and STS Benchmark converted to a binary similarity task. READ MORE

3. Growth of filamentous fungi in pure olive oil : a fundamental study for application to vegetable oil-derived waste streams
University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomiAbstract : Vegetable oil is more difficult to degrade by microorganisms in comparison to carbohydrates and protein. Thus, it creates serious environmental and health concerns if oil-derived waste streams produced by restaurants and industries remain untreated. READ MORE

4. Responsible paper sourcing in a global matrix organised retail company
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest ProductsAbstract : Pressure from regulation as well as customer demand on responsibly sourced and produced goods and services is greater than ever. IKEA is considered a bench mark company as regards CSR in global supply chains and now a system needs to be put in place to also secure responsible paper sourcing. READ MORE

5. Ab initio simulations of topological phase transitions in Dirac semimetal Cd3As2 doped with Zn and Mn impurities
University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)Abstract : In this work we exploit the unique characteristics of a Dirac semimetal material to be symmetry-protected, to investigate dierent topological phase transitions provided by chemical dopings, focusing in particular on the electronic, magnetic and topological properties of the doped systems, studied by the mean of rst-principles methods based on density functional theory (DFT) approach. In particular these doped systems, besides being of interest for investigating the role of topology in solid state physics, could have a great potential for practical application since the dierent topological phases that come along with the chemical dopings allow one to exploit the unique properties of topological materials.
