1. 1. 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.

3. 2. Unlocking the True Value of Intellectual Capital: A Study of the Valuation Relevance of Intellectual Capital in an M&A Intensive Era

   University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för redovisning och finansiering

   Author : Filippa Oldenburg; Elisabeth Scharp; [2023]
   Keywords : Valuation Relevance; Value Relevance; M A; Performative; Intellectual Capital;

   Abstract : Capital market actors must understand the fundamental value-drivers in society, yet accounting standards face difficulties in capturing Intellectual Capital (IC) information. Meanwhile, the number of acquisitions is ever-growing, but research on the valuation relevance of IC in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is lacking. READ MORE

4. 3. Board Gender Diversity and Firm Financial Performance: The Role of Innovation

   University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för redovisning och finansiering

   Author : Gustav Holmin; Oscar Strömberg; [2022]
   Keywords : Board Gender Diversity; Innovation; Financial Performance; U.S. Firms; Interaction Term;

   Abstract : This quantitative study investigates the inter-relationship between board gender diversity, innovation, and subsequent firm financial performance. We use two multivariate OLS regression models on an unbalanced panel dataset with firm-year observations for listed companies headquartered in the U.S. between 2012-2019. READ MORE

5. 4. Towards Latent Space Disentanglement of Variational AutoEncoders for Language

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik och filologi

   Author : Paloma García de Herreros García; [2022]
   Keywords : Variational Autoencoders; Latent Space; disentanglement;

   Abstract : Variational autoencoders (VAEs) are a neural network architecture broadly used in image generation (Doersch 2016). VAEs are neural network models that encode data from some domain and project it into a latent space (Doersch 2016). READ MORE

6. 5. 3D Facial Modelling for Valence Estimation

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

   Author : Ioannis Athanasiadis; [2022]
   Keywords : Computer Graphics; Machine Learning; Representation Disentanglement; Valence Estimation;

   Abstract : We, as humans, purposely alter our facial expression to convey information during our daily interactions. However, our facial expressions can also unconsciously change based on external stimuli. READ MORE
