1. Copula Modelling of High-Dimensional Longitudinal Binary Response Data
University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)Abstract : This thesis treats the modelling of a high-dimensional data set of longitudinal binary responses. The data consists of default indicators from different nations around the world as well as some explanatory variables such as exposure to underlying assets. READ MORE

2. Markov Chains as a Real-time System Monitoring Service : Numerical Repair Rate Optimization (RRO)
University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknikAbstract : The expansion and increased complexity of technology is undoubtedly consistent and one can intuitively suppose that this trajectory will not deviate from this course in the years to come. On a continuous basis, concepts that started of as some hypothetical or abstract notions without practical relevance gets transferred to the modern state of our current technology. READ MORE

3. Robustness, Stability and Performance of Optimization Algorithms for GAN Training
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknikAbstract : Training Generative Adversial Networks (GANs) for image synthesis problems is a largely heuristical process that is known to be fickle and difficult to set up reliably. To avoid common failure modes and succeed with GAN training, one needs to find very specific hyperparameter settings carefully tuned to the model architectures and datasets at hand. READ MORE

4. Prospect Utility Portfolio Optimization
University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionenAbstract : Portfolio choice theory have in the last decades seen a rise in utilising more advanced utility functions for finding optimal portfolios. This is partly a consequence of the relatively simplistic nature of the quadratic utility, which is often assumed in the classical mean-variance framework. READ MORE

5. Face Alignment using Boosted Appeareance Model (Discriminative Appearance Model)
University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Sektionen för ingenjörsvetenskapAbstract : This thesis explores decriminative face alignment using Boosted Appearance Model (BAM). In this method face alignment is done by maximizing the score of the trained two classifier which learns both correct and incorrect alignment and is able to distinguish correct and incorrect alignment so that the correct alignment gets maximum positve score.
