  1. 1. Predicting Counter-Strike Matches using Machine Learning Models

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Erik Broms; William Nordansjö; [2024]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Sports betting is a widespread industry where predictive modeling play a big role. The goal of this thesis is to explore the possibilities of machine learning within the realm of e-sport prediction. The data used for this thesis is publicly available data was recorded over a three year period. READ MORE

  2. 2. Efficient Sentiment Analysis and Topic Modeling in NLP using Knowledge Distillation and Transfer Learning

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

    Author : George Malki; [2023]
    Keywords : Large Language Model; RoBERTa; Knowledge distillation; Transfer learning; Sentiment analysis; Topic modeling; Stor språkmodell; RoBERTa; Kunskapsdestillation; överföringsinlärning; Sentimentanalys; Ämnesmodellering;

    Abstract : This abstract presents a study in which knowledge distillation techniques were applied to a Large Language Model (LLM) to create smaller, more efficient models without sacrificing performance. Three configurations of the RoBERTa model were selected as ”student” models to gain knowledge from a pre-trained ”teacher” model. READ MORE

  3. 3. Evaluation of Physics Informed Neural Networks in engineering simple structural analysis problems

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Georgios Nentidis; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neural Networks have found many applications for a long time in Machine Learning in different disciplines, and have especially flourished in the last decade because of the ever-increasing processing power especially from GPUs. Because of their ability to operate as universal function approximators and model nonlinear processes, attempts have been made in recent years to be also used for modeling partial differential equation (PDE) solutions.

  4. 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.

  5. 5. A Causal Analysis of Cat Bond Markets

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för finansiell ekonomi

    Author : Tim Matheis; [2023]
    Keywords : Cat bonds; Insurance-linked securities; Causal machine learning; Random forests;

    Abstract : This work is a contribution to the causal analysis of the catastrophe bond market, which has generated high excess returns over the last two decades. Since these excess returns remain partially unexplainable and the interest in catastrophe bonds is increasing, the causal study of the factors affecting their premiums is of high relevance. READ MORE
