  1. 6. Messing With The Gap: On The Modality Gap Phenomenon In Multimodal Contrastive Representation Learning

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Industriell teknik

    Author : Mohammad Al-Jaff; [2023]
    Keywords : Multimodal machine learning; Representation learning; Self-supervised learning; contrastive learning; computer vision; computational biology; bioinformatics;

    Abstract : In machine learning, a sub-field of computer science, a two-tower architecture model is a specialised type of neural network model that encodes paired data from different modalities (like text and images, sound and video, or proteomics and gene expression profiles) into a shared latent representation space. However, when training these models using a specific contrastive loss function, known as the multimodalinfoNCE loss, seems to often lead to a unique geometric phenomenon known as the modality gap.

  2. 7. Are Ecuador’s social capabilities progressing and developing resilience to shrinking? A regional comparative study, 1970-2020

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Author : Rebeca Anahí Sánchez Enríquez; [2022]
    Keywords : Shrinking; resilience; catch-up; social capability; social capabilities; Ecuador; Latin America; South America; economic development; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : New research suggests that the key to explaining the development gap might be resilience to shrinking instead of increasing growth rates. Latin America is considered an improving region from the growth rate point of view in development, but not so much from the shrinking perspective. READ MORE

  3. 8. Efficient and robust reduction of bounding boxes of a multi-class neural network’s output for vehicular radar-systems

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

    Author : Elazab Gasser; [2022]
    Keywords : Non-maximum suppression; Deep Learning; Machine Learning; Autonomous Vehicles; Determinantal Point Process; Icke-maximal undertryckning; Djupinlärning; Maskininlärning; Autonoma fordon; Determinant punktprocess;

    Abstract : Object detection has been a fundamental part of many emerging technologies, such as autonomous vehicles, robotics, and security. As deep learning is the main reason behind the leap of performance in object detection, it has mostly been associated with a post-processing step of non-maximum suppression (NMS) to reduce the number of resulting bounding boxes output from the network to, ideally, one box per object.

  4. 9. The role of gender in mental health. A statistical analysis of the relationships between gender-related norms and mental health in a Swedish context.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Ida Suni; [2022]
    Keywords : gender norms; mental health; wellbeing; multiple linear regression; gender inequalities; Law and Political Science;

    Abstract : Gender constitutes an important determinant of mental health. Previous research has pointed out the need to investigate and operationalize the concept of gender beyond two distinct categories to account for the social and relational aspects of gender that may influence mental health outcomes.

  5. 10. Patience, a New Variable in the IPO-Puzzle? : A quantitative study on whether an early IPO negatively affects aftermarket performance

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Företagsekonomi

    Author : Viktor Hansson; Viktor Renström; [2022]
    Keywords : Initial Public Offering; Sweden; Aftermarket Performance; BHAR; Monthly Abnormal Return; Private Equity; Long-run Event Study;

    Abstract : The Swedish market has over the past couple of years seen a large increase in companies going public through an IPO. At the same time the capital on the private equity market is increasing for each year which enables companies to stay private longer. Our research focuses on two main areas. READ MORE
