  1. 21. An Empirical Survey of Bandits in an Industrial Recommender System Setting

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Tobias Schwarz; Johan Brandby; [2023-09-21]
    Keywords : computer science; industrial application; machine learning; reinforcement learning; multi-armed bandits; MAB; contextual multi-armed bandits; survey; batch learning;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the effects of incorporating unstructured data—images in the wild—in contextual multi-armed bandits are investigated, when used within a recommender system setting, which focuses on picture-based content suggestion. The idea is to employ image features, extracted by a pre-trained convolutional neural network, and study the resulting bandit behaviors when including respective excluding this information in the typical context creation, which normally relies on structured data sources—such as metadata.

  4. 24. Managing Innovation in Knowledge-Intensive SMEs: A Multiple Case Study of Balancing Exploration and Exploitation

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

    Author : Anders Persson; Filip Mannefred; [2023-07-20]
    Keywords : Ambidexterity; Innovation management; Innovation Strategy; Innovation Processes; Knowledge-Intensive firms; SMEs;

    Abstract : Managing the innovation processes and strategies is a common challenge for companies due to the complexity and difficulties of creating processes that favor exploitation and exploration, and not limiting the capabilities to one or the other. Being able to have a split focus and balancing these capabilities constitutes a paradox since stability and predictability are associated with exploitation, and since risk and unpredictability are associated with exploration.

    Abstract : This thesis explores the relationship between the performance of Swedish global equity funds and the level of sustainability, as measured by the Morningstar Globe Rating, using a Fama-French six-factor model, globe rating categories, and time effects. Treating the Morningstar Globe Rating as a time-invariant variable, a sample of 80 Swedish global equity funds are divided into two sustainability groups, ‘Low’ and ‘High’, grouping funds with 1-3 globes into a reference group.
