Decresing population rates due to fertility issues make the ability to have children a very important aspect of their society. READ MORE

  3. 2. Fast Simulations of Radio Neutrino Detectors : Using Generative Adversarial Networks and Artificial Neural Networks

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Anton Holmberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Askaryan emission; Radio detection of neutrinos; in-ice propagation; neutrino; Generative adversarial networks; GAN; WGAN; Neural networks; NN; surrogate model; IceCube; deep learning; generative model;

    Abstract : Neutrino astronomy is expanding into the ultra-high energy (>1017eV) frontier with the use of in-ice detection of Askaryan radio emission from neutrino-induced particle showers. There are already pilot arrays for validating the technology and the next few years will see the planning and construction of IceCube-Gen2, an upgrade to the current neutrino telescope IceCube.

    Keywords : Bayesian Optimization; Gaussian Process Regression; Storm Surge; GeoClaw; GISSR;

    Abstract : Tropical cyclone induced storm surges are some of the largest environmental risks facing infrastructure and human life in dense urban environments. Hurricane Sandy caused 44 deaths and damage of 19 billion US dollars in New York City alone. READ MORE

  5. 4. Estimation of severe crash frequency using two surrogates

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Zhankun Chen; [2022]
    Keywords : Multivariate Extreme Value distributions; Copula; Extreme Value Theory; Crash frequency; Surrogate Meausre of Safety; Road safety; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with the estimation of crash frequency based on the bivariate modeling of surrogate measures of safety (SMoS), which serve as indicators for traffic risk. Using the SMoS, any traffic conflict between two road users can be described by their proximity together with their hypothetical consequence. READ MORE

  6. 5. Explainability of Machine Learning in Forecasts for Retail Sales Campaigns

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

    Author : Alexander Olsson; Robin Zamojsky; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Explainable artificial intelligence is a growing field which is becoming increasingly important as machine learning is more integrated in businesses and various functions in society. A rising concern is the lack of transparency in decision-making processes for a substantial number of machine learning models. READ MORE
