1. 6. The evolutionary origins of consciousness

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Azadeh Karamali; [2023]
   Keywords : Phenomenal consciousness; evolutionary origin; animal consciousness; sentience;

   Abstract : Some unanswered questions about consciousness as a biological phenomenon lie in its evolutionary origin and distribution among living organisms. Which animals are conscious and when did consciousness appear in the history of life on earth? The purpose of this thesis is to shed light on these long-standing questions by reviewing the literature on the evolutionary approaches to the fundamental concept of phenomenal consciousness.

3. 7. Artificial Intelligence for Option Pricing

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för matematiska vetenskaper

   Author : Emil Hietanen; [2022-06-19]
   Keywords : Options; calls; puts; pricing; artificial neural networks; models; volatility; comparison;

   Abstract : This thesis addresses the issue of vulnerable underlying assumptions used in option pricing methodology. More precisely; underlying assumptions made on the financial assets and markets make option pricing theory vulnerable to changes in the financial framework. READ MORE

4. 8. Evolutionary Properties of Neural Networks: Exploration of Robustness and Evolvability in the Genotype-Phenotype Map

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Daesung Cho; [2022]
   Keywords : robustness; evolvability; genotype-phenotype map; canalization; Bayesian inference; simulation-based inference; information theory; neural networks; pyloric rhythm; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Evolution is a fundamental and crucial part of life that hinges on two central properties: robustness and evolvability. Robustness is required to maintain essential traits despite mutations while evolvability produces novel traits that might prove beneficial in survival. READ MORE

5. 9. Towards a Sustainable (Investment) Climate : A Case Study of Economic Normative Fit and the Evolution of Normative Intentions of Climate Change Financing in the World Bank Group 2000-2021

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för ekonomisk historia och internationella relationer

   Author : Nora Förell; [2022]
   Keywords : norm fit; critical constructivism; climate change finance; the World Bank Group; development policy;

   Abstract : This thesis examines the evolution of normative intentions of climate change financing in the World Bank Group (WBG) between the years 2000–2021. The study contributes to critical constructivist International Relations theory by expanding on previous research on norm fit by examining the evolutionary process of economic normative fit.

6. 10. Improving robustness of beyond visual range strategies with adapted training distributions

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

   Author : Dennis Malmgren; [2022]
   Keywords : Reinforcement Learning; Game Theory; Air Combat; Neural Networks; Förstärkningsinlärning; Spelteori; Luftstrid; Neuronnät;

   Abstract : A key obstacle for training an autonomous agent in real air-to-air combat is the lack of available training data, which makes it difficult to apply supervised learning techniques. Self-play is a method that can be used where an agent trains against itself or against versions of itself without imitation data or human instruction. READ MORE
