  1. 1. Floating Thresholds – On the Idea of the Portal in Architecture

    University essay from KTH/Arkitektur

    Author : Ivan Grelz; [2023]
    Keywords : Portal; Gate; Architecture; Theory; Threshold; Liminal; Nature; Myth; Ritual; Speed; Depth;

    Abstract : This project investigates a specific concept within architecture: the portal. Divided into eight independent chapters, all possible to read as stand-alone parts, the thesis – a hybrid essay consisting of text, images, drawings and models – uses the portal as a springboard, or tool, for approaching existing theories on the invisible forces that shape the world and our built environment.

  3. 2. Regularizing Vision-Transformers Using Gumbel-Softmax Distributions on Echocardiography Data

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

    Author : Alfred Nilsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Deep Learning; Vision-Transformers; Echocardiography; Feature Selection; Gumbel-Softmax; Concrete Autoencoders; Regression; Djupinlärning; Vision-Transformers; Ekokardiografi; Feature Selection; GumbelSoftmax; Concrete Autoencoders; Regression;

    Abstract : This thesis introduces an novel approach to model regularization in Vision Transformers (ViTs), a category of deep learning models. It employs stochastic embedded feature selection within the context of echocardiography video analysis, specifically focusing on the EchoNet-Dynamic dataset. READ MORE

  4. 3. Influence of Bold Text on Decision-Making within Formal Argumentation

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Leo Evijärvi; [2023]
    Keywords : formal argumentation; nudging; choice architecture; bold text;

    Abstract : Formal argumentation aims to provide a structured framework for cognitively compatible automated reasoning in the context of artificial intelligence; however, due to its roots in mathematical logic, formal argumentation research is typically focused on formal, ‘object-level’ aspects. It has yet to be studied how environmental, ‘meta-level’ structures, can affect human intuitions regarding the formalized model. READ MORE

  5. 4. The Reflection Pier - A Hospital Safe Haven

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industridesign

    Author : Sofia Lykke Saxbøl; [2023]
    Keywords : Arts and Architecture; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Hospitals have been a crucial element of healthcare for centuries, providing a space for diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. The design of hospitals has evolved dramatically throughout history, with significant changes in both the form and function of these institutions. READ MORE

  6. 5. Leveraging Posits for the Conjugate Gradient Linear Solver on an Application-Level RISC-V Core

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

    Author : David Mallasén Quintana; [2022]
    Keywords : Computer Arithmetic; Conjugate Gradient; Posit; IEEE-754; Floating Point; High-Performance Computing; RISC-V; Datoraritmetik; Konjugerad Gradient; Posit; IEEE-754; Flytande Punkt; Högpresterande Beräkningar; RISC-V;

    Abstract : Emerging floating-point arithmetics provide a way to optimize the execution of computationally-intensive algorithms. This is the case with scientific computational kernels such as the Conjugate Gradient (CG) linear solver. Exploring new arithmetics is of paramount importance to maximize the accuracy and timing performance of these algorithms. READ MORE
