  1. 6. Investigation of Antenna Radomes in Low Earth Orbits

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Mathias Manohar Gren; [2023]
    Keywords : Materials; Science; Space; Satellites; Antenna Radomes; Beyond Gravity; Coatings; Physics; Chemistry; Low Earth Orbits; Engineering; Lunds University; Materials Chemistry; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Introduction: This master’s thesis focuses on exploring improved alternative material solutions for antenna radomes used to protect Beyond Gravity Sweden’s satellite antennas in low Earth orbits. Background: As the environment in low Earth orbit is harsh, surface materials on satellites experience high levels of atomic oxygen, ultra violet radiation, thermal-fluctuation, charged particles and micro meteoroids.

  3. 7. WEAR RESISTANT MULTI FUNCTIONAL POLYMER COATINGS

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Pranay Kumar Parsi; [2023]
    Keywords : Polymer coatings; Materials; Tribology; Wear resistant; Ice adhesion; Freezing delay; Anti-icing de-icing;

    Abstract : This study aims to develop coatings which show wear resistant behaviour along with multiple functions such as improved ice adhesion, better freezing delay etc which help in improving the effectiveness of the wind turbine efficiency. The significance of anti-icing/de-icing solutions for wind turbines is emphasized since ice accretion can cause serious issues in generation of power and might lead to damage of blades. READ MORE

  4. 8. Head-to-head Transfer Learning Comparisons made Possible : A Comparative Study of Transfer Learning Methods for Neural Machine Translation of the Baltic Languages

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik och filologi

    Author : Mathias Stenlund; [2023]
    Keywords : machine translation; transfer learning; Latvian; Lithuanian; low-resource languages; transformers; parent language; child language; comparative study;

    Abstract : The struggle of training adequate MT models using data-hungry NMT frameworks for low-resource language pairs has created a need to alleviate the scarcity of sufficiently large parallel corpora. Different transfer learning methods have been introduced as possible solutions to this problem, where a new model for a target task is initialized using parameters learned from some other high-resource task.

  5. 9. Self-supervised pre-training of an attention-based model for 3D medical image segmentation

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

    Author : Albert Sund Aillet; [2023]
    Keywords : Computer vision; Deep learning; 3D Medical image segmentation; Self-supervised learning; Datorseende; Djupinlärning; 3D Medicinsk bildsegmentering; Självövervakad träning;

    Abstract : Accurate segmentation of anatomical structures is crucial for radiation therapy in cancer treatment. Deep learning methods have been demonstrated effective for segmentation of 3D medical images, establishing the current standard. However, they require large amounts of labelled data and suffer from reduced performance on domain shift. READ MORE

  6. 10. Efficient Utilization of Video Embeddings from Video-Language Models

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Datorseende

    Author : Felix Lindgren; [2023]
    Keywords : VLM; CLIP; transformers; machine learning; video retrieval; activitynet; efficient training; aggregation;

    Abstract : In the digital age where video content is abundant, this thesis investigates the efficient adaptation of an existing video-language model (VLM) to new data. The research leverages CLIP, a robust language-vision model, for various video-related tasks including video retrieval. READ MORE
