1. 1. Self-Supervised Learning for Tabular Data: Analysing VIME and introducing Mix Encoder

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Max Svensson; [2024]
   Keywords : Machine Learning; Self-supervised learning; AI; Physics; Medicine; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : We introduce Mix Encoder, a novel self-supervised learning framework for deep tabular data models based on Mixup [1]. Mix Encoder uses linear interpolations of samples with associated pretext tasks to form useful pre-trained representations. READ MORE

3. 2. Trainable Region of Interest Prediction: Hard Attention Framework for Hardware-Efficient Event-Based Computer Vision Neural Networks on Neuromorphic Processors

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

   Author : Cina Arjmand; [2023]
   Keywords : Artifical Intelligence; Machine Learning; Neuromorphic Engineering; Computer Vision; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Neuromorphic processors are a promising new type of hardware for optimizing neural network computation using biologically-inspired principles. They can effectively leverage information sparsity such as in images from event-based cameras, and are well-adapted to processing event-based data in an energy-efficient fashion. READ MORE

4. 3. Origin of blue straggler stars in the Milky Way halo

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Adam Brcek; [2023]
   Keywords : Blue Straggler; Galactic Halo; Spectroscopic Surveys; Binary Star Evolution; Mass Transfer; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Blue straggler stars (BSSs) are exotic stellar objects that appear to be younger than the age of the population they come from suggests. They are observed as the extension of the main sequence stars, beyond the turn-off point. READ MORE

5. 4. Magnetic field design for polarised neutrons in European Spallation Neutron Source instruments

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Andrea Monzani; [2021]
   Keywords : FEM; COMSOL; uniform magnetic field; neutron scattering; European Spallation Source; neutron adiabaticity; neutron spin filtering; neutron spin transport; 3He polarisation analyser; Halbach coils; tetracoil; instrument design; neutron diffractometer; nuclear physics; material science; physics simulation; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The goal of this project is the design of the magnetic field of the neutron analyser for the European Spallation Source instrument DREAM (Diffraction Resolved by Energy and Angle Measurements). This instrument is a neutron diffractometer and its purpose is the determination of the magnetic and chemical structure of materials. READ MORE

6. 5. Returning Foreign Fighters to Denmark & Sweden: The Enemies of the State?

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Graduate School; Lunds universitet/Master of Science in Global Studies

   Author : Cianna Flyger; [2020]
   Keywords : Islamic state; foreign fighters; Denmark; Sweden; policy; discourses; critical security studies; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : Denmark and Sweden, as the rest of Europe, face a dilemma of whether to repatriate their citizens who travelled to the so-called Islamic State, from the wretched refugee camps in Syria and Iraq after its fall, and how to deal with those already returned. This thesis examines the two countries’ policy-approaches and discourses to the issue of foreign fighters (FF’s) through a comparative case study, mainly focusing on Denmark, and empirical analysis of statements on FF’s from key political actors, using the social scientific method of critical discourse analysis.
