  3. 3. An Empirical Survey of Bandits in an Industrial Recommender System Setting

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Tobias Schwarz; Johan Brandby; [2023-09-21]
    Keywords : computer science; industrial application; machine learning; reinforcement learning; multi-armed bandits; MAB; contextual multi-armed bandits; survey; batch learning;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the effects of incorporating unstructured data—images in the wild—in contextual multi-armed bandits are investigated, when used within a recommender system setting, which focuses on picture-based content suggestion. The idea is to employ image features, extracted by a pre-trained convolutional neural network, and study the resulting bandit behaviors when including respective excluding this information in the typical context creation, which normally relies on structured data sources—such as metadata.

  4. 4. Land Use and Land Cover Changes in Europe and the Impact on Near-Surface Wind Speed in Sweden

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Nils Philipp Stange; [2023-08-18]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Investigations of Land use and land cover change (LULCC) have recently become of increasing interest. This trend occurs not only based of the importance of biogeochemical processes such as carbon sequestration, but also because of their climate impacts caused by changed biogeophysical properties.
