  3. 22. Experimental and computational analysis of the thermal degradation and the loss of strength of engineered wood-based panels

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Wickramasooriyage Devmini Kularatne; [2022]
    Keywords : Oriented strand board; thermal decomposition; mechanical degradation; heat transfer modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The current trends in the construction industry push toward materials that are more sustainable and environmentally friendlier than more traditional building materials such as concrete and steel. Timber and timber composites are one of the most popular materials on this list, due to both their mechanical strength and pleasant aesthetics. READ MORE

  6. 25. Prediction of appropriate L2 regularization strengths through Bayesian formalism

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Alexander Degener; [2022]
    Keywords : Machine learning; Artificial Neural Network; L2 regularization strength; Bayesian formalism; Classification tasks; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This paper proposes and investigates a Bayesian relation between optimal L2 regularization strengths and the number of training patterns and hidden nodes used for an artificial neural network. The results support the proposed dependence for number of training patterns, while the dependence on hidden architecture was less clear. READ MORE
