  1. 11. Mapping time-series evapotranspiration for agricultural applications

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Erik Jan Bootsma; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Fresh water provides a range of essential services and is often used for irrigation purposes. Decreasing precipitation and increasing temperatures caused by climate change together with increased usage by humans has put these resources under stress, especially in relatively dry areas.

  2. 12. A Study of Page-Based Memory Allocation Policies for the Argo Distributed Shared Memory System

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Ioannis Anevlavis; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Software distributed shared memory (DSM) systems have been one of the main areas of research in the high-performance computing community. One of the many implementations of such systems is Argo, a page-based, user-space DSM, built on top of MPI. READ MORE

  3. 13. A scalable species-based genetic algorithm for reinforcement learning

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

    Author : Anirudh Seth; [2021]
    Keywords : neuroevolution; model encoding; distributed speciation; reinforcement learning; genetic algorithms; evolutionary computing; neuroevolution; model encoding; förstärkningsinlärning; genetiska algoritmer; evolutionär databehandling;

    Abstract : Existing methods in Reinforcement Learning (RL) that rely on gradient estimates suffer from the slow rate of convergence, poor sample efficiency, and computationally expensive training, especially when dealing with complex real-world problems with a sizable dimensionality of the state and action space. In this work, we attempt to leverage the benefits of evolutionary computation as a competitive, scalable, and gradient-free alternative to training deep neural networks for RL-specific problems.

  4. 14. An implementation of a real-time water quality monitoring IoT system with 4G connectivity : Catfish - Data and Sensors

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för informationsteknologi

    Author : Ellen Nihl; Eek De Bruijckere; [2021]
    Keywords : Embedded system; data communication; database; Internet of Things; IoT; 4G; sensors;

    Abstract : This report is about implementing an Internet of Things (IoT) system that is meant to measure the water quality of the Nissan river located in Halmstad. The system measures the temperature, pH value, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solids and electrical conductivity of the water. READ MORE

  5. 15. Towards the Use of Satellite Data in Security Policy-Related Prediction

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för visuell information och interaktion

    Author : Mary Chrishani Jayaweera; [2021]
    Keywords : satellite imagery; earth observation; remote sensing; nighttime lights; conflict prediction; time series; intercalibration; big data; cloud computing; machine learning;

    Abstract : Inadequate economic data makes it more difficult for its incorporation in security-policy related prediction and there is a need for alternative datasets. Satellite data, more specifically nighttime lights data, can be used as a proxy for the economy. READ MORE
