  1. 1. Exploring the Depth-Performance Trade-Off : Applying Torch Pruning to YOLOv8 Models for Semantic Segmentation Tasks

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

    Author : Xinchen Wang; [2024]
    Keywords : Deep Learning; Semantic segmentation; Network optimization; Network pruning; Torch Pruning; YOLOv8; Network Depth; Djup lärning; Semantisk segmentering; Nätverksoptimering; Nätverksbeskärning; Fackelbeskärning; YOLOv8; Nätverksdjup;

    Abstract : In order to comprehend the environments from different aspects, a large variety of computer vision methods are developed to detect objects, classify objects or even segment them semantically. Semantic segmentation is growing in significance due to its broad applications in fields such as robotics, environmental understanding for virtual or augmented reality, and autonomous driving.

  3. 2. Incorporation of Environmental Features into Peacebuilding Initiatives at Three Actor Leadership Levels : A Case Study of Liberia

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för samhällsstudier (SS)

    Author : Mathilda Olsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Environmental Peacebuilding; Conflict; Natural resources; Forest resources; Forest resource management; Human needs; Actors in peacebuilding; Community forestry; Liberia;

    Abstract : Environmental change and degradation, and increasing intrastate armed conflict are two pressing challenges of our time. Regions with highest rates of intrastate armed conflict have shown to overlap with regions of highest dependency on natural resources for livelihood provision and survival, where research of interrelatedness between conflict and environmental degradation, the environment-conflict nexus, increased during the 1990s.

  4. 3. The circular economy transition in Sweden: A study of institutional constraints

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för ekonomisk historia och internationella relationer

    Author : Javiera Ortega Zepeda; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The degradation of natural ecosystems, through biodiversity loss and resource depletion, has led to the emergence of circular economy (CE), a novel production model focused on circular flows of materials. Sweden, known for its progressive environmental policies, has since 2016 developed a circular economy policy in accordance with the European Union’s (EU) policies and its own initiative. READ MORE

  5. 4. Load Balancing In The Edge Cloud With Service Degradation : Combining Application-level Service Degradation With Load Balancing in a Kubernetes-based Edge Cloud

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Rachel Homssi; Jacob Möller; [2023]
    Keywords : Kubernetes; Service Degradation; Edge Cloud; Cloud; Load Balancing; Brownout; Resource Limitation; Overloading; Self-adaption; Kubernetes; Tjänstedegradering; Edge Cloud; Cloud; Lastbalansering; Resursbegränsning; Överbelastning; Självadaptering;

    Abstract : Edge cloud is a distributed computing architecture that is growing in popularity. It aims to bring the cloud closer to the edge of a network, reducing latency and improving performance through the use of distributed servers (edge nodes) spread out geographically. READ MORE

  6. 5. Comparing various methods for improving resource allocation on a single node cluster in Kubernetes

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Abaied Sopi; Plotoaga Andrei; [2023]
    Keywords : Kubernetes; latency-critical; resource allocation; CRI-RM; Vertical Pod Autoscaler;

    Abstract : When dealing with latency-critical applications in Kubernetes, a common strategy is to over-allocate resources to ensure the application can meet its latency guarantees during traffic surges. However, this practice often leads to resource underutilizationas the application will not fully utilize its reserved resources. READ MORE
