Anton, Mihai (author)In large-scale ML, data size becomes a critical variable, especially in the context of large companies, where models already exist and are hard to change and fine-tune. Time to market and model quality are essential metrics, thus looking for ways to select, prune and augment the input data while treating the model as a black box can speed up the...master thesis 2024

Var, Sezer (author)Semiconductor product development becomes increasingly challenging due to diminishing product life cycles, miniaturization, introduction of new physical principles, and new manufacturing processes. These problems are compounded in the absence of standardized development processes for the most complex semiconductor products like MEMS technologies...master thesis 2024

Pauliks, Nils (author)Purpose: This paper explores the potential of machine learning (ML) algorithms to mitigate uncertainty in early environmental assessments (ex-ante LCA), which are hindered by prospective nature and limited quantitative data availability. Methods: A systematic literature review with keyword searches on Scopus identified three ML categorization...master thesis 2023

Aircraft Tail-Specific Performance Modeling for Fuel Efficient Flight Operations in the Cruise PhaseVossen, Frans (author)Fuel-efficient flight operations and improved Air Traffic Management (ATM) operations are identified as one of the main pillars in achieving net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050. While considerable research has focused on airspace management and ATM operations, flight operations as managed by airlines have received little attention. <br/><br/>Accurate...master thesis 2023

Campos Montero, Fabian (author)This thesis introduces a novel Generative Adversarial Network application called SchemaGAN, which has been adapted from the Pix2Pix architecture to take Cone Penetration Test (CPT) data as a conditional input and generate subsoil schematizations. For training, validation and testing, a database of 24,000 synthetic schematizations of size 32x512...master thesis 2023

Chen, Linda (author)Background: Histopathological examination in the diagnostic workflow of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is essential. We aimed to develop a machine learning pipeline to predict human papillomavirus (HPV) status in OPSCC patients based on clinical variables and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). <br/>Methods: In a...master thesis 2023

Stals, Michael (author)Numerical modelling in Geo-Engineering is used to solve complex problems by simulating, analysing, or predicting soil behaviour under certain loading and boundary conditions. The soil behaviour is simulated by constitutive models that describe the relationship between stresses and strains through a mathematical formulation. Model parameters are...master thesis 2023

Lagerweij, Jelle (author)In this work, the added value of machine learning (ML) molecular force fields (FF) for the community of molecular simulations is showcased by successfully calculating transport properties of aqueous potassium hydroxide (KOH (aq)). Classical FFs use relatively simple interatomic potentials to simulate the nano scale. These simulations can predict...master thesis 2023

Trap, Cyril (author)Privacy is a human right, yet, people’s behavior on the web is constantly tracked. Tor, an anonymity network, is an effective defence against tracking. However, Tor’s multiplexing of logically independent data streams into a single TCP connection causes issues. Tor with QUIC has been implemented as an alternative with better performance but it...master thesis 2023

Dijkstra, Jonathan (author)In recent years, the agricultural sector has seen significant techno- logical improvements under the flag of precision agriculture, assisting farmers in the manageability that coincides with large-scale farming. Moreover, precision agriculture aims to enable plant-specific farming on the macro scale that is demanded by the current global...master thesis 2023

Herle, Olivier (author)This thesis evaluates the effects of including automated event data for interstate conflict prediction. Automated event data are web-scraped news stories converted into data and they may allow conflict models to increase their performance. Accurate models can then be used for early-warning purposes.<br/><br/>To predict three separate problems,...master thesis 2023

Meester, Anne (author)Introduction: Critically ill children admitted to the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) have a high risk of disruption of their normal sleep rhythm, which is associated with disturbances in physiology and negative effects on psychological and cognitive functioning. There is a need for real-time, automatic sleep monitoring to minimise...master thesis 2023

Hadjisotiriou, George (author)Compositional simulation is computationally intensive for high-fidelity models due to thermodynamic equilibrium relations and the coupling of flow, transport and mass transfer. In this report, two methods for accelerated compositional simulation are outlined and demonstrated for a gas vaporization problem. The first method uses a proxy model...master thesis 2022

van Schijndel, Jessie (author)The workflow of a data science practitioner includes gathering information from different sources and applying machine learning (ML) models. Such dispersed information can be combined through a process known as Data Integration (DI), which defines relations between entities and attributes. When all information is combined in one source suited...master thesis 2022

CHENG, ZHIMIN (author)A wide range of practical problems involve computing multi-dimensional integrations. However, in most cases, it is hard to find analytical solutions to these multi-dimensional integrations. Their numerical solutions always suffer from the `curse of dimension', which means the computational complexity grows exponentially with respect to the...master thesis 2022

Lammerts, Philippe (author)Hate speech detection on social media platforms remains a challenging task. Manual moderation by humans is the most reliable but infeasible, and machine learning models for detecting hate speech are scalable but unreliable as they often perform poorly on unseen data. Therefore, human-AI collaborative systems, in which we combine the strengths of...master thesis 2022

den Hertog, Koen (author)Parkinson’s Disease is a neurodegenerative disease that has a decline in motor behaviour as one of its main symptoms. This decline is currently monitored using subjective measures, such as questionnaires and clinical observations. More detailed and objective tracking of this decline can improve treatment of the disease and allow for earlier...master thesis 2022
