Verkooijen, Paul (author)Double strand breaks are lesions to the DNA and can be fatal for cells. Therefore these breaks are repaired, primarily by one of the three major repair pathways. Two of these pathways are non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) and theta-mediated end-joining (TMEJ). These pathways leave genetic alterations in their repair products, a form of DNA...master thesis 2021

Zhang, Haiyin (author)The popularity of machine learning has wildly expanded in recent years. Machine learning techniques have been heatedly studied in academia and applied in the industry to create business value. However, there is a lack of guidelines for code quality in machine learning applications. Although machine learning code is usually integrated as a small...master thesis 2022

Scavuzzo Montana, Lara (author)Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) is a generalization of classical linear programming where we restrict some (or all) variables to take integer values. Numerous real-world problems can be modeled as MILPs, such as production planning, scheduling, network design optimization and many more. MILPs are, in fact, NP-hard. State-of-the-art...master thesis 2020

Wolters, Anouk (author)There is a need for a more comprehensive sociotechnical systems view on ML. Such a view looks at the development and use of an ML system in practice as being a sociotechnical ML system: "a system consisting of technical artefacts, human agents and institutions, in which a machine-based subsystem influences its real or virtual environment by...master thesis 2022

Arntzen, Stefan (author)High-fidelity optimisation studies are a useful asset in the design of critical components for large gas turbines. These studies require the computation of numerous computationally expensive CFD simulations and result in predominantly optimisation graphs of design objectives (e.g. Pareto-front figure). The quantity of generated data is...master thesis 2019

Elghlan, Faris (author)This M.Sc. thesis report investigates the application of one-class classification techniques to complex high-dimensional data. The aim of a one-class classifier is to separate target data from non-target data, but only a dataset containing target data is available for training. The issue with high-dimensional data is that it is difficult to...master thesis 2019

Montesinos García, Lucas (author)Authentication is becoming an increasingly important application in the connected world and is driven by the growing use of mobile and IoT devices that use an increasing number of applications that require transactions of sensitive data. Security usually relies on passwords and/or two-factor authentication which are too intrusive for daily use....master thesis 2018

Samiotis, Ioannis Petros (author)Side-Channel Attacks, are a prominent type of attacks, used to break cryptographic implementations on a computing system. They are based on information "leaked" by the hardware of a computing system, rather than the encryption algorithm itself. Recent studies showed that Side-Channel Attacks can be performed using Deep Learning models. In this...master thesis 2018

Thomaidou, Eftychia (author)In this research, we studied the impact of the 5'UTR sequences on translation. This is done by generating various features describing the 5'UTR. Those features are then used as input in regression and classification models, that have the Translation Initiation Rates as target. The reason why it is of such importance, is dual. Because is very...master thesis 2017

Kroezen, Dave (author)Online Reinforcement Learning is a possible solution for adaptive nonlinear flight control. In this research an Adaptive Critic Design (ACD) based on Dual Heuristic Dynamic Programming (DHP) is developed and implemented on a simulated Cessna Citation 550 aircraft. Using an online identified system model approximation, the method is independent...master thesis 2019

Lange, Berend-Jan (author)Artificial neural networks are the key driver of progress in various semantic computer vision tasks such as age prediction and digit classification. For the successful application of neural network algorithms, the representation of the data is an important factor. A good representation can significantly simplify a regression or prediction task....master thesis 2021

Meulman, Erik (author)Model-based evolutionary algorithms (MBEAs) are praised for their broad applicability to black-box optimization problems. In practical applications however, they are mostly used to repeatedly optimize different instances of a single problem class, a setting in which specialized algorithms generally perform better. In this paper, we introduce the...master thesis 2019

Turan, O.T. (author)Various engineering applications rely on efficient, high performance materials to overcome design challenges. This high performance can be achieved by engineering micro-heterogenous materials also known as composites. Since the behavior of composites relies heavily on micro-scale interactions between different components, modeling...master thesis 2020

Rajwade, Rajesh (author)Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a widely used technique to obtain images of the interior of the human body for diagnosis and treatment. MRI machines capture the raw signal in spatial frequency domain i.e. k-space and the image is obtained via Fourier transform. The Cartesian acquisition is one of the most commonly used acquisition patterns in MRI...master thesis 2019

van der Valk, Daan (author)Side-channel attacks (SCA) aim to extract a secret cryptographic key from a device, based on unintended leakage. Profiled attacks are the most powerful SCAs, as they assume the attacker has a perfect copy of the target device under his control. In recent years, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques have became popular as...master thesis 2019

Marcelis, N.H.H. (author)With the performance of current motion planning methods being highly dependent on the quality of the perception system, robust 3D multi-object detection and tracking are vital for autonomous driving applications. Despite all the advancements in 2D and 3D object detectors, robust tracking of pedestrians in dense scenarios is still a challenging...master thesis 2021
