Þorbjarnarson, T. (author)Recent work has shown potential in using Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) solvers to optimize certain aspects of neural networks (NN). However little research has gone into training NNs with MIP solvers. State of the art methods to train NNs are typically gradient-based and require significant amounts of data, computation on GPUs and extensive...master thesis 2020

Bouma, Jort (author)In this work we investigate neural networks and subsequently physics-informed neural networks. Physicsinformed neural networks are away to solve physical models that are based on differential equations by using a neural network. The wave equation, Burgers’ equation, Euler’s equation, and the ideal magnetohydrodynamic equations are introduced and...bachelor thesis 2020

van Rhijn, J. (author)Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have shown promising results when applied on partial differential equations and financial time series generation. This thesis investigates if GANs can be used to provide a strong approximation to the solution of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) of the Ito type. Standard GANs are only able to...master thesis 2020

Nicou, Nikolas (author)The field of Computing has been a significant catalyst for innovation across various segments of our lives. Computational neuroscience keeps demanding increased perfor- mance to implement powerful simulators able to closely approximate brain behavior using complex mathematical models. This resulted in various High-Performance Com- puting systems...master thesis 2020

Klein Schiphorst, Jonathan (author)Stability, safety and optimality are often sought-after properties in the field of controller synthesis. In the last century, linear control theory has matured to a level where scalable algorithms are widely available that are able to synthesize controllers with stability and optimality guarantee. However, the synthesis of safe controllers...master thesis 2021

Chotalal, Rohan (author)For most robotics applications, optimal control remains a promising solution for solving complex control tasks. One example is the time-optimal flight of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs), where strict computational requirements fail to resolve such algorithms onboard. Recent work on the use of deep neural networks for guidance and control (G&CNets)...master thesis 2021

Ochalhi, Redouan (author)In this research, different models are used to construct volatility surfaces and these models are compared with each other in terms of accuracy. The models range from the SSVI to neural networks. Specifically, we look at the SSVI, the feedforward neural network and the gated neural network. Attention is also paid to the incorporation of...master thesis 2021

Meinke, Klaas (author)By the late 2020s or early 2030s, the next generation of telescopes will be able to directly observe the reflected starlight of Earth-like exoplanets. Because of the huge distance to other stars, such exoplanets will appear as single unresolved pixels. A single pixel can, however, provide information about what the planet looks like because its...master thesis 2021

Chiroşca, Mihail (author)A limitation of current ASR systems is the so-called out-of-vocabulary words. The solution to overcome this limitation is to use APR systems. Previous research on Dutch APR systems identified Time Delayed Bidirectional Long-Short Term Memory Neural Network (TDNN-BLSTM) as one of best performing state-of-the-art NN architecture for PR. The goal...bachelor thesis 2021

Hoogenberg, Ruben (author)In this thesis we have looked into the complexity of neural networks. Especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which are useful for image recognition, are looked into. In order to better understand the process in the neural networks, in the first half of this report a mathematical foundation for neural networks and CNNs is constructed....bachelor thesis 2021

de Jong, Joep (author)The transcription of voice using neural networks is a technique that deserves attention, as speech assistants are becoming increasingly popular. Neural networks have often difficulty with determining the differences between a talking person and noise. Humans have a much better understanding of this and could possibly apply their knowledge of the...bachelor thesis 2021

Bockstael, Vincent (author)In this study, we investigate the usage of generative adversarial networks for modelling a collection of sounds. The proposed method incites an interpretation of musical sound synthesis based on audio collections rather than synthesizer component controls. This promises the generation of arbitrarily complex sounds without the restrictions of...bachelor thesis 2021

Ruland, Oscar (author)Recent trends in aviation highlight the ever-increasing need for fuel economy and sustainability. Active morphing technology can offer significant benefits over conventional wing designs. Inspired by nature, smart morphing technologies enable the aircraft of tomorrow to sense their environment and adapt the shape of their wings in-flight to...master thesis 2021

Lopez Bosque, Irene (author)Interactive imitation learning refers to learning methods where a human teacher interacts with an agent during the learning process providing feedback to improve its behaviour. This type of learning may be preferable with respect to reinforcement learning techniques when dealing with real-world problems. This fact is especially true in the case...master thesis 2021

van Oudenhoven, Vincent (author)An empirical study is performed exploring the sensitivity to hidden confounders of GANITE, a method for Individualized Treatment Effect (ITE) estimation. Most real world datasets do not measure all confounders and thus it is important to know how crucial this is in order to obtain comparable predictions. This is explored through the removal of...bachelor thesis 2022

Hermans, Sebastiaan (author)In this thesis, a proof of concept was established for the use of a novel coupled QM-MD approach to modelling metallic (copper) electrode-electrolyte interfaces. SCC-DFTB calculations of the instantaneous electronic structure of a copper electrode were coupled to a classical MD simulation of an electrode-electrolyte interface. The applied QM-MD...master thesis 2022
