Hajizadeh, S. (author)We present a framework for learning arithmetic expressions from a set of observations. Our intention is to introduce a Bayesian method for what is known as equation discovery. Our method is based on measuring a degree of belief (posterior probability) for a set of hypothesized expressions to find those which best explain the observed data. This...master thesis 2012

Wafula, J.B. (author)Many software systems are designed to be long-lived due to the costs involved in developing new systems. Changes in these systems are inevitable due to constant modifications in requirements that are necessitated by the constantly changing nature of the business environment or detection of faults.To adapt their software to all these changing...master thesis 2015

Folkers, C. (author)Two currently popular topics in computer science are machine learning and big data. Often the two are combined to obtain powerful machines with learning capabilities or high throughput data analysis programs among others. This research analyses which machine learning techniques qualify to be efficiently implemented on a scalable big data...master thesis 2016

de Waard, Mike (author)The aviation industry is vastly growing, as travelling by air is more common today than it ever was. However due too inefficiency and lack of communication of accurate flight information between airports, congestion and delays are occurring on a daily basis. While Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) is developed by Euro control to address this...master thesis 2017

Goedhart, Menno (author)Flight control of the DelFly is challenging, because of its complex dynamics and variability due to manufacturing inconsistencies. Machine Learning algorithms can be used to tackle these challenges. A Policy Gradient algorithm is used to tune the gains of a Proportional-Integral controller using Reinforcement Learning. Furthermore, a novel...master thesis 2017

Santokhi, Maniek (author)A world without digital images is unthinkable in this era of information and communication technology. Billions of images are created, shared and ultimately enjoyed by users every day. However, digital images are sensitive to a wide variety of distortions during the delivery mechanism it goes through. Any of the distortions that can arise during...master thesis 2017

Hugtenburg, Stefan (author)Wireless sensor networks are commonly used to remotely and automatically monitor environments.<br/>One of the main challenges in wireless sensor networks is to use the limited available energy as efficiently as possible, to ensure longevity of the network. For such networks to survive their intended deployment period no energy may be wasted on...master thesis 2017

Requeno García, Laura (author)This MSc thesis presents a stochastic modelling approach to the multi-period airline fleet planning problem. Approximate Dynamic Programming (ADP) is used to model the impact of demand uncertainty on fleet decisions. The proposed ADP algorithm applies local value function approximations resulting from Gaussian kernel regressions to estimate...master thesis 2017

Ravi, Siddharth (author)This project addresses a fundamental problem faced by many reinforcement learning agents. Commonly used reinforcement learning agents can be seen to have deteriorating performances at increasing frequencies, as they are unable to correctly learn the ordering of expected returns for actions that are applied. We call this the disappearing...master thesis 2017

Wansink, Jan-Douwe (author)Changing market dynamics make that mining companies need to increase their equipment utilization and use their equipment more effectively. The growing availability of data from mining equipment and mining operations enables the use of data analytics to achieve that goal. This thesis explores the potential of data analytics and machine learning...master thesis 2017

Meijer, Ricardo (author)Container vessels arriving in a port before or after their scheduled time can cause problems in the container terminal planning and planning of hinterland transportation. This in turn leads to an increase of the costs in the supply chain. Vessels communicate their Estimated Time of Arrival via Automatic Idetification System(AIS) data to the port...master thesis 2017

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

Breider, Bas (author)Motocross is a popular, but dangerous sport: improvements in performance and safety should be made to make it more attractive and less dangerous. By automatically recognizing activities of the rider on the track, riders can be informed about dangerous situations, and fans can be provided with insights into the performance of the riders. The goal...master thesis 2017

Choiri, Hendra Hadhil (author)Analysing attractiveness of places in a region is beneficial to support urban planning and policy making. However, the attractiveness of a place is a subjective and high-level concept which is difficult to quantify. The existing methods rely on traditional surveys which may require high cost and have low scalability. This thesis attempts to...master thesis 2017

Echaniz Soldevila, Ignasi (author)This master thesis aims to gain new empirical insights into longitudinal driving behavior by means of the enumeration of a new hybrid car-following (CF) model which combines parametric and non parametric formulation. On one hand, the model, which predicts the drivers acceleration given a set of variables, benefits from innovative machine...master thesis 2017

Vermeer, Kaz (author)Advanced tools such as machine learning are slowly finding their way into the modern scientist’s toolbox . In the design of mechanical systems however hardly any machine learning applications are being used. Research into the viability of such an application is therefore necessary.<br/>We have performed such research, using a specific type of...master thesis 2017

Carzana, Livio (author)When sunlight illuminates a body, a tiny pressure is exerted upon its surface due to the photons impacting on it. Such a principle forms the basis of solar sailing, in which the solar radiation pressure is used to accelerate highly reflective lightweight structures called solar sails. Similarly, a laser-enhanced solar sail is a solar sail in...master thesis 2017
