FindItOut: a Crowdsourcing Discriminative Tacit Knowledge Elicitation Multiplayer Game using Pictures

Despite the ever-growing advances in artificial intelligence (AI), common sense acquisition and reasoning is still comparingly in their early stages to other fields in AI. To further advance this field, it is necessary to collect large amounts of common sense facts or tacit knowledge to train such AI models. One effective way is to use...

AI on Low-Cost Hardware: FPGA subgroup

In the past decades, much progress has been made in the field of AI, and now many different algorithms exist that reach very high accuracies. Unfortunately, many of these algorithms are quite resource intensive, which makes them unavailable on low-cost devices. <br/>The aim of this thesis is to explore algorithms and neural network techniques...

The effect of ionizing radiation on 1O2 production by Ce6 and TiO2

Photosensitizers play a key role in photodynamic therapy as a drug that is activated by light. In this thesis, the effect of ionizing radiation on the generation of singlet oxygen when using photosensitizers (Chlorin e6) and photocatalysts (titanium dioxide) was studied. By using radionuclides and photosensitizers (PS), cells can be killed with...
