Option Pricing Techniques: Using Neural Networks

With the emergence of more complex option pricing models, the demand for fast and accurate numerical pricing techniques is increasing. Due to a growing amount of accessible computational power, neural networks have become a feasible numerical method for approximating solutions to these pricing models. This work concentrates on analysing various...

Music Genre Detection: with Neural Networks

In this thesis we classify samples of music according to the genre that the music belongs to using neural networks. We divide this task into four parts. In the first part, we prepare the audio files to be used as input to a neural network. Specifically, we examine ways to create spectrograms. We then optimise the spectrograms by reducing and...

Detecting malicious behaviour using system calls

The emergence of Apple’s Macintosh computers’ popularity introduces new threats and challenges for the security on the Mac. For a long time, OS X security has benefitted from the popularity of Microsoft Windows. The threat landscape for the Mac is rapidly changing as the marketshare of the Mac is approaching 15%1. Malware on Apple’s OS X systems...
