Dekeling, Casper (author)In the development of any new technology, it is essential to have methods to assess the quality of a system, to compare different systems to one another, and to compare different versions of the same system, to see if changes to the system can actually be classified as improvements. For quantum networks, this is no different. To further develop...bachelor thesis 2023

Federated learning: a comparison of methods: How do different Federated Learning frameworks compare?Cristea, Vlad (author)Federated Learning is a machine learning paradigm for decentralized training over different clients. The training happens in rounds where each client learns a specific model which is then aggregated by a central server and passed back to the clients. Since the paradigm’s inception, many frameworks that provide Federated Learning tools and...bachelor thesis 2023

Kant, Henk (author)As the sharing of machine learning (ML) models has increased in popularity, more so-called model zoos are created. These repositories facilitate the sharing of models and their metadata, and other people to find and re-use an existing model. However, the metadata provided for models is insufficient, with little focus on practical aspects of a...master thesis 2023

Vergés i Plaza, Guillem (author)Trailing-edge noise can be the dominant noise source of diverse industrial applications, including wind turbines. Noise regulations may limit the power production and installation of new wind farms. There is a need to reduce it. In order to achieve so, we first need to predict it, and to do so we need experimental data to support and validate...master thesis 2022
