Psyllidis, A. (author), Choiri, Hendra Hadhil (author)An understanding of how people perceive attractive or unattractive places in cities is vitally important to urban planning and policy making. Given the subjective nature of human perception and the ambiguous character of attractiveness as an attribute of urban places, it is challenging to quantify and reliably assess the extent to which a place...abstract 2018

Holtgrefe, Tim (author)Microtubules are long cylindrical polymers, assembled from tubulin proteins. Microtubule ends can be visualized using fluorescence and confocal microscopy. This allows for the study of microtubule dynamics. However, the manual annotation of microtubules is laborious, which is why automated tracking methods are used. In this project we have...bachelor thesis 2023

Chen, Qilin (author)Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are often pruned to achieve faster training and inference speed while also requiring less memory. Nevertheless, during computation, most modern GPUs cannot take advantage of the sparsity automatically, especially on networks with unstructured sparsity. Therefore, many libraries that exploit sparsity, have...bachelor thesis 2022

Narchi, William (author)This paper presents how a convolutional neural network can be constructed in order to recognise gestures using photodiodes and ambient light. A number of candidates are presented and evaluated, with the most performant being adopted for in-depth analysis. This network is then compressed in order to be ran on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE...bachelor thesis 2022

Biesheuvel, Julian (author)Yes, convolutional neural networks are domain-invariant, albeit to some limited extent. We explored the performance impact of domain shift for convolutional neural networks. We did this by designing new synthetic tasks, for which the network’s task was to map images to their mean, median, standard deviation, and variance pixel intensities. We...bachelor thesis 2021

den Heijer, Remco (author)Does a convolutional neural network (CNN) always have to be deep to learn a task? This is an important question as deeper networks are generally harder to train. We trained shallow and deep CNNs and evaluated their performance on simple regression tasks, such as computing the mean pixel value of an image. For these simple tasks we show that...bachelor thesis 2021

Gajadhar, Vivek (author)Dose calculations in proton therapy need to be computed as fast as possible for successful cancer treatment planning and execution. The dose calculation algorithms that provide enough accuracy for treatment planning, takes too much time to utilise; therefore there is a need for faster alternatives. One of the alternatives is using a...bachelor thesis 2022

Quin, Tristan (author)This research investigates the efficacy and reliability of geometric matching for the specific case of aligning non-exact copies of artistic works with the original from which they were derived. The purpose of which is to provide a foundation for comparison in any further analysis conducted by conservators and art historians. An overview of the...bachelor thesis 2022

Spaans, Erik (author)The accurate approximation of the surface tension force is paramount for continuum surface models in the field of computational fluid dynamics for multiphase flow where surface tension is relevant. This involves being able to accurately calculate the curvature at the interface. This study focuses on the use of convolution in smoothing the VOF...bachelor thesis 2018

Reda, Yuji (author)Badnets are a type of backdoor attack that aims at manipulating the behavior of Convolutional Neural Networks. The training is modified such that when certain triggers appear in the inputs the CNN is going to behave accordingly. In this paper, we apply this type of backdoor attack to a regression task on gaze estimation. We examine different...bachelor thesis 2023

Di Giuseppe Deininger, Giuseppe (author)During a learning task, keeping a steady attentive state is detrimental for good performance. A person is subject to distraction from different sources, among which distractions originating from within him or herself or from external sources, such as ambient sound. The detection of such distraction can improve the effectiveness of a task by...bachelor thesis 2021

Galjaard, Jeroen (author)The execution of multi-inference tasks on low-powered edge devices has become increasingly popular in recent years for adding value to data on-device. The focus of the optimization of such jobs has been on hardware, neural network architectures, and frameworks to reduce execution speed. However, it is yet not known how different scheduling...bachelor thesis 2020

Thakoersingh, Ratish (author)This research provides an overview on how training Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) on imbalanced datasets affect the performance of the CNNs. Datasets could be imbalanced as a result of several reasons. There are for example naturally less samples of rare diseases. Since the network is trained less on those instances, this might lead to...bachelor thesis 2021
