van Wijk, Thijs (author)In this work we investigate two boundary-value control algorithms for the heat equation on the finite interval. The algorithms we discuss here are based on the unified transform method (UTM), a method invented by A. S. Fokas to solve boundary value problems of partial differential equations. We first inspect the boundary-value control algorithm...master thesis 2023

Zeng, Sijun (author)Site characterization is indispensable in the design phase of geotechnical engineering projects. As a key factor in site characterization, the characterization of soil undrained shear strength (S<sub>u</sub>) is always in the spotlight. Various methods, including laboratory and in-situ tests, have been developed to measure S<sub>u</sub>....master thesis 2023

Kielhöfer, Marius (author)The ability to accurately forecast sales volumes holds substantial significance for businesses. Current classical models struggle in capturing the impact of different variables upon the sales volume. These machine learning models are also not applicable to more than one specific product. The Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT) is implemented to...bachelor thesis 2023

de Beun, Martin (author)Increasing density of housing in postwar neighbourhoods can simultaneously help in reducing housing shortages, address social-economic issues and enable a 2000-watt-society. Shifting household compositions have seen household sizes reduced and floor space usage increase, which corresponds to higher energy and material use. Reducing floor space...master thesis 2023

Smits, Quinten (author)Rapid and uncontrolled urban growth has resulted in fragmented cityscapes, leading to the loss of a sense of place in cities like London. The relentless march of modernization and compulsive development has given rise to illegible spaces, where once-distinctive landmarks are being replaced by generic high-rise buildings and shopping malls. This...master thesis 2023

Timmerman, Kirsten (author)When making decisions, people are automatically guided by their moral compass. However, AI agents need to be conditioned in order to be steered towards moral behaviour. An environment that can be used to train and test agents is the Jiminy Cricket environment. The Jiminy Cricket environment consists of a set of text-based narrative games, where...bachelor thesis 2023

Sachelarie, David (author)Transformer models have proven to be effective tools when used for determining the readability of texts. Models based on pre-trained architectures such as BERT, RoBERTa, and BART, as well as ReadNet, a transformer model which is dedicated to readability assessment, have shown some very promising results. However, there is a lack of research...bachelor thesis 2023

Warchocki, Jan (author)In temporal action localization, given an input video, the goal is to predict which actions it contains, where they begin and where they end. Training and testing current state-of-the-art, deep learning models is done assuming access to large amounts of data and computational power. Gathering such data is however a challenging task and access to...bachelor thesis 2023

Mekkes, Erik (author)Large Language Models of code have seen significant jumps in performance recently. However, these jumps tend to accompany a notable and perhaps concerning increase in scale and costs. We contribute an evaluation of prediction performance with respect to model size by assessing the layer-wise progression for language and user-defined elements in...bachelor thesis 2023

Keeler, Miranda (author)We present an investigation into the relationship between the average depth of the first correct prediction and the performance of CodeGen. This was done on a dataset comprised of code files comprised of C++, Go, Java, Julia, Kotlin, and Python. The analysis involved investigating the model's predictions at different layers using a Tuned Lens,...bachelor thesis 2023
