Thomaidou, Eftychia (author)In this research, we studied the impact of the 5'UTR sequences on translation. This is done by generating various features describing the 5'UTR. Those features are then used as input in regression and classification models, that have the Translation Initiation Rates as target. The reason why it is of such importance, is dual. Because is very...master thesis 2017

Meijer, Ricardo (author)Container vessels arriving in a port before or after their scheduled time can cause problems in the container terminal planning and planning of hinterland transportation. This in turn leads to an increase of the costs in the supply chain. Vessels communicate their Estimated Time of Arrival via Automatic Idetification System(AIS) data to the port...master thesis 2017

Ravi, Siddharth (author)This project addresses a fundamental problem faced by many reinforcement learning agents. Commonly used reinforcement learning agents can be seen to have deteriorating performances at increasing frequencies, as they are unable to correctly learn the ordering of expected returns for actions that are applied. We call this the disappearing...master thesis 2017
