van der Meulen, Jan (author)Federated learning (FL) is a privacy preserving machine learning approach which allows a machine learning model to be trained in a distributed fashion without ever sharing user data. Due to the large amount of valuable text and voice data stored on end-user devices, this approach works particularly well for natural language processing (NLP)...bachelor thesis 2024

Chen, Si-Jing (author)At crime scenes, various methods can be used to determine how much time has passed since the act happened, for example a body left at the scene, camera footage or eye witnesses. In this thesis, however, a different method shall be used to determine the time of the crime. The time will be determined using blood evidence. <br/><br/>To be exact,...bachelor thesis 2023

Houben, Jort (author)A common problem in wireless communication is the existence of multipath propagation. This means that a transmitted signal is received multiple times because of reflections caused by the environment. We present two ways of modeling multipath propagation of an acoustic underwater signal. We discretise these models to solve them numerically....bachelor 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

Sándor, Kristóf (author)Large Language Models (LLM) have brought significant performance increase on many Natural Language Processing tasks. However LLMs have not been tested for meeting summarization. This research paper examines the effectiveness of the gpt-3.5-turbo model on the meeting summarization domain. However due to input length limitations, it cannot be...bachelor thesis 2023

Lubbers, Rob (author)Nowadays Large Language Models are becoming more and more prevalent in today's society. These models act without a sense of morality however. They only prioritize accomplishing their goal. Currently, little research has been done evaluating these models. The current state of the art Reinforcement Learning models represent morality by a singular...bachelor thesis 2023

Şerbănescu, Bianca (author)Morality is a fundamental concept that guides humans in the decision-making process. Given the rise of large language models in society, it is necessary to ensure that they adhere to human principles, among which morality is of substantial importance. While research has been done regarding artificial agents behaving morally, current state of the...bachelor thesis 2023

Parankusam, Taneshwar Pranav (author)Federated Continual Learning (FCL) is a emerging field with strong roots in Image classification. However, limited research has been done on its potential in Natural Language Processing and Tabular datasets. With recent developments in A.I. with language models and the widespread use of mobile devices, it becomes relevant to consider FCL’s...bachelor thesis 2023

Fokker, Floris (author)In this thesis, the hydrodynamic limit (HDL) for two trapping models is studied, the Random Waiting Time Model (RWTM) and the fractional kinetics process (FKP), on a discrete lattice Zd . The RWTM is studied for dimension d ≥ 1 and E[wi ],∞where wi denotes the waiting time at position i . On the other hand, the FKP is studied for d ≥ 3 and a...bachelor thesis 2023

Stellinga, Bram (author)The segmentation of anatomical structures in 3D medical images is crucial for various applications in the field of medical imaging. Fully automated methods often lack accuracy, while manual segmenting requires much time and effort from a user. Due to this, Active Learning approaches are being proposed to solve this by making the method...bachelor thesis 2023

Zatezalo, Mateja (author)Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) is a machine learning technique used for learning rewards from the behavior of an expert agent. With complex agents, such as humans, the maximized reward may not be easily retrievable. This is because humans are prone to cognitive biases. Cognitive biases are a form of deviation from rationality that affects...bachelor thesis 2023

Maassen van den Brink, Mitchell (author)In this thesis, research was done in the area of interacting particle systems. Especially, the symmetric exclusion process with local perturbations was investigated. These perturbations, were in the form of sinks and sources, which add or take away particles at certain rates. Moreover, simulations were done for the asymmetric exclusion process....bachelor thesis 2023

Wong, Jing Jing (author)This research consists of two applications of image processing, namely, image compression and image denoising. Image compression aims to reduce the size of an image without losing too many features. This is often used to store a large number of images such as fingerprints. Denoising is a technique for removing noise from an image while...bachelor thesis 2022
