This thesis studies the Canonical Polyadic Decomposition (CPD) constrained kernel machine for large scale learning, i.e. learning with a large number of samples. The kernel machine optimization problem is solved in the primal space, such that the complexity of the problem scales linearly in the number of samples as opposed to scaling cubically...

The development of optical metamaterials in recent years has enabled the design of novel optical devices with exciting properties and applications ranging across many fields, including in scientific instrumentation for space missions. This in<br/>turn has led to demand for computational methods which can produce efficient device designs....

We propose a novel approximation hierarchy for cardinality-constrained, convex quadraticprograms that exploits the rank-dominating eigenvectors of the quadratic matrix. Each levelof approximation admits a min-max characterization whose objective function can be op-timized over the binary variables analytically, while preserving convexity in the...

Large fault­tolerant universal gate quantum computers will provide a major speed­up to a variety of common computational problems. While such computers are years away, we currently have noisy intermediate­scale quantum (NISQ) computers at our disposal. In this project we present two quantum machine learning approaches that can be used to find...

Machine learning has been a computer sciences buzzword for years. The technology has a lot of potential and a huge number of applications that spoke to people with and without knowledge of computer sciences. Image, text and speech recognition, social profiling, computergames, everything seemed possible. Machine learning is not as much in the...

Global medical use of azole antifungals and echinocandins has led to an enormous increase in resistant <i>Candida</i> species, that are most commonly associated with fungal infections. A possible mechanism causing resistance are single or simultaneous point mutations in the genes responsible for encoding antifungal target enzymes. The aim of...

Self-driving vehicles are the future of automotive engineering. Systems that take over control from the driver are developed to be able to interact with the conditions of the road and other obstacles. To develop these systems, developers use vehicle models to simulate the behaviour of the moving vehicle. The systems developed using these models...

When sunlight illuminates a body, a tiny pressure is exerted upon its surface due to the photons impacting on it. Such a principle forms the basis of solar sailing, in which the solar radiation pressure is used to accelerate highly reflective lightweight structures called solar sails. Similarly, a laser-enhanced solar sail is a solar sail in...
