Deep image clustering is a rapidly growing branch of machine learning and computer vision, in which deep neural networks are trained to discover groups within a set of images, in an unsupervised manner. Deep neural networks have proven to be immensely successful in several machine learning tasks, but the majority of these advances have been in supervised settings. The process of labeling data for ...

Today, many fields are characterised by having extensive quantities of data from a wide range of dissimilar sources and domains. One such field is medicine, in which data contain exhaustive combinations of spatial, temporal, linear, and relational data. Often lacking expert-assessed labels, much of this data would require analysis within the fields of unsupervised or semi-supervised learning. Thus, ...

Brystkreft er den vanligste kreftformen for kvinner og overlevelsesraten er betydelig høyere ved tidlig deteksjon. De vanligste undersøkelsesmetodene (mammografi, ultralyd, MRI) er basert på aktive metoder som medfører en viss strålingsfare. Et enkelt, ikke-invasivt instrument som baserer seg på passive metoder er derfor motivasjonen for denne masteroppgaven. Oppgaven beskriver en konseptuell ...

I løpet av de siste årene har isdekket i polhavet gått fra å være flerårsis til å bli en sesongbasert istype. Hvordan isen utvikler seg på sommeren vil avhenge av smeltevannandelen, blant annet på grunn av at smeltevannet har mindre albedo enn isen. For å estimere andelen smeltevann er det i denne oppgaven utviklet flere metoder som kan brukes på satellittbilder. Disse metodene bruker en statistisk ...

The present study aimed to examine the performance of an open-source diffusion model inpainting algorithm under varying conditions of inpainting strength and mask radius. However, the results obtained were unexpected and raise significant concerns. Our findings indicate that the algorithm not only modifies the pixels within the designated mask, as intended, but also alters pixels out side of the ...

Hyperthermia treatment (tissue heating up to 42-45 ºC) based on microwave applicators always uses a temperature controlled coupling medium consisting of deionized water. The bolus prevents blisters in the skin and acts as an impedance matching layer for the electromagnetic energy between the antenna and the treatment volume. Little is known whether practically realizable water flow-rates and other ...

This work is about classifying time series with missing data with the help of imputation and selected machine learning algorithms and methods. The author has used imputation to replace missing values in two data sets, one containing surgical site infection (SSI) data of 11 types of blood samples of patients over 20 days, and another data set called uwave which contain 3D accelerometer data of several ...

This thesis is a study of pattern classification based on information theoretic criteria. Information theoretic criteria are important measures based on entropy and divergence between data distributions. First, the basic concepts of pattern classification with the well known Bayes classification rule as a starting point is discussed. We discuss how the Parzen window estimator may be used to ...

The fishing and aquaculture industry is one of the largest industries of Norway. Enhanced knowledge of the distribution of fish in the ocean is important for an economical and sustainable fishing industry. This study investigates the possibilities of using Gaussian processes for regression within fish catch prediction. A dataset that combines catch reports from the Norwegian shipping company Havfisk ...

The Norwegian public healthcare system will not have the manpower to care for the elderly at the same level as now, unless technological solutions are found to make the most of the available manpower. This thesis investigates potential technologies for allowing the Giraff, a telepresence robot, to navigate and patrol an eldercare center autonomously, thus letting caregivers save time when checking ...
