Collaborative filtering recommender systems have become essential to many Internet services, providing, for instance, book recommendations at Amazon's online e-commerce service, music recommendation in Spotify and movie recommendation in Netflix. Matrix factorization and Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) are two popular methods for implementing recommender systems, both providing superior ...

This thesis presents Giga-View, a gigapixel image viewer controllable from mobile devices. It's design makes interaction available through a web browser and requires no software installation or high processing power from the device being used. Fulfilling the goal of high throughput and low latency, Giga-View is capable of processing an input stream with the frame rate of 60 frames per second, without ...

Today, with the prevalence of many- and multi-core systems has it been sparked a new interest for programming models that permits developer to exploit their resources. This has sparked renewed interest in creating larger event-based systems, systems where stack ripping occurs and with an obfuscated control flow. Both increases the complexity of debugging errors. During the development of the ...

Exploratory analyses are vital to fully realize the potential for scientific discoveries in large-scale biomedical data compendia. Specifically, most biomedical data analyses require a human expert to interactively explore the data to find novel hypotheses or conclusions. However, recent developments in biotechnology instruments are generating Tera-scale datasets. No interactive biomedical data ...

In recent years, self-tracking and recording ourself has become increasingly popular. A large ecosystem of interconnected online activity-tracking web services that record, store, analyse, and visualize personal data is evolving to provide useful services to end-users. However, these personal data can be scattered over multiple web-services, which makes it difficult for an individual to manage and ...
