An investigation into the use of ConvNext within IICS/IIDS framework for person Re-ID
(2023-05-01)
In this thesis, we explore the integration of ConvNeXt, a CNN-based network inspired by vision transformers, into the Intra and Inter Camera Similarity (IICS) and Intra and Inter Domain Similarity (IIDS) frameworks for ...
Preferential proximal policy optimization in reinforcement learning
(2023-12-01)
The Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), a policy gradient method, excels in reinforcement learning with its ”surrogate” objective function and stochastic gradient ascent. However, PPO does not fully consider the significance ...
Discovery of trend dependencies over time-series
(2023-11-01)
We improve constraint-based data quality using trend dependency (TD) discovery, extending existing order dependencies (ODs) to allow variations and exceptions. Unlike ODs, TDs capture approximate functional mappings between ...
Effects of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on the freshwater gastropod (Planorbella pilsbryi) in the laboratory and in situ integrating a multi-omic approach
(2023-09-01)
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are anthropogenic chemicals that are globally used in consumer and industrial applications. Specifically, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) has been under scrutiny due to its ...
