    Abstract : Social networking sites are integral in reshaping how we access and interact with information and others. This doctoral thesis aims to offer an in-depth understanding of engagement in an everyday life information practice within a private Facebook group. READ MORE

  4. 2. An Ontology-Based Platform for Information Integration : Supporting Sustainable Smart Transportation Infrastructure

    Author : Wiebke Belitz-Hellwich; Nicole Kringos; Annika Gram; Romain Balieu; Vangelis Angelakis; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ontology; Semantic Web; Interoperability; Information Integration; Logistics; Simulation; Smart Port; ontologi; semantisk webb; interoperabilitet; informationsintegration; logistik; simulering; smart hamn.; Bro- och stålbyggnad; Structural Engineering and Bridges;

    Abstract : Transportation and transportation infrastructure are major contributors to global emissions. Even though most of these emissions can be attributed to fuel consumption of vehicles, some of it is due to pavement construction and maintenance. READ MORE

  5. 3. Information-Theoretic Generalization Bounds: Tightness and Expressiveness

    Author : Fredrik Hellström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; information theory; neural networks; generalization; statistical learning; meta learning; PAC-Bayes; Machine learning;

    Abstract : Machine learning has achieved impressive feats in numerous domains, largely driven by the emergence of deep neural networks. Due to the high complexity of these models, classical bounds on the generalization error---that is, the difference between training and test performance---fail to explain this success. READ MORE

  6. 4. A time and place for everything? : social visualisation tools and critical literacies

    Author : Veronica Johansson; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Critical literacy; Document perspective; enactments of meaning; geographic information systems GIS ; ICT; information activities; inscriptions; interaction; library and information science LIS ; representation; social data; social visualisation tools; sociocultural perspective; Library and information science; Library and Information Science; Biblioteks- och informationsvetenskap;

    Abstract : The aim of this study is to analyse mutual enactments of critical literacies and social visualisation tools as information resources. The central concept of critical literacies as used here extends and redefines prior critical literacy definitions to denote the pluralistic situated enactments of meaning through which study participants identify, question and transform bias, restrictions and power related aspects of access, control and use in relation to the tools.

  7. 5. Estimating Human Limb Motion Using Skin Texture and Particle Filtering

    Author : Björn Holmberg; Håkan Lanshammar; Virgil Stokes; Christopher L. Vaughan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Human motion analysis; Skin texture; Monte Carlo estimation; Particle filter; Mutual Information; Simulated Annealing; Marker-free; Rigid body transformation; 2D correlation; Systems engineering; Systemteknik;

    Abstract : Estimating human motion is the topic of this thesis. We are interested in accurately estimating the motion of a human body using only video images capturing the subject in motion. Video images from up to two cameras are considered.The first main topic of the thesis is to investigate a new type of input data. READ MORE
