1. Gaze Following in Infancy : Mechanisms and Developmental Context
Abstract : Few things are as fundamental to humans as the ability to share attention. It allows us to coordinate our actions with, and assimilate knowledge from, the actions of others with remarkable efficiency and accuracy. This ability emerges in infancy and sets the stage for all subsequent social development. READ MORE

2. Understanding Neural Machine Translation : An investigation into linguistic phenomena and attention mechanisms
Abstract : In this thesis, I explore neural machine translation (NMT) models via targeted investigation of various linguistic phenomena and thorough exploration of the internal structure of NMT models, in particular the attention mechanism. With respect to linguistic phenomena, I explore the ability of NMT models to translate ambiguous words, to learn long-range dependencies, to learn morphology, and to translate negation—linguistic phenomena that have been challenging for the older paradigm of statistical machine translation.

3. Attention capture by sudden and unexpected changes : a multisensory perspective
Abstract : The main focus for this thesis was cross-modal attention capture by sudden and unexpected sounds and vibrations, known as deviants, presented in a stream the same to-be-ignored stimulus. More specifically, the thesis takes a multisensory perspective and examines the possible similarities and differences in how deviant vibrations and sounds affect visual task performance (Study I), and whether the deviant and standard stimuli have to be presented within the same modality to capture attention away from visual tasks (Study II).

4. Internalization mechanisms of cell-penetrating peptides : Structure-activity relationships, cellular distribution and membrane toxicity studies
Abstract : Transport of substances with pharmaceutical potential over the plasma membrane has been pushed a great step forward with the discovery of short cationic polypeptides, known as cell-penetrating peptides (CPP). Since then, the internalization mechanism and cargo delivery properties of CPPs has been extensively studied. READ MORE

5. Social Policy in Development Contexts : Drivers, Mechanisms and Outcomes
Abstract : Economic growth amidst staggering inequality in many low- and middle-income countries makes the quest to end global poverty more topical than ever. Calls to leave no one behind in the course of development underscore the need to reconsider the role of policy frameworks in emerging economies. READ MORE
