2. 16. Babblers, Biogeography and Bayesian Reasoning

   Author : Magnus Gelang; Per Ericson; Per Alström; Isabel Sanmartín Bastida; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Africa; Asia; Bayesian inference; biogeography; Cettidae; dispersal; extinction; Middle East; persistence; Sylvioidea; Sylviidae; Timaliidae; vicariance; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

   Abstract : In this thesis, I try to proceed one step further towards an understanding of the biogeographic processes forming the distribution patterns of organisms that we see today. Babblers and warblers are diverse groups of passerines that are phylogenetically intermixed with other groups in the superfamily Sylvioidea. READ MORE

4. 17. A Bayesian approach to fault isolation with application to diesel engine diagnosis

   Author : Anna Pernestål; Bo Wahlberg; Stefan Arnborg; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bayesian probability; fault diagnosis; fault isolation; Bayesian inference; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

   Abstract : Users of heavy trucks, as well as legislation, put increasing demands on heavy trucks. The vehicles should be more comfortable, reliable and safe. Furthermore, they should consume less fuel and be more environmentally friendly. For example, this means that faults that cause the emissions to increase must be detected early. READ MORE

5. 18. Bayesian Models for Multilingual Word Alignment

   Author : Robert Östling; Mats Wirén; Ola Knutsson; Jörg Tiedemann; Sharon Goldwater; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; word alignment; parallel text; Bayesian models; MCMC; linguistic typology; sign language; annotation transfer; transfer learning; Linguistics; lingvistik;

   Abstract : In this thesis I explore Bayesian models for word alignment, how they can be improved through joint annotation transfer, and how they can be extended to parallel texts in more than two languages. In addition to these general methodological developments, I apply the algorithms to problems from sign language research and linguistic typology. READ MORE

6. 19. Bayesian learning of structured dynamical systems

   Author : Riccardo Sven Risuleo; Håkan Hjalmarsson; Johan Schoukens; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; system identification; bayesian learning; machine learning; Gaussian processes; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : In this thesis, we propose some Bayesian approaches to the identificationof structured dynamical systems. In particular, we consider block-orientedmodels in which a complex system is built starting from simple linear andnonlinear building blocks. READ MORE

7. 20. Bayesian Inference in Large Data Problems

   Author : Matias Quiroz; Mattias Villani; Bani K. Mallick; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bayesian inference; Large data sets; Markov chain Monte Carlo; Survey sampling; Pseudo-marginal MCMC; Delayed acceptance MCMC; Statistics; statistik;

   Abstract : In the last decade or so, there has been a dramatic increase in storage facilities and the possibility of processing huge amounts of data. This has made large high-quality data sets widely accessible for practitioners. This technology innovation seriously challenges traditional modeling and inference methodology. READ MORE
