2. 1. Predictive markers : for treatment sensitivity in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

   Author : Lovisa Farnebo; Karin Roberg; Ann-Charlotte Johansson; Lena Norberg-Spaak; Antti Mäkitie; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Head and neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer world wide. In Sweden approximately 850 new cases are diagnosed each year, and two thirds are men. The past decades of improved treatment strategies have unfortunately not significantly improved the five-year survival rates for this group of patients. READ MORE

4. 2. Predictive Healthcare : Cervical Cancer Screening Risk Stratification and Genetic Disease Markers

   Author : Nicholas Baltzer; Jan Komorowski; Mark Jit; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bioinformatics; Cervical Cancer; Screening; Computer Science; Algorithmics; Machine Learning; Genetics; SNPs; Rough Sets; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik;

   Abstract : The use of Machine Learning is rapidly expanding into previously uncharted waters. In the medicine fields there are vast troves of data available from hospitals, biobanks and registries that now are being explored due to the tremendous advancement in computer science and its related hardware.

5. 3. Our Humanity Exposed : Predictive Modelling in a Legal Context

   Author : Stanley Greenstein; Peter Wahlgren; Dan Svantesson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; predictive modelling; predictive analytics; profiling; big data; algorithm; surveillance; privacy; autonomy; identity; digital identity; data privacy; human rights; data protection; European Convention on Human Rights; Data Protection Directive; General Data Protection Regulation GDPR ; empowerment; Law and Information Technology; rättsinformatik;

   Abstract : This thesis examines predictive modelling from the legal perspective. Predictive modelling is a technology based on applied statistics, mathematics, machine learning and artificial intelligence that uses algorithms to analyse big data collections, and identify patterns that are invisible to human beings.

6. 4. Learning local predictive accuracy for expert evaluation and forecast combination

   Author : Oscar Oelrich; Mattias Villani; Francesco Ravazzolo; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bayesian; forecast combination; predictive density; Gaussian process; bootstrap; Bayes factors; model selection; Bayesian predictive synthesis; nonparametric methods; power transformation; expected log predictive density; variable selection; statistik; Statistics;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of four papers that study several topics related to expert evaluation and aggregation. Paper I explores the properties of Bayes factors. Bayes factors, which are used for Bayesian hypothesis testing as well as to aggregate models using Bayesian model averaging, are sometimes observed to behave erratically. READ MORE

7. 5. Predictive control for autonomous driving : With experimental evaluation on a heavy-duty construction truck

   Author : Pedro Lima; Bo Wahlberg; Jonas Mårtensson; Alberto Bemporad; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Autonomous vehicles; model predictive control; automatic control; heavy-duty vehicles; mining; trucks; clothoids; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : Autonomous vehicles is a rapidly expanding field, and promise to play an important role in society. In more isolated environments, vehicle automation can bring significant efficiency and production benefits and it eliminates repetitive jobs that can lead to inattention and accidents. READ MORE
