Using machine learning for exploratory data analysis and predictive models on large datasets
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IDE/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-15)With the advent of the era of big data, machine learning has been widely used in many technologies and industries, which is able to get computers to learn without being explicitly programmed. As one of the fields of the ... -
Using machine learning to identify flow regimes from capacitance sensor data
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-29)In this thesis the k-means clustering and a neural network is developed and used to classify capacitance data from multi phase flow in a horizontal tube. Theoretical background for the unsupervised machine learning ... -
Using magnetic resonance imaging to measure head muscles: An innovative method to opportunistically determine muscle mass and detect sarcopenia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Sarcopenia is associated with multiple adverse outcomes. Traditional methods to determine low muscle mass for the diagnosis of sarcopenia are mainly based on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), whole-body ... -
Using MKT measures for cross-national comparisons of teacher knowledge: Case of Slovakia and Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The measures of mathematical knowledge for teaching developed at the University of Michigan in the U.S., have been adapted and used in studies measuring teacher knowledge in several countries around the world. In the ... -
Using numerical analysis tools to increase the reliability of ultrasonic none intrusive inspection results for in-service pipeline flanges
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-15)This paper explores the benefits of simulating ultrasonic inspections on complex components with varying degradation scenarios. Ultrasonic inspection results on complex components are complex and difficult to decipher. ... -
