Blockchain and federated learning for data sharing in vehicular network by Qiu, Stanley

“…The blockchain primarily utilizes the principle of distributed consensus in its core, making it robustly reliable even in network systems with multi-millions of users with competing self-interests like in Ethereum or Bitcoin. This report endeavors to simulate a federated machine learning framework implemented in an internet of vehicles (IoV), with 2 classes of participating nodes: vehicles, and road side units (RSU). …”

Exploring sequential VAE to handle time-series data by Tan, Colin G-Hao

“…This means that we want the VAE to not only learn the important features present in the data, but also to capture the temporal differences between consecutive data points in the latent space, which could be useful for tasks like out-of-distribution (OOD) detection. Ultimately, the results of this project hope to be able to improve the task of OOD detection, by proposing architectures that are able to perform well at the task.…”

Seed dispersal pattens of large-seeded trees in the forests of Singapore by See, James Zhe Yuan

“…Seed dispersal is integral for the continued persistence of trees, as successful dispersal reduces competition for seedlings and allows for greater access to resources like space, light, and nutrients. However, for large-seeded animal-dispersed trees in environments that have lost their large animal dispersers (megafauna), their underlying dispersal mechanisms and the extent of their dispersal are not entirely clear. …”
