Health monitoring, lifetimes estimation, and thermal management of IGBT-based power converters by Mohamed Halick Mohamed Sathik

“…Reliability of a power converter is mainly verbalized by the failure rate of power semiconductor device and dc-link capacitor. For instance, in applications demanding higher reliability, electrolytic capacitors are swapped with film capacitors, since they exhibit lower equivalent series resistance (ESR) with increased reliability. …”

Synthesizing photorealistic images with deep generative learning by Zheng, Chuanxia

“…Part 3 combines recognitive learning and the latest generative modeling into a holistic scene decomposition and completion framework, where a network is trained to decompose a scene into individual objects, infer their underlying occlusion relationships, and moreover imagine what the originally occluded objects may look like, while using only a single image as input. In Chapter 6, the aim is to derive a higher-level structural decomposition of a scene, automatically recognizing objects and generating intact shapes as well as photorealistic appearances for occluded regions, without requiring manual masking as in Part 2. …”

Neural abstractive summarization: improvements at the sequence-level by Ravaut, Mathieu

“…The task can be divided into extractive summarization, where the system must produce an output solely made of input contents, and abstractive summarization, where the model is free to generate new text, much like a human would do. In this thesis, we only consider the latter, more challenging abstractive summarization use case. …”
