Evaluating & enhancing deep learning systems via out-of-distribution detection by Christopher, Berend David

“…Then, we propose an OOD testing criteria to enhance error discovery and propose distribution aware robustness enhancement by showing that filtering errors far from the trained distribution increases robustness by 21.5\%. We then enhance the field of OOD by introducing a fine-grained OOD technique assessing the ground truth of data augmentation and increasing accuracy by 31.9\% by guiding data augmentation selection with distribution awareness. …”

Evaporation and crystallisation of saline droplet with surfactant on smooth surfaces by Wong, Dennis Kin Wai

“…Recommended future work could include exploring the effects of varying different concentrations of NaCl below the supersaturation concentration range (1-15% of NaCl) and varying different concentrations of surfactants at the critical micelle concentration (CMC) levels (1-1.5 CMC). This could potentially offer new insights into the evaporative and crystallisation behaviour of the droplets, as well as new deposition patterns.…”

Surface water sensitivity to climate variability by Paltan-Lopez, H

“…Furthermore, by applying this framework, this thesis found that committing to a 1.5oC level of warming, instead of 2.0°C, as agreed in Paris in 2015, may importantly decrease high flow occurrences in regions such central Asia or western Europe. …”

Conformational changes involved in signal transduction in avian cryptochromes by Gehrckens, AS

“…The findings on dimerisation are presented in chapter 5.</p> <p>Finally, by mapping conformational changes found in molecular dynamics simulations onto changes observed in a previous HDX-MS data set on the <em>Drosophila</em> cryptochrome, a few gaps left by the incomplete coverage of the current experimental data were filled by acquiring information on the phosphate-binding loop and the protrusion motif, two regions which have also been found to undergo light-induced structural changes for the avian cryptochromes investigated. …”
