Context. Software testing is the process of finding faults in software while executing it. The results of the testing are used to find and correct faults. Software defect prediction estimates where faults are likely to occur in source code. The results from the defect prediction can be used to opti- mize testing and ultimately improve software quality. Machine learning, that concerns computer programs learning from data, is used to build pre- diction models which then can be used to classify data. Objectives.

Abstract:

This thesis presents data processing techniques for three different but related application areas: embedding learning for classification, fusion of low bit depth images and 3D reconstruction from 2D images. For embedding learning for classification, a novel manifold embedding method is proposed for the automated processing of large, varied data sets. The method is based on binary classification, where the embeddings are constructed so as to determine one or more unique features for each class individually from a given dataset. The proposed method is applied to examples of multiclass classifica

Abstract:

Modelling human activities observed in multimedia streams as temporal sequences of their constituent actions has been the object of much research effort in recent years. However, most of this work concentrates on tasks where the action vocabulary is relatively small and/or each activity can be performed in a limited number of ways. In this Thesis, a novel and robust framework for modelling and analysing composite, prolonged activities arising in tasks which can be effectively executed in a variety of ways is proposed. Additionally, the proposed framework is designed to handle cognitive tasks,

Abstract:

This dissertation describes a new method of computer performance of bowed string instruments (violin, viola, cello) using physical simulations and intelligent feedback control. Computer synthesis of music performed by bowed string instruments is a challenging problem. Unlike instruments whose notes originate with a single discrete excitation (e.g., piano, guitar, drum), bowed string instruments are controlled with a continuous stream of excitations (i.e. the bow scraping against the string). Most existing synthesis methods utilize recorded audio samples, which perform quite well for single-exc

Abstract:

Internet of things (IoT) blir bara större och större varje år och nya enheter läggs till hela tiden. Även om en stor del av dessa enheter är kontinuerligt använda finns det fortfarande väldigt många enheter som står inaktiva och sitter på oanvänd processorkraft som kan användas till att utföra maskininlärnings beräkningar. Det finns för nuvarande väldigt många metoder för att kombinera processorkraften av flera enheter för att utföra maskininlärnings uppgifter, dessa brukar kallas för distribuerade maskininlärnings metoder. huvudfokuset av detta arbetet är att utvärdera olika distribuerade mas

Abstract:

Personalised medicine for cancer treatment promises benefits for patient survival and effective use of medical resources. This goal requires the development of predictive models for the identification and implementation of biomarkers for the prediction of patient survival given treatment options. This thesis addresses research questions in this area. The systematic review detailed in Chapter 2 investigates the literature concerning the prediction of resistance to chemotherapy for ovarian cancer patients using statistical methods and gene expression measurements. The range of models used by stu

Abstract:

Software defined networking (SDN) is a relatively new paradigm that decouples individual network elements from the control logic, offering real-time network programmability, translating high level policy abstractions into low level device configurations. The framework comprises of the data (forwarding) plane incorporating network devices, while the control logic and network services reside in the control and application planes respectively. Operators can optimize the network fabric to yield performance gains for individual applications and services utilizing flow metering and application-aware

Abstract:

Software testing remains one of the most important but expensive approaches to ensure high-quality software today. In order to reduce the cost of testing, over the last several decades, various techniques such as formal verification and inductive learning have been used for test automation in previous research. In this thesis, we present a specification-based black-box testing approach, learning-based testing (LBT), which is suitable for a wide range of systems, e.g. procedural and reactive systems. In the LBT architecture, given the requirement specification of a system under test (SUT), a la

Abstract:

Coding conventions are ubiquitous in software engineering practice. Maintaining a uniform coding style allows software development teams to communicate through code by making the code clear and, thus, readable and maintainable—two important properties of good code since developers spend the majority of their time maintaining software systems. This dissertation introduces a set of probabilistic machine learning models of source code that learn coding conventions directly from source code written in a mostly conventional style. This alleviates the coding convention enforcement problem, where con

Abstract:

With the digitalization and the ever more computerization of personal vehicles, new attack surfaces are introduced, challenging the security of the in-vehicle network. There is never such a thing as fully securing any computer system, nor learning all the methods of attack in order to prevent a break-in into a system. Instead, with sophisticated methods, we can focus on detecting and preventing attacks from being performed inside a system. The current state of the art of such methods, named intrusion detection systems (IDS), is divided into two main approaches. One approach makes its models ve
