Abstract:
Multi-instance (MI) learning is a variant of supervised machine learning, where each learning example contains a bag of instances instead of just a single feature vector. MI learning has applications in areas such as drug activity prediction, fruit disease management and image classification. This thesis investigates the case where each instance has a weight value determining the level of influence that it has on its bag's class label. This is a more general assumption than most existing approaches use, and thus is more widely applicable. The challenge is to accurately estimate these weights

Current approaches for object instance detection rely heavily on matching discriminative point-based features such as SIFT.

Abstract:
Smart Cities concern a variety of domains such as information, data, energy, transport, health, etc. The ‘Information Age’, which shifts from the Industrial Revolution to information computerisation, accesses to large volumes of data explored by sophisticated computer based analytics. ICT solutions interconnect businesses and customers through the cloud while driving the global economy and development of Smart Cities. This MSc thesis aims to investigate connections between Smart Cities and cloud-based Cognitive Computing, then demonstrate with instances how the combination of Watson cognitive

Abstract:
Cette thèse porte sur la configurationAutomatisée des algorithmes qui vise à trouver le meilleur paramétrage à un problème donné ou une catégorie deproblèmes.Le problème de configuration de l'algorithme revient doncà un problème de métaFoptimisation dans l'espace desparamètres, dont le métaFobjectif est la mesure deperformance de l’algorithme donné avec une configuration de paramètres donnée.Des approches plus récentes reposent sur une description des problèmes et ont pour but d’apprendre la relationentre l’espace des caractéristiques des problèmes etl’espace des configurations de l’algorithme

Abstract:
Le principal objectif de la vision par ordinateur est de permettre aux machines d'extraire des informations significatives à partir de données visuelles, telles que des images et des vidéos, et de tirer parti de ces informations pour effectuer une large gamme de tâches. À cette fin, de nombreuses recherches se sont concentrées sur le développement de modèles d'apprentissage profond capables de coder des représentations visuelles complètes et robustes. Une stratégie importante dans ce contexte consiste à préentraîner des modèles sur des ensembles de données à grande échelle, tels qu'ImageNet, p
