I detta arbetet har en evolutionär algoritm utformats för att hitta artificella neurala nätverk (ANN) optimerade för att klassificera bilder. Artificiella neurala nätverk (ANN) är en AI-teknik där hjärnans nervsystem efterliknas i ett datorprogram, med målet att datorn själv ska lära sig utföra uppgifter. Detta har visat sig mycket framgångsrikt och har gett AI-forskningen ett stort uppsving de sThis thesis investigates how well a neural architecture search can find competitive image classifiers on the CIFAR-10 data set with limited computational resources. Most work done on architecture search either uses vast computational resources or narrow and strongly informed space of possible solutions. The solution space proposed consists of residual convolutional networks with separable convol

Introducing an N-sulfonylamidine substituent in galactose increased the selectivity for galectin-9N, a protein involved in functions of the immune system, and is believed to have roles in autoimmune diseases and cancer. In this work, a fast method for regioselective monoalkylation of galactose by microwave irradiation was developed, and eight potential galectin-9N inhibitors were synthesized. Mole

Creating Non-governmental Self-help groups (SHGs) has been a common thing in India since the early 1990’s. Studies show that the SHGs usually empower their members in different ways. The empirical material being used in this paper consists of one group discussion and twelve semi-structured interviews with members of five different SHGs being organized by a Non governmental organization (NGO) in Mu
