The mechanical and magnetic behaviour of sintered fibre networks and their suitability for a therapeutic, biomedical application
(Department of Engineering, 2015-09-23)Background: Sintered, metallic fibre networks have been used in the design of a range of technical devices in the past years (e.g. heat exchangers or catalysts). One potential application in the field of therapeutic, ... -
Data and Computation Efficient Meta-Learning
In order to make predictions with high accuracy, conventional deep learning systems require large training datasets consisting of thousands or millions of examples and long training times measured in hours or days, consuming ... -
Supersonic Corner Flows in Rectangular Channels
Rectangular channel geometries are widely encountered in supersonic flows, such as in wind tunnels and in aircraft inlets. Shock-boundary-layer interactions in these flows are known to exhibit significant three-dimensionality, ... -
Advances in Latent Variable and Causal Models
(2021-01-01)This thesis considers three different areas of machine learning concerned with the modelling of data, extending theoretical understanding in each of them. First, the estimation of f- divergences is considered in a setting ...
