The Application of the Tsetlin Machine in Checkers
2020
Master's thesis in Information- and communication technology (IKT590) The Tsetlin Machine has shown promising results in the domain of board games such as Axis& Allies, showing that the Tsetlin Machine may be a contender to more well-known machine learning algorithms. This research aimed to find out how suitable the Tsetlin Machine is for the domain of Checkers, and how to best utilize it for the purpose of playing Checkers. In order to research this, the following questions had to be answered: Which Tsetlin Machine Configuration is best suited for predicting the results of Checkers games? To what degree can the Tsetlin Ma-chine predict the results of Checkers games? How well can a Checkers…
Generating Levels and Playing Super Mario Bros. with Deep Reinforcement Learning Using various techniques for level generation and Deep Q-Networks fo…
2020
Master's thesis in Information- and communication technology (IKT590) This thesis aims to explore the behavior of two competing reinforcement learning agents in Super Mario Bros. In video games, PCG can be used to assist human game designers by generating a particular aspect of the game. A human game designer can use generated game content as inspiration to build further upon, which saves time and resources. Much research has been conducted on AI in video games, including AI for playing Super Mario Bros. Additionally, there exists a research field focused on PCG for video games, which includes generation of Super Mario Bros. levels. In this thesis, the two fields of research are combined to…
Modelling of the Universe : Simulation of the GPS (The Global Positioning System)
2007
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2007 – Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad ParAbel is a project at Agder University College aims at mathematics and physics on Internet. One of the sub projects named SimReal [2] (Simulation in ‘Realfag’), which currently aims at simulating behaviours and properties of universe for both mathematics and physics studying. This project focuses on simulation of the GPS which is one sub task in SimReal. In this paper, on the one hand, we will set up a GPS simulation model and use it to be a teaching material for learning mathematics and physics. On the other hand, by testing the simulation model among the college students, we will discuss about th…
Neighbor discovery and resource allocation for device-to-device communication
2014
Masteroppgave i Informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi IKT590 Universitetet i Agder 2014 Device-to-Device (D2D) communication has attracted lots of attention as one of the most advanced wirelesscommunication technologies which allows access to services offered by nearby devices bypassing the BaseStation (BS). The potential advantages of this direct communication paradigm include high data rate, networkoffloading and range extension, as well as commercial proximity services and social networking. From the UserEquipments (UEs) and BS perspective, additional protocol overhead and discovery resource are required forD2D links. In such a context, neighbor discovery and resource allocation appro…
An AI for dominion based on Monte-Carlo methods
2014
Masteroppgave i Informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi IKT590 Universitetet i Agder 2014 To the best of our knowledge there exists no Arti_cial Intelligence (AI)for Dominion which uses Monte Carlo methods, that is competitive on ahuman level. This thesis presents such an AI, and tests it against someof the top Dominion strategies available. Although in a limited testingenvironment, the results show that our AI is capable of competing withhuman players, while keeping processing time per move at an acceptablelevel for human players. Although the approach for our AI is built onprevious knowledge about Upper Con_dence Bounds (UCB) and UCBapplied to Trees (UCT), an approach for handling the st…
Marine technologies' control networks analysis and optimization for failsafe operations examined for class certification
2014
Masteroppgave i Informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi IKT590 Universitetet i Agder 2014 This thesis presents a suggested solution to improve Marine Technologies (MT) bridgesystems. MT is advancing their technology and use Ethernet as a base. This is new in theoffshore world and certification companies have yet to create clear lines to certify thesenetwork systems. Systems continue to get approved with their current protection, butmeasurements are needed to advance their protection and comply with new demands. Thethesis will go through their current demands and interpret them to optimize MT’s systems andgive the certification companies a clear line to follow. The thesis will analyze MT’s …
Naive Bayes classier-based fire detection using smartphone sensors
2014
Masteroppgave i Informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi IKT590 Universitetet i Agder 2014 For many years, smoke detectors have been used as the most crucial _re detection sensors.Although smoke detectors do their job very well, they are not perfect and may causefalse or late alarms. This is because they only rely on one of the _re signs which is smoke.Fire has many other signs as well such as heat and light. It also a_ects its environmentalparameters such as temperature and humidity. But typically, buildings are not equippedwith sensors capable of sensing these changes. Recently, a few smartphone manufacturershave added temperature, humidity, and barometer sensors to their products which c…
Ontology-based personalized system to support patients at home
2014
Masteroppgave i Informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi IKT590 Universitetet i Agder 2014 Chronic diseases are incurable diseases that require long term supervision and treatments by medical professionals. The most common chronic diseases are cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes respiratory diseases and cancer. With information and communication technology many applications have been implemented to facilitate different clinical decision making process. With new technology, personalized healthcare systems are in place to enable patients with chronic diseases to acquire continuous and long-term medical services at home. This improves healthcare delivery since medical services can be acc…
Position technologies for internet connected mobile terminals, offering location based audio services
2007
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2007 – Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad The company Infotain wishes to offer location based audio guiding at museums. They wish that this audio is going to be available through the visitor’s mobile phone. However, to be able to offer location based audio guiding a suitable positioning technology for mobile phones has to be found. Therefore the purpose of this thesis is to gather information about the technologies that can be used for location based information. After the technologies have been thoroughly examined we have to give Infotain a recommendation about what technology seems to best satisfy the demands. Important factors in evaluati…
Performance Analysis of Super-Orthogonal Space-Time Trellis Coded MIMO-OFDM Systems over the One-Ring Channel
2007
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2007 – Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad With the rapid development of wireless communications, the available bandwidth for wireless applications becomes more and more insufficient. Therefore, how to improve data rate without expending bandwidth becomes a main goal in modern communication system design. Recently, two wireless communication schemes, which can be used to effectively combat with multi-path fading, are widely investigated around the world. One is the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology and another is the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). As a result, a combined system, MIMO-OFDM, can be used for wi…
