Lost in Translation: AI’s Struggles with Scanian – A Study on Language Models’ Attempts to Conquer Swedish and its Dialects

Under de senaste åren har utvecklingen av artificiell intelligens frodats och med sig tagit en förbättrad träffsäkerhet i taligenkänning. Däremot, liksom med alla snabba teknologiska utvecklingar har den sina brister, i det här fallet bristen på dialektal träningsdata. Den här uppsatsen undersöker om AI har en ojämnt fördelad förståelse av regionalt språk, med fokus på försummandet av de sydsvenskThe recent surge in the development of artificial intelligence has greatly improved the accuracy of automatic speech recognition. However, as with all abrupt technical improvements, it will have its weaknesses, in this case the lack of dialectal training data. This thesis investigates if AI has an unevenly distributed understanding of regional speech, focusing on the disregard of southern Swedish

A contact aware regularization technique for shape optimization

A novel regularization method for shape optimization of contacting structures is proposed. The shape optimization avoids parameterizations via splines or the level set method by directly optimizing the nodes in the finite element mesh. In the past this approach was limited by numerical difficulties arising from mesh entanglement and serrated boundaries but recent advances in regularization techniq

Organising integrated urban mobility: actions, roles and identities in an evolving landscape

Multimodal integration is currently being discussed as a way to challenge the dominance of automobility by providing attractive alternatives to private car ownership. Combining critical organisation studies with a mobilities perspective, this article maps actions taken towards integrated urban mobility in two Swedish cities over the course of a year and explores how these actions shape the roles a

Long Enough But Not Too Long : A Posteriori Determination of the Dwell Time Margins from High-Resolution Passenger Flow Data

Dwell time is crucial for railway operations, for example, 20% of the total travel time in a mass transit context in the Paris region. With this, it is also a source of delays due to its variability. One way to ensure the robustness of a timetable is to add margins as buffer time that can be consumed to absorb short delays. Much work has been done on run time margins, but dwell time margins receiv

Återbruk inom byggsektorn. Erfarenheter av att jobba med återbruk och koppling till CSRD

Återbruk innebär att material och produkter återanvänds. Detta skiljer sig från återvinning genom att minimera ingrepp och bevara produkter innan de omvandlas till avfall. Återbruk i byggsektorn kan omfatta material som takpannor, skivor, betong, tegel, dörrar och fönster. För att möjliggöra återbruk finns metoder såsom att skydda material från påfrestningar, välja standardstorlekar, dokumentera mReuse involves reusing materials and products before they become waste. This differs from recycling by minimizing intervention and preserving products prior to their conversion into waste. Reuse in the building sector can include materials such as roof tiles, boards, concrete, bricks, doors, and windows. Enabling reuse involves methods such as protecting materials from damage, selecting standard s

Association between clinical outcome and microbiological findings in peritonsillar abscess - an observational study

Background: Previous studies on causative pathogens in peritonsillar abscesses have yielded varying results. However, Group A streptococci (GAS) and Fusobacterium necrophorum have been identified frequently. The aim of this study was to investigate pathogens in peritonsillar abscesses in patients tested for both ß-hemolytic streptococci and F. necrophorum, and to investigate associations between p

Inverted Stones and Shaman Houses: Semantic Typology of Landscape in Languages of North America

Landscapes fill a fundamental function of the human experience. The variance of these landscapes however, are vast, and arguably, so could the human experience of them and the ways they are expressed linguistically be as well. Of the few studies that so far has been conducted on this, none has focused on North America as a whole in a quantitative manner. This study aims to explore what systems lan

Animal models of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP)

With regards to research animal models related to immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), there is an extensive literature of over 300 publications published since 1959. It appears that many of these models either confirm what has been found in human ITP or, in some instances, are the first to describe a phenomenon related to ITP that is still of relevance today in human medicine. These models will undoubt

Future research in ITP : an ICIS consensus

While much has been learned about the basic immunology and clinical characteristics of immune thrombocytopenia, many important questions remain with regard to pathogenesis, disease progression, identification of novel therapeutic targets and approaches, and clinical trials that rationalize and optimize use of existing therapies. The answers to these questions are likely to impact our understanding
