  • The Icelandic Pelagic Sector and its Development under an ITQ Management System

    Creator:
    Saevaldsson, Hordur and Gunnlaugsson, Stefan B.
    Abstract:
    During the past three decades considerable changes have taken place within the Icelandic pelagic industry which, previously considered rather fragmented, is now a highly concentrated vertically integrated industry due to considerable consolidations of quotas. During this period, changes in the ecosystem around Iceland have also brought valuable pelagic species such...

  • This Time it's Different: Economic Outcome of Iceland's Experiment with Olympic Coastal Fishing

    Creator:
    Kristofersson, Dadi and Gunnlaugsson, Stefán
    Abstract:
    Regulating fishing trough overall catch limits, sometimes referred to as olympic fishing, has been heavily criticized by fisheries economists for its unhealthy incentives for overcapacity, excessive costs, quantity focus and uneven supply patterns. In spite of this the Icelandic government opened an olympic style coastal fishery for small scale vessels...

  • Semantic embodied navigation : developing agents that navigate from language and vision

    Creator:
    Krantz, Jacob
    Abstract:
    Autonomous robotic agents are on their way to becoming in-home personal assistants, construction assistants, and warehouse workers. The degree of autonomy of such systems is reflected by the manner in which we specify goals to them; the abstraction of low-level commands to high-level goals goes hand-in-hand with increased autonomy. In...

  • Infant Hand Detection and Tracking

    Creator:
    Mishra, Shridhar
    Abstract:
    Hand detection is a fundamental step for many hand-related computer vision tasks, such as gesture recognition, hand pose estimation, hand sign language translation, and so on. However, robustly detecting hands is a challenging task because of drastic changes in appearance based on finger articulation and changes in lighting conditions, camera...

  • Explaining and Improving Neural Machine Translation

    Creator:
    Yang, Yilin
    Abstract:
    Machine Translation, the task of automatically translating between human languages has been studied for decades. This task is used to be solved by count-based statistical models, e.g. Phrase-based Statistical Machine Translation (PBSMT), which solves the translation problem by separately training a statistical language model and a translation model. Recently, Neural...

  • Auxiliary Tasks for Efficient Learning of Point-Goal Navigation

    Creator:
    Desai, Saurabh Satish
    Abstract:
    Top-performing approaches to embodied AI tasks like point-goal navigation often rely on training agents via reinforcement learning over tens of millions (or even billions) of experiential steps – learning neural agents that map directly from visual observations to actions. In this work, we question whether these extreme training durations are...

  • Innovation and Growth: Rationale for Participatory Research in R&D Projects

    Creator:
    Margeirsson, Sveinn and Gunnlaugsson, Valur
    Abstract:
    The agrofood sector is the first activity of the manufacturing industry in Europe, representing 14.6% of the total revenue and a value of more than € 1,048,000 mill. in 2014. Nevertheless, this economic subbranch is characterised by lower investment in R&D,the 0.53% level in 2009, than food and manufacturing industries...

  • Modified limiting dilution analysis : a mathematical model with biological interpretation

    Creator:
    Maier, Stefan H.
    Abstract:
    A mathematical model of Limiting Dilution Analysis for two limiting parameters is presented and investigated. Limiting Dilution Analysis is a microbiological cell assay developed for immunological application. In the given case we deal with the interaction between B lymphocytes, macrophage derived factor and T-independent antigens. The state of the art...

  • Numerical Study of Convexity Splitting Scheme for Coupled Phase Field and Stefan Free Boundary Problems

    Creator:
    Bigler, Lisa A.
    Abstract:
    In this work, we consider a convexity splitting scheme for a coupled phase field and energy equation, a modification of Stefan problem. The Stefan problem is a free boundary value problem that models the temperature in a homogeneous multiphase medium. Each phase is modeled using a heat diffusion parabolic partial...
