Example projects offered by PhD students in the group

In addition to the above general project categories (for which we suggest contacting the above contact persons), our PhD candidates have created some MSc-thesis projects for vt-2024 that may be of interest. First, three deep-learning oriented thesis (contact via Niklas Carlsson):

• Artistic Integrity in the AI Era (supervisor: Minh-ha Le)
• AI-driven Tool for Streamlining the Composition of Academic Papers (supervisor: Minh-ha Le)
• Action classification from audio in sports videos (supervisor: Karol Wojtulewicz)

Then two more data-driven or experimental projects (contact via Niklas Carlsson):
