Knightec: Master or Bachelor thesis on Machine Learning Innovation starts with daring to think outside the box. At Knightec, we develop ideas for world-class projects every day. Are you about to finish your studies and looking for a Masters project? Knightec offers you the possibility to write your thesis in several different areas for real world applications. Currently we are investigating the following areas: - Software optimization for dynamic face recognition - Platform for autonomous vehicle testing You can even create your own project within these fields or suggest your own topic.

Volvo Group Trucks Technology: Model validation for autonomous trucks using extreme value theory One of the most challenging issues for automated vehicles is: how can it be ensured that the decisions taken by the automated vehicle are safe? Safe decisions require accurate predictions of the future behavior of the automated vehicle. Mathematical models are typically employed to ensure this, and the quality of those models is what enables an assessment of whether a decision is safe. Data-driven model validation is an important topic in systems engineering. Most methods rely on statistical modelling of residuals, the part of the data that could not be explained by the model, in order to infer the quality of the model. The aim of this thesis is to perform extreme value analysis on the model residuals to predict the likelihood of seeing extreme model errors, and hence to contribute to making automated vehicles safer
