Thesis advisor review of a bachelor thesis

Traditionally, the text recognition problem is solved using convolutional neural networks (CNN) only. However, the text is naturally a sequence of characters and sequences are usually well processed by recurrent neural networks (RNN). The thesis takes as its starting point one very recent approach, CRNN [1], which combines the power of both CNN and RNN architectures. This combination makes the ...

From a to Z: Asymptotic Expansions by Van Zwet

Refinements of first order asymptotic results axe reviewed, with a number of Ph.D. projects supervised by van Zwet serving as stepping stones. Berry-Esseen bounds and Edgeworth expansions are discussed for R-, Land [/-statistics. After these special classes, the question about a general second order theory for asymptotically normal statistics is addressed. As a final topic, empirical Edgeworth ...

Memorandum No . 1485 From A to Z : Asymptotic expansions by van Zwet

Refinements of first order asymptotic results are reviewed, with a number of Ph.D. projects supervised by van Zwet serving as stepping stones. Berry-Esseen bounds and Edgeworth expansions are discussed for R-, Land U-statistics. After these special classes, the question about a general second order theory for asymptotically normal statistics is addressed. As a final topic, empirical Edgeworth e...
