1. Reinforcement learning relocation assignment in the multiple-deep storage systemJakob Marolt, Bojan Rosi, Tone Lerher, 2022, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Opis: The field of reinforcement learning shows promising results in recent publications for solving complex combinatorial problems. In this paper, an agent is trained to tackle the relocation problem that appears in various logistics systems. The relocation problem was formulated as an array that is accessible only from the top side. The agent has to relocate blocking SKUs and thus enable access to the SKU with the highest dispatch priority. We utilised the Deep Q-learning Network (DQN) to train the agent. Two case studies are presented – one with 1.2 ∙ 10 and another with 2 ∙ 10 possible states. The results display that the agents made a significantly better decision toward the learning process’s end than at the beginning Ključne besede: relocation problem, reinforcement learning, DQN, multiple-deep, storage system Objavljeno v DKUM: 14.03.2023; Ogledov: 61; Prenosov: 3

4. Construction of deep neutral networks using swarm intelligence to detect anomalies : master's thesisSašo Pavlič, 2021, magistrsko delo Opis: The design of neural network architecture is becoming more difficult as the complexity of the problems we tackle using machine learning increases. Many variables influence the performance of a neural model, and those variables are often limited by the researcher's prior knowledge and experience. In our master's thesis, we will focus on becoming familiar with evolutionary neural network design, anomaly detection techniques, and a deeper knowledge of autoencoders and their potential for application in unsupervised learning. Our practical objective will be to build a neural architecture search based on swarm intelligence, and construct an autoencoder architecture for anomaly detection in the MNIST dataset.

6. Implementation of a new reporting process in a group xSara Črešnik, 2021, magistrsko delo Opis: Reporting is present in every company. Whether it is small or big, it cannot be avoided. It plays a crucial role in the process and progress of business. The quality of reporting affects the development of the work environment and the company. Since business report is a document that contains business information, which supports the decisions about the future-oriented business decisions, it is very important for it to be designed in such a way that it contains the key information for the recipient and provides support for business decisions. The reporting process can take place horizontally upwards or downwards. Content and structure vary depending on the recipient of the report. We live in an age when our every step is accompanied by digitization, computerization, artificial intelligence, mass data, the Internet of Things, machine learning, and robotics. These changes have also affected the reporting process as well as its processes. The processes of data acquisition, processing and sharing have changed. Furthermore, the data quantity has increased, whereas the speed of the time in which to prepare the reports has decreased. We can have data without information, but we cannot have information without data. There is never enough time, especially nowadays when we are used to having everything at our fingertips. These are two conflicting factors – having more data and less time to prepare quality reports. The systems are developed to optimize the process, increase efficiency and quality and, what is nowadays most important, they have been created to obtain mass data in the shortest possible time. Therefore, it is important to adapt and implement software that can help achieve our daily tasks. We must know how to process huge amounts of real-time data and deliver the information they contain. It is crucial for companies to keep up with the environment and implement changes and innovations into their business process. A company is like a living organism for it must constantly evolve and grow. As soon as it stops growing and evolving, it can fail because it starts lagging and is therefore no longer competitive to others. To deliver faster feedback, companies need data of better quality. There are tools that can improve the business process, better facilitating the capacity of the human agents. The goal is to harness the employees’ full potential and knowledge for important tasks, such as analyzing, reviewing, and understanding data and acting upon them, invoking information technology to automate repetitive processes and facilitate better communication.
The focus in this master’s thesis is on the reporting process in Group X. Group X is one of the world leaders in the automotive industry, a multinational corporation based in Canada with subsidiaries around the world. The complexity of the business reporting that is implemented for the Headquarters in Canada has to address the complexity of the multinational corporation to support the decision process.
The aim of the thesis is to propose a reporting process for preparing and producing reports with a huge amount of data in a very time-efficient manner. We start by examining the existing processes and upon that, identifying the processes required for the reports to reach the final recipients. Our goal is to identify the toolset, which would increase efficiency, accuracy, credibility, and reduce errors in the fastest possible time. We investigate a short-term and a long-term solution. By a short-term solution, we mean a system, program, or a tool that can help us increase our potential by using digital resources, which are already existing in the organization. By a long-term solution, we mean a solution, which requires employment of specialized future tools in the field of reporting and in repetitive processes, which we can identify with current knowledge and expectations for development. This includes machine learning, robotic process automatization, artificial intelligence.

8. Energy efficient system for detection of elephants with Machine Learning : master's thesisMarko Sagadin, 2020, magistrsko delo Opis: Human-Elephant Conflicts are a major problem in terms of elephant conservation.
According to WILDLABS, an average of 400 people and 100 elephants are killed every year in India alone because of them.
Early warning systems replace the role of human watchers and warn local communities of nearby, potentially life threatening, elephants, thus minimising the Human-Elephant Conflicts.
In this Master's thesis we present the structure of an early warning system, which consists of several low-power embedded systems equipped with thermal cameras and a single gateway.
To detect elephants from captured thermal images we used Machine Learning methods, specifically Convolutional Neural Networks.
The main focus of this thesis was the design, implementation and evaluation of Machine Learning models running on microcontrollers under low-power conditions.
We designed and trained several accurate image classification models, optimised them for on-device deployment and compared them against models trained with commercial software in terms of accuracy, inference speed and size.
While writing firmware, we ported a part of the TensorFlow library and created our own build system, suitable for the libopencm3 platform.
We also implemented reporting of inference results over the LoRaWAN network and described a possible server-size solution.
We finally a constructed fully functional embedded system from various development and evaluation boards, and evaluated its performance in terms of power consumption.
We show that embedded systems with Machine Learning capabilities are a viable solution to many real life problems. Ključne besede: machine learning, microcontroller, on-device inference, thermal camera, low-power system Objavljeno v DKUM: 06.01.2021; Ogledov: 823; Prenosov: 133

10. Deep Learning on Low Power Embedded Devices Using RISC-V Cores with an Extended Instruction Set : master's thesisJure Vreča, 2020, magistrsko delo Opis: This thesis explores the possibility of running neural networks on microcontrollers and how
to optimize their performance using instruction set extensions. Microcontrollers are seen as
too weak to run neural networks. We challenge this view and show that stripped-down neural
networks can run and be useful for some applications. We used an open-source microcontroller
called PULPino to run our neural network. The benefit of various instructions and optimizations
for minimizing energy consumption to run deep learning algorithms was evaluated. Hardware
loops, loop unrolling, and the dot-product unit were implemented and tested.
We developed an FPGA-based testing system to evaluate our hardware. We also developed a
deep learning library and a test neural network for our hardware. We wrote two versions of
the deep learning library. One version is the reference code, and the other is the optimized
code that uses the dot product unit. Using the testing system, we tested the performance of
the two versions. The synthesis was run to determine the power and energy consumption. We
also tried out various optimizations to see if the performance could be improved.
Using instruction set extensions and algorithmic optimizations we reduced the clock cycle count by 72% for the convolutional layers and by 78% for fully-connected layers. This reduced
power consumption by 73%. We compare our results with related research. Ključne besede: deep learning, embedded system, instruction set, RISC-V Objavljeno v DKUM: 03.11.2020; Ogledov: 977; Prenosov: 137
