Software cost estimation (SCE) of a project is pivotal to the acceptance or rejection of the development of software project. Various SCE techniques have been in practice with their own strengths and limitations. The latest of these is…

Recently, deep neural networks have expanded the state-of-art in various scientific fields and provided solutions to long standing problems across multiple application domains. Nevertheless, they also suffer from weaknesses since their…

Joint channel estimation and signal detection (JCESD) is crucial in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, but traditional algorithms perform poorly in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) scenarios. Deep learning (DL)…

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) serve various applications with diverse performance and resource requirements. Model-aware CNN accelerators best address these diverse requirements. These accelerators usually combine multiple dedicated…

In this paper, we propose improvements in how estimation bias, e.g., the tendency towards under-estimating the effort, is measured. The proposed approach emphasizes the need to know what the estimates are meant to represent, i.e., the type…

Neural language models do not scale well when the vocabulary is large. Noise-contrastive estimation (NCE) is a sampling-based method that allows for fast learning with large vocabularies. Although NCE has shown promising performance in…

Neural SDEs combine many of the best qualities of both RNNs and SDEs: memory efficient training, high-capacity function approximation, and strong priors on model space. This makes them a natural choice for modelling many types of temporal…

Bayesian neural Networks (BNNs) are a promising method of obtaining statistical uncertainties for neural network predictions but with a higher computational overhead which can limit their practical usage. This work explores the use of high…
