Feature construction techniques in time-series analysis and single-objective optimization

Author(s): Gašper Petelin (Author), Gregor Papa (Supervisor)

Year: 2025

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Feature construction, encompassing both feature engineering, which involves the manual design of features by domain experts, and representation learning, which refers to the automated discovery of useful data representations during model construction, is a fundamental aspect of machine learning. Its goal is to transform raw data into a more suitable …

Synthesis and investigation of organofluorosilicate and organofluorogermanate species

Author(s): Jan Gnidovec (Author), Gašper Tavčar (Supervisor)

Year: 2025

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Fluorine, though abundant on Earth, is not readily available in a form suitable for organic synthesis. While fluoride salts like fluorite exist, they have limited reactivity due to solubility properties. Converting fluorite to hydrofluoric acid (HF) or fluorine gas (F2) increases reactivity but introduces significant safety concerns due to the …

Low-pressure gaseous plasma for inactivation of viruses in water

Author(s): Mark Zver (Author), Gregor Primc (Supervisor), David Dobnik (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2025

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Water scarcity is becoming a greater issue worldwide due to ever-increasing anthropogenic activity. A dedicated effort is required to recover and maintain the purity of our water resources and has created an environment for developing better technologies to tackle this issue. Low-pressure gaseous plasma, consisting of a complex mixture of …

Terminology extraction and alignment for the translation industry

Author(s): Andraž Repar (Author), Senja Pollak (Supervisor)

Year: 2025

Type: Doctoral dissertation

This PhD dissertation focuses on improving terminology extraction and alignment for applications in the translation industry. It explores three key use cases where these techniques benefit language professionals: creating client-specific terminology lists from large parallel corpora (i.e. translation memories), building domain-specific terminology resources from comparable corpora, and identifying important domain-specific …

Representing and exploiting benchmarking data for optimisation and learning

Author(s): Ana Kostovska (Author), Panče Panov (Supervisor), Sašo Džeroski (Co-Supervisor), Tome Eftimov (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2025

Type: Doctoral dissertation

The rapid advancements in Machine Learning (ML) and Black-Box Optimization (BBO) have led to an increased reliance on benchmarking data for evaluating and comparing algorithms across diverse domain tasks. However, the effective exploitation of this data is hindered by challenges such as syntactic variability, semantic ambiguity, and lack of standardization. …

Identification of hearth sounds for the analysis of cardiac pathology using machine learning

Author(s): David Susič (Author), Anton Gradišek (Supervisor), Matjaž Gams (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2024

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of mortality globally, significantly affecting patient quality of life and imposing considerable demands on healthcare systems. Chronic heart failure (CHF), a common outcome of CVDs, represents a growing health burden with an increasing incidence. Accurate and early identification of CVDs is critical for …

Diagnosis and prognosis of solid oxide cell systems: a statistical approach

Author(s): Luka Žnidarič (Author), Đani Juričić (Supervisor)

Year: 2024

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Hydrogen is a promising energy carrier in the emerging green energy landscape. It is environmentally friendly, transportable, and storable. The Solid Oxide Cell (SOC) system is a complex technology that enables the bidirectional conversion of hydrogen to energy. The label SOC entails solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems, which produce …

Neural approaches to automatic terminology extraction

Author(s): Hanh Thi Hong Tran (Author), Senja Pollak (Supervisor), Antoine Doucet (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2024

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Automatic terminology extraction, also known as automatic term extraction (ATE), is a natural language processing (NLP) task that identifies specialized terminology from domain-specific corpora. ATE is often used for terminographic tasks (e.g., the creation of specialized dictionaries) and contributes to several complex downstream tasks (e.g., machine translation and information retrieval). …

Pre-processing of heterogeneous data streams for internet of things applications

Author(s): Klemen Kenda (Author), Dunja Mladenić (Supervisor)

Year: 2024

Type: Doctoral dissertation

The rapid evolution of sensor technologies, particularly within the Internet of Things (IoT) domain, has led to an era dominated by massive real-time data flows. This transition resulted in the need for novel data processing methodologies that facilitate the shift from traditional offline batch analytics to agile real-time predictions and …

Meshless adaptive solution procedure for efficient solving of partial differential equations

Author(s): Mitja Jančič (Author), Gregor Kosec (Supervisor)

Year: 2024

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Meshless methods are becoming increasingly popular in computational mechanics and engineering. Their main feature is the ability to manage complex geometries while avoiding the often tedious process of mesh generation required by the traditional methods. Various meshless approximations of linear differential operators appearing in the governing problem have been proposed …
