This article concerns the picture of Polhem through the ages, what has been written concerning him, and about the still surprisingly modest research on him. First gives a short introduction to Polhem. His own life story, put forward by himself, has had an immense influence on the following

SignificanceThe spatial distribution of the photosensitizing drug concentration is an important parameter for predicting the photodynamic therapy (PDT) outcome. Current diffuse fluorescence tomography methods lack accuracy in quantifying drug concentration. The development of accurate methods for monitoring the temporal evolution of the drug distribution in tissue can advance the real-time light d

In this dissertation I examine the main scaling challenges in autonomous driving development, discussing recent advances in the field while contributing specific solutions to key bottlenecks. The first challenge is the reliance on human labor, particularly for annotations. Here we make two key contributions: new techniques to extract additional value from existing annotations through future predic
