Empirical Evaluation of the Performance of CEVAE under Misspecification of the Latent Dimensionality

Causal machine learning deals with the inference of causal relationships between variables in observational datasets. <br/>For certain datasets, it is correct to assume a causal graph where information about unobserved confounders can only be obtained through noisy proxies, and CEVAE aims to address this case. <br/>The number of dimensions of...

Comment on “Most computational hydrology is not reproducible, so is it really science?” by Christopher Hutton et al.: Let hydrologists learn the latest computer science by working with Research Software Engineers (RSEs) and not reinvent the waterwheel ourselves

The suggestions by Hutton et al. might not be enough to guarantee reproducible computational hydrology. Archiving software code and research data alone will not be enough. We add to the suggestion of Hutton et al. that hydrologists not only document their (computer) work, but that hydrologists use the latest best practices in designing...

Robust scheduling in an uncertain environment

This thesis presents research on scheduling in an uncertain environment, which forms a part of the rolling stock life cycle logistics applied research and development program funded by Dutch railway industry companies. The focus therefore lies on scheduling of maintenance operations on rolling stock in the railway industry. The first chapter...

Algorithms for Simple Temporal Reasoning

This dissertation describes research into new methods for automated temporal reasoning. For this purpose, several frameworks are available in literature. Chapter 1 presents a concise literature survey that provides a new overview of their interrelation. In the remainder of the dissertation, the focus is on quantitative frameworks, i.e. temporal...

Software Language Evolution

Software plays a critical role in our daily life. Vast amounts of money are spent on more and more complex systems. All software, regardless if it controls a plane or the game on your phone is never finished. Software changes when it contains bugs or when new functionality is added. This process of change is called software eovlution. Despite...

Final report for the Schoolyard project, written in Dutch. Schoolyard was a project to develop a mobile, location based serious game for children in elementary school. This project was commissioned by TNO.

Toepassing van CQRS in combinatie met NoSQL

In dit onderzoek hebben we de voor- en nadelen van het gebruik van NoSQL databases en het Command Query Responsibility Segregation(CQRS) met Event Sourcing(ES) pattern onderzocht. In het onderzoek dat ingaat op de verschillende NoSQL databases zijn een groot aantal databases geselecteerd voor nader onderzoek. De vergelijking is gemaakt op basis...

Extending Enterprise Ontology to the Information Layer of the Rijkswaterstaat Enterprise Architecture

Nowadays large organizations are confronted with the increasing complex network of processes, information flows and stakeholders which all should be managed to provide the customer with end products and services. In a utopia, every actor in an organization would be able to have an overview of his area of concern. Management would have a precise...

Introduction to Planning in Multiagent Systems

In most multiagent systems planning on forehand can help to seriously improve the efficiency of executing actions. The main difference between centrally creating a plan and constructing a plan for a system of agents lies in the fact that in the latter coordination plays the main part. This introduces a number of additional difficulties. This...
