Alaka, Shaad (author), Bidarra, Rafael (author)There are few proposals to improve the interactivity and control of wave function collapse (WFC) in a mixed-initiative setting. Moreover, most WFC algorithm variants operate on an simple, unstructured set of tiles. This limitation on the level of control provided to designers hampers their creative work in various ways. We propose...conference paper 2023

van den Bovenkamp, Nick (author), Giraldo, Juan S. (author), Salazar Duque, Edgar Mauricio (author), Vergara Barrios, P.P. (author), Konstantinou, Charalambos (author), Palensky, P. (author)This paper introduces an energy management system (EMS) aiming to minimize electricity operating costs using reinforcement learning (RL) with a linear function approximation. The proposed EMS uses a Q-learning with tile coding (QLTC) algorithm and is compared to a deterministic mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) with perfect forecast...conference paper 2023

Pan, Tanbo (author), Zheng, Yonglai (author), Zhou, Y. (author), Wu, Zhuorui (author), Zhou, Yujue (author)Externally bonded (EB) carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is widely used in structural strengthening and retrofitting. Premature debonding of the FRP severely limits the efficiency of CFRP utilization. The application of CRRP anchorage system offers a solution to the debonding problem. However, the understanding of damage mode identification...conference paper 2023

Langendam, Thijmen S. L. (author), Bidarra, Rafael (author)Wave Function Collapse (WFC) is a powerful generative algorithm, able to create locally-similar output based on a single example input. One of the inherent limitations of the original WFC is that it often requires users to understand its inner workings, and possibly make their own ad-hoc mods, to achieve satisfactory results. Besides...conference paper 2022

Renting, B.M. (author), Hoos, Holger H. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author)Bargaining can be used to resolve mixed-motive games in multiagent systems. Although there is an abundance of negotiation strategies implemented in automated negotiating agents, most agents are based on single fixed strategies, while it is acknowledged that there is no single best-performing strategy for all negotiation settings. In this...conference paper 2022

Lyu, X. (author), Schulte, F. (author)Berth allocation is fundamental to port-related operations in maritime shipping. Port managers have to deal with the increasing demands either by expanding the terminals or by improving efficiency to maintain competitiveness. Port expansion is a long-term project, and it requires much capital investment. Thus, the question of how to enhance...conference paper 2022

Harrison, J. (author), Alderliesten, T. (author), Bosman, P.A.N. (author)Genetic Programming (GP) can make an important contribution to explainable artificial intelligence because it can create symbolic expressions as machine learning models. Nevertheless, to be explainable, the expressions must not become too large. This may, however, limit their potential to be accurate. The re-use of subexpressions has the...conference paper 2022

Bueno Perez, M.R. (author), Bidarra, Rafael (author)Most storytelling games bring people together to co-create stories. However, they often require considerable creative effort and skills from all players, possibly discouraging less resourceful participants and impairing stories' quality. Moreover, most stories created within these games are usually only kept in players' minds rather than on...conference paper 2022

H R, Surya (author), Raju, Narayana (author), arkatkar, shriniwas (author)There is an increase in the need to understand traffic flow behavior through multiple fronts, especially in developing countries like India, where a high degree of heterogeneity, non-lane-discipline, and non-compliance to traffic rules prevail in the road sections. As a result, it can impact the stability of the traffic stream. Four car...conference paper 2021

Zhang, Y. (author), Jain, V. (author), Palha, A. (author), Gerritsma, M.I. (author)In this paper, we present a hybrid mimetic method which solves the mixed formulation of the Poisson problem on curvilinear quadrilateral meshes. The method is hybrid in the sense that the domain is decomposed into multiple disjoint elements and the interelement continuity is enforced using a Lagrange multiplier. The method is mimetic in the...conference paper 2020
