Reijne, M.M. (author), Bregman, D.J.J. (author), Schwab, A.L. (author)Descend technique and performance vary among elite racing cyclists and it is not clear what slower riders should do to improve their performance. An observation study was performed of the descending technique of members of a World Tour cycling team and the technique of each member was compared with the fastest descender amongst them. The...conference paper 2018

Scharenborg, O.E. (author), Ebel, Patrick (author), Ciannella, Francesco (author), Hasegawa-Johnson, Mark (author), Dehak, Najim (author)For many languages in the world, not enough (annotated) speech data is available to train an ASR system. Recently, we proposed a cross-language method for training an ASR system using linguistic knowledge and semi-supervised training. Here, we apply this approach to the low-resource language Mboshi. Using an ASR system trained on Dutch, Mboshi...conference paper 2018

Zhou, K. (author), Gorte, B.G.H. (author)In VHR(very high resolution) aerial images, shadows indicating height information are valuable for validating or detecting changes on an existing 3D city model. In the paper, we propose a novel and full automatic approach for shadow detection from VHR images. Instead of automatic thresholding, the supervised machine learning approach is...conference paper 2017

Roy, S. (author), Hermans, F.F.J. (author), van Deursen, A. (author)Despite being popular end-user tools, spreadsheets suffer from the vulnerability of error-proneness. In software engineering, testing has been proposed as a way to address errors. It is important therefore to know whether spreadsheet users also test, or how do they test and to what extent, especially since most spreadsheet users do not have...conference paper 2017

Passenier, D (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Rankin, A (author), Sharpanskykh, Alexei (author)Training methods for operators working under high pressure and in dynamic, unpredictable settings could benefit from a focus on resilience. In such settings, formal training often focuses on procedural conformity to train for particular scenarios, but resilient performance taps into a wider experience base and often more tacit skills. In this...conference paper 2017

(author), Smit, Thijs (author)Rail is a cost-effective and environment friendly freight transport modality when used efficiently. Stakeholders around Dutch ports are discouraged to choose rail due to uncertain train schedules and the dispersed nature of freight flows across terminals in the port. To understand the challenges and opportunities of freight transport using rail,...conference paper 2017

Zjajo, Amir (author), van Leuken, T.G.R.M. (author)Robust, power- and area-efficient spike classifier, capable of accurate identification of the neural spikes even for low SNR, is a prerequisite for the real-time, implantable, closed-loop brain-machine interface. In this paper, we propose an easily-scalable, 128-channel, programmable, neural spike classifier based on nonlinear energy operator...conference paper 2016

de Bruin, T.D. (author), Kober, J. (author), Tuyls, K.P. (author), Babuska, R. (author)Recent years have seen a growing interest in the use of deep neural networks as function approximators in reinforcement learning. In this paper, an experience replay method is proposed that ensures that the distribution of the experiences used for training is between that of the policy and a uniform distribution. Through experiments on a...conference paper 2016

Faghih Roohi, S. (author), Hajizadeh, S. (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author), Babuska, R. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)In this paper, we propose a deep convolutional neural network solution to the analysis of image data for the detection of rail surface defects. The images are obtained from many hours of automated video recordings. This huge amount of data makes it impossible to manually inspect the images and detect rail surface defects. Therefore, automated...conference paper 2016

Lousberg, L.H.M.J. (author), Heintz, J.L. (author), Prins, M. (author)Problems that present project managers have to deal with are more and more concerning complexity, i.e. unexpected, uncertain, unstable or unique situations. This seems also the case with sustainable building projects. It is therefore necessary that project managers are trained to deal with these problems, especially by learning from their...conference paper 2015

In order to train (coastal engineering) students in this matter, Unesco-IHE and TU Delft have in their curriculum an Integrated Coastal Zone...conference paper 2015

Scheepmaker, G.M. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)An important topic to reduce the energy consumption in railways is the use of energy-efficient train control (EETC). Modern trains allow regen-erative braking where the released kinetic energy can be reused. This regener-ative braking has an effect on the optimal driving regimes compared to trains which can only use mechanical braking. This...conference paper 2015

Van Goeverden, C.D. (author), Van Nes, R. (author), Van Arem, B. (author)International train services generally have lower qualities and are less stable in time then domestic train services. The paper shows that this is also valid for cross-border services within the Benelux compared to domestic services in the Netherlands. The cross-border services have significantly lower qualities with respect to speed, detours,...conference paper 2015

Goverde, R.M.P. (author), Scheepmaker, G.M. (author)Energy-efficient train operation is not yet included in the timetable design process in the Netherlands. Hence, running time supplements are not optimally distributed in the timetable. Therefore research has been conducted on the possibilities to better incorporate energy-efficient train operation into the railway timetable. This paper describes...conference paper 2015
