Wang, Z. (author), Meijer, A. (author), Itard, L.C.M. (author)In practice, automated energy performance fault diagnosis systems are seldom installed in HVAC systems. The main reason is that a specific Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) setup is time-consuming and expensive because the existing methods are component-specific, not aligned with HVAC design practices, and not fully automated. 4S3F (four...conference paper 2022

Schildkamp, R.R.M. (author), Wang, Xuerui (author), Chang, J. (author), De Breuker, R. (author), Sodja, J. (author)This paper presents the development and initial characterization of an active, para- metric wing section with aileron and spoiler control surfaces. This wing section is intended to replace the currently used passive wing section setup and facilitate research in active con- trol techniques of aeroelastic phenomena such as flutter, gust load...conference paper 2022

Schildkamp, R.R.M. (author), Chang, J. (author), Sodja, J. (author), De Breuker, R. (author), Wang, Xuerui (author)This paper proposes an incremental nonlinear control method for aeroelastic sys- tem gust load alleviation and active flutter suppression. These two control objectives can be achieved without modifying the control architecture or the control parameters. The proposed method has guaranteed stability in the Lyapunov sense and also has robustness...conference paper 2022

Wang, Z. (author), Pel, A.J. (author), Verma, T. (author), Krishnakumari, P.K. (author), van Brakel, Peter (author), van Oort, N. (author)Predictions on public transport ridership are beneficial as they allow for sufficient and cost-efficient deployment of vehicles. At an operational level, this relates to short-term predictions with lead times of less than an hour. Where conventional data sources on ridership, such as Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) data, may have longer lag...conference paper 2022

Zhu, P. (author), Wang, Z. (author), Yang, J. (author), Hauff, C. (author), Anand, A. (author)Quality control is essential for creating extractive question answering (EQA) datasets via crowdsourcing. Aggregation across answers, i.e. word spans within passages annotated, by different crowd workers is one major focus for ensuring its quality. However, crowd workers cannot reach a consensus on a considerable portion of questions. We...conference paper 2022

Wang, Yumeng (author), Lyu, Lijun (author), Anand, A. (author)Contextual ranking models based on BERT are now well established for a wide range of passage and document ranking tasks. However, the robustness of BERT-based ranking models under adversarial inputs is under-explored. In this paper, we argue that BERT-rankers are not immune to adversarial attacks targeting retrieved documents given a query....conference paper 2022

Wang, Zhen (author), Shan, X. (author), Zhang, Xiangxie (author), Yang, J. (author)Current news datasets merely focus on text features on the news and rarely leverage the feature of images, excluding numerous essential features for news classification. In this paper, we propose a new dataset, N24News, which is generated from New York Times with 24 categories and contains both text and image information in each news. We use...conference paper 2022

Wang, X. (author), Benedictus, R. (author), Groves, R.M. (author)The plasmon resonance spectral peak of a gold spherical nanoparticle (NP) will shift when the NP shape is changed from sphere to spheroid. This may be used as a novel strain detection method with gold NPs embedded in a medium of different refractive index (RI). Applying a strain to the external medium will cause a change in the shape of the...conference paper 2022

Kapoor, T. (author), Wang, H. (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author)This paper addresses the problem of determining the distribution of the return current in electric railway traction systems. The dynamics of traction return current are simulated in all three space dimensions by informing the neural networks with the Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) known as telegraph equations. In addition, this work...conference paper 2022

Liang, Y. (author), Wang, L. (author), Qin, Z. (author), Bauer, P. (author)In emerging fast-charging stations, DC fast chargers (DCFCs) are employed which rely on power electronics and control to achieve the required performance. Harmonic emission induced by the complex system behavior is of great concern in the DCFC system. This paper proposes a harmonic emission model for the typical electric vehicle charger...conference paper 2022

Liang, Yansong (author), Wang, Ruizhi (author), Chen, Zhongsheng (author), Du, S. (author)This paper presents a boost converter for thermo-electric energy harvesting with photovoltaic (PV)-assisted startup. The converter employs a new two-phase startup architecture and the PV cell is used in the first phase to provide an initial high voltage for startup. This high voltage drives the boost converter to charge a startup capacitor,...conference paper 2022
