Mechanism Design for Optimal Contest

In this thesis report, we delve into a contest game within game theory, where agents’ risk-taking capacity, rather than effort, becomes the pivotal variable. High-quality performance in the game is associated with a higher probability of leading to superior scores through the use of risky strategies. The application of this con test game to...

Mismatched Architecture: A Bressoux Solution

Mismatched architecture is defined as architecture whose current situations don’t match their original settings during transformation. This mismatch manifests itself as a mismatch in form, function, and context, among others. Mismatched architecture is a self-adapting process of architecture and society, it gives us an insight into the...

Simulating Human Motor Learning: An Old Solution in New Environments

Feedback error learning (FEL) is a classical computational model that describes human motor learning. It consists of forward and inverse models representing internal dynamics and environmental disturbances. Such models can be used as controllers that represent the function of the motor cortex. On top of FEL, a model has been built with jointly...

Weaving our energyscapes: Using hydrogen to store renewable energy in a network composed of existing threads

This project aims to address the challenges posed by the transition to renewable energy sources. This will cause an unstable and unreliable energy flow, which does not correspond with the current energy use patterns of society. Different elements of the current energy network are analysed. They have a big role in the transition towards a...

Digitalization of Retailing with Machine Learning: A Service-Product Design for Digital Merchandisers to Implement Machine Learning

The thesis addresses the implementation challenges of Machine Learning (ML) for merchandisers in the scenario of digitalization of retailing, and proposes a product-service design as the solution. The digitalization of retailing is defined as an on-going process to integrate Internet-connected digital technologies into interfaces between...
