van Hooff, Bradley (author)Within this report, an analytical research will be performed on the effectivity of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) and Viscoelastic Dampers (VEDs), and a conclusion will be drawn as to which is most effective in damping the oscillations of an earthquake. First of all, a simple model of second-order differential equations describing the oscillations of...bachelor thesis 2023

Găleşanu, Matei (author)Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) and their adaptations are known to be computationally intensive during both the training and the evaluating stages. Despite being the end goal, directly rendering a full-resolution representation of the scene is not necessary and not very practical for scenarios like streamed applications. Our goal is to design a...bachelor thesis 2023

Toader, Mihnea (author)Neural radiance fields (NeRF) based solutions for novel view synthesis can achieve state of the art results. Recent work proposes models that take less time to render, need less training data or take up less space. However, few papers explore the use of NeRFs in classic rendering scenarios such as rasterization, which could contribute to wider...bachelor thesis 2023

van Barneveld, Lisa (author)One of the first systems developed to provide online security is what is now known as RSA encryption. This method has been first published by Rivest, Shamir and Adleman in 1978. Even on this day, a modification of the first method of RSA encryption is being used and considered safe. This paper explores a number of mathematical structures and...bachelor thesis 2023

Groenendijk, Jurre (author)With the current state-of-the-art research, exporting a NeRF to a mesh has the side effect of having to evaluate a Multi Layer Perceptron at render-time, causing a significant decrease in performance. We have found a way to use K-Means clustering to pre-compute values for this MLP, storing them in multiple octahedron maps for the GPU to fetch...bachelor thesis 2023

Szilvásy, Medárd (author)Radiance fields are a promising alternative to conventional 3D representations in the domain of novel view synthesis, with recent research achieving truly impressive photorealistic view synthesis results. In this paper, we deal with the concept of non-photorealistic rendering in the context of radiance fields, for generating more stylistic...bachelor thesis 2023

de Jong, Jochem (author)Every day an extremely large amount of messages get sent over the internet, radio, WiFi, etc. These messages need to be encoded in order to protect the important data. However just like many of these systems messages can get corrupted over a certain channel due to noise, fluctuations in power or temperature etc. [2] Therefore cyclic redundancy...bachelor thesis 2023

van der Werff, Kevin (author)With the prevalence of artificial intelligence recently, more attention is being drawn towards the collaboration between humans and agents. Across the many fields where such an agent can be employed, we are going to specifically examine the domain of negotiation. A critical part to ensure success in this human-agent collaboration is to establish...bachelor thesis 2023

Tudor, Iarina (author)This paper provides a novel method of solving the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) with logical constraints (RCPSP-log) using satisfiability (SAT) solving and integrating variable selection heuristics. The extension provides two additional precedences: OR constraints and bidirectional (BI) relations, making it possible to...bachelor thesis 2023

Lenssen, Tijs (author)The Variable State Independent Decaying Sum (VSIDS) heuristic is one of the most effective variable selection heuristics for Conflict-Driven Clause-Learning (CDCL) SAT solvers. It works by keeping track of the activity values for each variable, which get bumped and decayed based on conflict analysis. These activity values usually start out...bachelor thesis 2023

Hellouin de Ménibus, George (author)This paper presents a new greedy heuristic to extend SAT Solvers when solving the Preemptive resource-constrained project scheduling problem (PRCPSP-ST). The heuristic uses domain-specific knowledge to generate a fixed order of variable selection. We also extend previous work into encoding PRCPSP-ST by providing an alternative upper bound. The...bachelor thesis 2023

Pugatšov, Artjom (author)This paper solves job sequencing with one common and multiple secondary resources (JSOCMSR) problem by encoding it as a Boolean satisfiability (SAT) problem and applying domain-specific heuristics to improve the SAT solver’s performance. JSOCMSR problem is an NP-hard scheduling problem where each job utilizes two resources: a shared resource and...bachelor thesis 2023

Germanov, Pavel (author)Trust in negotiation agents plays a crucial role in their adoption and utilization. However, there is not enough research on what factors influence it. This paper aims to investigate how different explanations of a negotiation agent’s strategy affect human trust and decision-making. Specifically, it compares the effects of a truthful explanation...bachelor thesis 2023

Timmerman, Kirsten (author)When making decisions, people are automatically guided by their moral compass. However, AI agents need to be conditioned in order to be steered towards moral behaviour. An environment that can be used to train and test agents is the Jiminy Cricket environment. The Jiminy Cricket environment consists of a set of text-based narrative games, where...bachelor thesis 2023

Luu, justin (author)This research experiment aimed to investigate the level of trust placed in an AI negotiation assistant paired with a truthful explanation of their negotiation strategy versus an opposite explanation within the Pocket Negotiator platform. A between-user study involving 30 participants was conducted to assess participants’ trust perceptions based...bachelor thesis 2023

Hasdemir, Deniz Tan (author)Negotiations have an essential role in our lives as they help us to find mutually beneficial solutions and resolve conflicts. It leads to effective communication and collaboration between the involved parties. Negotiation among parties has high importance to have an outcome that is suitable for all. In such scenarios, negotiation agents can be...bachelor thesis 2023

Tsvetkov, Denis (author)The multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) is an extension of the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP), which allows activities to be executed in multiple modes. The state-of-the-art solutions for solving this NP-Hard problem are dedicated algorithms and (meta-)heuristics. However, this paper...bachelor thesis 2023

Penchev, Kostadin (author)Negotiation is a challenging process for people, which often results in suboptimal agreements between the negotiating parties. This issue leads to lost benefits that one of the negotiating parties could have obtained. To counteract this drawback artificially intelligent negotiation agents are developed. Their goal is to help negotiating parties...bachelor thesis 2023
