Laczny, C.C. (author), Sternal, T. (author), Plugaru, V. (author), Gawron, P. (author), Atashpendar, A. (author), Margossian, H.H. (author), Coronado, S. (author), Van der Maaten, L.J.M. (author), Vlassis, N. (author), Wilmes, P. (author)Background: Metagenomics is limited in its ability to link distinct microbial populations to genetic potential due to a current lack of representative isolate genome sequences. Reference-independent approaches, which exploit for example inherent genomic signatures for the clustering of metagenomic fragments (binning), offer the prospect to...journal article 2015

Landgrebe, T.C.W. (author), Duin, R.P.W. (author)Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analysis has become a standard tool in the design and evaluation of two-class classification problems. It allows for an analysis that incorporates all possible priors, costs, and operating points, which is important in many real problems, where conditions are often nonideal. Extending this to the multiclass...journal article 2008

Baarslag, T. (author), Hendrikx, M.J.C. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author)A negotiation between agents is typically an incomplete information game, where the agents initially do not know their opponent’s preferences or strategy. This poses a challenge, as efficient and effective negotiation requires the bidding agent to take the other’s wishes and future behavior into account when deciding on a proposal. Therefore, in...journal article 2015

Kim, J. (author), Jonoski, Andreja (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author)Cyanobacterial blooms appear by complex causes such as water quality, climate, and hydrological factors. This study aims to present the machine learning models to predict occurrences of these complicated cyanobacterial blooms efficiently and effectively. The dataset was classified into groups consisting of two, three, or four classes based on...journal article 2022

Overwater, R.W.J. (author), Babaie, M. (author), Sebastiano, F. (author)Quantum error correction (QEC) is required in quantum computers to mitigate the effect of errors on physical qubits. When adopting a QEC scheme based on surface codes, error decoding is the most computationally expensive task in the classical electronic back-end. Decoders employing neural networks (NN) are well-suited for this task but their...journal article 2022

El-Taliawi, Ola G. (author), Goyal, N. (author), Howlett, Michael (author)While the emergence of big data raises concerns regarding governance and public policy, it also creates opportunities for diversifying the toolkit for analysis for the policy sciences as a whole, i.e., research concerning policy analysis as well as policy studies. Further, it opens avenues for practice, which together with research requires...journal article 2021

The Stumblemeter: Design and Validation of a System That Detects and Classifies Stumbles during Gaitden Hartog, D.D.G. (author), Harlaar, J. (author), Smit, G. (author)Stumbling during gait is commonly encountered in patients who suffer from mild to serious walking problems, e.g., after stroke, in osteoarthritis, or amputees using a lower leg prosthesis. Instead of self-reporting, an objective assessment of the number of stumbles in daily life would inform clinicians more accurately and enable the evaluation...journal article 2021

Goyal, N. (author), Howlett, Michael (author)Although understanding initial responses to a crisis such as COVID-19 is important, existing research on the topic has not been systematically comparative. This study uses topic modeling to inductively analyze over 13,000 COVID-19 policies worldwide. This technique enables the COVID-19 policy mixes to be characterized and their cross-country...journal article 2021

Bij de Vaate, I. (author), Martin, Ericka (author), Slobbe, D.C. (author), Naeije, M.C. (author), Verlaan, M. (author)In the Arctic Ocean, obtaining water levels from satellite altimetry is hampered by the presence of sea ice. Hence, water level retrieval requires accurate detection of fractures in the sea ice (leads). This paper describes a thorough assessment of various surface type classification methods, including a thresholding method, nine supervised-,...journal article 2022

Nicoletti, L.A. (author), Sirenko, M. (author), Verma, T. (author)Disparity in spatial accessibility is strongly associated with growing inequalities among urban communities. Since improving levels of accessibility for certain communities can provide them with upward social mobility and address social exclusion and inequalities in cities, it is important to understand the nature and distribution of spatial...journal article 2022

Richardson, Benjamin A. (author), Vardar, Y. (author), Wallraven, Christian (author), Kuchenbecker, Katherine J. (author)Whenever we touch a surface with our fingers, we perceive distinct tactile properties that are based on the underlying dynamics of the interaction. However, little is known about how the brain aggregates the sensory information from these dynamics to form abstract representations of textures. Earlier studies in surface perception all used...journal article 2022

Kwakkel, J.H. (author)Even though real options analysis (ROA) is often thought as the best tool available for evaluating flexible strategies, there are profound problems with the assumptions underpinning ROA rendering it unsuitable for use in supporting planning and decision-making on climate adaptation. In the face of dynamic and deep uncertainty about the future...journal article 2020

Roy, E.I. (author), Pronk, Maarten (author), Agugiaro, G. (author), Ledoux, H. (author)Data on the number of floors is required for several applications, for instance, energy demand estimation, population estimation, and flood response plans. Despite this, open data on the number of floors is very rare, even when a 3D city model is available. In practice, it is most often inferred with a geometric method: elevation data is used...journal article 2022

(author), Rahimi, Mohammad (author), Elkamel, Ali (author)Porous carbons as solid adsorbent materials possess effective porosity characteristics that are the most important factors for gas storage. The chemical activating routes facilitate hydrogen storage by adsorbing on the high surface area and microporous features of porous carbon-based adsorbents. The present research proposed to predict H<sub...journal article 2023

Nakayama, Shotaro (author), Blacquière, G. (author)Acquisition of incomplete data, i.e., blended, sparsely sampled, and narrowband data, allows for cost-effective and efficient field seismic operations. This strategy becomes technically acceptable, provided that a satisfactory recovery of the complete data, i.e., deblended, well-sampled, and broadband data, is attainable. Hence, we explore a...journal article 2021

Zoutendijk, M. (author), Mitici, M.A. (author)The problem of flight delay prediction is approached most often by predicting a delay class or value. However, the aviation industry can benefit greatly from probabilistic delay predictions on an individual flight basis, as these give insight into the uncertainty of the delay predictions. Therefore, in this study, two probabilistic forecasting...journal article 2021

Lavrinenko, A.K. (author), Chernyshov, I. (author), Pidko, E.A. (author)Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) represent an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional organic solvents. Their liquid range determines the areas of application, and therefore, the prediction of solid-liquid equilibrium (SLE) diagrams is essential for developing new DESs. Such predictions are not yet possible by using the current...journal article 2023
