Lv, Maolong (author), Chen, Zhiyong (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Baldi, S. (author)Prescribed-performance control (PPC) for high-power dynamics with time-varying unknown control coefficients requires to address two open problems: (a) given a Nussbaum function, which properties hold for the power of the Nussbaum function? (b) to avoid high gains, how to design a switching gain that increases only when the tracking error is...journal article 2022

Chen, Y. (author)Chinese cities have experienced rapid urbanisation and attracted massive investment in the central city through urban redevelopment. Developing less favourable urban areas such as former industrial sites along the waterfront is less attractive for investment as these areas usually need to deal with poor environments and complicated land...journal article 2022

Zhang, Y. (author), Zhang, Shizhe (author), Chen, Y. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)In this paper, both synthetic slag and commercial slag covering the common composition range were employed to estimate the correlation between slag chemistry and reactivity through hydraulicity and dissolution tests. It was found that slag reactivity was favorably affected by increasing Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and MgO contents, while the...journal article 2022

Zhu, Yujin (author), Zhao, Z. (author), Birke, Robert (author), Chen, Lydia Y. (author)Tabular data synthesis is an emerging approach to circumvent strict regulations on data privacy while discovering knowledge through big data. Although state-of-the-art AI-based tabular data synthesizers, e.g., table-GAN, CTGAN, TVAE, and CTAB-GAN, are effective at generating synthetic tabular data, their training is sensitive to column...conference paper 2022

(author), Chen, Yong (author), Zhao, Bo (author)Body Channel Communication (BCC) offers a low-loss signal transmission medium for ultra-low-power wearable devices on human body [1]. However, the effective communication range on human body is limited to less than 1m in the state-of-the-art BCC transceivers [2], where the signal loss at the interface of body surface and BCC receiver remains to...conference paper 2022

Piazzoni, Andrea (author), Vijay, Roshan (author), Cherian, Jim (author), Chen, Lyu (author), Dauwels, J.H.G. (author)The worldwide development of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) has also encouraged the use of software simulators for virtual testing of AVs. However, the effectiveness of the AV simulators is constrained by numerous challenges, such as their computational cost and lack of fidelity in specific areas. In this paper, we describe the modality of virtual...conference paper 2022

Wu, Han (author), Zhao, Z. (author), Chen, Lydia Y. (author), van Moorsel, Aad (author)Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a potentially powerful privacy-preserving machine learning method-ology, since it avoids exchanging data between participants, but instead exchanges model parameters. FL has traditionally been applied to image, voice and similar data, but recently it has started to draw attention from domains including...conference paper 2022

Chen, P.Y. (author)This project proposes a different way of looking at AI alignment, namely by introducing AI Alignment Dialogues. We argue that alignment dialogues have a number of advantages in comparison to data-driven approaches, especially for behaviour support agents, which aim to support users in achieving their desired future behaviours rather than...conference paper 2022
