(author)Real-world applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in architecture have been explored more recently at Technical University (TU) Delft by integrating AI in Design-to-Robotic-Production-Assembly and -Operation (D2RPA&O) methods. These embed robotics into building processes and buildings by linking computational design with robotic...conference paper 2024

(author), Pera, M.S. (author)Web search has evolved into a platform people rely on for opinion formation on debated topics. Yet, pursuing this search intent can carry serious consequences for individuals and society and involves a high risk of biases. We argue that web search can and should empower users to form opinions responsibly and that the information retrieval...conference paper 2024

Goyal, Kshitij (author), Dumančić, S. (author), Blockeel, Hendrik (author)As machine learning models, specifically neural networks, are becoming increasingly popular, there are concerns regarding their trustworthiness, especially in safety-critical applications, e.g., actions of an autonomous vehicle must be safe. There are approaches that can train neural networks where such domain requirements are enforced as...conference paper 2024

Nadeem, A. (author)Although many Computer Science (CS) programs offer cybersecurity courses, they are typically optional and placed at the periphery of the program. We advocate to integrate cybersecurity as a crosscutting concept in CS curricula, which is also consistent with latest cybersecurity curricular guidelines, e.g., CSEC2017. We describe our experience...conference paper 2024

Huisman, T. (author), van der Linden, J.G.M. (author), Demirović, E. (author)Survival analysis studies and predicts the time of death, or other singular unrepeated events, based on historical data, while the true time of death for some instances is unknown. Survival trees enable the discovery of complex nonlinear relations in a compact human comprehensible model, by recursively splitting the population and predicting...conference paper 2024

Cambaz, Doga (author), Zhang, X. (author)The recent emergence of LLM-based code generation models can potentially transform programming education. To pinpoint the current state of research on using LLM-based code generators to support the teaching and learning of programming, we conducted a systematic literature review of 21 papers published since 2018. The review focuses on (1) the...conference paper 2024

de Wit, S. (author), Hermans, F.F.J. (author), Specht, M.M. (author), Aivaloglou, E.A. (author)From an early age, girls may opt out of Computer Science (CS) for not fitting the CS stereotypes of being male, asocial and technology-oriented. These stereotypes might be strengthened by children's books on programming, but little is known about this. Therefore, this paper explores the gender, social interactions and interests of characters...conference paper 2024

Sioli, A. (author), Jennen, P.H.M. (author), Matyiku, Anca (author)Can architects design with words? Can they move from words to models and then hands on making, bypassing the medium of drawing altogether? “Homing Objects” was a recent four-week workshop that tested this possibility. The workshop–part of the master level design course “The Space of Words” which explored different ways to address the above...conference paper 2024

Veloso e Zárate, H. (author), Triggianese, M. (author), Cuartero, Javier (author), Stoter, J.E. (author), Gilio, Renata (author)With the growing demand for sustainable accountability, the European Directive 2014/24/EU (EU 2014) pushes architects to deliver Building Information Models (BIM) as a part of procurement processes for public buildings. In the Netherlands, BIM model data is relevant to the building permitting process, which involves an environmental performance...conference paper 2024

Valle Torre, M. (author), Oertel, Catharine (author), Specht, M.M. (author)Describing and analysing learner behaviour using sequential data and analysis is becoming more and more popular in Learning Analytics. Nevertheless, we found a variety of definitions of learning sequences, as well as choices regarding data aggregation and the methods implemented for analysis. Furthermore, sequences are used to study different...conference paper 2024

Dierikx, M. (author), Albers, N. (author), Scheltinga, Bouke (author), Brinkman, W.P. (author)Goal-setting is commonly used in behavior change applications for physical activity. However, for goals to be effective, they need to be tailored to a user’s situation (e.g., motivation, progress). One way to obtain such goals is a collaborative process in which a healthcare professional and client set a goal together, thus making use of the...conference paper 2024

Landoni, Monica (author), Huibers, Theo (author), Murgia, Emiliana (author), Pera, M.S. (author)In this work, we reason how focusing on Information Retrieval (IR) for children and involving them in participatory studies would benefit the IR community. The Child Computer Interaction (CCI) community has embraced the child as a protagonist as their main philosophy, regarding children as informants, co-designers, and evaluators, not just...conference paper 2024

Pera, M.S. (author), Cena, Federica (author), Huibers, Theo (author), Landoni, Monica (author), Mauro, Noemi (author), Murgia, Emiliana (author)Information Retrieval (IR) remains an active, fast-paced area of research. However, most advances in IR have predominantly benefited the so-called “classical” users, e.g., English-speaking adults. We envision IR4U2as a forum to spotlight efforts that, while sparse, consider diverse, and often understudied, user groups when designing,...conference paper 2024

Ekstrand, Michael D. (author), Beattie, Lex (author), Pera, M.S. (author), Cramer, Henriette (author)Information Retrieval (IR) systems have a wide range of impacts on consumers. We offer maps to help identify goals IR systems could—or should—strive for, and guide the process of scoping how to gauge a wide range of consumer-side impacts and the possible interventions needed to address these effects. Grounded in prior work on scoping...conference paper 2024

(author), Venkatesha Prasad, Ranga Rao (author)The recent spate of natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods destroyed buildings and caused loss of lives. Many times, the loss of life is attributed to slow response and not being able to reach the survivors. In such scenarios, the staggering number of deaths in the aftermath of a disaster can be reduced if information about survivors...conference paper 2024

Ruggeri, J. (author), Strube, J. (author), Dowling, K.M. (author)This paper reports on the creation of a novel 3D Hall-effect sensor based on an anisotropically etched, inverted pyramid structure. Specific biasing and sensing contact configurations are employed to extract the in-plane or out-of-plane components of the magnetic field, eliminating cross-sensitivity by symmetry. Simulations were performed to...conference paper 2024
