Vincenti, Jort (author)To validate the results of a medical trial, there must be an overlap between the treatment and control groups. This implies the crucial need for good evaluation methods. This study, therefore, aimed to evaluate the overlap between causal classes using the Nearest Neighbours’ methods. Firstly, a case study was built around the common failures of...bachelor thesis 2023

Ali, Tarique (author)The realm of architectural design and conceptualization, despite witnessing advancements in design complexity facilitated by technological tools and fabrication techniques, appears to have experienced limited transformative change over time in the way we begin our design process. But is there an alternative way to look at architecture ? Perhaps...master thesis 2023

Dekeyser, Ruben (author)To meet global green energy targets, the bottom founded offshore wind industry is looking for ways to economically expand markets to deeper waters. A reduction of the hydrodynamic load is necessary to achieve this. One option is to perforate the monopile around the splash zone. Here the related work of Q. Star is continued through the...master thesis 2023

Buşe, Florena (author)Thus far the democratization of machine learning, which resulted in the field of AutoML, has focused on the automation of model selection and hyperparameter optimization. Nevertheless, the need for high-quality databases to increase performance has sparked interest in correlation-based feature selection, a simple and fast, yet effective approach...bachelor thesis 2023

Butenaerts, Mathieu (author)Because of the growing presence of artificial intelligence, developers are looking for more efficient methods to construct machine learning algorithms. Program synthesizers allow us to produce algorithms consisting of scalers, feature selection and classifiers. Each of these pipelines is a potential solution to the given machine learning task....bachelor thesis 2023

van Asselt, Koen (author)To reduce computational efforts, surrogate models have been developed for dune erosion prediction. Current surrogate models can describe the relationship between the XBeach input and output (Athanasiou, 2022) and provides a prediction of a morphological indicator based on a parameterized input (profile shape parameters and hydrodynamics). In...master thesis 2023

Khalegaonkar, Gaurav Ulhas (author)Achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement requires a significant transformation of current energy systems. The energy sector has hundreds of technologies and millions of actors working together to balance the system. Researchers are using computer-based models to understand the techno-economic impacts on the energy system due to changes in one...master thesis 2023

Sihlovec, Oliver (author)Scientific problems are often concerned with optimization of control variables of complex systems, for instance hyperparameters of machine learning models. A popular solution for such intractable environments is Bayesian optimization. However, many implementations disregard dynamic evaluation costs associated with the optimization procedure....bachelor thesis 2023

Blom, Joris (author)Fog plays a major role in chain collisions. Proper fog detection is essential for the Dutch road authority to anticipate foggy weather conditions. Dozens of stations in the Netherlands can measure fog. However, fog can be a very local phenomenon. Therefore, more local measurements are needed. There are about 5,000 traffic cameras in...master thesis 2023

Spengler, Daniel (author)The study of tumor microenvironments (TMEs) and immune cell composition in cancer, a disease characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of tumor cells, has become increasingly important for understanding tumor progression and patient outcomes. Tools such as the TME-Analyzer enable this kind of research, but their manual workflows highlight...master thesis 2023

Kant, Henk (author)As the sharing of machine learning (ML) models has increased in popularity, more so-called model zoos are created. These repositories facilitate the sharing of models and their metadata, and other people to find and re-use an existing model. However, the metadata provided for models is insufficient, with little focus on practical aspects of a...master thesis 2023

d' Abreu de Paulo, Gedeon (author)Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world. While there have been many studies investigating the development and progression of cancer in human tissues using host omics data or microbial data, there is a lack of research combining both types of data, even though both modalities have been shown to affect cancer morphology and...master thesis 2023

de Boer, Niels (author)Increased pace of developments strain the ability of policy makers to be timely and sufficiently informed. While there are already sufficient methods available for gauging what plays a role, topic modelling is a novel method that has the potential to be deployed at high speed with low effort. Values play an important role as it shapes policy...master thesis 2023

MENG, YUQI (author)Traditionally, archaeological investigations, especially archaeological remains detection, mostly depend on human observation. In order to find the objects in large areas, a lot of fieldwork has to be done and it takes a long time for archaeologists to travel around. Nowadays, the development of LIDAR provides accurate 3D geometric information,...master thesis 2023

Gökçe, Tolga (author)An algal bloom is defined as a rapid increase in common algae (phytoplankton) abundance in water bodies and it can occur when a group of certain environmental factors is combined. If the algae populations grow out of control, such algal blooms become problematic and cause damage to the ecosystem, such phenomena are called harmful algal blooms....bachelor thesis 2023

KONG, Fanhao (author)This thesis developed a forward model for Sentinel-1 C-band co-pol and cross-pol backscatter and coherence using crop biophysical variables including leaf area index, tops weight, surface soil moisture and root zone soil moisture as inputs for sugarbeet. These input variables are simulated using a crop model called Decision Support System for...master thesis 2023

Mota Lontra, Bernardo (author)The Netherlands is a northwestern European country. The location makes the Netherlands an important entry for trade to the European continent resulting in high traffic intensities [1]. The Netherlands has one of the densest road networks in the world, having over 139.000km of roadways [2, 3]. The understanding of the link between the functional...master thesis 2022

Schönfeld, Mariette (author)Machine learning inference queries are a type of database query for databases where a model pipeline is needed to evaluate its boolean predicates. Using a model zoo it is possible to select a variety of models to execute in a sequence rather than using a highly specialized model to answer every query predicate. Machine learning models can have...master thesis 2022

Lugtenburg, Jochem (author)Auto-tagging systems can enrich music audio by providing contextual information in the form of tag predictions. Such context is valuable to solve problems within the MIR field. The majority of re- cent auto-tagging research, however, only considers a fraction of tags from the full set of available annotations in the original datasets. Because of...master thesis 2022
