de Jonge, Sterre (author)Introduction. Needle electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic tool used to identify and localise neuromuscular disorders, but the current evaluation by a neurologist is subjective and requires years of training. Artificial intelligence can be used to automatically classify needle EMG signals. However, previous studies in this area have been...master thesis 2023

Westfalewicz, Andrzej (author)Software security plays a crucial role in the modern world governed by software. And while closed source projects can enjoy a sense of confidentiality when addressing security issues, open source projects undertake them publicly even though just as many projects rely on them. In 50% of documented cases, the vulnerabilities could have been...master thesis 2023

Kamel Targhi, Elahe (author), Emami Niri, Mohammad (author), Zitha, P.L.J. (author)Cross-linked polymer gel is widely used in the oil and gas industry to block high permeability conduits and reduce water cut. The complex nature of this fluid, especially regarding flow in porous media, makes its numerical simulation very time-consuming. This study presents an approach to designing an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model...journal article 2023

Kerkhof, Maikel (author), Wu, L. (author), Perin, G. (author), Picek, S. (author)Deep learning is a powerful direction for profiling side-channel analysis as it can break targets protected with countermeasures even with a relatively small number of attack traces. Still, it is necessary to conduct hyperparameter tuning to reach strong attack performance, which can be far from trivial. Besides many options stemming from the...journal article 2023

Lee, Y. (author), Specht, M.M. (author)Reading on digital devices has become more commonplace, while it often poses challenges to learners' attention. In this study, we hypothesized that allowing learners to reflect on their reading phases with an empathic social robot companion might enhance learners' attention in e-reading. To verify our assumption, we collected a novel dataset ...conference paper 2023

Al-Kaswan, A. (author), Ahmed, Toufique (author), Izadi, M. (author), Sawant, Anand Ashok (author), Devanbu, Premkumar (author), van Deursen, A. (author)Binary reverse engineering is used to understand and analyse programs for which the source code is unavailable. Decompilers can help, transforming opaque binaries into a more readable source code-like representation. Still, reverse engineering is difficult and costly, involving considering effort in labelling code with helpful summaries....conference paper 2023

Guo, Zhongyuan (author), Guendel, Ronny (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author), Fioranelli, F. (author)Radar-based Human Activity Recognition(HAR) is considered by using snapshots of point clouds. Such point cloudsinterpret 2D images generated by an mm-wave FMCW MIMO radar enriched byincluding Doppler and temporal information. We use the similarity between suchradar data representation and the core of the self-attention concept inartificial...conference paper 2023

Presekal, A. (author), Stefanov, Alexandru (author), Subramaniam Rajkumar, Vetrivel (author), Palensky, P. (author)Electrical power grids are vulnerable to cyber attacks, as seen in Ukraine in 2015 and 2016. However, existing attack detection methods are limited. Most of them are based on power system measurement anomalies that occur when an attack is successfully executed at the later stages of the cyber kill chain. In contrast, the attacks on the Ukrainian...journal article 2023

Guendel, Ronny (author), Ullmann, I. (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)Radar-based human activity recognition in crowded environments using regression approaches is addressed. Whereas previous research has focused on single activities and subjects, the problem of continuous activity recognition involving up to five individuals moving in arbitrary directions in an indoor area is introduced. To treat the problem, a...conference paper 2023

Ottati, F. (author), Gao, Chang (author), Chen, Qinyu (author), Brignone, Giovanni (author), Casu, Mario R. (author), Eshraghian, Jason K. (author), Lavagno, Luciano (author)As deep learning models scale, they become increasingly competitive from domains spanning from computer vision to natural language processing; however, this happens at the expense of efficiency since they require increasingly more memory and computing power. The power efficiency of the biological brain outperforms any large-scale deep...journal article 2023

Zhu, S. (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)The problem of 2D instantaneous ego-motion estimation for vehicles equipped with automotive radars is studied. To leverage multi-dimensional radar point clouds and exploit point features automatically, without human engineering, a novel approach is proposed that transforms ego-motion estimation into a weighted least squares (wLSQ) problem using...conference paper 2023

Bartlett, A.J. (author), Liem, C.C.S. (author), Panichella, A. (author)Deep learning (DL) models are known to be highly accurate, yet vulnerable to adversarial examples. While earlier research focused on generating adversarial examples using whitebox strategies, later research focused on black-box strategies, as models often are not accessible to external attackers. Prior studies showed that black-box approaches...conference paper 2023

van der Valk Bouman, Jim (author)A fundamental tool in radiotherapy treatment planning is the dose calculation algorithm, which models the dose that will be distributed for given beam parameters and patient geometry. Various available algorithms include Monte Carlo simulations (MC) and pencil beam algorithms (PBA), with the former being computationally expensive but offering...master thesis 2022

Vlekke, Jimmy (author)Global warming causes coral bleaching which threatens the health and existence of coral reefs and therefore also the future of a lot of species, including human beings. Efforts to automate coral reef monitoring using annotated coral images to detect coral bleaching are hindered by the lack of a complete dataset that specifies the health and...master thesis 2022

Jansma, Walter (author)With the world’s population recently surpassing the 8 billion mark, population growth poses significant challenges on the planet. This growth is particularly evident in urban areas, and as a consequence, cities must find innovative ways to accommodate the increasing pressure on the current road infrastructure. In Amsterdam, a city with an...master thesis 2022

Donse, Daniël (author)Background: The procedure to fit a prosthetic socket to a patient, which can assure the patient’s comfort during activities of daily living, is labour intensive. Such a lengthy procedure could benefit from an automated and more efficient data-driven method capable of automatically tracking the relative movement between the patient’s tibia and...master thesis 2022

Chinea Hammecher, Claudia (author)Glioma progression is monitored by routine MR scanning, enabling tumor growth evaluation with respect to earlier time-points. This growth may present both as a mass effect and as an extension of abnormalities into previously healthy tissue. To accurately quantify tumor growth and tumor-induced deformations, longitudinal intrasubject image...master thesis 2022

Quist, Joris (author)Binary Neural Networks (BNNs) are compact and efficient by using binary weights instead of real-valued weights. Current BNNs use latent real-valued weights during training, where several training hyper-parameters are inherited from real-valued networks. The interpretation of several of these hyperparameters is based on the magnitude of the real...master thesis 2022

Jol, Cees (author)Strawberries have a short shelf-life time and thus need to be harvested at the right time to reduce waste. To this end, information about quality attributes is useful. Recently, many computer vision methods have been proposed. Most literature analyzes postharvest, which means that strawberries can only be analyzed after harvesting. As a result,...master thesis 2022
