Rieger, A. (author), Bredius, Frank (author), Theune, Mariët (author), Pera, M.S. (author)An essential characteristic for unbiased and diligent information-seeking that can enable informed opinion formation and decision-making is intellectual humility (IH), the awareness of the limitations of one's knowledge and opinions. While researchers have recognized the potential to boost IH in individuals, the effect of such interventions...conference paper 2024

Tavio Y Cabrera, E.J. (author), Della Santina, C. (author), Borja, Pablo (author)The compliant nature of soft robots is appealing to a wide range of applications. However, this compliant property also poses several control challenges, e.g., how to deal with infinite degrees of freedom and highly nonlinear behaviors. This paper proposes a hybrid controller for a pneumatic-actuated soft robot. To this end, a model-based...conference paper 2024

Li, Xinqi (author), Zhang, Y. (author), Zhao, Y. (author), van Gemert, J.C. (author), Tao, Q. (author)Quantitative cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an increasingly important diagnostic tool for cardiovascular diseases. Yet, co-registration of all baseline images within the quantitative MRI sequence is essential for the accuracy and precision of quantitative maps. However, co-registering all baseline images from a quantitative...conference paper 2024

Haase, Matthias (author), Konstantinou, T. (author)Roughly 97% of the European Union (EU) building stock is not considered energy efficient, and 75–85% of it will still be in use in 2050 (Artola et al., Boosting building renovation: What potential and value for Europe? 2016). Residential buildings account for around two thirds of final energy consumption in European buildings. The rate at...conference paper 2024

Zhu, P. (author), Wang, Zhen (author), Okumura, Manabu (author), Yang, J. (author)Textbook question answering is challenging as it aims to automatically answer various questions on textbook lessons with long text and complex diagrams, requiring reasoning across modalities. In this work, we propose MRHF, a novel framework that incorporates dense passage re-ranking and the mixture-of-experts architecture for TQA. MRHF...conference paper 2024

Lu, Zehao (author), Wang, Shihan (author), Ren, Xiao Long (author), Costas, Rodrigo (author), Metze, T.A.P. (author)Numerous research efforts have centered on identifying the most influential players in networked social systems. This problem is immensely crucial in the research of complex networks. Most existing techniques either model social dynamics on static networks only and ignore the underlying time-serial nature or model the social interactions as...conference paper 2024

Gao, W. (author), Peters, R.Y. (author), Stoter, J.E. (author)This paper discusses the reconstruction of LoD2 building models from 2D and 3D data for large-scale urban environments. Traditional methods involve the use of LiDAR point clouds, but due to high costs and long intervals associated with acquiring such data for rapidly developing areas, researchers have started exploring the use of point clouds...conference paper 2024

Lebègue, J. (author), Delahaye, Daniel (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)Many transportation networks have complex infrastructures (road, rail, airspace, etc.). The quality of service in air transportation depends on weather conditions. Technical failures of the aircraft, bad weather conditions, strike of the company’s staff cause delays and disrupt traffic. How can the robustness of such networks be improved?...conference paper 2024
