Aben, N. (author)Targeted anticancer medicine holds much promise, but determining the optimal treatment for a given patient is often difficult. In order to improve treatment selection, research has focused on the identification of genomic markers of drug sensitivity, often guided by statistical methods that identify relations between characteristics of a tumour...master thesis 2014

Kolpa, G.A. (author), Santokhi, M.Y. (author), Vincendon, J.R.J. (author)Diffusion curves as defined by Orzan et al. (2008) have so far been only applied to single, static images. We propose a system to construct diffusion curves over a sequence of images. These curves can then be used to construct depth and motion information to augment the image sequence.bachelor thesis 2013

Isnanda, R.G. (author)Paranoia is described as state of mind where the subject has an unfounded belief that other people will, intentionally, cause him a harm. Being suspicious is not a bad thing. In certain circumstances, being suspicious is often encouraged because it is really helpful in maintaining safety. However, when this suspicion is exaggerated or unfounded,...master thesis 2013

Gunawan, L.T. (author)The research focuses on guiding the affected population towards a safe location in a disaster area by utilizing their self-help capacity with prevalent mobile technology. In contrast to the traditional centralized information management systems for disaster response, this research proposes a decen- tralized computer-supported management system...doctoral thesis 2013

Taal, C.H. (author)In digital speech-communication systems like mobile phones, public address systems and hearing aids, conveying the message is one of the most important goals. This can be challenging since the intelligibility of the speech may be harmed at various stages before, during and after the transmission process from sender to receiver. Causes which...doctoral thesis 2013

Sandino, M.G. (author)Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET) is being used for the treatment of several phobias, such as fear of flying. A system for VRET has two users, the Patient suffering of a phobia and the therapist who controls the session and the system simultaneously. Research mainly focuses on the patient experience and the effectiveness of the treatment....master thesis 2012

Hajizadeh, S. (author)We present a framework for learning arithmetic expressions from a set of observations. Our intention is to introduce a Bayesian method for what is known as equation discovery. Our method is based on measuring a degree of belief (posterior probability) for a set of hypothesized expressions to find those which best explain the observed data. This...master thesis 2012

De Greef, T. (author)This dissertation promotes a focus shift from automation extending human capabilities to automation partnering with the human. Highly automated systems tend to be incompatible with humans, leading to degradations in performance that may lead to serious problems in high-risk professional domains, such as the Navy and Urban Search and Rescue. This...doctoral thesis 2012

Meuleman, W. (author)The work in this thesis is concerned with two very distinct biological fields. The first part pertains to the development of techniques to aid in the search for clinical biomarkers for use in the early detection of cancer. The second part aims to elucidate in what way a genome is organised in a cell nucleus and the functional consequences of...doctoral thesis 2012

Kraayenbrink, N. (author)In the field of video surveillance, a large problem is often the acquiring of video feeds of specific scenarios as test or training data. Even if privacy and safety concerns are not taken into account, it is often much cheaper to generate a virtual scenario rather than record one using real cameras, especially when the camera placement was not...master thesis 2012

Hindriks, K.V. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author), Tykhonov, D. (author)The “negotiation dance”, as Raiffa calls the dynamic pattern of the bidding, has an important influence on the outcome of the negotiation. The current practice of evaluating a negotiation strategy is to focus on fairness and quality aspects of the agreement. In this article we present the framework DANS (Dynamics Analysis of Negotiation...journal article 2011

Busscher, B. (author), De Vliegher, D. (author), Ling, Y. (author), Brinkman, W.P. (author)Using virtual reality technology for exposure therapy to treat patients with anxiety disorders is attracting considerable research attention. The ability to monitor patient anxiety level helps therapists to set appropriate anxiety arousing situations. Physiological measures have been put forward as objective indicators of anxiety levels. Because...journal article 2011

Visser, W.M. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author)In the context of practical reasoning, such as decision making and negotiation, it is necessary to model preferences over possible outcomes. Such preferences usually depend on multiple criteria. We argue that the criteria by which outcomes are evaluated should be the satisfaction of a person’s underlying interests: the more an outcome satisfies...conference paper 2011

Liu, H. (author), Heynderickx, I. (author)Developing an objective metric, which automatically quantifies perceived image quality degradation induced by blur, is highly beneficial for current digital imaging systems. In many applications, these objective metrics need to be of the noreference (NR) type, which implies that quality prediction is based on the distorted image only. Recent...journal article 2011

Pommeranz, A. (author), Detweiler, C.A. (author), Wiggers, P. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author)The impact of ubiquitous technology and social media on our lives is rapidly increasing. We explicitly need to consider personal values affected or violated by these systems. Value-sensitive design can guide a designer in building systems that account for human values. However, the framework lacks clear steps to guide elicitation of stakeholders...conference paper 2011

(author)Reliably assessing overall quality of JPEG/JPEG2000 coded images without having the original image as a reference is still challenging, mainly due to our limited understanding of how humans combine the various perceived artifacts to an overall quality judgment. A known approach to avoid the explicit simulation of human assessment of overall...journal article 2011

Baarslag, T. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author)In every negotiation with a deadline, one of the negotiating parties has to accept an offer to avoid a break off. A break off is usually an undesirable outcome for both parties, therefore it is important that a negotiator employs a proficient mechanism to decide under which conditions to accept. When designing such conditions one is faced with...conference paper 2011
