de Jong, M.A. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Mathematical human controller (HC) models are widely used in tuning manual control systems and for understanding human performance. Typically, quasi-linear HC models are used, which can accurately capture the linear portion of HCs' behavior, averaged over a long measurement window. This paper presents a deep learning HC skill-level evaluation...journal article 2022

Wang, K. (author), Yang, Yongsheng (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Huang, Quanyi (author)Typhoon storm surge disasters have garnered much attention because of their catastrophic damages. We investigated spatiotemporal patterns of typhoon storm surge disasters based on their tropical cyclone track clusters to support disaster mitigation in China. We aggregated 172 typhoon storm surge disasters in the entire cluster. Then, we used...journal article 2021

Szabó, A.D. (author), Jamali-Rad, H. (author), Mannava, Siva Datta (author)Traditional empirical risk minimization (ERM) for semantic segmentation can disproportionately advantage or disadvantage certain target classes in favor of an (unfair but) improved overall performance. Inspired by the recently introduced tilted ERM (TERM), we propose tilted cross-entropy (TCE) loss and adapt it to the semantic segmentation...conference paper 2021

Blokker, R.J.A. (author), Xu, M. (author), Zuniga, Marco (author)Passive visible light communication (VLC) takes advantage of the pervasive nature of ambient light in our environment for wireless transmissions. The design of transmitters in passive VLC predominately uses liquid crystal displays (LCDs). While LCDs are an economical choice with low power consumption, they lack some key properties that are...journal article 2021

Peschl, M. (author)We propose a deep reinforcement learning algorithm that employs an adversarial training strategy for adhering to implicit human norms alongside optimizing for a narrow goal objective. Previous methods which incorporate human values into reinforcement learning algorithms either scale poorly or assume hand-crafted state features. Our algorithm...conference paper 2021
