Simons, Annabel (author)In today's society, claims are everywhere, in the online and offline world. Fact-checking models can check these claims and predict if a claim is true or false, but how can these models be checked? Post-hoc XAI feature attribution methods can be used for this. These methods give scores indicating the influence of the individual tokens on the...bachelor thesis 2023

Pryce, David (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), Memon, Fayyaz A. (author)Limiting the introduction of excess nitrogen to natural water sources is a growing priority for water security and environmental health. This poses particular difficulties in urban environments where available land for potential solutions is limited. A promising option is the integrated fixed-film activated sludge (IFAS) process that requires...journal article 2023

Conforti, G. (author), Kraaij, R.C. (author), Tonon, D. (author)Motivated by recent developments in the fields of large deviations for interacting particle systems and mean field control, we establish a comparison principle for the Hamilton–Jacobi equation corresponding to linearly controlled gradient flows of an energy function E defined on a metric space (E,d). Our analysis is based on a systematic use...journal article 2023

Houtman, Marco (author)Established research that is done on finding similarities between two finite automata, or finite state machines, is based on matching symbols that are shared between the two automata. In our research, we define a scenario in which the shared alphabet is either partially or completely obscured due to translations. We emulate a scenario where 2...master thesis 2022

Keur, Julius (author)High performance machines rely on fast moving parts and generally avoid resonance for improved accuracy. To improve the dynamic properties of these high performance machines, their parts are optimized via a lengthy iterative process. Topology optimization for vibrations problems could shorten this time consuming design process and provide a more...master thesis 2022

Vijlbrief, Sam (author)Public transport (PT) plays a vital role in commuting billions of travellers in cities all over the world, providing a mode that is both sustainable and accessible. Metro networks are especially apt at this considering their high-capacity and high-speed operation in urban environments. Comparing different metro networks to one another is a...master thesis 2022

Yin, Xilin (author)Suction caissons have been used extensively for anchoring and supporting the offshore installations like oil platforms and wind turbines. These foundations are normally subjected to complex combinations of the vertical, horizontal and moment loads (i.e. V, H, M) from the self-weight, wind, wave and currents. In the past decades, extensive...master thesis 2022

GOPALAKRISHNAN, KIRAN (author)In addition to the physiological alterations that occur relatively predictably during pregnancy, psychological transformations also occur at the same time. The baby is developing, but so are a mother's fears and imaginations about her unborn child. Such imaginations about the unborn child and parenting methods are sure to evoke a range of...master thesis 2022

Chang, Jakka (author)The Generalized Gamma Distribution (GGD) is a three-parameter distribution with desirable properties. For certain values of the parameters, the GGD can reduce to the gamma, exponential and lognormal distribution, among others. This makes it a flexible distribution that can be used in various scenarios. The problem with implementation of the GGD...bachelor thesis 2022

Knap, Mikolaj (author)The ever increasing presence of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms and Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents in safety-critical and sensitive fields over the past few years has spurred massive amounts of research in Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques (models). This new frontier of AI research aims to resolve some of the fundamental...bachelor thesis 2022

Interpretability and performance comparisons of decision tree surrogate models produced by AGGREVATEWols, Jonathan (author)Imitation learning algorithms, such as AggreVaTe, have proven successful in solving many challenging tasks accurately and efficiently. In practice, however, they have not been applied quite as much. Black box policies produced by imitation learning algorithms can not ensure the safety needed for real-world applications. This paper extends this...bachelor thesis 2022

Kolff, M.J.C. (author), Venrooij, Joost (author), Schwienbacher, Markus (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)BMW’s new driving simulation center operates multiple motion-base simulators – each with a different kinematic configuration – to serve various experiment use-cases and requirements of simulator users. The selection of a simulator for each experiment should ideally be based on their relative strengths and weaknesses. To support this decision...conference paper 2022

(author)The computer-aided analysis of prostate multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) could improve significant-prostate-cancer (PCa) detection. Various deep-learning-and radiomics-based methods for significant-PCa segmentation or classification have been reported in the literature. To be able to assess the generalizability of the performance of these methods,...journal article 2022

Marynets, Vasyl (author), Marynets, K. (author), Kohutych, Oksana (author)We study a boundary value problem for a system of the third order semi-linear partial differential equations with nonlocal boundary conditions. We establish sufficient conditions of existence, uniqueness, regularity and sign-preserving property of solutions of the studied problem and construct an iterative method for its approximation.journal article 2022

Fokkink, R.J. (author), Papavassiliou, Symeon (author), Pelekis, Christos (author)Let S and X be independent random variables, assuming values in the set of non-negative integers, and suppose further that both E(S) and E(X) are integers satisfying E(S) ≥ E(X). We establish a sufficient condition for the tail probability P(S ≥ E(S)) to be larger than the tail P(S + X ≥ E(S + X)), when the mean of S is equal to the mode.journal article 2022

Zhang, Le (author)Estuarine intertidal flats comprise valuable ecosystems and act as an important sediment source for the adjacent salt marsh systems. However, accelerating sea-level rise threatens the mudflats and associated ecosystems, where the mudflat accretion lag behind sea level rise. A reliable forecast on the morphological developments of the mudflat...master thesis 2021
