Riccio, Andrea (author)This thesis describes the design journey that resulted in a post-pandemic vision for distributed teams and the development of a concept to fulfil the lack of spontaneous encounters in hybrid working environments. The research follows two different approaches, the double-diamond and the Dive method and includes extensive literature review, remote...master thesis 2021

van den Berg, Michiel (author)This work analyses context effect in the evaluation of music similarity performed by human annotators to better understand the impact of context effects in the current annotation protocol of Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange (MIREX). Human annotators are known to be subjective when giving similarity judgements. The Audio Music...master thesis 2021

Hou, Ying (author)This graduation project focuses on the livability issues in the historic neighbourhood under the Chinese context. The current Chinese heritage preservation focuses on conserving material, while livability means adapt physical settings for present use. Therefore, the living condition in the historic neighbourhoods is often neglected. This thesis...master thesis 2021

Pool, E.A.I. (author)This thesis addresses the problem of path prediction for cyclists.<br/>Instead of solely focusing on how to predict the future trajectory based on previous position measurements, this thesis investigates how to leverage additional contextual information that can inform on the future intent of cyclists.<br/>This thesis does this with the...doctoral thesis 2021

Bengtson, M.L. (author)The aim of this thesis was to develop a DNA-detection scheme for a point-of-care diagnostic test for Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) for use within resource-limited settings. The scientific innovation is to develop an adaptable DNA-detection scheme, using CRISPR-dCas9 (catalytically inactive Cas9), that can detect the DNA of any pathogen in...doctoral thesis 2021

Gaete Cruz, M. (author), Ersoy, A. (author), Czischke, D.K. (author), van Bueren, Ellen (author)With the social, ecological and sanitary pressures on urban settlements<br/>and the public sector being unable to successfully provide such answers<br/>alone, co-design can play a crucial role towards urban transformations<br/>and resilient public spaces. We understand co-design as a process in<br/>which institutional networks of public, private...abstract 2021

Liscio, E. (author), van der Meer, M.T. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author), Murukannaiah, P.K. (author)Value alignment is a crucial aspect of ethical multiagent systems. An important step toward value alignment is identifying values specific to an application context. However, identifying contextspecific values is complex and cognitively demanding. To support this process, we develop a methodology and a collaborative web platform that employs AI...conference paper 2021

Pool, E.A.I. (author), Kooij, J.F.P. (author), Gavrila, D. (author)This paper compares two models for context-based path prediction of objects with switching dynamics: a Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) and a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). These models are instances of two larger model categories, distinguished by whether expert knowledge is explicitly crafted into the state representation (and thus is...journal article 2021

Hussain, A.M. (author), Cattoor, B. (author), Hooimeijer, F.L. (author)Rapid urbanization and increasing globalization of urban development strategies are resulting in a lack of connection between people and places, and places and their context. Nevertheless, cultural embedding and sense of place have a direct impact on the quality of public space. The purpose of this research is to explore culture and context...abstract 2021

Dai, Pengwen (author), Li, Y. (author), Zhang, Hua (author), Li, Jingzhi (author), Cao, Xiaochun (author)Scene text detection has attracted increasing concerns with the rapid development of deep neural networks in recent years. However, existing scene text detectors may overfit on the public datasets due to the limited training data, or generate inaccurate localization for arbitrary-shape scene texts. This paper presents an arbitrary-shape scene...journal article 2021

Niesten, Jelmer (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Krimm, J. (author)Recent studies show that environmental noise in urban environments continues to be a great health risk. This noise is especially further transmitted by the hard materials that are mostly used for façades. To predict these effects it is desirable to have a reliable prediction method. There are already several ways to predict sound levels in an...journal article 2021
