Bellizio, Federica (author), Xu, Wangkun (author), Qiu, Dawei (author), Ye, Yujian (author), Papadaskalopoulos, Dimitrios (author), Cremer, Jochen (author), Teng, Fei (author), Strbac, Goran (author)Digitalization is one of the key drivers for energy system transformation. The advances in communication technologies and measurement devices render available a large amount of operational data and enable the centralization of such data storage and processing. The greater access to data opens up new opportunities for a more efficient and...journal article 2022

Sun, B. (author), van Kampen, E. (author)This paper develops an event-triggered optimal control method that can deal with asymmetric input constraints for nonlinear discrete-time systems. The implementation is based on an explainable global dual heuristic programming (XGDHP) technique. Different from traditional GDHP, the required derivatives of cost function in the proposed method...journal article 2022

Ekici, B. (author), Türkcan, Okan (author), Turrin, M. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author), Tasgetiren, Mehmet Fatih (author)The increase in global population, which negatively affects energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and arable land, necessitates designing sustainable habitation alternatives. Self-sufficient high-rise buildings, which integrate (electricity) generation and efficient usage of resources with dense habitation, can be a sustainable solution for future...journal article 2022

Tian, Xin (author), Vertommen, Ina (author), Tsiami, Lydia (author), van Thienen, Peter (author), Paraskevopoulos, S. (author)Most water utilities have to handle a substantial number of customer complaints every year. Traditionally, complaints are handled by skilled staff who know how to identify primary issues, classify complaints, find solutions, and communicate with customers. The effort associated with complaint processing is often great, depending on the number...journal article 2022

Oskam, P.I.J. (author), Bier, H.H. (author), Alavi, Hamed S. (author)Minimal interventions that provide various microclimates can stimulate both biodiversity and social accessibility of leftover spaces. New habitats are often developed for different animal and plant species based on studies of the microclimates typical of such residual spaces. By introducing interventions of 0.5-1.0 m diameter ‘planetoids’ placed...journal article 2022

Sharma, Salil (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Snelder, M. (author)This paper studies and compares the gap selection process of multiple vehicle classes (passenger cars, delivery vans, and trucks) within their discretionary lane changing activities. Given a trajectory or a sequence of gap selection decisions, we aim to predict whether a vehicle will change or keep a lane. For this purpose, we use a large...journal article 2022

Keulen, D. (author), Geldhof, Geoffroy (author), Bussy, Olivier Le (author), Pabst, Martin (author), Ottens, M. (author)The safety requirements for vaccines are extremely high since they are administered to healthy people. For that reason, vaccine development is time-consuming and very expensive. Reducing time-to-market is key for pharmaceutical companies, saving lives and money. Therefore the need is raised for systematic, general and efficient process...journal article 2022

Bugaje, A.-.A.B. (author), Cremer, Jochen (author), Strbac, Goran (author)The classical formulation of the transmission switching problem as a mixed-integer problem is intractable for large systems in real-time control settings. Several heuristics have been proposed in the past to speed up the computation time, which only limits the number of switchable lines. In this paper, a real-time switching heuristic based on...journal article 2022

Forouzandeh Shahraki, N. (author), Zomorodian, Zahra Sadat (author), Tahsildoost, Mohammad (author), Shaghaghian, Zohreh (author)Recent studies have focused on data-driven methods for building energy efficiency, by using simulated or empirical data, for energy-based design assessment rather than the common physics-based techniques, which are mostly time-consuming. In this paper, the feasibility of using seven different Machine Learning models, including three single...journal article 2022

Angelucci, Alessandra (author), Li, Ziyue (author), Stoimenova, N. (author), Canali, Stefano (author)Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have been widely applied to various contexts, including high-stake decision processes in healthcare, banking, and judicial systems. Some developed AI models fail to offer a fair output for specific minority groups, sparking comprehensive discussions about AI fairness. We argue that the development of AI...journal article 2022

Conroy, Philip (author), van Diepen, S.A.N. (author), Van Asselen, Sanneke (author), Erkens, Gilles (author), van Leijen, F.J. (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author)Phase unwrapping, also known as ambiguity resolution, is an underdetermined problem in which assumptions must be made to obtain a result in SAR interferometry (InSAR) time series analysis. This problem is particularly acute for distributed scatterer InSAR, in which noise levels can be so large that they are comparable in magnitude to the...journal article 2022

(author)Machine learning obtains good accuracy in determining the number of contributors (NOC) in short tandem repeat (STR) mixture DNA profiles. However, the models used so far are not understandable to users as they only output a prediction without any reasoning for that conclusion. Therefore, we leverage techniques from the field of explainable...journal article 2022

Valentine, David Callisto (author), Smit, I.R. (author), Kim, E.D.H. (author)Trust is an important factor in building acceptance of autonomous vehicles within our society, but the complex nature of trust makes it challenging to design for an appropriate level of trust. This can lead to instances of mistrust and/or distrust between users and AV’s. Designing for calibrated trust is a possible option to address this...journal article 2021

Umbrello, S. (author), van de Poel, I.R. (author)Value sensitive design (VSD) is an established method for integrating values into technical design. It has been applied to different technologies and, more recently, to artificial intelligence (AI). We argue that AI poses a number of challenges specific to VSD that require a somewhat modified VSD approach. Machine learning (ML), in particular,...journal article 2021

Doorn, N. (author)Recent years have seen a rise of techniques based on artificial intelligence (AI). With that have also come initiatives for guidance on how to develop “responsible AI” aligned with human and ethical values. Compared to sectors like energy, healthcare, or transportation, the use of AI-based techniques in the water domain is relatively modest....journal article 2021

(author), Van de Plas, Raf (author)The search for molecular species that are differentially expressed between biological states is an important step towards discovering promising biomarker candidates. In imaging mass spectrometry (IMS), performing this search manually is often impractical due to the large size and high-dimensionality of IMS datasets. Instead, we propose an...journal article 2021

Fisher, Michael (author), Mascardi, Viviana (author), Rozier, Kristin Yvonne (author), Schlingloff, Bernd-Holger (author), Winikof, Michael (author), Yorke-Smith, N. (author)A computational system is called autonomous if it is able to make its own decisions, or take its own actions, without human supervision or control. The capability and spread of such systems have reached the point where they are beginning to touch much of everyday life. However, regulators grapple with how to deal with autonomous systems, for...journal article 2021
