Vos, Bart (author)In recent years many automatic differentiable programming frameworks have been developed in which numerical programs can be differentiated through automatic differentiation (AD). Examples of these frameworks are Theano, TensorFlow and Pytorch. These frameworks are widely used in Machine Learning. AD also finds applications in the field of...bachelor thesis 2021

Simon, Goitze (author)Six cyclic settlement models for sand are evaluated to analyse the settlement of automatic stacking crane (ASC) rail tracks at the Rotterdam World Gateway (RWG) container terminal. During Phase 1 of the RWG container terminal settlement of the rail tracks occurred at multiple locations after the ASCs became operational....master thesis 2021

Lam, Jimmy (author)Schema therapy is a physiological treatment technique for mental health issues. Based on the thoughts and behaviour, patients are classified to a schema mode which represents their current state of mind. Automatically classifying these thoughts and behaviours could improve detection of potential mental health issues as well as provide better and...bachelor thesis 2021

Boon Alexaki, Philippos (author)Definitional interpreters are difficult to test with a pre-defined test suite. This paper tries to determine the effectiveness of automatic testing of definitional interpreters, using concolic execution. First we develop a model for concolic execution of a functional language. Then we identify different categories of common mistakes when writing...bachelor thesis 2021

Meij, Joep (author)Limited stroke automatic watch winding poses a challenge due to the proof mass range being smaller than the input displacements. Traditionally the proof mass is connected to the mainspring by a linear reduction transmission however this setup only functions effectively for specific accelerations. This paper proposes to use a nonlinear...master thesis 2022

Magyari, Reka (author)Clinical documentation takes up 40% of clinicians’ time. To ease the administrative burden of clinicians, digital scribes offer the potential to automate clinical note taking. Digital scribes are intelligent documentation softwares that combine automated speech recognition (ASR) and natural language processing (NLP). Digital scribes transcribe...master thesis 2022

GUO, Zhuoran (author)Online searching for healthcare information has gradually become a widely used internet case. Suppose a patient suffers the symptom but is unsure of the action he needs to take, a self-diagnosis tool can help the patient identify the possible conditions and whether this patient needs to seek immediate medical help. However, the accuracy and...master thesis 2022

Ezard, François (author)Common sense knowledge (CSK) comes naturally to humans, but is very hard for computers to comprehend. However it is critical for machines to behave intelligently, and as such collecting CSK has become a prevalent field of research. Whilst a lot of research has been done to develop CSK acquisition methods, not much work has been done to survey...bachelor thesis 2022

Prusti, Maarit (author)The building permit process in the Netherlands is mostly digitalized, however, there are still some issues. A downsize of information, the manual checking from the municipality, and the duration of the process are some of these issues. To overcome these issues information between 3D building design models, so-called Building Information Modeling...master thesis 2022

Völker, Willem (author)Recent research on the Flying V - a flying-wing long-range passenger aircraft - shows that its airframe design is 25% more aerodynamically efficient than a conventional tube-and-wing airframe. The Flying V is therefore a promising contribution towards reduction in climate impact of long-haul flights. However, some design aspects of the Flying V...master thesis 2022

Zhang, Yixuan (author)One of the most important problems that needs tackling for wide deployment of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is the bias in ASR, i.e., ASRs tend to generate more accurate predictions for certain speaker groups while making more errors on speech from others. In this thesis, we aim to reduce bias against non-native speakers of Dutch compared...master thesis 2022
