Lu, Zehao (author), Wang, Shihan (author), Ren, Xiao Long (author), Costas, Rodrigo (author), Metze, T.A.P. (author)Numerous research efforts have centered on identifying the most influential players in networked social systems. This problem is immensely crucial in the research of complex networks.

Martinelli, Cristiano (author), Coraddu, A. (author), Cammarano, Andrea (author)Meta-heuristic optimisation algorithms are high-level procedures designed to discover near-optimal solutions to optimisation problems. These strategies can efficiently explore the design space of the problems; therefore, they perform well even when incomplete and scarce information is available. Such characteristics make them the ideal...conference paper 2024

Lanfranco, Valerio (author), Luna-Navarro, Alessandra (author), Popescu, M.A. (author)The higher complexity of adaptive façades with respect to conventional static façades hinders their applicability to the built environment. To address this, passive solutions aim at lowering the number of components while preserving the benefits of these systems. In this paper the design of a two-component passive dynamic sunshade that combines...conference paper 2023

Al Alsadi, Arwa (author), Sameshima, Kaichi (author), Yoshioka, Katsunari (author), van Eeten, M.J.G. (author), Hernandez Ganan, C. (author)For years, attackers have exploited vulnerabilities in Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Previous research has examined target selection in cybercrime, but there has been little investigation into the factors that influence target selection in attacks on IoT. This study aims to better understand how attackers choose their targets by analyzing...conference paper 2023

(author)Existing work on Counterfactual Explanations (CE) and Algorithmic Recourse (AR) has largely focused on single individuals in a static environment: given some estimated model, the goal is to find valid counterfactuals for an individual instance that fulfill various desiderata. The ability of such counterfactuals to handle dynamics like data and...conference paper 2023

(author), Badura, Aleksandra (author), Hunyadi, Borbala (author)Functional ultrasound (fUS) is a novel neuroimaging technique that measures brain hemodynamics through a time series of Doppler images. The measured spatiotemporal hemodynamic changes reflect changes in neural activity through the neurovascular coupling (NVC). Often, such image time series is used to analyze dynamic functional connectivity ...conference paper 2023

Tsetas, A. (author), Tsouvalas, A. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)In this paper, the characteristics of the induced ground motion are studied for two pile installation methods. Specifically, the classical axial vibratory driving is compared with the Gentle Driving of Piles (GDP) method, to investigate the effect of high-frequency torsional excitation in the soil response. For that purpose, a non-linear 3-D...conference paper 2023

van der Linden, J.G.M. (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author), Demirović, E. (author)Global optimization of decision trees has shown to be promising in terms of accuracy, size, and consequently human comprehensibility. However, many of the methods used rely on general-purpose solvers for which scalability remains an issue. Dynamic programming methods have been shown to scale much better because they exploit the tree structure by...conference paper 2023

de Groot, Lucan (author), Xu, M. (author), Zuniga, Marco (author)We explore a new alternative for drones to gather information from sensors. Instead of using the traditional radio-frequency spectrum, whose broadcast nature makes it more difficult to poll specific objects, we utilize the light spectrum. In our system, the drone carries a light, and flies to an area that it is interested in polling. Only the...conference paper 2023
