Generative algorithms to improve mental health issue detection

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...

Towards a Robotic Architectural Species: Aggregate Structures and Swarm Robotics

In a quest to breathe new life into public spaces and engage with its today’s increasingly (inter-)connected users, robotic architectural components seem to open up possibilities to give agency to building component. A new field of research has been involving multi-agent robotic systems in the architectural design and/or fabrication process....

Exploring normalizing flow for anomaly detection

Anomaly detection is a task of interest in many domains. Typical way of tackling this problem is using an unsupervised way. Recently, deep neural network based density estimators such as Normalizing flows have seen a huge interest. The ability of these models to do the exact latent-variable inference and exact log-likelihood calculation with...

Playscapes: An investigation into games as generative interfaces for architecture

This projects aims to understand architectural entities present in Blaak Market, Rotterdam systematically and map their relation to a geometric game. Doing so would enable the inhabitants to voice their concern by play ing an intuitive game. Beside the new approach to participatory design, the methodology adopted in this project has made the...
