Li, Jie (author), Cesar, Pablo (author)Virtual reality (VR) is the experience in a simulated interactive virtual space. It provides synthetic sensory feedback to users' actions that can physically and mentally immerse the users. Social VR is one type of VR system that allows multiple users to join a collaborative virtual environment and communicate with each other, usually by...book chapter 2023

Qian, Z. (author), Deng, X. (author), Li, Z. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author)The rolling contact of elastic bodies (upper body and lower body) can be analyzed with the Hertz theory and the Kalker’s model. It is generally believed that the width of the contact area should be much smaller than the characteristic size of each elastic body, to ensure that the half-space assumption is valid. However the definition of “much...conference paper 2014

Li, Guangliang (author), Whiteson, Shimon (author), Dibeklioğlu, Hamdi (author), Hung, H.S. (author)Interactive reinforcement learning provides a way for agents to learn to solve tasks from evaluative feedback provided by a human user. Previous research showed that humans give copious feedback early in training but very sparsely thereafter. In this paper, we investigate the potential of agent learning from trainers’ facial expressions via...conference paper 2021

Zhang, Xiaoyu (author), Li, Jianping (author), Chi, Po Wei (author), Chandrasegaran, R.S.K. (author), Ma, Kwan Liu (author)With the most advanced natural language processing and artificial intelligence approaches, effective summarization of long and multi-topic documents - such as academic papers - for readers from different domains still remains a challenge. To address this, we introduce ConceptEVA, a mixed-initiative approach to generate, evaluate, and...conference paper 2023

Li, S. (author)In response to the pressing demand for elderly care, care robots, the robots used by care receivers and/or caregivers for care purposes in various settings, such as hospitals, nursing homes, and personal residences were introduced and have been gaining traction as a technological solution to improve care quality and to enhance the value of...doctoral thesis 2022

Li, X. (author)Fatigue damage of composite laminates has attracted considerable attention from research community and industry, in view that laminated structures are inevitable to suffer from fatigue loading during their service life. It is rather complicated to understand and explain, what governs the initiation, accumulation, interaction (synergy or...doctoral thesis 2022

Li, G. (author), Hung, H. (author), Bradley Knox, W. (author), Whiteson, S.A. (author)Learning from rewards generated by a human trainer ob- serving the agent in action has been demonstrated to be an effective method for humans to teach an agent to perform challenging tasks. However, how to make the agent learn most efficiently from these kinds of human reward is still under-addressed. In this paper, we investigate the effect of...journal article 2014

Li, Y. (author), Xiang, Pengcheng (author), You, Kairui (author), Guo, Jin (author)Mega infrastructure projects (MIPs) are exposed to numerous interdependent risks of various natures which pose difficulties in risk management. Thus far, the research on the risk interactions of MIPs has been focused on developing static risk networks within a single category of risks, at certain stages of the project. It is essential to...journal article 2022

Lai, F. (author), Liu, Songyu (author), Li, Yaoliang (author), Sun, Yanxiao (author)The development of installation technologies of open caissons has been lagging behind increasingly complex construction conditions. For such purpose, a new installation technology of large diameter deeply-buried (LDDB) open caissons has been developed and then used for construction of twin LDDB caissons into undrained ground with stiff soils...journal article 2022

However, the complex interactions between spacer and inorganic layers limit its excellent progress in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, starting from the considerable structural diversity of organic spacers, we...journal article 2022

Li, Xueliang Sean (author), Rozendaal, M.C. (author), Vermetten, Eric (author), Jansen, K.M.B. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author)Smart wearables are increasingly used to help people deal with stress. Still, a less explored area of research in this field concerns the partnerships that smart wearables can take on when engaging people in stress-coping activities. To facilitate further understanding of the human-wearable partnerships, we designed Grippy, a smart wearable...journal article 2022

Ni, Ying (author), Li, Y. (author), Yuan, Y. (author), Sun, Jian (author)In recent years, the interest in riding in cities using the two-wheeler (e.g., bicycles, electric bicycles, electric mopeds, etc.) increases. Mixed-traffic road segments are one of the most common traffic scenes where the mixed two-wheeler flows exist. Because the movements are often not restricted by lanes, the two-wheeler uses lateral road...journal article 2023

Zhang, P. (author), Li, S. (author), Li, Z. (author)Short pitch corrugation is a quasi-periodic rail defect that induces a high level of noise and accelerates track degradation. This paper proposes a methodology to mitigate short pitch corrugation by rail constraint design, including four steps. In Step 1, corrugation is numerically reproduced by employing a three-dimensional (3D) finite...journal article 2023

(author)Wheel-rail high-frequency interaction is closely related to the formation of railway short-wave defects. Finite element (FE) method has been widely used to simulate wheel-rail dynamic systems, but its validity in modelling high-frequency interaction has not been fully demonstrated in three dimensions (3D).

(author), Suzuki, T. (author)Coastal vegetation is efficient in damping incident waves even in storm events, thus providing valuable protections to coastal communities. However, large uncertainties lie in determining vegetation drag coefficients (C<sub>D</sub>), which are directly related to the wave damping capacity of a certain vegetated area. One major uncertainty is...journal article 2018
