General Reinforcement Learning Agents for Crop Management

Agriculture plays a vital role in the global economy, providing the necessary food and resources for human survival. With the world’s population projected to surge, the demand for food is set to escalate in the coming decades. This increasing demand, coupled with the challenges posed by climate change and the detrimental effects of pollution due...

Multi-Unit Floor Plan Recognition and Reconstruction

Automatically deriving 3D representations of buildings is a challenging problem which is at the base of a wide range of applications. The DE-RISC project aims to generate a 3D model of the entire city of Rotterdam in The Netherlands, enabling many of these applications. Generating a 3D model of a building can be done in a variety of ways, of...

Sharpening the Future of Occupancy Grid Map Prediction Methods: An Investigation into Loss Functions and Semantic Segmentation Multi-Task learning for More Accurate OGM Predictions

For an Autonomous Vehicle (AV) to traverse safely in traffic, It is vital it can anticipate the behavior of surrounding traffic participants using motion prediction. Current motion prediction approaches can be categorized into object-centered and object-agnostic methods and are primarily based on deep learning. The former relies on a human...

Road Detection from Remote Sensing Imagery

Road network maps facilitate a great number of applications in our everyday life. However, their automatic creation is a difficult task, and so far, published methodologies cannot provide reliable solutions. The common and most recent approach is to design a road detection algorithm from remote sensing imagery based on a Convolutional Neural...

Multi-task learning of transcriptomic signatures underlying cancer gene dependencies

Due to their altered genetic context, cancer cells can become dependent on specific genes for their survival. Such cancer-specific dependencies may represent promising therapeutic targets. However, knowledge on which molecular features of cancer cells induce specific dependencies is still limited and hampers the development of effective targeted...
