Bucher, Benedicte (author), Hein, C.M. (author), Raines, Dorit (author), Gouet Brunet, Valérie (author)This article addresses the integration of cultural perspectives in the smart city discourse and in the implementation of the UN Agenda 2030; it does so specifically with respect to land patterns and land use. We hope to increase the ability of relevant stakeholders, including scientific communities working in that field, to handle the complexity...journal article 2021

Sanusi, Khaleel Asyraaf Mat (author), Di Mitri, Daniele (author), Limbu, B.H. (author), Klemke, Roland (author)Beginner table-tennis players require constant real-time feedback while learning the funda-mental techniques. However, due to various constraints such as the mentor’s inability to be around all the time, expensive sensors and equipment for sports training, beginners are unable to get the immediate real-time feedback they need during training....journal article 2021

Nazeer, N. (author), Groves, R.M. (author)Abstract: Optical fibre sensors and in particular fibre Bragg gratings (FBG) have received a lot of interest for Structural Health Monitoring in different application fields, such as aerospace, pipeline and civil engineering. FBGs are conventionally used to monitor strain and sometimes temperature. In this paper, we propose a new method for...journal article 2021

Praharaj, S. (author), Scheffel, Maren (author), Schmitz, Marcel (author), Specht, M.M. (author), Drachsler, Hendrik (author)Collaboration is an important 21st Century skill. Co-located (or face-to-face) collaboration (CC) analytics gained momentum with the advent of sensor technology. Most of these works have used the audio modality to detect the quality of CC. The CC quality can be detected from simple indicators of collaboration such as total speaking time or...journal article 2021

Wang, X. (author), Qiao, T. (author), Zhu, Jihua (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Scharenborg, O.E. (author)Text-based technologies, such as text translation from one language to another, and image captioning, are gaining popularity. However, approximately half of the world's languages are estimated to be lacking a commonly used written form. Consequently, these languages cannot benefit from text-based technologies. This paper presents 1) a new...journal article 2021

(author), Kaya, Heysem (author), Poppe, Ronald (author), Salah, Albert Ali (author)Board games are fertile grounds for the display of social signals, and they provide insights into psychological indicators in multi-person interactions. In this work, we introduce a new dataset collected from four-player board game sessions, recorded via multiple cameras, and containing over 46 hours of visual material. The new MUMBAI dataset...journal article 2021

(author)Establishing adequate resection margins during colorectal cancer surgery is challenging. Currently, in up to 30% of the cases the tumor is not completely removed, which emphasizes the lack of a real-time tissue discrimination tool that can assess resection margins up to multiple millimeters in depth. Therefore, we propose to combine spectral...conference paper 2021

Wang, X. (author), Tian, Tian (author), Zhu, Jihua (author), Scharenborg, O.E. (author)In the case of unwritten languages, acoustic models cannot be trained in the standard way, i.e., using speech and textual transcriptions. Recently, several methods have been proposed to learn speech representations using images, i.e., using visual grounding. Existing studies have focused on scene images. Here, we investigate whether fine...conference paper 2021

Abdu, Rotem (author), van Helden, G. (author), Alberto, Rosa (author), Bakker, Arthur (author)In this paper, we combine dialogic and embodied theories of learning to create a unified analytic lens. Embodied cognition is a theoretical approach operating under the premise that thinking and communication are multimodal activities. Under this premise, dialogue between learners needs to be conceptualized using a multimodal lens. We identify...journal article 2021

de Groot, Marcel (author)Urban planners and decision-makers face several challenges in keeping cities liveable. Getting a well-working urban freight system is one of these underexposed challenges, where there is still a lack of knowledge and awareness among them. Current freight policies are insufficient to tackle the increasing negative externalities due to lack of...master thesis 2020

Numan, Nels (author)Virtual reality (VR) creates an exceptional experience in which users can explore virtual environments. Wearing a head-mounted display (HMD), users are able to observe a virtual world that is rendered based on their physical movement and actions. A common solution for capturing the visual and geometric information needed for the construction of...master thesis 2020

Tian, Tian (author)Visually grounded speech representation learning has shown to be useful in the field of speech representation learning. Studies of learning visually grounded speech embedding adopted speech-image cross-modal retrieval task to evaluate the models, since the cross-modal retrieval task allows to jointly learn both modalities and find their...master thesis 2020

Thirani, Kushal (author)This study proposes the creation of a multi-modal feedback system to guide humans towards ergonomic poses. A number of studies have tried to come up with methods where subjects are alerted upon crossing biomechanical or ergonomic thresholds while doing a task but not many have tried to successfully and efficiently guide users to ergonomic...master thesis 2020

Schuiling, J.H.N. (author)In this research, the link between air travel and the first/last mile trip with public transportation will be researched, as in practice, ticket platforms (such as Booking.com or Expedia) do not yet provide this integrated air- and public transport service. Eventually, the idea would be to create an integration platform that serves as a mediator...master thesis 2020
