SFILES 2.0: an extended text-based flowsheet representation

SFILES are a text-based notation for chemical process flowsheets. They were originally proposed by d’Anterroches (Process flow sheet generation & design through a group contribution approach) who was inspired by the text-based SMILES notation for molecules. The text-based format has several advantages compared to flowsheet images...

Automated Customer Complaint Processing for Water Utilities Based on Natural Language Processing—Case Study of a Dutch Water Utility

Most water utilities have to handle a substantial number of customer complaints every year. Traditionally, complaints are handled by skilled staff who know how to identify primary issues, classify complaints, find solutions, and communicate with customers. The effort associated with complaint processing is often great, depending on the number...

Recent advances to accelerate purification process development: A review with a focus on vaccines

The safety requirements for vaccines are extremely high since they are administered to healthy people. For that reason, vaccine development is time-consuming and very expensive. Reducing time-to-market is key for pharmaceutical companies, saving lives and money. Therefore the need is raised for systematic, general and efficient process...

Prototyping in social VR: Anticipate the unanticipated outcomes of interactions between AI-powered solutions and users.

Interactions of users with AI powered solutions (AIPS) have the potential to affect collective behaviours and amplify unanticipated outcomes. Product developers, organisations, and companies are increasingly being expected to take responsibility for the unanticipated outcomes of their products. In this paper we explore a proactive approach to...

Source deghosting of coarsely sampled common-receiver data using a convolutional neural network

It is well known that source deghosting can best be applied to common-receiver gathers, whereas receiver deghosting can best be applied to common-shot records. The source-ghost wavefield observed in the common-shot domain contains the imprint of the subsurface, which complicates source deghosting in the common-shot domain, in particular when the...

Multi-sensor data fusion in a distributed environment; architectural solutions

The human operator observing the real world is confronted with a huge amount of data from multiple sensors observing that world. Multi-sensor data fusion (MSDF) is one of the emerging fields in advanced information processing, concerned with fusing sensor data from these multiple sensors. Automated MSDF can help the operator by processing sensor...
