Croft, Maxime (author)This paper presents a novel approach to regional forecasting of SARS-Cov-2 infections one week ahead, which involves developing a municipality level COVID-19 dataset of the Netherlands and using a spatio-temporal graph neural network (GNN) to predict the number of infections. The developed model captures the spread of infectious diseases within...master thesis 2023

Kathmann, Y. (author)This thesis aims to combine visual data and distance measurements from a Laser Range Finder (LRF) to recognise the presence of humans. The data from the LRF is used to find regions of interest in order to reduce the load on the visual data analysis. Deep learning convolutional neural networks have shown incredible results on visual recognition...master thesis 2017

van der Kooij, Eva (author)Accurate short-term forecasts, also known as nowcasts, of heavy precipitation are desirable for creating early warning systems for extreme weather and its consequences, e.g. urban flooding. In this research, we explore the use of machine learning for short-term prediction of heavy summer rainfall showers in the Netherlands. We explore the use of...master thesis 2021

Bagchi, Madhubanti (author)Recently non-image-based data capturing methods such as sensors like RF, ultrasonic or radars, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc for People Counting (PC) applications have gained momentum as an alternative to camera-based systems due to the preference for privacy preservation. Among them mm-wave radars are a strong choice for data capture since they consume...master thesis 2023

Martinez Claramunt, F. (author)Multi-robot motion planning without a central coordinator usually relies on the sharing of planned trajectories among the robots via wireless communication in order to achieve predictive collision avoidance. Path planners found in the literature that feature this scheme usually boast levels of performance comparable with their centralized...master thesis 2020

Lin, Nan (author)Modular neural networks have received an upsurge of attention lately owing to their unique modular design and potential capacity to decompose complex dynamics and learn interactions among causal variables. Inspired by this potential, we employ the recently introduced Recurrent Independent Mechanisms (RIMs) in the downstream video prediction task...master thesis 2022

Verkerk, Gertjan (author)Despite the increasing amount of automation in manual control tasks, such as driving a car or piloting an aircraft, the human ability to adapt to unexpected events still makes us an essential part of the control loop. Before we can remove the human completely, a better understanding of this unique characteristic is necessary so that we can apply...master thesis 2021

Dijkstra, Fokke (author)A variety of statistical methods are available to detect sudden changes, or breakpoints, in time series when used as multi-temporal change detection technique. However, these methods are unreliable in the presence of noise. Neural nets might detect breakpoints better. These deep learning models are able to generalize and optimize well, even in...master thesis 2020

Zhou, Zequn (author)Urban areas are rapidly expanding in developing countries. One of goals of the United Nations Human Settlement Programme (UN-Habitat) is to understand and guide urban development for some developing regions.<br/>Currently, the approaches that UN-Habitat is using cost plenty of workforce, material, and time. Therefore, UN-Habitat is interested in...master thesis 2019

Lampe, Reinoud (author)Reducing fuel consumption is an increasingly important topic within aviation. One approach to accomplish this goal is reducing excess fuel weight being loaded on aircraft. Flight dispatchers and pilots load extra fuel to account for uncertainties present in trip fuel consumption, which is currently computed by the flight planning system (FPS)....master thesis 2022

Yang, Ximei (author)Nowadays, radar has been applied to human activity classification in the aging-in-place for health monitoring. The complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) have been only minimally explored, especially on complex-valued radar signals, and there is an outstanding question on whether CVNNs can contribute to improving classification performance. This...master thesis 2021

Yin, Rukai (author)System Dynamics (SD) is an approach to study the nonlinear behaviour of complex systems over time. SD models provide a highlevel understanding of the system and aid in designing policies to achieve specific system behaviours. Conventional SD modelling requires an intensive amount of time, human resources and effort. Applying Machine Learning ...master thesis 2020

Willemse, Jeroen (author)Introduction Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed type of cancer in women in 2020. Treatment and prognosis of breast cancer is highly dependent on early and accurate diagnosis. In recent years, many studies have evaluated the use of artificial intelligence for the detection of breast cancer in mammographic images. Another imaging...master thesis 2021
