What if fanfiction, but also coding: Investigating cultural differences in fanfiction writing and reviewing with machine learning methods

How has the portrayal of female characters in fanfiction evolved in response to the #MeToo movement and fourth-wave feminism, as analyzed with the help of NLP techniques?

This paper explores how the portrayal of female characters in fanfiction evolved in response to the #MeToo movement and fourth-wave feminism, with the aim of assessing whether the impact of the awareness of the campaign was broad enough to visibly alter how the average author por ...
This study investigates how genre preferences and sentiment influence fanfiction popularity across multiple languages, focusing on English, Mandarin, Russian, and Spanish datasets. Leveraging advanced natural language processing techniques, including multilingual sentiment analys ...

What if fanfiction, but also coding: Investigating cultural differences in fanfiction writing and reviewing with machine learning methods

Fine Tuning a BERT-based Pre-Trained Language Model for Named Entity Extraction within the Domain of Fanfiction

The introduction of Pretrained Language Models (PLMs) has revolutionised the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and paved the way for many new, exciting large-scale studies for various areas of research. One such field presents itself in the emerging digital literary corp ...
It is commonly believed that image recognition based on RGB improves when using RGB-D, ie: when depth information (distance from the camera) is added. Adding depth should make models more robust to appearance variations in colors and lighting; to recognize shape and spatial relat ...

Accelerating hyperbolic t-SNE

Quadtree generalization for the upper half-plane model

Dimensionality reduction is essential for analyzing high-dimensional datasets across various fields. While t-SNE is a popular method for this purpose in Euclidean spaces, recent advancements suggest that hyperbolic spaces can better represent hierarchical structures. However, the ...

Agent-Based Social Skills Training Systems: A Comprehensive Analysis of Commercial Solutions

What commercially available training systems are out there and how do they model their agents and feedback?

Agent-based social skills training systems have been gaining attention for their potential to improve social skills development in various contexts. Through a rapid review methodology, data was collected from diverse sources, including company websites and research papers. This s ...

The noticeability of behavioral changes of a conversational agent

An evaluation of an agent-based social skills training system

Helpline counselors can be trained faster using agent-based social skills training systems. These systems utilize conversational agents that simulate interactions with users and provide feedback. This research evaluates the noticeability of behavior changes in such a conversation ...
The aim of this research is to evaluate the believability of Lilobot, a conversational agent meant to act as a virtual child for training helpline workers. Numerous aspects of believability are explored by means of a user study involving a questionnaire and interview with 10 part ...
The goal of this project was to simulate the colour change over time of Girl with a Pearl Earring from Johannes Vermeer. Using art history knowledge and computational methods this was proven to be possible. The combination of these methods is unique and promising.

As a ...
The Hierarchical Subspace Iteration Method is a novel method used to compute eigenpairs of the Laplace-Beltrami problem. It reduces the number of iterations required for convergence by restricting the problem to a smaller space and prolonging the solution as a starting point. Thi ...
Virtual worlds are rapidly increasing in size, enabled by advancements in computing technology, which puts a large burden on designers creating them.
Procedural Content Generation can help alleviate this burden, though lacks precise control, to the detriment of designer inten ...
In this work, we present VisuaLayered, the implementation of a combined analysis workflow for pigment identification. VisuaLayered is an integrated, interactive system that focuses on the combined visual analysis of Macro X-Ray Fluorescence (MA-XRF) and Reflectance Imaging Spectr ...
This paper accelerates the rendering of diffusion curves using the ray tracing cores found on modern NVIDIA graphics cards using the method described by Bowers et al. [Bowers, Leahey and Wang 2011]. This method approximates the final result of the Poisson equation and in this pap ...
This research builds upon a previous method of vectorisation of pixel art by pixel neighbour connecting and boundary energy minimisation. The downside of the previous method is the lack of user input throughout the process and possible divergence between the results and the artis ...
Video-streaming services usually feature post-processing effects to replace the background. However, these often yield inconsistent lighting. Machine-learning-based relighting methods can address this problem, but, at real-time rates, are restricted to a low resolution and can re ...
Suppose we have a target radiance distribution, a light source, and a plane for receiving light. How do we design a reflector that can give a similar result as the target radiance distribution? The inverse reflector problem is of high interest for light designers and related indu ...
Gait impairments negatively affect patients’ walking ability, without which they tend to suffer from a higher risk of falling and a lower quality of life. Repetitious training is necessary for patients to regain and maintain this ability. Compared with the conventional rehabilita ...
Mathematics education plays an essential role in children’s development. In the past few years, online mathematics learning has gained increasing popularity. The online learning platform needs a large variety of textual and visual content to offer children a convenient learning ...
Principal component analysis (PCA) is commonly used in the fields of computer graphics and geometry processing for constructing subspaces that represent the variability present in a dataset. Examples of such datasets are configurations of a non-rigid object, poses of a deformable ...

Localized Tangential Vector Fields for the use in Tangent Vector Field Design

A Vector Field Design Approach with the use of Localized Basis Fields

The use of tangential vector fields and thus the need for designing them has steadily been increasing over the years. In this master thesis, a method is proposed and implemented that defines localized tangential vector fields on a mesh surface, which allows for the designing of v ...
