Automated Testing of Agent-Driven Construction in 3D Environments
(2025)Automating agents to build structures in video games is an underdeveloped topic that could provide many applications in automated video game playtesting as well as improving artificial intelligence for non-player characters. ... -
Eye Behavior in Cognitively Demanding Games
(2025)Eye-tracking technology has long been utilized in fields such as marketing and monetization, yet its application in game development remains relatively underexplored. Understanding players’ visual attention can provide ... -
Monkey Behavior Observer: Implementing Usability-enhancing Interactivity Features in Educational 360°videos for Animal Behavior Observation training
(2025)Immersive 360°videos offer promising applications in education, especially in domains requiring visual observation and contextual awareness, such as, in this case, animal behavior research. However, their passive nature ... -
Investigating the Impact of Gamification in Interactive Online Tutorials for Low-Code Development
(2025)As reliance on software grows, the demand for software developers continues to outpace supply. Simultaneously, increasingly specialized software requires greater involvement from domain experts without programming knowledge, ... -
Personalization of Affect Recognition Models Using Biosignals and Personality
(2025)Person-specific data for affect recognition models is scarce, and generalized models often struggle with accuracy due to individual differences. Cluster-based personalization has been proposed as a compromise between ... -
Addressing the User Experience Challenges in LLM Powered Chatbot through Prompt Engineering and Conversational
(2025)Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into tools for knowledge work, yetusers often struggle with unclear expectations and ambiguous communication when interacting withthese systems. This study explores ... -
Automated User Story Generation in Requirements Elicitation using Fine-Tuned Large Language Models
(2025)In software development, generating user stories from requirements elicitation interviews is a critical yet time-consuming and subjective task. Traditional methods often rely heavily on human interpretation, which can ... -
Keeping Score: Investigating the influence of scores and social comparison on user experience in an e-learning environment
(2025)This study investigates the impact of scores and social comparison on the motivation and experience of users in an e-learning environment. First two theoretical models are created to understand the different ways scores ... -
Decision-Making Framework for Modular Monoliths and Microservices
(2025)Choosing between a modular monolith and microservices is a impactful architectural decision, yet the literature offers no empirically grounded, structured approach to guide it. This thesis develops and validates a ... -
Exploring Bystander Perception and Responses to Toxicity in Online Multiplayer Games
(2025)In the modern age of online multiplayer gaming, toxicity in gaming communities has become a significant issue. This study focuses on the role of bystanders and investigates bystanders’ player experiences and decision-making ... -
Metrics and Benchmarks for Evaluating Dutch Prompt-Based Text-to-SQL Systems
(2025)This thesis introduces a Collaborative Role-Oriented Workflow for SQL generation (CROW-SQL), which is a modular multi-agent framework designed to improve the reliability, accuracy, and interpretability of Text-to-SQL ... -
Online Firefighting on Cactus Graphs
(2025)The FIREFIGHTER problem is a turn-based game on a graph in which a spreading fire must be contained by protecting vertices. We study the online variant, where each decision is made without knowledge of future events. While ... -
Exact algorithm for dominating set: the PACE challenge 2025
(2025)This thesis presents an exact adaptive algorithm for the minimum dominating set problem (MDS), developed as a submission for the exact track of the PACE 2025 challenge. The algorithm leverages key structural properties ... -
Domain adaptation in image classification of zooplankton
(2025)Automatic classification of zooplankton has been the focus of many studies due to the high cost, time consumption, and potential errors involved in expert labeling. Accurate classification of zooplankton is essential because ... -
Approaching External Function Calls in OOX Symbolic Execution to WebAssembly using Function Summaries to combat Path Explosion
(2025)After its creation in the 70s, symbolic execution has become a popular technique for verifying software with high confidence. This is an important technique to help prevent bugs in software. Bugs however, can have an ... -
On Stable Cutsets in General and Minimum Degree Constrained Graphs
(2025)A stable cutset is a set of vertices S of a connected graph, that is pairwise non-adjacent and when deleting S, the graph becomes disconnected. Determining the existence of a stable cutset in a graph is known to be ...
