A Framework for Dynamic Task Allocation - Instantiated for Cognitive Task Load-based Adaptive Automation
(2013)As technology advances, artificial agents such as robots are increasingly deployed to work on tasks in complex and dynamically changing environments. Often these sophisticated robots work together with human agents in a ... -
A framework for sleep staging based on unobtrusive measurements
(2011)For diagnosis and research purposes, a person's sleep should be objectively quantified. Traditionally, sleep staging is performed by human experts via visual inspection of polysomnographic (PSG) data measured during the ... -
A temporal argumentation logic for medical diagnosis
(2012)Clinical decision support systems are systems purposed to improve clinical decision making by matching characteristics of patients to a knowledgebase and generating patient-specific recommendations. The focus of this thesis ... -
Adaptive Decision Support Systems using Cognitive Models of Trust
(2011)Decision support systems are becoming more important and more frequently used in every day life. These systems are also getting more complex and are providing more information at the same time. It is therefore more difficult ... -
Adaptive Learning in an Educational Game – Adapting Game Complexity to Gameplay Increases Efficiency of Learning
(2011)This thesis investigates the possibilities of adaptivity in an educational game called Code Red: Triage. This game lets players assume the role of a medical first responder who has to triage victims. A triage is a procedure ... -
Agent Organization Framework for Coordinated Multi-Robot Soccer
(2014)In this thesis my final Msc research project in Cognitive Artificial Intelligence is presented. The main issue adressed in this work is the problem of `ad hoc coordination'. Coordination in this context mainly is cooperation ... -
Angular distance between targets and non-targets influences the direction of early deviation in stylus-based hand trajectories
(2013)Research into saccadic eye trajectories has revealed much about the attentional mechanisms underlying target selection and distracter suppression. Previous research has supported the notion that a ... -
Anoniem Online. Hoe anonimiteit ons gedrag op het internet beïnvloedt en wat we ertegen kunnen doen
(2012)Anonimiteit wordt vaak als de schuldige aangewezen als het gaat om ongewenst gedrag op het internet. Maar in hoeverre beïnvloedt deze anonimiteit ons gedrag? Wat zijn de mogelijkheden om op te treden tegen deze anonimiteit? ... -
Automatic Assignment of Section Structure to Texts of Dutch Court Judgments
(2016)A growing amount of Dutch case law is openly distributed on Rechtspraak.nl. Currently, many documents are not marked up or marked up only very sparsely, hampering our ability to process these documents automatically. In ... -
Bare PPs from a Multilingual Perspective
(2010)When trying to understand what language is all about, prepositional phrases without a determiner (bare PPs) form an interesting hurdle. When one, for example, contrasts ‘John is in prison’ with ‘John is in a/the prison’, ... -
Coevolution of learning ability and neuro-cognitive organization
(2010)The environmental complexity thesis states that environmental complexity is the driving force behind the evolution of cognition. Herbert Spencer held a particularly strong version of this view, and believed ... -
Combining Teaching and Following in Repeated Games
(2011)In recent years, there has been a clear shift from single agent research to multiagent systems. Multiagent systems, in the broad sense, are systems that include multiple autonomous entities with either diverging information ... -
Conversational Fillers for Response Delay Amelioration in Child-Robot Interaction
(2014)Conversation Fillers (CFs) such as ”um”, ”hmm”, and ”ah” were tested alongside iconic pensive or acknowledging gestures for their ef- fectiveness at mitigating the negative effects associated with unwanted anthropomorphic ... -
Direct Probabilistic Semantics: A Contextualist Formal Semantic Model
(2013)This thesis should be viewed in the context of the debate that is currently going on in the field of philosophy of language: the debate on the question of how much influence the context in which a sentence is used has on ... -
Discrete states of consciousness
(2015) -
Effects of making unknown information explicit in computer-supported collaborative information retrieval. An empiric study in an urban search and rescue setting.
(2013)When actors have to perform tasks in a team, whether the actors are humans or robots, communication and cooperation is of utter importance. Adequate information sharing and handling by team members can increase the performance ... -
Evaluatie van twee typen neurale netwerken in een dynamische omgeving.
(2010)Deze MSc scriptie geeft verslag van het onderzoek naar de vraag of de leersnelheid van een neuraal netwerk dat stapsgewijs wordt opgebouwd met zowel input, hidden als output neuronen verbetert in vergelijking tot een niet ... -
Evolving an Artificial Real-Time Strategy Game Player
(2011)Computer-controlled opponents in commercial computer games are often unintelligent, but even more commonly extremely predictable in their behaviour. This detracts from the challenge of the game when playing against ... -
Exploiting Spatial Relations for Visual Cognitive Tasks
(2010)During visual search, humans rely on a combination of bottom-up and topdown cues to select the most promising places where to direct attention and gaze at. Bottom-up cues are often postulated to be saliency/conspicuity ...
