The impact of language family on D2T generation in under-resourced languages
(2024)The paper delves deep into the challenges and methods of generating text from structured data(RDF triples) for under-resourced languages based on the WebNLG challenge. The main question of this paper is to assess how important ... -
Towards Interpretable Multimodal Models for Emotion Recognition
(2024)The contents of this thesis focus on the development and evaluation of an interpretable multimodal model for emotion recognition in collaboration with the Dutch Institute of Sound & Vision. The state-of-the-art multimodal ... -
A spatio-temporal network epidemiological agent-based modelling approach for mapping risk and exposure of viruses
(2024)With the globalization of the world, the ability to contain viruses becomes more important. Modeling the spread of a virus is a great tool for understanding how to prevent future epidemics from happening. This thesis ... -
Performance of LLM-written text detectors across domains and under adversarial attack
(2024)Large Language Models (LLMs) have greatly improved the diversity and quality of machine-generated text. So much so that humans score at chance when distinguishing human-written texts from LLM-generated texts. Associated ... -
Using LTLf/LDLf Synthesis Algorithms to Handle Goal Change in Autonomous Agents -- Implementation and Experiments
(2024)In this research, we propose a formal definition for an intention management system (IMS) which an agent can use within a FOND domain for managing its intentions. These intentions can be expressed as any LTLf expression, ... -
Enhancing a Time-Independent CFD Solver with Moving Boundaries and Solids
(2024)Computational Fluid Dynamics solvers are a widely used tool to simulate the flow of a fluid and the motion of objects. When working with a time independent solver, computing object motion requires additional steps. In this ... -
Enhancing 360-Degree Video Collection Exploration: A Novel Interface for Immersive Browsing in Virtual Reality
(2024)Browsing 360-degree video libraries in virtual reality is commonly approached with a traditional two-dimensional grid presenting equirectangular or custom thumbnails, similar to how traditional videos are presented. However, ... -
1892 - What was the role of the PUG at the excavations in Vechten between 1892 and 1894, and how did it contribute to the development of Limes-research in Utrecht? [Sem van Horssen, 6769578]
(2024)In this thesis, the role of the Provinciaal Utrechts Genootschap (PUG) in the excavations in Vechten between 1892 and 1894 will be analysed. Their influence on the conclusions drawn during the project, as well as their ... -
VIVE: An LLM-based approach to identifying and extracting context-specific personal values from text
(2024)Personal values are referenced in natural language text through subtle cues that indicate a person’s priorities and beliefs. Understanding these values requires advanced natural language understanding to correctly interpret ... -
Medieval Parables in Communist Albania
(2024)A compelling aspect of Ismail Kadare’s career, is that this author managed to write fiercely anti-totalitarian novels while evading the censorship of Albania’s communist dictatorship. This thesis analyses how Kadare evaded ... -
Dynamic Task Allocation for Efficient Container Handling at ECT Delta Terminal
(2024)This thesis addresses the problem of Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) scheduling by employing a Multi-Agent pickup and delivery problem (MAPD) formulation, which we identified as a good approach compared to the other approaches ... -
Digital Transformation progress in Local Governments through Critical Success Factors
(2024)This thesis dives into the digital transformation of local governments with a particular focus on the municipality of Soest in the Netherlands. It seeks to identify and analyze critical success factors (CSFs) such as ... -
Facing Your Self: Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment in Hades via Deep Player Behavior Modeling
(2024)This master's thesis explored the development and evaluation of enhancing Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment (DDA) with Deep Player Behavior Modeling (DPBM) in the context of video games. The DPBM approach of this thesis is ... -
