Predicting Bottom Current Deposition and Erosion
(2024)With the growing need for ocean infrastructure development, geo-resource extraction, sustainable energy solutions, and seafloor slope stability, iden- tifying zones of sediment deposition and erosion caused by ocean bottom ... -
Layer-Specific Contributions to Priming of Pop-Out Effects in Macaque Cortex: An LFP Power and Functional Connectivity Analysis
(2024)Investigating the effects of priming of pop-out in the visual cortex offers valuable insights into neural processing because it can reveal the dynamics of how the cortex handles sensory information. The primary objective ... -
Coverage of the Dutch nitrogen crisis in Dutch newspapers between 2019 and 2024
(2024)The news media play an important role to assist citizens in becoming informed about crises, which allows them to evaluate the causes and responsibilities. When publishing news, news media can utilise frames to influence ... -
Identifying Caring Communities Within Dutch Chamber Of Commerce Data: A Classifier Comparison
(2024)This paper aimed to determine the most effective classifier for identifying registered 'caring communities' using data from the Dutch Chamber of Commerce. I optimized and assessed the performance of four classifiers: ... -
Handling Missing Values in Relational Event History Data using Multiple Imputation: A Framework in Social Network Research
(2024)Background - Missing data is a problem that is common. It affects the accuracy and introduces biases in social network analysis, which can have a significant effect on the interpretation of findings. Relational event ... -
Named Entity Recognition and Relation Extraction with a Transformer-Based Model
(2024)One of the tasks of natural language processing (NLP) is information extraction, which aims to transform unstructured text data into structured information. Key components of this task include Named Entity Recognition (NER) ... -
Hybrid Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Machine Learning for Airflow Simulation Over Coastal Terrain
(2024)In recent years, Physics Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have emerged as a powerful tool for solving complex partial differential equations (PDEs) governing physical phenomena. While numerous studies have explored the ... -
The Impact of Role Mining on Link Prediction in Financial Graph Networks
(2024)This thesis investigates the effects of role mining on learning-based link prediction models in financial graph networks. Link prediction is utilised in the financial domain for predicting transactions and finding anomalies. ... -
Identifying Key Predictors of Firm Performance: An Analysis Using Machine Learning Models
(2024)This study explores the importance of worker bodies in combination with 67 other features on firm performance using the data from the European Company Survey (ECS) 2019 dataset. The scope of this study is limited to the ... -
Comparing Text Representations: In Search Of Caring Communities
(2024)Multiple text representation techniques ( BERT, word2vec, LDA topics etc) are compared for a text classification task. This classification task involves identifying caring communities from Dutch Chamber of Commerce data ... -
Class groups of global fields
(2024)In this thesis we study the class group of quadratic number fields and function fields over finite fields. Mostly we focus on the 2-primary part of the class group. Methods to calculate the 2-, 4-, and 8-rank of these class ... -
GVR: A Recommendation Tool for Knowledge Graph Visualizations
(2024)Knowledge graphs, which represent complex data through nodes and edges, offer immense potential for analysis but pose challenges in understanding desired outcomes. Visualizations serve as a crucial tool that enhances acces- ... -
Enhancing Readability of Governmental Letters Using Large Language Models
(2024)Text simplification aims to make text more readable by reducing the linguistic complexity. This study explores the use of sequence-to-sequence transformer models to simplify Dutch governmental letters, enhancing their ... -
Optimizing Parking Fees for Park & Ride Facilities; Recalibrating parking fees to disincentives car usage while ensuring viability for those with limited public transport access
(2024)The rapid increase in motor vehicle ownership has resulted in significant challenges for city planners. The establishment of Park and Ride (P&R) facilities on the outskirts of cities has proven to be a viable option for ... -
Synthetic network generation for financial data
(2024)This thesis presents a novel approach to generating synthetic transaction networks. The research focuses on developing a graph-based generative model capable of replicating charac- teristics observed in real-world financial ...
