Investigating the predictive performance of computational process activity-based transportation models Hasselt University
The aim of this paper is to achieve a better understanding of computational process activity-based models, by identifying factors that influence the predictive performance of A Learning-based Transportation Oriented Simulation System model. Therefore, the work activity process model, which includes six decision steps, is investigated. The manner of execution in the process model contains two features, activation dependency and attribute ...
Pro-Environmental Potential in Activity-Travel Routine of Individuals:A Data Driven Computational Algorithm Hasselt University
Informational interventions are considered important to bring positive changes in attitudes and perception about pro-environmental life styles among individuals. In relation to mobility aspects, it is vital to identify relatively easier changes that have potential to reduce negative impacts of mobility on environment and individual health. This paper provides a comprehensive methodological framework and developed a computation algorithm that ...
The chromatographic performance of flow-through particles: A computational fluid dynamics study Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The performance of flow-through particles has been studied by computational fluid dynamics. Computational fluid dynamics simulations was used to calculate the flow behaviour around and inside the particles rather than estimate it. The obtained flow field has been used to accurately simulate plate heights generated by flow-through particles and compare them to standard fully porous particles. The effects of particle size, particle porosity and ...
Computational Construction Grammar for Visual Question Answering Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In order to be able to answer a natural language question, a computational system needs three main capabilities. First, the system needs to be able to analyse the question into a structured query, revealing its component parts and how these are combined. Second, it needs to have access to relevant knowledge sources, such as databases, texts or images. Third, it needs to be able to execute the query on these knowledge sources. This paper focuses ...
High dimensional surrogacy: computational aspects of an upscaled analysis Hasselt University KU Leuven
Identification of genomic biomarkers is an important area of research in the context of drug discovery experiments. These experiments typically consist of several high dimensional datasets that contain information about a set of drugs (compounds) under development. This type of data structure introduces the challenge of multi-source data integration. High-Performance Computing (HPC) has become an important tool for everyday research tasks. In ...
Computational legalism and the affordance of delay in law Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Delay is a central element of law-as-we-know-it: the ability to interpret legal norms and contest their requirements is contingent on the temporal spaces that text affords citizens. As more computational systems are introduced into the legal system, these spaces are threatened with collapse, as the immediacy of ‘computational legalism’ dispenses with the natural ‘slowness’ of text. In order to preserve the nature of legal protection, we need to ...
Computational and Biological Analogies for Understanding Fine-Tuned Parameters in Physics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In this paper, we explore computational and biological analogies to tackle the fine tuning problem in cosmology. It states that if a number of parameters, both constants in physics and initial parameters in Big Bang models had been slightly different, no life or more generally no complexity would have emerged. We first clarify what it means for a physical constant or initial parameter to be "fine tuned". We review important distinctions such as ...
Computational intelligence algorithms analysis for smart grid cyber security Ghent University
The cyber attack risks are threatening the smart grid security. Malicious worm could spread from meter to meter to take out power in a simulated attack. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has thus developed several iterations of cyber security standards. According to the NERC cyber standards CIP-002-2 requirements, in this paper, we present cyber security risk analysis using computational intelligence methods and review ...
