Hybrid AI for sound event detection KU Leuven
Machine learning and more specifically deep learning has provided compelling solutions for automated interpretation of acoustic signals in a broad range of applications. However, for an appropriate performance large amounts of labeled training examples and substantial computational resources are required, which are difficult to obtain in many complex real-world domains. Among AI experts there is a growing consensus that, in order to make AI ...

Integrated process monitoring and control of active pharmaceutical ingredients production via tensor based data driven modeling methods. iMPC4API KU Leuven
General purpose
The ultimate goal of this project is to develop an advanced data driven modeling methodology for full scale plant-wide API production processes. The constructed models are intended for advanced monitoring and control of the processes, which are understood as integrated systems formed by multiple heterogeneous subsystems. Therefore the key aspect is learning the relationships between process variables along the process ...
Transmission and Transformation of European Church Types in China: The Churches of the Scheut Missions beyond the Great Wall, 1865-1955 KU Leuven
Personnel rostering: models and algorithms for scheduling, rescheduling and ensuring robustness KU Leuven
Existing academic literature contains a significant number of publications which address personnel rostering problems. Providing a variety of combinatorial optimization techniques such as metaheuristics, integer linear programming and hybrid algorithms developed to approach such problems. Despite this progress in recent decades, a considerable number of institutions continue to prepare and organize their rosters manually.
There are many ...
Pickup and Delivery Problem KU Leuven
Logistics is the backbone service on which most hospital activities depend and play a fundamental role in the daily operation of any hospital. In hospital, several internal logistic flows are distinguishable: the supply of clean linen, food, and medicine; correspondingly the retrieval of waste, dirty linen, food trays and used surgical instruments; and the transportation of patients from/to consultation, medical imaging, and surgeries. The ...
Personalized decision support models KU Leuven
Decision support systems are essential for managing an organization's operational and strategic processes. Although many of these systems model individual human beings, they do not take into account those individuals' unique characteristics. As a result, solutions generated are often infeasible for reasons such as ignoring personal habits. This dissertation explores two real-world cases in which accommodating such personalization is ...
Research project meals in kindergartens KU Leuven
The city of Ghent wants to have a participatory and practice-oriented research carried out in which it is investigated within which scenarios with which critical success factors in the Ghent context the consumption of a meal at school can be made possible for as many children as possible in kindergarten.
New design methodologies for hybrid solar harvesting installations KU Leuven
The development of novel types of solar energy systems is experiencing a boost in the last years. New materials that may lead to increased efficiency of solar energy harvesters, and new operation principles for solar energy harvesting that may result in uptake of the solar-based energy production are searched. For instance, different technologies such as BIPVT (building-integrated photovoltaic/thermal panels), vacuum PV/T panels, FGM ...
