Anticipation: The key to success in sports and individuals with motor problems Ghent University
Anticipation is a prerequisite for successful performance in virtually all motor activities, whether it is crossing a street, writing, or picking up a cup. In this research project we will investigate the development of visual-cognitive functions underpinning anticipatory skill and how these functions may be trained to improve anticipatory skill.
Jeopardizing the Future? The anticipation of electoral accountability by politicians and their dealing with climate change. University of Antwerp
Between Climate Justice and Mobility Justice, Can Law Meet the Challenges Ahead? Anticipation and Solidarity in Question KU Leuven
Legal research on ‘climate migration’ relies on a shaky conceptualisation of the issue. From the perspective of migration law, it does not make sense to protect a category of migrants based on the reason why they moved in the first place: people decide to migrate for several interrelated reasons and have the same difficulties once on the road. From the perspective of environmental law, more consistency is needed. Some people face the same ...
Improving language understanding through common sense and anticipation enriched representation learning KU Leuven
Trying to see whether various downstream language understanding tasks can be improved upon using representations of the symbolic words that are 'anticipatory'.
The intended properties of these 'anticipatory representations' are:
- High-level: they should represent some high level semantic concept, e.g. a spatial/temporal relation between words
- Common sense: they should bring 'common sense', which humans get from living in ...
Refining our view on planet Mercury, in anticipation for the BepiColombo mission KU Leuven
As the inner-most object of our solar system, planet Mercury is of unique relevance for e.g., solar system dynamics, planetary formation theory, and terrestrial magnetic field generation. So far, two single (NASA) space missions to Mercury have been performed. In 2018, ESA and JAXA launched the more advanced dualsatellite BepiColombo to study Mercury from orbit. BepiColombo’s formal objectives have been formulated prior to NASA’s latest space ...
Commonsense and Anticipation enriched Learning of Continuous representations sUpporting Language UnderStanding KU Leuven
Natural language understanding (NLU) by the machine is of large scientific, economic and social value. Humans perform the NLU task in an efficient way by relying on their capability to imagine or anticipate situations. They engage commonsense and world knowledge that is often acquired through perceptual experiences to make explicit what is left implicit in language. Inspired by these characteristics CALCULUS will design, implement and ...
The temporal dynamics of emotion regulation: The role of emotion sensitivity and anticipation Ghent University
This project will focus on emotion regulation (ER), which is the ability to influence the experience and expression of emotions. Studies on ER typically focus on emotions during the presentation of an emotion eliciting event, but the knowledge that a negative event is approaching can already trigger initial negative feelings. Possibly, in some individuals, these initial negative emotions might facilitate dwelling on negative self-referential ...
