Liang, Y. (author), Kleijn, R. (author), Tukker, A. (author), van der Voet, E. (author)Deployment of clean energy technologies will require a considerable amount of materials. The surge in demand for metals related to emerging energy technologies may hinder the energy transition. In this study we provide a comprehensive overview and analysis of existing work in this field, a solid quantitative baseline for material requirements of...article 2022

(author)People of low literacy could benefit from automated support when learning about societal participation. We design an Embodied Conversational Agent (ECA) ‘coach’ that can provide effective learning support to low-literate learners, develop a prototype virtual learning environment, and evaluate this prototype with low-literate end users. First, we...article 2022

(author)Offshore wind energy (OWE) is a cornerstone of future clean energy development. Yet, research into global OWE material demand has generally been limited to few materials and/or low technological resolution. In this study, we assess the primary raw material demand and secondary material supply of global OWE. It includes a wide assortment of...article 2022

Wissingh, B. (author), Ravesteijn, D. (author), Schwartz, R.S. (author)This paper presents field trial results of two combined use cases with different QoS requirements: (1) a transport vertical Smart Junction use case; and (2) a healthcare vertical Paramedic Support use case. We focus on slicing prioritization configured in the RAN, at the gNB level, to guarantee QoS requirements for the combined use cases. We...conference paper 2022

Human-centered XAI: Developing design patterns for explanations of clinical decision support systemsSchoonderwoerd, T.A.J. (author), Jorritsma, W. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), van den Bosch, K. (author)Much of the research on eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) has centered on providing transparency of machine learning models. More recently, the focus on human-centered approaches to XAI has increased. Yet, there is a lack of practical methods and examples on the integration of human factors into the development processes of AI-generated...article 2021

Schouten, D.G.M. (author), Massink, P. (author), Donker, S.F. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Cremers, A.H.M. (author)In this study, we attempt to specify the cognitive support behavior of a previously designed embodied conversational agent coach that provides learning support to low-literates. Three knowledge gaps are identified in the existing work: an incomplete specification of the behaviors that make up ‘support,’ an incomplete specification of how this...article 2021

Gunkel, S.N.B. (author)Virtual Reality (VR) applications are currently suffering several gaps to allow a full breakthrough in the consumer market. One aspect is the social isolation. Many VR experiences do not represent yourself or other users, making it lonely rather than a shared experience. VR applications that do offer a user representation mostly use artificial...conference paper 2019
