Kunnen we met onze gemoedstoestand apparaten beïnvloeden? Welke bruikbare stoffen kun je uit urine halen? Kun je artificial intelligence om de tuin leiden? Hoe ontstaat en verandert een taal? Zomaar greep uit de vragen die de wetenschappers van Lowlands Science tijdens Lowlands 2019 proberen te beantwoorden. …

Now that the application of Artificial Intelligence (Al) is becoming more mainstream, it is applied in many different fields, and consequently, it is starting to play a more prominent role in design processes. In current mainstream HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) design frameworks, the human …

Abstraction is considered an essential aspect of computational thinking. Primary schools are starting to include computational thinking into the curriculum. However, in order to guide their support, teachers need to know how to recognize abstraction. In this paper, we present how we can observe abstraction …

Many attempts have been made to build an artificial brain. This paper aims to contribute to the conceptualization of an artificial learning system that functionally resembles an organic brain in a number of important neuropsychological aspects. Probably the techniques (algorithms) required are already …

Analysis of spontaneous speech is an important tool for clinical linguists to diagnose various types of neurodegenerative disease that affect the language processing areas. Prosody, fluency and voice quality may be affected in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD, degradation of voice quality, unstable …

It is essential to collect the right amount of data: enough for distinctions in the data to become meaningful, but not so much that the data collection becomes too expensive or places an undue burden on participants. The latter …

AI wordt al met succes toegepast in E-discovery als machinelearningtechniek ten behoeve van predictive coding om slimmer e-mails en documenten te filteren en te clusteren. AI wordt ook al ingezet door opsporingsinstanties bij het automatisch zoeken naar afbeeldingen met wapens, drugs en bloot en naar …
