The recent advancements in machine learning (ML) techniques have significantly improved the performance in various natural language processing (NLP) tasks, particularly in deep learning with the transformer architecture. Despite their promising applications in different domains, these innovations have …

This documentation covers a feasability study on Computer Vision to register Data Matrix Codes using Machine learning. The documentation covers the topics of selecting the components of the system, the type of training data needed to train an Object Detection Model using Machine Learning, and the processes …

Robots are increasingly used in a variety of work environments, but surprisingly little attention has been paid to how robots change work. In this comparative case study, we explore how robotization changed the work design of order pickers and order packers in eight logistic warehouses. We found that …

Given the hospitality industry's quick rebound and volume growth in most OECD nations following the Great Recession, the hotel sector in the Netherlands is currently experiencing a severe labour shortage that predates the Covid-19 epidemic (Joppe, 2012). Staff shortages and cost-cutting measures in the …

Als docent Duits was Paul Halma betrokken bij het driejarige NRO-onderzoek Doeltaal Digitaal. In dit onderzoek leidde hij verschillende professionele leergemeenschappen waarin talendocenten van meerdere scholen werden getraind chattaken te ontwerpen en uit te voeren in de klas. In deze blog beschrijft …

On average 125 murders take place in the Netherlands on an annual basis. However, not all such incidents can be solved. Currently there are more than 1700 unsolved homicide cases on the shelf at the National Police that classify as a andapos;cold caseandapos;. Investigation into these types of capital …

Observational learning is considered powerful to promote (implicit) motor learning. While it is a common tool in practice, little is known about the effects of video instructions on movement execution. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of watching biomechanically optimal (OPT) and …

The potential for Artificial Intelligence is widely proclaimed. Yet, in everyday educational settings the use of this technology is limited. Particularly, if we consider smart systems that actually interact with learners in a knowledgeable way and as such support the learning process. It illustrates …

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, organisations have drastically started to reformulate the functionalities of their offices. The trend hybrid working has caused office buildings to have considerable low occupancy rates, as employees rather perform certain tasks at home and do not feel like the …

Wearable inertial sensors (WIS) facilitate the preservation of the athlete-environment relationship by allowing measurement outside the laboratory. WIS systems should be validated for team sports movements before they are used in sports performance and injury prevention research. The aim of the present …
