Open AccessEarly detection of colorectal cancer by leveraging Dutch primary care consultation notes with free text embeddings
We aimed to assess the added predictive performance that free-text Dutch consultation notes provide in detecting colorectal cancer in primary care, in comparison to currently used models. We developed, evaluat...

The Effectiveness of Phrase Skip-Gram in Primary Care NLP for the Prediction of Lung Cancer
Neural models that use context-dependency in the learned text are computationally expensive. We compare the effectiveness (predictive performance) and efficiency (computational effort) of a context-independent...

Online Adaptation of Path Formation in UAV Search-and-Identify Missions
In this paper, we propose a technique for optimisation and online adaptation of search paths of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in search-and-identify missions. In these missions, a UAV has the objective to se...

Modelling Dynamic Forgetting in Distributed Information Systems
We describe and model a new aspect in the design of distributed information systems. We build upon a previously described problem on the micro-level, which asks how quickly agents should discount (forget) their e...

Formal Analysis of Dynamics within Philosophy of Mind by Computer Simulation
Computer simulations can be useful tools to support philosophers in validating their theories, especially when these theories concern phenomena showing nontrivial dynamics. Such theories are usually informal, ...

Modeling the Dynamics of Task Allocation and Specialization in Honeybee Societies
The concept of organization has been studied in sciences such as social science and economics, but recently also in artificial intelligence [Furtado 2005, Giorgini 2004, and McCallum 2005]. With the desire to ana...

New Ways to Calibrate Evolutionary Algorithms
The issue of setting the values of various parameters of an evolutionary algorithm (EA) is crucial for good performance. One way to do it is by controlling EA parameters on-the-fly, which can be done in variou...

Trust-Based Inter-temporal Decision Making: Emergence of Altruism in a Simulated Society
This paper contributes to the analysis of the question how altruistic behaviour can be in an agent’s own interest. The question is addressed by involving a temporal dimension in which altruist behaviour at one...

Analysis of meeting protocols by formalisation, simulation, and verification
Organizations depend on regular meetings to carry out their everyday tasks. When carried out successfully, meetings offer a common medium for participants to exchange ideas and make decisions. However, many me...

Modeling centralized organization of organizational change
Organizations change with the dynamics of the world. To enable organizations to change, certain structures and capabilities are needed. As all processes, a change process has an organization of its own. In thi...

Reinforcement Learning for Online Control of Evolutionary Algorithms
The research reported in this paper is concerned with assessing the usefulness of reinforcment learning (RL) for on-line calibration of parameters in evolutionary algorithms (EA). We are running an RL procedur...

Modeling Decentralized Organizational Change in Honeybee Societies
Multi-agent organizations in dynamic environments, need to have the ability to adapt to environmental changes to ensure a continuation of proper functioning. Such adaptations can be made through a centralized ...

Collective Specialization for Evolutionary Design of a Multi-robot System
This research is positioned in the context of controller design for (simulated) multi-robot applications. Inspired by research in survey and exploration of unknown environments where a multi-robot system is to...

Simulation and Analysis of Shared Extended Mind
Some types of animals exploit patterns created in the environment as external mental states, thus obtaining an extension of their mind. In the case of social animals the creation and exploitation of such patte...

Modelling Shared Extended Mind and Collective Representational Content
Some types of animals exploit the external environment to support their cognitive processes, in the sense of patterns created in the environment that function as external mental states and serve as an extensio...

Organisational Change: Deliberation and Modification
For an information-agent-based system to support virtual (Internet-supported) organisations, changes in environmental conditions often demand changes in organisational behaviour, i.e., organisational changes. ...
