Diese Doktorarbeit fokussiert sich auf den zweiten Teil der Karriere des Architekten Adolf Loos (1870-1933) zwischen 1918 und 1933. Von 1898 bis 1924 arbeitete Loos vor allem in Wien/Österreich, aber nachdem seine Gebäude und Vorträge mehrfach Skandale provoziert hatten (Goldman & Salatsch am Michaelerplatz 1910 u.a.), entschied er sich 1924, in Paris zu leben und zu arbeiten. Bevor er Wien...

Stochastic Optimization Problems take uncertainty into account. For this reason they are in general more realistic than deterministic ones, meanwhile, more difficult to solve. The challenge is both on modelling and computation aspects: exact methods usually work only for small instances, besides, there are several problems with no closed-form expression or hard- to-compute objective functions....

Linear barycentric rational interpolants are a particular kind of rational interpolants, defined by weights that are independent of the function f. Such interpolants have recently proved to be a viable alternative to more classical interpolation methods, such as global polynomial interpolants and splines, especially in the equispaced setting. Other kinds of interpolants might indeed suffer...

Learning features for object detection and recognition with deep learning has received increasing attention in the past several years and recently attained widespread popularity. In this PhD thesis we investigate its applications to the automatic surface inspection system of our industrial partner ArcelorMittal, for classification and segmentation problems. Currently employed algorithms, in...

One day there will be humanoid robots among us doing our boring, time-consuming, or dangerous tasks. They might cook a delicious meal for us or do the groceries. For this to become reality, many advances need to be made to the artificial intelligence of humanoid robots. The ever-increasing available computational processing power opens new doors for such advances. In this thesis we develop...

This study has examined how the ‘Ageing Society’ -a society with a rapidly ageing population, a growing share of older persons and a decreasing share of younger persons- and its implications for the Belgian population are represented in the Belgian quality newspaper De Standaard (2011-2013). As such, the study delivered first-time Belgian empirical findings about the coverage of the...

The idea of agents in superposition is central to both encapsulated observers, i.e. Wigner’s-friend-type experiments, and correlations without definite causal order. An agent might be regarded as a thinking or computing entity that is able to perform operations on (other) quantum systems. In case of Wigner’s-friend setups, an agent’s ability to make predictions about other agents...
