Open science aims to improve research accessibility, replicability, and consequently its quality. Empirical software engineering entails both data and artifacts, which may be shared more or less openly, to support transparency. However, the trade-offs involved in balancing the openness against integrity and secrecy concerns need methodological guidance. Aim. We aim to derive such advice, based on

The value problem for knowledge is the problem of explaining why knowledge is more valuable than mere true belief. The problem arises for reliabilism in particular, i.e., the externalist view that knowledge amounts to reliably acquired true belief. Goldman and Olsson argue that knowledge, in this sense, is more valuable than mere true belief due to the higher likelihood of future true beliefs (pro

Structure-from-Motion (SfM) has become a ubiquitous tool for camera calibration and scene reconstruction with many downstream applications in computer vision and beyond. While the state-of-the-art SfM pipelines have reached a high level of maturity in well-textured and well-configured scenes over the last decades, they still fall short of robustly solving the SfM problem in challenging scenarios.

In this paper, we speed up robust two-view relative pose from dense correspondences. Previous work has shown that dense matchers can significantly improve both accuracy and robustness in the resulting pose. However, the large number of matches comes with a significantly increased runtime during robust estimation in RANSAC. To avoid this, we propose an efficient match summarization scheme which pro

Eye movements do more than gather visual input – they actively contribute to the formation and retrieval of relational memories by linking information across space and time. During retrieval, gaze patterns often reflect memory reactivation well before an explicit response is made, a phenomenon known as the relational eye-movement effect. While this effect appears closely associated with hippocampa

Eye movements originally made during memory formation are often spontaneously reproduced during retrieval, even in the absence of visual input, directing gaze back to the locations where goal-relevant episodic information was previously encountered. This behavior, known as gaze reinstatement, is thought to support the reactivation of episodic content associated with those locations (e.g., Johansso

A multi-variable adaptive controller is derived as the explicit solution to a minimax dynamic game. The minimizing player selects the control action as a function of past state measurements and inputs. The maximizing player selects disturbances and model parameters for the underlying linear time-invariant dynamics. This leads to a Bellman equation that can be solved explicitly for the case with un

Context:Bug reports created during software development and maintenance do not always describe deviations from a system’s valid behavior. Such invalid bug reports may consume significant resources and adversely affect the prioritization and resolution of valid bug reports. There is a need to identify preventive actions to reduce the inflow of invalid bug reports. Existing research has shown that m

We are working towards a mixed reality-based human-robot collaboration interface using gaze and gesture as methods of communicating intent in a search and rescue scenario to optimize the operation. The lack of mature algorithms and control schemes for autonomous systems makes it still difficult for them to operate safely in high-risk environments. We are approaching the problem through symbiosis w

We coordinate interconnected agents where the control input of eachagent is limited by the control input of others. In that sense, the sys-tems have to share a limited resource over a network. Such problems canarise in different areas and it is here motivated by a district heating ex-ample. When the shared resource is insufficient for the combined needof all systems, the resource will have to be s

When talking about products, people often express their needs in vague terms with vocabulary that does not necessarily overlap with product descriptions written by retailers. This poses a problem for chatbots in online shops, as the vagueness and vocabulary mismatch can lead to misunderstandings. In human-human communication, people intuitively build a common understanding throughout a conversatio

Psychedelic substances have in recent years attracted considerable interest as potential treatments for several psychiatric conditions, including depression, anxiety, and addiction. Imaging studies in humans point to a number of possible mechanisms underlying the acute effects of psychedelics, including changes in neuronal firing rates and excitability as well as alterations in functional connecti

The profound changes in perception and cognition induced by psychedelic drugs are thought to act on several levels, including increased glutamatergic activity, altered functional connectivity and an aberrant increase in high-frequency oscillations. To bridge these different levels of observation, we have here performed large-scale multi-structure recordings in freely behaving rats treated with 5-H

It is shown that the behavior of an m-port circuit of maximal monotone elements can be expressed as a zero of the sum of a maximal monotone operator containing the circuit elements, and a structured skew-symmetric linear operator representing the interconnection structure, together with a linear output transformation. The Condat–Vũ algorithm solves inclusion problems of this form, and may be used

In the realm of cloud computing, the prevalence of intra-phase congestion due to concurrent periodic requests from a multitude of clients frequently results in heightened resource consumption, elongated queuing times, and prolonged response durations. To tackle these challenges, this paper presents a groundbreaking 'Adaptive Out-of-Phase Scheduling' technique, utilizing a server-side PID controlle

The ability to learn new tasks and quickly adapt to different variations or dimensions is an important attribute in agile robotics. In our previous work, we have explored Behavior Trees and Motion Generators (BTMGs) as a robot arm policy representation to facilitate the learning and execution of assembly tasks. The current implementation of the BTMGs for a specific task may not be robust to the ch

The assignment of products to storage locations significantly impacts the efficiency of warehouse operations. We propose a multi-phase optimizer for a Storage Location Assignment Problem (SLAP) where solution quality is based on a distance estimate of future-forecasted order picking. Candidate assignments are first sampled using a Markov Chain accept/reject method. Future-forecasted pick-rounds ar

Using hydraulic models in control design in district heating networks can increase pumping efficiency and reduce sensitivity to hydraulic bottlenecks. These models are usually white-box, as they are obtained based on full knowledge of the district heating network and its parameters. This type of model is time-consuming to obtain, and might differ from the actual behavior of the system. In this pap

This paper focuses on the investigation of a sequential detection policy for combating the effect of the replay attack on a cloud-native controller. In reply attacks, an external attacker records true signals for some time duration and replays them later. The effect of such an attack is mitigated by adding random signals to the optimal control signal before the actuation process, which is known as

Over the last century, many women have contributed to the field of control engineering. Nevertheless, women are generally in the minority. This article highlights the contribution of women since the inception of control engineering to highlight good exemples to coming generations. A repository of portraits of women in control engineering is currently being curated and made available through the un
