A Conceptual Framework for Integrating Conversational Agents in Digital Education

Juan Carlos Farah

The presence of conversational agents (or chatbots) in educational contexts has been steadily increasing over the past few years. Recent surveys have shown widespread interest in the use of chatbots in education, both for research and practice. Although th ...

The arrow-of-time in neuroimaging time series identifies causal triggers of brain function

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Enrico Amico, Raphaël Pierre Liégeois

Moving from association to causal analysis of neuroimaging data is crucial to advance our understanding of brain function. The arrow-of-time (AoT), that is, the known asymmetric nature of the passage of time, is the bedrock of causal structures shaping phy ...

OASIS: Optimisation-based Activity Scheduling with Integrated Simultaneous choice dimensions

Michel Bierlaire, Timothy Michael Hillel, Janody Pougala

Activity-based models offer the potential of a far deeper understanding of daily mobility behaviour than trip-based models. However, activity-based models used both in research and practice have often relied on applying sequential choice models between sub ...

Risk of incorrect choices due to uncertainty in BPS evaluations of conceptual-stage neighbourhood-scale building designs

Marilyne Andersen, Luisa Pastore, Minu Agarwal

At the conceptual stage, building performance simulation (BPS) based evaluations are being increasingly used for tasks such as ranking of competing massing design proposals. However, such conceptual stage evaluations suffer from information deficiency in b ...

Max-infinitely divisible models and inference for spatial extremes

Raphaël Huser, Emeric Rolland Georges Thibaud

For many environmental processes, recent studies have shown that the dependence strength is decreasing when quantile levels increase. This implies that the popular max-stable models are inadequate to capture the rate of joint tail decay, and to estimate jo ...

Systems Engineering Approach to Identify Requirements for Digital Twins Development

Dimitrios Kyritsis, Jinzhi Lu

Digital Twins (DT) are proposed in industries to support the entire lifecycle of services with different perspectives. Lack of systematic analysis of DT concepts leads to various definitions and services which challenges the DT developers for data integrat ...

A Novel Approach to Modeling Enterprise Services Leveraging Object Cloning and Multilevel Classification

Alain Wegmann

Object-oriented modeling is concerned with capturing common properties of objects. The dominant thinking in this realm is to classify objects that share certain properties into what is called a class, which in turn enables us to instantiate additional obje ...

On flow duration curve modelling in Alpine catchments

Ana Clara Pereira Barbosa Santos

Mountain regions are considered to be the natural "water towers" of the world due to their importance as sources of many rivers. Reliable tools to estimate the availability and variability of streamflows in such regions are still rare. In this context, the ...

Rainfall as a driver of epidemic cholera: Comparative model assessments of the effect of intra-seasonal precipitation events

Andrea Rinaldo, Francisco Javier Perez Saez, Joseph Chadi Benoit Lemaitre, Damiano Pasetto

The correlation between cholera epidemics and climatic drivers, in particular seasonal tropical rainfall, has been studied in a variety of contexts owing to its documented relevance. Several mechanistic models of cholera transmission have included rainfall ...

Multiclass Speed-Density Relationship for Pedestrian Traffic

Michel Bierlaire, Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent, Marija Nikolic, Riccardo Scarinci

We introduce a probabilistic modeling approach for pedestrian speed density relationship. It is motivated by a high scatter in real data that precludes the use of traditional equilibrium relationships. To characterize the observed pattern, we relax the hom ...
