A predictive model for daylight performance based on multimodal generative adversarial networks at the early design stage
(2024)Energy and BuildingsIn the early building design stage, machine learning-based surrogate models demonstrate significant advantages in rapidly evaluating design performance compared to conventional simulation software. However, due to network limitations, current models struggle to incorporate comprehensive building information, leading to undesired generalizability in adapting to design variations. This study proposes a multimodal Generative Adversarial ...Journal Article -
An analytical model for seismic response analysis of electrical equipment-steel support structure
(2024)Journal of Constructional Steel ResearchElectrical equipment mounted on supporting structures is typical in a substation but vulnerable to earthquakes from previous field investigations. To evaluate the seismic performance of such an electrical equipment-support coupling system, a modal space analytical model was developed using the vibration partial differential equation (PDE) with distributed parameters and joint nodes. In the analytical model, resonant frequencies and mode ...Journal Article -

Wearable Activity Trackers: A Survey on Utility, Privacy, and Security
(2024)ACM Computing SurveysOver the past decade, wearable activity trackers (WATs) have become increasingly popular. However, despite many research studies in different fields (such as psychology, health, and design), few have sought to jointly examine the critical aspects of utility (i.e., benefits brought by these devices), privacy, and security (i.e., risks and vulnerabilities associated with them). To fill this gap, we reviewed 236 studies that researched the ...Journal Article -
TOFG
(2024)IEEE Transactions on Intelligent VehiclesIn autonomous driving, an accurate understanding of the environment, e.g., the vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-lane interactions, plays a critical role in many driving tasks, such as trajectory prediction and motion planning. Environment information comes from high-definition maps and historical trajectories of vehicles. To interpret and utilize such information for the two aforementioned driving tasks, both learning-based models and ...Journal Article -
Distance, transmission, and journey in the collective construction of an Itaaká
(2023)HUB - Journal of Research in Art, Design and SocietyThis exhibition discusses the collective construction of an ancestral instrument of the Terena indigenous people in the context of the artistic residency Con/Cri/Tec, held in 2023 at Casa do Povo, in São Paulo, and organized by the Center for Arts, Design and Social Research (CAD+SR). The functions of the Itaaká instrument, as well as the process of creating it in the residency, offered decolonial opportunities for understanding the idea ...Journal Article -

Bounding the Distance to Unsafe Sets With Convex Optimization
(2023)IEEE Transactions on Automatic ControlThis work proposes an algorithm to bound the minimum distance between points on trajectories of a dynamical system and points on an unsafe set. Prior work on certifying safety of trajectories includes barrier and density methods, which do not provide a margin of proximity to the unsafe set in terms of distance. The distance estimation problem is relaxed to a Monge-Kantorovich-type optimal transport problem based on existing occupation-measure ...Journal Article -
Political Agency and Implementation Subsidies with Imperfect Monitoring
(2023)The Journal of Law, Economics & OrganizationVoters are frequently ill-equipped to monitor politicians’ actions. Politicians are expected to implement projects, whose benefits sometimes partially accrue to interest groups (IGs) and not entirely to voters. IGs thus have an incentive to affect which projects politicians implement by providing implementation subsidies to lower the cost of policymaking that politicians incur. This article shows how these considerations interact in a ...Journal Article -
Social Exchange and the Reciprocity Roller Coaster: Evidence from the Life and Death of Virtual Teams
(2023)Organization ScienceOrganizations are riddled with cooperation problems, that is, instances in which workers need to voluntarily exert effort to achieve efficient collective outcomes. To sustain high levels of cooperation, the experimental literature demonstrates the centrality of reciprocal preferences but has also overlooked some of its negative consequences. In this paper, we ran lab-in-the-field experiments in the context of open-source software development ...Journal Article
