Sensor and Software Technologies for Lip Pressure Measurements in Trumpet and Cornet Playing - from Lab to Classroom
(2015)Proceedings of the 12th Int. Conference on Sound and Music Computing (SMC-15) Maynooth, Ireland, July 30, 31 & August 1, 2015Conference Paper -
Gaze and feet as additional input modalities for interacting with geospatial interfaces
(2016)ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesGeographic Information Systems (GIS) are complex software environments and we often work with multiple tasks and multiple displays when we work with GIS. However, user input is still limited to mouse and keyboard in most workplace settings. In this project, we demonstrate how the use of gaze and feet as additional input modalities can overcome time-consuming and annoying mode switches between frequently performed tasks. In an iterative ...Conference Paper -
Dependence of Crater Formation in Dry EDM on Electrical Breakdown Mechanism
(2016)Procedia CIRP ~ 18th CIRP Conference on Electro Physical and Chemical Machining (ISEM XVIII)The research effort in dry electrical discharge machining (DEDM) has increased during the last years. The process has advantages in comparison with EDM in oil-based dielectric media, such as low tool electrode wear, thin recast layers on the work piece surface and much more environmentally friendly conditions. However, the plasma-material surface interactions involved in dry EDM are not properly explained yet. Therefore, a characterization ...Conference Paper -
Influence of the anode material on the breakdown behavior in dry electrical eischarge machining
(2012)Procedia CIRP ~ Fifth CIRP Conference on High Performance Cutting 2012In the last years dry electrical discharge machining (DEDM) has been proposed as an alternative to the traditional EDM. The main reason for these efforts is the absence of a liquid dielectric which results in a simpler and environmentally friendly machine. This paper presents measurements of the material removal rate in function of different tool electrode and work piece material put in relation with the breakdown behavior of the process ...Conference Paper -
Development of a Reliable Packaging for CMOS-based Microelectrode Arrays by Using an Automated Setup
(2014)Procedia Engineering ~ EUROSENSORS 2014, the 28th European Conference on Solid-State TransducersWe present a reliable and versatile microelectrode-array-device-packaging method for use in neurobiological research. The new packaging is simple, user-friendly, durable, and obviates any contamination of the sensitive electrodes (Figure 1). The packaging consists of a custom-designed injection-molded polycarbonate ring that is bonded to the surface of the CMOS chip with a specifically selected biocompatible adhesive. The utilization of ...Conference Paper -
Image-to-image translation for enhanced feature matching, image retrieval and visual localization
(2019)ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesThe performance of machine learning and deep learning algorithms for image analysis depends significantly on the quantity and quality of the training data. The generation of annotated training data is often costly, time-consuming and laborious. Data augmentation is a powerful option to overcome these drawbacks. Therefore, we augment training data by rendering images with arbitrary poses from 3D models to increase the quantity of training ...Conference Paper -
Explaining Deep Neural Networks with a Polynomial Time Algorithm for Shapley Values Approximation
(2019)Proceedings of the 36th International Conference on Machine Learning (PMLR)The problem of explaining the behavior of deep neural networks has recently gained a lot of attention. While several attribution methods have been proposed, most come without strong theoretical foundations, which raises questions about their reliability. On the other hand, the literature on cooperative game theory suggests Shapley values as a unique way of assigning relevance scores such that certain desirable properties are satisfied. ...Conference Paper -
Urban Growth Within a Finite Space: Case-study Muscat
(2019)During the last four and half decades of physical urbanization, Muscat, the capital city of Oman, has received a massive influx of local and international migrants. Based on the National Centre of Statistics and Information (NCSI) in April 2016, Oman’s population was recorded at 4,441,448 with the population of Muscat Governorate forming more than half of Oman’s total population (2,395,412). According the NCSI statistics in 2010, Muscat ...Conference Paper -
High speed videometric monitoring of rock breakage
(2018)ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesEstimation of rock breakage characteristics plays an important role in optimising various industrial and mining processes used for rock comminution. Although little research has been undertaken into 3D photogrammetric measurement of the progeny kinematics, there is promising potential to improve the efficacy of rock breakage characterisation. In this study, the observation of progeny kinematics was conducted using a high speed, stereo ...Conference Paper -
Large-Scale Hierarchical Alignment for Data-driven Text Rewriting
(2019)Proceedings of the International Conference on Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing (RANLP 2019)We propose a simple unsupervised method for extracting pseudo-parallel monolingual sentence pairs from comparable corpora representative of two different text styles, such as news articles and scientific papers. Our approach does not require a seed parallel corpus, but instead relies solely on hierarchical search over pre-trained embeddings of documents and sentences. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method through automatic and ...Conference Paper
