Many product innovations can benefit from being more adaptive to their environment. Learning adaptive behavior can be time sensitive and complex. For that purpose we created a simulation environment with a reinforcement learning component for developing simple adaptive products. The environment models …

We present our ongoing work on upgrading the Amsterdam Public Library's book database search capabilities. So far, users have had to input the exact book title and/or author name without any typos or misspellings in order to retrieve any results. This is in sharp contrast with the manner in which users …

At a time of mounting ecological crises and biodiversity loss, there is an urgent need for nature-based solutions. Equestrian properties cover a considerable proportion of the European rural and peri-urban landscape and provide much potential for integrating ecosystem services, such as the inclusion …
