The use of Learning Management Systems (LMS) has had rapid growth over the last decades. Great efforts have been recently made to assess online students’ performance level, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Faculty members with limited experience i...
World models are widely used for planning and control, but it remains unclear whether they can answer counterfactual questions of the form “what would have happened to this individual under a different action.” Such a question sits at the...
Modelling and simulation of social interaction and networks are of high interest in multiple disciplines and fields of application ranging from fundamental social sciences to smart city management. Future smart city infrastructures and management are...
The natural capital components in cities (“blue-green infrastructure” BGI) are designed to address long-term sustainability and create multi-benefits for society, culture, business, and ecology. We investigated the added value of BGI through the rese...
In this paper, an optimisation procedure is introduced that uses a significantly cheaper, and CFD-free, objective function for aerodynamic optimisation than conventional CFD-driven approaches. Despite the reduced computational cost, we show that this...
A reinforcement learning hyper-heuristic framework for multi-objective scientific workflow scheduling selects among five meta-heuristic optimisers and tunes their control parameters under a Nash Social Welfare reward over makespan, cost, security, an...
Financial contagion—the propagation of shocks across markets, sectors, and time—remains one of the central questions in empirical finance, and yet most computational approaches model it at the wrong granularity. Existing work captures con...
