A general framework for routing problems with stochastic demands
We introduce a unified modeling and solution framework for various classes of rich vehicle and inventory routing problems as well as other probability-based routing problems with a time-horizon dimension. Demand is assumed to be stochastic and non-stationary, and is forecast using any forecasting model that provides expected demands over the planning horizon, with error terms from...

Negative results for the prediction of postprandial hypoglycemias from insulin intakes and carbohydrates: : analysis and comparison with simulated data
Diabetic patients usually take insulin bolus right before eat-ing a meal. A wrong dosage of insulin may lead to a hypoglycemia. Be-ing able to anticipate such insulin-induced, postprandial hypoglycemias would enable warning of the patients about the risk associated with the quantity of insulin they are planning to take. In this work, we explore the feasibility of predicting these...

Steerable wavelet machines (SWM): : learning moving frames
We present texture operators encoding class-specific local organizations of image directions (LOIDs) in a rotation-invariant fashion. The LOIDs are key for visual understanding, and are at the origin of the success of the popular approaches, such as local binary patterns (LBPs) and the scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT). Whereas, LBPs and SIFT yield hand-crafted image...

Expectation and experience: : passenger acceptance of autonomous public transportation vehicles
Passenger acceptance is a key factor for the successful integration, uptake and use of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in the domain of public transpor-tation. Especially knowing opinions and attitudes around safety, comfort and convenience. We discuss a pilot study conducted as part of a larger research project where AVs are being tested to transport members of the general public on a...

Fundamentals of texture processing for biomedical image analysis: : a general definition and problem formulation
This chapter aims to provide an overview of the foundations of texture processing for biomedical image analysis. Its purpose is to define precisely what biomedical texture is, how is it different from general texture information considered in computer vision, and what is the general problem formulation to translate 2Dand 3Dtextured patterns from biomedical images to visually and...
