Note: Most of my publications have been in venues and research communities where it is common for the list of authors to be sorted alphabetically (in which case, according to Dutch customs, the surname “ten Cate” is sorted under C), while others are in venues or areas (such as machine learning) where the author list is ordered by contribution.
