Li, Xinqi (author), Zhang, Y. (author), Zhao, Y. (author), van Gemert, J.C. (author), Tao, Q. (author)Quantitative cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an increasingly important diagnostic tool for cardiovascular diseases. Yet, co-registration of all baseline images within the quantitative MRI sequence is essential for the accuracy and precision of quantitative maps. However, co-registering all baseline images from a quantitative...conference paper 2024

Li, J. (author), Vollebregt, S. (author), Zhang, Y. (author), Shekhar, A. (author), May, Alexander (author), van Driel, W.D. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)Due to the deficient passivation of the interface between silicon carbide and silicon dioxide, the defect-induced capture and release of trapped charges triggered by external Bias Temperature Stress (BTS) leads to parameter shifts and degraded device performance. This study models the trap-induced transient current in silicon carbide metal-oxide...conference paper 2024

Zhang, Y. (author), Mo, J. (author), Cui, Z. (author), Vollebregt, S. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)The continuous downscaling of microelectronics has introduced many reliability issues on interconnect. Electromigration and dewetting are major reliability concerns in high-temperature micro- and nanoscale devices. In this paper, the local dewetting of copper thin film during the electromigration test was first found and investigated. When...conference paper 2023

Qu, Yiting (author), He, Xinlei (author), Pierson, Shannon (author), Backes, Michael (author), Zhang, Y. (author), Zannettou, S. (author)The dissemination of hateful memes online has adverse effects on social media platforms and the real world. Detecting hateful memes is challenging, one of the reasons being the evolutionary nature of memes; new hateful memes can emerge by fusing hateful connotations with other cultural ideas or symbols. In this paper, we propose a framework that...conference paper 2023

Zhang, Y. (author), Herygers, Aaricia (author), Patel, T.B. (author), Yue, Z. (author), Scharenborg, O.E. (author)Automatic speech recognition (ASR) should serve every speaker, not only the majority “standard” speakers of a language. In order to build inclusive ASR, mitigating the bias against speaker groups who speak in a “non-standard” or “diverse” way is crucial. We aim to mitigate the bias against non-native-accented Flemish in a Flemish ASR system....conference paper 2023

(author)Chatbots are used in many applications, e.g., automated agents, smart home assistants, interactive characters in online games, etc. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure they do not behave in undesired manners, providing offensive or toxic responses to users. This is not a trivial task as state-of-the-art chatbot models are trained on large, public...conference paper 2022

(author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author)Lignin, one of the most abundant natural polymers, has been extensively studied as liquid or solid additive in bituminous binders. Despite the fact the organosolv lignin in bitumen improves the overall resistance against oxidative aging, lignin could lead to binders of high thermal cracking sensitivity. In this study, a bio-based oil is...conference paper 2021

Zhang, Y. (author), Jain, V. (author), Palha, A. (author), Gerritsma, M.I. (author)In this paper, we present a hybrid mimetic method which solves the mixed formulation of the Poisson problem on curvilinear quadrilateral meshes. The method is hybrid in the sense that the domain is decomposed into multiple disjoint elements and the interelement continuity is enforced using a Lagrange multiplier. The method is mimetic in the...conference paper 2020
