KINDYNIS, Chrysanthos (author)In this paper, we tackle the problem of creating decision trees that are both optimal and individually fair. While decision trees are popular due to their interpretability, achieving optimality can be difficult. Existing approaches either lack scalability or fail to consider individual fairness. To address this, we define individual fairness as...bachelor thesis 2023

van den Bos, Mim (author)Decision trees make decisions in a way interpretable to humans, this is important when machines are increasingly used to aid in making high-stakes and socially sensitive decisions. While heuristics have been used for a long time to find decision trees with reasonable accuracy, recent approaches find fully optimal trees. Due to the computational...bachelor thesis 2023

Huisman, Tim (author)Survival analysis revolves around studying and predicting the time it takes for a particular event to occur. In clinical trials on terminal illnesses, this is usually the time from the diagnosis of a patient until their death. Estimating the odds of survival of a new patient can be done by analyzing survival data from past patients in similar...bachelor thesis 2023

Hopman, Luuk (author)Asphalt concrete is one of the most widely used materials in modern road construction. Predicting its functional properties is crucial in the design of new asphalt concrete mixtures. However, current prediction models are limited in accuracy and applicability due to the complex nature of asphalt concrete properties. This thesis researches the...master thesis 2023

Minderhoud, Max (author)The maritime industry faces a lot of uncertainty, and the energy transition has only increased this uncertainty. Ships will probably have to be converted to an alternative fuel during their lifetime and methanol seems to be the fuel with the most potential for offshore ships. By preparing for this, Design-for-Conversion to methanol, the costs of...master thesis 2023

Zeng, Henwei (author)Several algorithms can often be used to solve a complex problem, such as the SAT problem or the graph coloring problem. Those algorithms differ in terms of speed based on the size or other features of the problem. Some algorithms perform much faster on a small size while others perform noticeably better on a larger instance. The optimization...bachelor thesis 2023

van der Linden, J.G.M. (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author), Demirović, E. (author)Global optimization of decision trees has shown to be promising in terms of accuracy, size, and consequently human comprehensibility. However, many of the methods used rely on general-purpose solvers for which scalability remains an issue. Dynamic programming methods have been shown to scale much better because they exploit the tree structure by...conference paper 2023

Herrera-Semenets, Vitali (author), Bustio-Martínez, Lázaro (author), Hernández-León, Raudel (author), van den Berg, Jan (author)Decision trees are one of the most popular structures for decision-making and the representation of a set of rules. However, when a rule set is represented as a decision tree, some quirks in its structure may negatively affect its performance. For example, duplicate sub-trees and rule filters, that need to be evaluated more than once, could...conference paper 2023
