Mortensen, Isabella (author)Post-war shopping malls in the Netherlands are becoming increasingly vacant, which is reflected in the level of activity of the public spaces. These retail-oriented places are becoming less visited as the main reason to come here disappears. This presents a challenge in a compact and densely populated country with a high space demand. With the...master thesis 2023

Wei, Wei (author)Active learning has been proposed as a solution to mitigate the expensive and time-consuming process of annotating large-scale autonomous driving datasets. The process typically involves a model initialization phase, followed by multiple iterations aiming at selecting the most informative data based on the initial model. However, we find two...master thesis 2023

Viering, T.J. (author)This dissertation focuses on safety in machine learning. Our adopted safety notion is related to robustness of learning algorithms. Related to this concept, we touch upon three topics: explainability, active learning and learning curves.<br/><br/>Complex models can often achieve better performance compared to simpler ones. Such larger models are...doctoral thesis 2023
