Ottun, Abdul Rasheed (author), Mane, Pramod C. (author), Yin, Zhigang (author), Paul, Souvik (author), Liyanage, Mohan (author), Pridmore, Jason (author), Ding, Aaron Yi (author), Sharma, Rajesh (author), Nurmi, Petteri (author), Flores, Huber (author)Federated learning (FL) is a promising privacy-preserving solution to build powerful AI models. In many FL scenarios, such as healthcare or smart city monitoring, the user's devices may lack the required capabilities to collect suitable data, which limits their contributions to the global model. We contribute social-aware federated learning...journal article 2022

Alfrink, Kars (author), Keller, A.I. (author), Doorn, N. (author), Kortuem, G.W. (author)The increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) by public actors has led to a push for more transparency. Previous research has conceptualized AI transparency as knowledge that empowers citizens and experts to make informed choices about the use and governance of AI. Conversely, in this paper, we critically examine if transparency-as...journal article 2022

Alfrink, Kars (author), Keller, A.I. (author), Kortuem, G.W. (author), Doorn, N. (author)As the use of AI systems continues to increase, so do concerns over their lack of fairness, legitimacy and accountability. Such harmful automated decision-making can be guarded against by ensuring AI systems are contestable by design: responsive to human intervention throughout the system lifecycle. Contestable AI by design is a small but...journal article 2022

Marot, Antoine (author), Kelly, Adrian (author), Naglic, M. (author), Barbesant, Vincent (author), Cremer, Jochen (author), Stefanov, Alexandru (author), Viebahn, Jan (author)Today's power systems are seeing a paradigm shift under the energy transition, sparkled by the electrification of demand, digitalisation of systems, and an increasing share of decarbonated power generation. Most of these changes have a direct impact on their control centers, forcing them to handle weather-based energy resources, new...journal article 2022

de Bruijn, J.A. (author), Warnier, Martijn (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)Governments look at explainable artificial intelligence's (XAI) potential to tackle the criticisms of the opaqueness of algorithmic decision-making with AI. Although XAI is appealing as a solution for automated decisions, the wicked nature of the challenges governments face complicates the use of XAI. Wickedness means that the facts that define...journal article 2022

Ekici, B. (author), Türkcan, Okan (author), Turrin, M. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author), Tasgetiren, Mehmet Fatih (author)The increase in global population, which negatively affects energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and arable land, necessitates designing sustainable habitation alternatives. Self-sufficient high-rise buildings, which integrate (electricity) generation and efficient usage of resources with dense habitation, can be a sustainable solution for future...journal article 2022

Tian, Xin (author), Vertommen, Ina (author), Tsiami, Lydia (author), van Thienen, Peter (author), Paraskevopoulos, S. (author)Most water utilities have to handle a substantial number of customer complaints every year. Traditionally, complaints are handled by skilled staff who know how to identify primary issues, classify complaints, find solutions, and communicate with customers. The effort associated with complaint processing is often great, depending on the number...journal article 2022

Sharma, Salil (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Snelder, M. (author)This paper studies and compares the gap selection process of multiple vehicle classes (passenger cars, delivery vans, and trucks) within their discretionary lane changing activities. Given a trajectory or a sequence of gap selection decisions, we aim to predict whether a vehicle will change or keep a lane. For this purpose, we use a large...journal article 2022

Angelucci, Alessandra (author), Li, Ziyue (author), Stoimenova, N. (author), Canali, Stefano (author)Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have been widely applied to various contexts, including high-stake decision processes in healthcare, banking, and judicial systems. Some developed AI models fail to offer a fair output for specific minority groups, sparking comprehensive discussions about AI fairness. We argue that the development of AI...journal article 2022

Conroy, Philip (author), van Diepen, S.A.N. (author), Van Asselen, Sanneke (author), Erkens, Gilles (author), van Leijen, F.J. (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author)Phase unwrapping, also known as ambiguity resolution, is an underdetermined problem in which assumptions must be made to obtain a result in SAR interferometry (InSAR) time series analysis. This problem is particularly acute for distributed scatterer InSAR, in which noise levels can be so large that they are comparable in magnitude to the...journal article 2022

Keulen, D. (author), Geldhof, Geoffroy (author), Bussy, Olivier Le (author), Pabst, Martin (author), Ottens, M. (author)The safety requirements for vaccines are extremely high since they are administered to healthy people. For that reason, vaccine development is time-consuming and very expensive. Reducing time-to-market is key for pharmaceutical companies, saving lives and money. Therefore the need is raised for systematic, general and efficient process...journal article 2022

Forouzandeh Shahraki, N. (author), Zomorodian, Zahra Sadat (author), Tahsildoost, Mohammad (author), Shaghaghian, Zohreh (author)Recent studies have focused on data-driven methods for building energy efficiency, by using simulated or empirical data, for energy-based design assessment rather than the common physics-based techniques, which are mostly time-consuming. In this paper, the feasibility of using seven different Machine Learning models, including three single...journal article 2022

Valentine, David Callisto (author), Smit, I.R. (author), Kim, E.D.H. (author)Trust is an important factor in building acceptance of autonomous vehicles within our society, but the complex nature of trust makes it challenging to design for an appropriate level of trust. This can lead to instances of mistrust and/or distrust between users and AV’s. Designing for calibrated trust is a possible option to address this...journal article 2021

Umbrello, S. (author), van de Poel, I.R. (author)Value sensitive design (VSD) is an established method for integrating values into technical design. It has been applied to different technologies and, more recently, to artificial intelligence (AI). We argue that AI poses a number of challenges specific to VSD that require a somewhat modified VSD approach. Machine learning (ML), in particular,...journal article 2021

Fisher, Michael (author), Mascardi, Viviana (author), Rozier, Kristin Yvonne (author), Schlingloff, Bernd-Holger (author), Winikof, Michael (author), Yorke-Smith, N. (author)A computational system is called autonomous if it is able to make its own decisions, or take its own actions, without human supervision or control. The capability and spread of such systems have reached the point where they are beginning to touch much of everyday life. However, regulators grapple with how to deal with autonomous systems, for...journal article 2021
