Zhang, Huishun (author)Problem Statement. The responsibility problem in the AI field has been taken seriously. The point of the problem is how to prevent AI systems from making moral decisions for whom they cannot be held accountable. One of the directions to address the responsibility problem is Meaningful Human Control (MHC). Most of the work focused on theoretical...master thesis 2022

Zhang, QI (author)In image search, an algorithm tries to identify images in a database that are similar to a query image. Image search has numerous applications. For example, image search can help historians find images of a historical building from a large image database of buildings worldwide. Feature extraction and nearest neighbors methods are standard steps...master thesis 2022

Zhang, Peter (author)Peer-to-peer trading and energy communities have garnered much attention over the last few years due to the wider spread of distributed energy resources. Much research has been performed on the mechanisms and methodologies behind their implementation and realisation. However, the efficiency and micro-structure of trading in such markets raise...master thesis 2022

Zhang, Yixuan (author)One of the most important problems that needs tackling for wide deployment of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is the bias in ASR, i.e., ASRs tend to generate more accurate predictions for certain speaker groups while making more errors on speech from others. In this thesis, we aim to reduce bias against non-native speakers of Dutch compared...master thesis 2022

Zhang, Yuanyuan (author)Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems have seen substantial improvements in the past decade; however, not for all speaker groups. Recent research shows that bias exists against different types of speech, including non-native accents, in state-of-the-art (SOTA) ASR systems. To attain inclusive speech recognition, i.e., ASR for everyone...master thesis 2022
