Kulane, Suleiman (author)Search engines are used to gather and collect information. This interaction sometimes influences the user and changes their attitude towards a topic after such interaction. Prior work has shown that it is a complex endeavour to understand attitude change, as there are many things that can influence a user during a search session. One of the...master thesis 2023

Bharos, Abri (author)Powerful predictive AI systems have demonstrated great potential in augmenting human decision-making. Recent empirical work has argued that the vision for optimal human-AI collaboration requires ‘appropriate reliance’ of humans on AI systems. However, accurately estimating the trustworthiness of AI advice at the instance level is quite...master thesis 2022

Kuiper, Lucie (author)Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly helping people with all kinds of tasks, due to its promising capabilities. In some tasks, an AI system by itself will take over tasks, but in other tasks, an AI system making decisions on its own would be undesired due to ethical and legal reasons. In those cases, AI can still be of help by forming...master thesis 2022

MA, YAO (author)Crowd-powered conversational systems (CPCS) solicit the wisdom of crowds to quickly respond to on-demand users' needs. The very factors that make this a viable solution ---such as the availability of diverse crowd workers on-demand--- also lead to great challenges. The ever-changing pool of online workers powering conversations with individual...master thesis 2022

Singh, Aayush (author)Several input types have been developed in different technological landscapes like crowdsourcing and conversational agents. However, sign language remains one of the input types that has not been looked upon. Although numerous amount of people around the world use sign language as their primary language, there have not been many efforts to...master thesis 2022

Jung, Ji Youn (author)Research has shown how people anthropomorphize conversational agents (CA) and unconsciously bring their gender stereotypes into human-agent interaction. For this reason, there has been a long lasted dilemma on whether designers should design CAs that conform to or violate stereotypical expectations. Despite the urgency and importance of...master thesis 2022

Mokráňová, Silvia (author)Common sense is knowledge that most humans have, but machines do not. Generally, computer knowledge bases make use of positive (known) knowledge. However, in addition to positive common sense knowledge, there is also negative. Negative knowledge represent facts that are known to be untrue, like "a cat does not have fins". This knowledge is...bachelor thesis 2022

Huang, Xiaoao (author)Commonsense knowledge is a type of knowledge consisting of facts that humans use every day. Humans make queries in search engines with different user intents, and some of them can be answered by knowledge tuples. Different types of knowledge are stored differently in the knowledge bases. Being aware of the types of commonsense knowledge required...bachelor thesis 2022

Hoogeveen, Harm (author)Commonsense knowledge plays a key role in human intelligence. It is knowledge possessed by most humans that helps them in everyday situations. One possible way is to store the knowledge in four types. Each piece is either positive or negative, and generative or discriminative. For efficient retrieval and storage, a uniform model is needed....bachelor thesis 2022

van Woensel, Martijn (author)Commonsense knowledge based question answer- ing is a recent topic that has seen a surge in inter- est. Yet most models obtain general data, this pa- per looks at obtaining query-specific similar con- cepts using first and second-order proximity to- gether with BERT-based retrieval. Using these query-specific concepts new commonsense knowl- edge...bachelor thesis 2022

Vasilcoiu, Ana-Maria (author)To encourage ethical thinking in Machine Learning (ML) development, fairness researchers have created tools to assess and mitigate unfair outcomes. However, despite their efforts, algorithmic harms go beyond what the toolkits currently allow to measure. Through 30 semi-structured interviews, we investigated whether data scientists are...bachelor thesis 2022

Biedma Nuñez, Pablo (author)The increasing dangers of unfairness in machine learning (ML) are becoming a frequent subject of discussion, both, in academia and popular media. Recent literature focused on introducing and assessing algorithmic solutions to bias in ML. However, there is a disconnect between these solutions and practitioners' needs. By interviewing 30 ML...bachelor thesis 2022

Ezard, François (author)Common sense knowledge (CSK) comes naturally to humans, but is very hard for computers to comprehend. However it is critical for machines to behave intelligently, and as such collecting CSK has become a prevalent field of research. Whilst a lot of research has been done to develop CSK acquisition methods, not much work has been done to survey...bachelor thesis 2022

Kuiper, Adrian (author)Commonsense knowledge is the key of human intelligence in generalizing their knowledge to deal with complex tasks. Over the past years, a lot of research has been done in both natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision (CV) on leveraging commonsense knowledge to improve AI models. However, no systematic comparisons of existing work...bachelor thesis 2022

Ajanidisz, Andris (author)Microtask crowdsourcing has grown in popularity in recent years. Microtasking is a form of crowdsourcing in which typically small, simple tasks are distributed over the Internet to a large number of people, also known as workers. Workers are highly susceptible to developing musculoskeletal disorders due to prolonged computer use and the...bachelor thesis 2022

Veringa, Sanne (author)Microtask crowdsource workers are negatively influenced, mentally as well as physically, by the repetitive nature of the tasks they perform. Research is ongoing on whether using a gesture-based input technique could mitigate these negative effects. This paper identifies possible ways that using gestures as an alternative input modality could...bachelor thesis 2022

Rachwani, Sanjay (author)Commonsense knowledge (CK) in artificial intelligence (AI), is an expanding field of research. Because CK is intrinsically implicit, current datadriven machine learning models are still far from competent compared to humans in commonsense reasoning tasks. To minimize the gap between machine learning models with the goal of artificial general...bachelor thesis 2022
