Feinberg, A. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Herder, P.M. (author)This study is a comprehensive literature review about the field of the urban commons and its diversity, which we investigate through the lens of the new commons. Acknowledging a potential for adaptive capacity in the urban commons, we classify its traits into ecosystem, socio-economic and institutional factors. To make our work more practical,...journal article 2021

Zhang, Xinyue (author), Le, Yun (author), Liu, Y. (author), Liu, Mingqiang (author)In infrastructure project practice, balancing and maximizing the combined effect of exploratory and exploitative innovation have attracted increasing attention, but it is still unclear how to foster ambidextrous innovation in infrastructure projects. To address this gap, we draw on the differentiation-integration framework of ambidexterity...journal article 2021

Mulder, M. (author), Inel, O. (author), Oosterman, J.E.G. (author), Tintarev, N. (author)Diversity in personalized news recommender systems is often defined as dissimilarity, and operationalized based on topic diversity (e.g., corona versus farmers strike). Diversity in news media, however, is understood as multiperspectivity (e.g., different opinions on corona measures), and arguably a key responsibility of the press in a...conference paper 2021

Draws, T.A. (author), Tintarev, N. (author), Gadiraju, Ujwal (author), Bozzon, A. (author), Timmermans, Benjamin (author)The way pages are ranked in search results influences whether the users of search engines are exposed to more homogeneous, or rather to more diverse viewpoints. However, this viewpoint diversity is not trivial to assess. In this paper we use existing and novel ranking fairness metrics to evaluate viewpoint diversity in search result rankings. We...conference paper 2021

Isufi, E. (author), Pocchiari, Matteo (author), Hanjalic, A. (author)Graph convolutions, in both their linear and neural network forms, have reached state-of-the-art accuracy on recommender system (RecSys) benchmarks. However, recommendation accuracy is tied with diversity in a delicate trade-off and the potential of graph convolutions to improve the latter is unexplored. Here, we develop a model that learns...journal article 2021

Yildiz, B. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author), Bricker, J.D. (author), Mosselman, E. (author)Weirs are flow control structures that can be used for flow diversion purposes. They are classified according to section geometry or their length in the flow direction. For sharp-crested rectangular weirs, Rehbock [1] derived stage-discharge equations. In contracted geometries, streamlines curve at the approach flow leading to variations in flow...conference paper 2021

Muñoz Sierra, Julian (author), Oosterkamp, M.J. (author), Spanjers, H. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author)High salinity is becoming more common in industrial process water and final effluents, particularly when striving to close water loops. There is limited knowledge on the anaerobic treatment of chemical wastewaters characterized by distinct salinity fluctuations. This study investigates the high and fluctuating salinity effects on the...journal article 2021

Slokom, M. (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Larson, M.A. (author)In this paper, we propose a new privacy solution for the data used to train a recommender system, i.e., the user–item matrix. The user–item matrix contains implicit information, which can be inferred using a classifier, leading to potential privacy violations. Our solution, called Personalized Blurring (PerBlur), is a simple, yet effective,...journal article 2021

(author), Bidarra, Rafael (author)Within citizenship education, a new focus is being laid upon what is expected of citizens within a diverse and lightning-fast society: more emphasis is placed on teaching students how to understand and respect other people’s opinions, regardless of how they may contrast with one’s own. However, learning to be tolerant with others’ viewpoints...conference paper 2021

Fernandez-de-Cordova, Graciela (author), Moschella, Paola (author), Fernandez Maldonado, A.M. (author)Since the 2000s, Lima city shows important changes in its socio-spatial structure, decreasing the long-established opposition between the centre and the periphery, developing a more complex arrangement. Sustained national economic growth has allowed better socio-economic conditions in different areas of the city. However, high inequality still...book chapter 2021

van Woudenberg, T.R. (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author)In the design of steel structures, optimization methods can find minimum weight solutions. However, the solutions tend to have a high diversity of profiles, thereby raising costs. Grouping methods provide a solution by limiting the number of unique profiles, while still providing an optimal solution. This study proposes a new grouping method and...journal article 2021

Mulder, Mats (author)Previous research on diversity in recommender systems define diversity as the opposite of similarity and propose methods that are based on topic diversity. Diversity in news media, however, is understood as multiperspectivity and scholars generally agree that fostering diversity is the key responsibility of the press in a democratic society....master thesis 2020

Pocchiari, M. (author)Recommender Systems assist the user by suggesting items to be consumed based on the user's history. The topic of diversity in recommendation gained momentum in recent years as additional criterion besides recommendation accuracy, to improve user satisfaction. Accuracy and diversity in recommender systems coexist in a delicate trade-off due to...master thesis 2020

Muijlwijk, S. (author)This graduation project is focused on a re-interpretation of the design of a high-rise building from an urban design perspective, to contribute to a more inclusive city. This is captured by the main research question: In which manner could the design of a high-rise building in the context of the Binckhorst The Hague, from the perspective of...master thesis 2020

van Woudenberg, Tom (author)In the design of steel structures, optimisation methods promise cheap, light and sustainable structures. However, the resulting designs tend to have a high diversity of profiles, making them unbuildable. Furthermore, the optimisation problem is mathematically complex, leading to a long and potentially unsolvable optimisation process. Grouping...master thesis 2020
