de Witte, Sven (author)Clinical decision support systems is a collection name for a lot of Artificial Intelligence systems used in healthcare. These systems are designed to help health workers make decisions faster and make the healthcare environment as a whole more efficient. Decisions made by these systems often weigh heavy on the ethical side giving advice on what...bachelor thesis 2021

de Vries, Tessa (author)Biomedical researchers and clinicians are interested in (ab)normal foetal development because it can aid in better understanding human anatomy. To capture this foetal development non-destructive three dimensional (3D) imaging techniques like computed tomography (CT) are used. Visualising foetuses remains a challenge however, as foetuses consist...master thesis 2021

Geadău, Andrei (author)Moral values are instrumental in understanding people's beliefs and behaviors. Estimating such values from text would facilitate the interaction between humans and computers. To date, no comparison between NLP models for predicting moral values from text exists. This paper addresses this by comparing LSTM and more novel models such as BERT and...bachelor thesis 2021

Kulkarni, Shridhar (author)Integrated assessment models (IAMs) are greatly influential in global climate policy discussions and decision making. Mainstream IAMs suggest climate mitigation pathways which amount to making very little changes to emissions, consumption, and investment patterns in the short term. Instead, they rely on back-loading the mitigation efforts to...master thesis 2020

Hoozemans, Steven (author)Worldwide, machine learning is increasingly used to achieve optimal analytics and outcomes in business and governmental organisations. However, it has become evident that structural guidance for creating machine learning projects is needed. Machine learning projects are dependent on multiple factors. This thesis focuses on three factors...master thesis 2020

Herber, Nils (author)The use of machine learning systems has great potential to better predict probabilities of default for credit underwriting. Despite this advantage, herewith there exists the substantial risk of discrimination. Moreover, machine learning models with the highest prediction-accuracy are often the least explicable (i.e. explainable). Nonetheless,...master thesis 2019
