de Wit, S. (author), Hermans, F.F.J. (author), Specht, M.M. (author), Aivaloglou, E.A. (author)From an early age, girls may opt out of Computer Science (CS) for not fitting the CS stereotypes of being male, asocial and technology-oriented. These stereotypes might be strengthened by children's books on programming, but little is known about this. Therefore, this paper explores the gender, social interactions and interests of characters...conference paper 2024

Buis, Kilian (author)After the financial crisis, the standards for the valuation of financial derivatives were reviewed and several adjustments were made to these valuations, of which Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) is the most important one. CVA represents the price of counterparty credit risk that should be added to the default-free fair price of a financial...master thesis 2023

Wigchert, Lisanne (author)Annually, around 180,000 cardiac ablation procedures are performed as a result of people experiencing cardiac arrhythmia’s. During this ablation procedure, an ablation catheter is used to scar the problematic cardiac tissue after which the arrhythmia will stop. The ablation catheter is discarded after one single use. Incineration of these...master thesis 2023

Swanenburg, Jade (author)This thesis aims to develop a methodology for predicting the swap spread, which is defined as the difference between the German government bond interest rate and the Euribor swap rate. Thus far, the prediction of interest rates is limited to the prediction of a single interest rate. This thesis introduces the simultaneous prediction of the...master thesis 2023

de Wit, S. (author), Hermans, F.F.J. (author), Specht, M.M. (author), Aivaloglou, E.A. (author)Background and Context. Increasing gender diversity in the field of Computer Science (CS) benefits the economy as well as gender equality. However, several obstacles - including underdeveloped CS interests, lack of programming experience, and a misfit with the stereotypes of computer scientists - prevent women from entering the field....conference paper 2023

de Wit, S. (author), Hermans, Felienne (author), Specht, M.M. (author), Aivaloglou, E.A. (author)Women are underrepresented in Computer Science (CS). Closing the gender gap in CS benefits the economy, gender equality and society. However, girls have low CS interest while interest energizes learning and guides career trajectories. We explore the effects of the user interface of Hedy, a graduate language which teaches the syntax of Python, on...poster 2023

Daniel, A.M. (author), van Exel, Job (author), Chorus, C.G. (author)Efficiently allocating scarce healthcare resources requires nuanced understanding of individual and collective interests as well as relative concerns, which may overlap or conflict. This paper is the first to empirically investigate whether and to what extent self-interest (SI), positional concerns (PC) and distributional considerations (DC)...journal article 2023

Herdt, T. (author), Jonkman, Arend (author)Urban densification is crucial for sustainable urban growth. Yet, its implementation often leads to local conflicts. To understand the interplay between private and public interests, we analysed media reports on densification policies and projects in Switzerland from 2009 and 2019, a period when Switzerland revised its Spatial Planning Act,...journal article 2023

Agiollo, A. (author), Bardhi, Enkeleda (author), Conti, M. (author), Lazzeretti, Riccardo (author), Losiouk, Eleonora (author), Omicini, Andrea (author)In the context of Information-Centric Networking, Interest Flooding Attacks (IFAs) represent a new and dangerous sort of distributed denial of service. Since existing proposals targeting IFAs mainly focus on local information, in this paper we propose GNN4IFA as the first mechanism exploiting complex non-local knowledge for IFA detection by...conference paper 2023

Breman, Carlotta (author), Storm, S.T.H. (author)Sharp increases in systemically important crude oil prices have been a major cause of the recent surge in the inflation rate in the U.S. This paper investigates the extent to which the increase in oil prices can be attributed to excessive speculation in the oil futures market. Our analysis suggests that excessive speculation in the crude oil...journal article 2023

Remmerswaal, Mick G.D. (author), Wu, L. (author), Tiran, Sébastien (author), Mentens, Nele (author)Template attacks (TAs) are one of the most powerful side-channel analysis (SCA) attacks. The success of such attacks relies on the effectiveness of the profiling model in modeling the leakage information. A crucial step for TA is to select relevant features from the measured traces, often called points of interest (POIs), to extract the...journal article 2023

Krabbenborg, Britt (author)Banks such as Rabobank depend on multi-year mortgage prepayment forecasts in order to make provisions for the associated prepayment risks. The econometric models they use are fitted to historical data, and as a consequence their models are fitted to a decreasing interest rate regime. Given the current economic climate of increasing interest...master thesis 2022

Sarkar, Priya (author)Mathematical fairness notions introduced in literature aim to make algorithmic decisions fair. However, their usage has been criticized in domains such as recidivism and lending for producing unfair decisions. Questions regarding fairness, which also have an important role in hiring are giving way to concerns about the increasing adoption of...master thesis 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic and consequent social distancing measures have led to a reemphasis of the...journal article 2022

(author), Gao, Song (author), Hu, Yingjie (author), Kim, Eun-Kyeong (author), McKenzie, Grant (author), Purves, Ross (author), Yuan, May (author), Andris, Clio (author)In this commentary, we describe the current state of the art of points of interest (POIs) as digital, spatial datasets, both in terms of their quality and affordings, and how they are used across research domains. We argue that good spatial coverage and high-quality POI features — especially POI category and temporality information — are key for...journal article 2022

Huizer, Rick (author)3D modeling techniques can be used to automate processes such as damage assessment in aircraft engines. Aircraft engines often have shiny and non-textured surfaces, where these modeling techniques often have poor performance. This paper gives more insight into the performance of interest detection/matching algorithms on shiny and non-textured...bachelor thesis 2021

Jonkman, Niels (author)We study the impact of wrong-way risk (WWR) on the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) of a portfolio of interest rate swaps (IRSs), using an intensity-based reduced form model. To model WWR in IRSs we create a dependence between he underlying market risk factor of the IRS and the survival probability of the <br/>counterparty. The focus lies on...master thesis 2021

However, Hess mostly used small sample sizes and undocumented luminance control. In a first experiment (N = 182) and a second preregistered experiment (N =...journal article 2021

Milias, V. (author), Psyllidis, A. (author)Points of interest (POIs) digitally represent real-world amenities as point locations. POI categories (e.g. restaurant, hotel, museum etc.) play a prominent role in several location-based applications such as social media, navigation, recommender systems, geographic information retrieval tools, and travel-related services. The majority of user...journal article 2021

Rood, N.M. (author)In this study, two interest rate models are analysed in context of counterparty credit risk. The goal of the study is to find a model that performs well on historical simulation for the PFE and EPE. The two models analysed are the Dynamic Nelson-Siegel model and the Displaced Diffusion model.<br/>In the Dynamic Nelson-Siegel model, a Nelson...master thesis 2020
