Harte, Jesse (author)In this thesis we aim to research and design different neural models for session recommendation. We investigate the fundamental neural models for session recommendation, namely BERT4Rec, SASRec and GRU4Rec and subsequently use our findings to design a simpler but performant neural model. <br/><br/>Firstly, we address methodological errors made...master thesis 2023

Al Nahadi, Murtadha (author)"Girls are bad at math, but are better than boys in linguistic subjects!" Such stereotypes, potentially manifesting through various sources, can impact children's development and negatively affect their academic performance. In this work, we study the presence of stereotypes among the Top-10 suggestions of Recommender Algorithms. In particular,...master thesis 2023

Klomp, Danielle (author)Recommender systems have become a core strategy of countless online sites and platforms including music streaming services like Spotify. These recommender systems are associated with limiting our exposure to a narrower range of content, this is even the case for features designed to promote discovery like Spotify’s Discover Weekly. Discover...master thesis 2023

Sav, Andra (author)Machine Learning models are nowadays infused into all aspects of our lives. Perhaps one of its most common applications regards recommender systems, as they facilitate users' decision-making processes in various scenarios (e.g., e-commerce, social media, news, online learning, etc.). Training performed on large volumes of data is what ultimately...bachelor thesis 2023

STAVROU, SOFIA (author)Maintaining a healthy eating behavior can be challenging, especially under stressful situations. Self-control plays a pivotal role in this struggle, since it allows one to resist immediate desires in pursuit of higher-level goals. The level of self-control can differ among individuals, with varying degrees of “strength”. This strength can be...master thesis 2023

Qiu, Ziang (author)Recently, a few children-centered recommendation systems have been created and evaluated. How- ever, these systems required user interaction to cre- ate ground truth to evaluate the result. This research aims to compare some of the traditional recommen- dation models and explore which trait could impact the recommendation process most for...bachelor thesis 2023

Swart, Stijn (author)Recommender systems are a useful tool for match- ing readers with books. However, the lack of user data from children, both due to privacy concerns as well as a low incentive to leave reviews, results in existing systems proving inadequate at recom- mending to the youth. It has been shown that chil- dren have a different relation regarding...bachelor thesis 2023

van Smaalen, Mees (author)Reading is an essential skill for any child to learn, and finding enjoyment in it can greatly contribute to developing proper reading comprehension. Finding the books they like could prove to be difficult. Utilizing collaborative filtering recommender systems to recommend books to children is a tricky task, the lack of user feedback makes it...bachelor thesis 2023

Beyhan, Yessin (author)The cover of a children's book could play a crucial role in attracting the attention of young readers and influencing their decision to pick up and read the book. In this study, we aim to identify the factors that contribute to the appeal of children's book covers. Given that the target audience for children's books changes as children grow...bachelor thesis 2023

Magnini, Matteo (author), Ciatto, Giovanni (author), Cantürk, Furkan (author), Aydoğan, Reyhan (author), Omicini, Andrea (author)Background and objective:This paper focuses on nutritional recommendation systems (RS), i.e. AI-powered automatic systems providing users with suggestions about what to eat to pursue their weight/body shape goals. A trade-off among (potentially) conflictual requirements must be taken into account when designing these kinds of systems, there...journal article 2023

Hulstijn, Joris (author), Tchappi, Igor (author), Najjar, Amro (author), Aydoğan, Reyhan (author)Recommender systems aim to support their users by reducing information overload so that they can make better decisions. Recommender systems must be transparent, so users can form mental models about the system’s goals, internal state, and capabilities, that are in line with their actual design. Explanations and transparent behaviour of the...conference paper 2023
