Slokom, M. (author)In the field of machine learning (ML), the goal is to leverage algorithmic models to generate predictions, transforming raw input data into valuable insights. However, the ML pipeline, consisting of input data, models, and output data, is susceptible to various vulnerabilities and attacks. These attacks include re-identification, attribute...doctoral thesis 2024

Musick, Geoff (author), Duan, Wen (author), Najafian, S. (author), Sengupta, Subhasree (author), Flathmann, Christopher (author), Knijnenburg, Bart (author), McNeese, Nathan (author)Newly-formed teams often encounter the challenge of members coming together to collaborate on a project without prior knowledge of each other’s working and communication styles. This lack of familiarity can lead to conflicts and misunderstandings, hindering effective teamwork. Derived from research in social recommender systems, team...journal article 2024

Horvath, I. (author), Tepjit, Sirasak (author)Application-specific reasoning mechanisms (ASRMs) development is a rapidly growing domain of systems engineering. A demonstrative implementation of an active recommender system (ARS) was realized to support designing ASRMs and to circumvent procedural obstacles by providing context-sensitive recommendations. The specific problem for the...journal article 2024

Kong, I. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Bharosa, Nitesh (author)By utilizing the properties of quantum mechanics, quantum computers have the potential to factor a key pair of a large prime number and break some of the core cryptographic primitives that most information infrastructures depend on. This means that today's widely used cryptographic algorithms can soon become unsafe and need to be modified...journal article 2024

Spare parts recommendation for corrective maintenance of capital goods considering demand dependencyDursun, I. (author), Grishina, Anastasiia (author), Akcay, Alp (author), van Houtum, Geert Jan (author)We consider a maintenance service provider that services geographically dispersed customers with its local service engineers. Traditionally, when a system failure is reported, a service engineer makes a diagnostic visit to the customer's location to perform corrective maintenance. If spare parts are required, they are ordered and a second...journal article 2024

Vombatkere, Karan (author), Mousavi, Sepehr (author), Zannettou, S. (author), Roesner, Franziska (author), Gummadi, Krishna P. (author)Recommendation algorithms for social media feeds often function as black boxes from the perspective of users. We aim to detect whether social media feed recommendations are personalized to users, and to characterize the factors contributing to personalization in these feeds. We introduce a general framework to examine a set of social media feed...conference paper 2024

(author), Roesner, Franziska (author)Short-format videos have exploded on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Despite this, the research community lacks large-scale empirical studies into how people engage with short-format videos and the role of recommendation systems that offer endless streams of such content. In this work, we analyze user engagement on TikTok using...conference paper 2024

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

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
