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

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

Alkhiami, Mohamad awab (author)This study examines traits that may be derived from book metadata and identifies statistically signifi- cant patterns and trends in order to assist recom- mender system designers for children’s books in selecting the most important traits to take into ac- count. This research focuses on descriptive such as publish year and structural metadata...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

Najafian, S. (author)My thesis investigates what makes good explanations for group recommendations, considering the privacy concerns of group members. Let’s give an example. Have you ever been to lunch with other colleagues on a business trip? Do you recall how long it took you to pick a restaurant? In these situations, recommender systems could help people decide,...doctoral thesis 2023

Harte, Jesse (author), Zorgdrager, Wouter (author), Louridas, Panos (author), Katsifodimos, A (author), Jannach, Dietmar (author), Fragkoulis, M. (author)Sequential recommendation problems have received increasing attention in research during the past few years, leading to the inception of a large variety of algorithmic approaches. In this work, we explore how large language models (LLMs), which are nowadays introducing disruptive effects in many AI-based applications, can be used to build or...conference paper 2023

Vrijenhoek, Sanne (author), Michiels, Lien (author), Kruse, Johannes (author), Starke, Alain (author), Viader Guerrero, J. (author), Tintarev, Nava (author)Recommender systems are among the most widely used applications of artificial intelligence. Since they are so widely used, it is important that we, as practitioners and researchers, think about the impact these systems may have on users, society, and other stakeholders. To that effect, the NORMalize workshop seeks to introduce normative thinking...conference paper 2023

Betting, J. L. F. (author), Zeeuw, C. I. De (author), Strydis, C. (author)The cloud has become a powerful and useful environment for the deployment of High-Performance Computing (HPC) applications, but the large number of available instance types poses a challenge in selecting the optimal platform. Users often do not have the time or knowledge necessary to make an optimal choice. Recommender systems have been...conference paper 2023

Beyhan, Yessin (author), Pera, M.S. (author)The aim of this work is to explore common traits preferred across different age groups of children to identify the appeal of book covers. By analyzing visual attributes, visible objects, and implied stories inferred from the covers, we can gain insights into the elements that are most attractive to children up to 18 years old. These findings...conference paper 2023

Sun, Zhu (author), Fang, Hui (author), Yang, J. (author), Qu, Xinghua (author), Liu, Hongyang (author), Yu, Di (author), Ong, Yew Soon (author), Zhang, Jie (author)Recently, one critical issue looms large in the field of recommender systems - there are no effective benchmarks for rigorous evaluation - which consequently leads to unreproducible evaluation and unfair comparison. We, therefore, conduct studies from the perspectives of practical theory and experiments, aiming at benchmarking recommendation...journal article 2023

(author)Social choice aggregation strategies have been proposed as an explainable way to generate recommendations to groups of users. However, it is not trivial to determine the best strategy to apply for a specific group. Previous work highlighted that the performance of a group recommender system is affected by the internal diversity of the group...journal article 2023

van Lent, P.H. (author), Schmitz, Joep (author), Abeel, T.E.P.M.F. (author)Combinatorial pathway optimization is an important tool in metabolic flux optimization. Simultaneous optimization of a large number of pathway genes often leads to combinatorial explosions. Strain optimization is therefore often performed using iterative design-build-test-learn (DBTL) cycles. The aim of these cycles is to develop a product...journal article 2023

Li, Roger Zhe (author), Urbano, Julián (author), Hanjalic, A. (author)Mainstream bias, where some users receive poor recommendations because their preferences are uncommon or simply because they are less active, is an important aspect to consider regarding fairness in recommender systems. Existing methods to mitigate mainstream bias do not explicitly model the importance of these non-mainstream users or, when...conference paper 2023

Xie, Fangyun (author), Fu, Xinyue (author), Huang, R. (author)Off-site construction (OSC) is an innovative construction method. However, OSC is not widely applied in residential buildings due to many barriers. Therefore, this paper aims to unravel this puzzle and interpret the slow development of OSC. The paper develops a new analytical lens based on the ecosystem concept. By deconstructing some ecosystem...journal article 2023
