Under Pressure: Examining the Influence of AI and Human Expert Advice on Decision-Making Under Time Constraints
(2025)In high-stakes environments, individuals may rely on external advice to reduce the negative effects of time pressure on decision quality. This study examined how the source of advice (AI vs. human), its quality (60% vs. ... -
Identifying synergistic relationships in Bayesian networks: From one-way to two-way sensitivity analysis
(2025)Bayesian networks are widely valued in artificial intelligence for their capacity to provide interpretable, probabilistic models of complex systems, particularly in settings marked by uncertainty. Robustness and explainability ... -
The effect of fixed, data driven image scan patterns on Vision Mamba performance
(2025)Mamba-based vision models show promise as successors to Transformer-based models due to their competitive performance and significant efficiency improvements, but are constrained by fixed, predetermined scan patterns. These ... -
Feedback Loops in AI-Based Decision-Aid Systems
(2025)Predictive policing is known to carry the risk of feedback loops that can amplify existing biases. While these loops have received considerable attention in academic research, they remain under-explored in other policing ... -
It takes a network to want a child: Explaining fertility intentions with graph neural networks
(2025)How does one’s social network influence their fertility intentions, and which network variables are most influential? In this thesis the application of graph neural networks is explored to analyse how social networks ... -
Fast QND Readout of Spin Qubits via Hybrid Longitudinal-Transverse Coupling: A Numerical Study
(2025)Spin qubits have attracted significant attention in quantum computing due to their long coherence times and compatibility with semiconductor fabrication processes. However, quantum non-demolition (QND) readout of spin ... -
Personalising LLM-Generated Worked Examples based on Skill Level in Introductory Programming
(2025)Worked examples are a useful tool for teaching programming, as they help reduce cognitive load by illustrating step-by-step problem-solving processes. However, creating high-quality worked examples is a time-intensive task ... -
Integrating Contextual Metrics in LLM-Based Hint Generation for Programming Exercises
(2025)Large Language Models (LLMs) show promise for generating programming hints, but current systems largely ignore behavioral data from student programming sessions. This thesis investigates whether integrating contextual ... -
Reinforcement Learning Applied to an EV Charging Scheduling Problem
(2025)This thesis investigates Maskable Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) for Electric Vehicle Charging Scheduling (EVCS) within a non-uniform smart grid, partially integrated with renewable energy, aiming to minimize charging ... -
Multitask Learning for Medical Image Report Generation with Structured Table Integration
(2025)This thesis investigates whether multitask learning can improve factual grounding in automated radiology report generation using Large Vision-Language Models. We adapt LLaVA-OneVision-7B with QLoRA for chest X-ray report ... -
Formalizing Axiomatic Theories of Truth
(2025)We investigate the possibility of formalizing the proof of the conservativity of TB in Halbach [1, p. 55f], in the interactive theorem prover Lean. Lean is based on dependent type theory, which has a natural connection to ... -
SPEECH TO SCHIZOPHRENIA SPECTRUM DISORDER: MACHINE LEARNING CLASSIFICATION USING NLP FEATURES
(2025)Background: Formal thought disorder in schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) may manifest as disorganized speech patterns that are traditionally assessed through clinical evalu- ation. This is subjective and time consuming, ... -
3D face modeling for multiview facial action detection
(2025)Facial action unit (AU) detection struggles with the lack of 3D information from the common way of detection, using 2D images. This paper leverages 3D face reconstruction models, parametric facial data, and other multi-view ... -
The mediating role of Sense of Authenticity, Belongingness and Justice in the relationship between Perceived Managerial DEI Policy Support and Career Advancement Motivation
(2025)This study investigates how employees’ perceptions of their manager’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policy support influences their career advancement motivation. It addresses a gap in literature by shifting the ... -
The Future of Work: How Job-Related Temporal Discounting Shapes Intrinsic Motivation
(2025)Due to the ongoing labour shortage, it is increasingly important for organizations to retain and nurture employees. As rewards are directly linked to work motivation, understanding how employees evaluate job-related rewards ... -
Leading to Diversity: The Effect of Executive Messaging and Executive Gender on Perceived Effectiveness of Gender Diversity Initiatives
(2025)Despite growing efforts to tackle gender inequality, discrepancies between men and women remain commonplace in the workplace. This experimental study examined how executives’ behaviour (status quo legitimising vs. status ...
