With the rising focus on academic safety, there has been an effort to improve the academic safety climate and develop lab-specific risk assessment tools. Despite the progress made in recent years, there is still a deficit of reliable data statistics on saf ...
Neural networks are ubiquitous in applied machine learning for education. Their pervasive success in predictive performance comes alongside a severe weakness, the lack of explainability of their decisions, especially relevant in human-centric fields. We im ...
Deep neural networks have achieved impressive results in many image classification tasks. However, since their performance is usually measured in controlled settings, it is important to ensure that their decisions remain correct when deployed in noisy envi ...
Prescribing optimal operation based on the condition of the system, and thereby potentially prolonging its remaining useful lifetime, has tremendous potential in terms of actively managing the availability, maintenance, and costs of complex systems. Reinfo ...
Background During the COVID-19 pandemic there has been a strong interest in forecasts of the short-term development of epidemiological indicators to inform decision makers. In this study we evaluate probabilistic real-time predictions of confirmed cases an ...
Automated predictions require explanations to be interpretable by humans. One type of ex- planation is a rationale, i.e., a selection of in- put features such as relevant text snippets from which the model computes the outcome. How- ever, a single overall ...
The reuse of structural components in new buildings has great potential to reduce the environmental impacts of the construction sector but remains uncommon practice. An obstacle to its wider implementation is the lack of robust assessment methods and decis ...
There is a need for a tool that facilitates safety decision-making in the academic environment. As this environment is very different from that of industry or other public sectors, there is no information available on the factors that influence the decisio ...
Intercurrent (post-treatment) events occur frequently in randomized trials, and investigators often express interest in treatment effects that suitably take account of these events. Contrasts that naively condition on intercurrent events do not have a stra ...
Understanding the meaning of value to asset-intensive organizations and their stakeholders has been a long -standing goal of researchers and managers of the asset management community. These issues have become particularly prominent with the publication of ...
