Addressing sustainability issues requires collective action, with individuals playing a crucial role. Despite a willingness to shop responsibly, people lack the knowledge needed to make informed decisions, this information gap underpins the intention-...

Moral values play a fundamental role in how we evaluate information, make decisions, and form judgements around important social issues. Controversial topics, including vaccination, abortion, racism, and sexual orientation, often elicit opinions and ...

The healthcare sector is increasingly utilizing bots for patient management, chronic disease management, and health advice, providing 24/7 support and immediate medical responses. The language of these bots is crucial, impacting patient comfort, ...

The abundance of Educational Resources (ERs) has allowed people to have access to a vast amount of knowledge. However, it can be difficult, for both educators and learners, to navigate through these resources. One way to facilitate navigation is to ...

The current decline in bird species and protected natural areas highlights the importance of providing solutions to improve the understanding of bird biodiversity and its interaction with its environment. This study focuses on the development and ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) has seamlessly integrated into our daily routines. Recognizing the significance of AI, educators are expected not only to teach about AI but also to utilize AI tools in their teaching, ensuring that their students are ...

Deep learning models have significantly contributed to recognizing older adults’ daily activities for telemonitoring and assistance. However, recognizing human activities in real-world smart homes over the long term presents substantial challenges. ...

For dialogues in which teachers explain difficult concepts to students, didactics research often debates which teaching strategies lead to the best learning outcome. In this paper, we test if LLMs can reliably annotate such explanation dialogues, s.t. ...

Human Activity Recognition (HAR) is a field that has attracted significant attention due to its wide range of applications, from healthcare monitoring to smart home systems. Because of the aging of the population in first-world countries, it becomes ...

The decision-making of the agents in a matching is led by their preferences. Two-sided matching with known preferences of the agents has been studied for a long time. Present-day matching applications require considering stochastic environments where ...

It is now widely acknowledged that machine learning models, trained on data without due care, often exhibit discriminatory behavior. Traditional fairness research has mainly focused on supervised learning tasks, particularly classification. While ...

Regression models of natural language content are widely popular in many applications, such as sentiment analysis, stance detection and emotion detection. The multidimensional Russell and Mehrabian’s Valence-Arousal-Dominance (VAD) model has been ...

The emergence of artificial intelligence and digitization of the power grid introduced numerous effective application scenarios for AI-based services for the smart grid. Nevertheless, adopting AI in critical infrastructures presents challenges due to ...

The increasing development and utilization of Large Language Model (LLM) services have demonstrated many benefits in different contexts. However, LLM services are mainly available in the public cloud and require huge computing resources to operate, thus ...

Achieving fairness in AI systems is a critical yet challenging task due to conflicting metrics and their underlying societal assumptions, e.g., the extent to which racist and sexist societal processes are presumed to cause harm and the extent to which ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a disruptive technology that has achieved remarkable breakthroughs across various domains and is reshaping our daily lives. However, AI’s resource-intensive, time-consuming, and domain-specific nature creates a ...

Dune segmentation is a fundamental task for geographers’ efforts in tackling the global desertification problems. Geographers often use visual interpretation to segment dunes, thus developing valuable insights into the ever-changing conditions that ...

The complex system of life on Earth, biodiversity, provides the essential resources for human survival. However, humanity is the primary driver of species extinction, accelerating the extinction rate to 100-1000 times higher than pre-industrial times. ...

CoinJoin is a privacy-enhancing technique used in cryptocurrency transactions, designed to obfuscate the ownership of funds by amalgamating multiple inputs, thereby complicating the task of linking identities to addresses. While traditional methods for ...

Post-deployment monitoring (PDM) occurs in the late stages of a DevSecOps (DSO) pipeline. Its role in DSO is critical in providing feedback loops on system performance leading to desirable changes achieving long-term system and application sustainment. ...
