Provoking Diversity in Media using the Diversity Checker KU Leuven
This thesis describes the genesis of the Diversity Checker, a tool meant to provoke journalists into producing more diverse content in an intelligent fashion. Diversity in media is a very broad topic, and the project that this thesis is a part of is similarly broad in its scope. The multidisciplinary nature of the project enables the various disciplines to influence each other positively, and in particular it gives the work presented here a ...
MERCS: Efficient Modeling of Big Data with Multidirectional Ensembles of Decision Trees KU Leuven
The field of data mining covers a large variety of tasks, such as classification, regression, clustering, outlier detection, subgroup discovery, probabilistic inference, ..., and an even larger variety of methods. Many methods have a high computational complexity, which makes them unsuitable for analyzing very large datasets. A possible solution to this is the automatic construction, from data, of a model that can next be analyzed instead ...
The Risk Management of Contingent Convertible (CoCo) Bonds KU Leuven
The financial crisis of 2007-2008 triggered an avalanche of financial worries for financial institutions worldwide. Governments intervened and bailed out banks using taxpayers' money. Preventing such bail-outs in the future and designing a more stable banking sector in general, requires both higher capital levels and regulatory capital of a higher quality. In the new banking regulations, created in the aftermath of the crisis, the financial ...

making due to the increasing impacts of climate change and natural hazards. In
parallel, land use changes due to the deforestation and the expansion of urban
areas and human infrastructures in general lead to more disasters, both in space
and time. In the present work, we propose to support a PhD research dedicated
to the study of the ...
